All the stuff are available from PaperCraftScandinavia, as usual:)

 

 

When you open the card to see if it's something nice on the inside, occurs something in a little magical window inside the card itself. Two pennants are pulled aside so the motif of the circle appears.

More Christmas...

Hi there!

As promised I'm back with a new project...and this one is another Christmas card I did not manage to post on the blog before Christmas:)

 

 

For this one I picked up my Tim Holtz Distress Markers, which I do not usually use so often in fact. So it was really fun to do it now. I used one Alotha stamp, and papers from Authentique Wonder Collection.

 

 

I think the colors became great and I cut it out, the bow got a layer Glossy Accents for more highlight.

For the sentiment I used one Merry Christmas You Do stamp, as well as the round one in the upper left corner.

 

 

Im entering the following challenges:

Charisma Cardz - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

Little Miss Muffet - Anything Goes

Party Time Tuesdays - Anything Goes

Thank you so much for taking the time to stopping by my blog!  

I'll be back soon....
Hugs, Birgit

Spread A Little Love This Christmas

Hello!, everybody out there doing all Christmas preparations!

It's not easy to keep up with everything right now. But I still had time to make this card for my daughter and her boyfriend.

I Colored it up with my Copics. The sketch is from Sketch Saturday, and I used parts from a Memory Box Frostyville Wreth die cut. BasicGrey Jovial Paper Pad was used, the other stuff was found in my stash.

Christmas Greetings

 

Hello, well...as the time gets closer to Christmas, I like to show you my latest project.

I needed something to put a gift in so I took a pretty ugly bag and fixed it with paper and stuff from PaperCraft Scandinavia.

I apologize for the slightly dark pictures, it's so bad daylight right now.
 

 

First I covered it with a layer Gesso and adhered the papers. Then I went loose with the glue gun and lots of flowers:)

 

 

It is a pity that the red glitter is not so visible in the pictures, the red roses glistening just wonderful!

 

 

  I think that´s all for today from me.

I´d like to enter this Christmas gift bag in the following challenges:

Crafts And Me - No Blues Allowed

Kreative Stempelfreunde - Christmas Packages

Dream Valley - Christmas

Well I hope you take some time for yourself too these busy days, stay crafty and bee happy!

Red & Blue Christmas

 

Hello blogfriends!

Today I'm here to share a project that I've made in red and blue. It may not be traditional , but I like this color mix.

The sweet stamp from Elisabeth Bell is so lovely, I just had to color it up, up in the blue and dark winter night

 

 

Merry Christmas is written on a ribbon, then I added a Memory Box die cut that I split into two pieces at both sides.

 

 

 

I used my Copics, different Stickles, a Paper Pen and Glossy Accents for the image.

 Then I cut it out and stitshed it on red CS and and a frame made with one Nestabilities Lacy Squares die.

 

 

Papers are from the Inkido Forever Christmas collection. All the other stuff was found in my stash.

I used this weeks sketch over at Sketchy Colors.

St. Nicholas

Hello all, and happy Thursday!

Today I like to show you an altered matchbox I made with a Inkadinkado stamp.

In recent days, we have received out first snow this winter here with me. So now I´m in the right Christmas mood:)

 

I sponged the image with red and green Distress Inks, then stitched it on to a doly and pieces of left over Christmas papers.

3D snow was adhered on the side edges. I added lace and rhinestones at the top and the bottom.

 

 

Snowflaces was punched out and layered with Star Dust Stickles. I colored in Seam Binding with inks and tied it to a bow, then decorated with a button and twine.

The sentiment was made with a Inkido stamp and cut into two pieces.

 

 

I´d like to enter this matchbox into the following challenges:

Christmas Eve 24 December

Hello, I´m back today with another fun circular side step card with papers from Landstoken. I love the soft pale colors, and the vintage look.

The image was cut and embossed with Nestabilities Star Circles. For the sentiment I used one Inkido stamp.

A part of a Memory Box Frostyville Wreath die cut was also used.
