Well hello there!

I hope you have a great weekend and that you can take it a bit easy, maybe not doing anything... more than crafting of course :) This is a card I made by inspiration from the sketch challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch.

I used a sentiment stamp from Rox stamps and a K-designs paper.

Okay, that´s all for me today!

Hugs, Birgit

Le Jardin

Hey there!

Today I have made a birthday card that I will give to a person that likes to cultivate in his garden so I wanted the card to have that theme. And I just love this color combination that I think is very beautiful.

The background I made myself by embossing paste that I first colored in with blue distress ink and a stencil which gave a nice texture. I also used a piece of white dry embossad paper left over from a previous project. The image was cut out from a Vintage Garden PION design paper. Over it I adhered the stamped heart with the Red Rubber Design sentiment that was cutout with a Spellbinders die. I finished my card with a pennant and a few things from my stash.

Wishing you all a happy day!

Hugs, Birgit

Happy Monday!
I have a new card to share with you today. I started by making the circle on the card with one of Nestabilities Majestic Elements dies. Then I placed a stamped image behind that was left over from making another card the other day.

Then, I stamped the Red Rubber Design bee, water colored it and cut it out. After adding some Star Dust Stickles I adhered it to my card together with thread, a feather and the sentiment.

That's it for today...thanks for stopping by!

Rectangle Pull Card

Hello and welcome to my blog!

Today I have a new card to show where I have used my Karen Burniston Pop It Ups die. I have not yet really become friend with it, I must say, so I have to work a little extra to get it good.

I started by coloring the image on the front with my Copics, I used a stamp from Penny Black's Mimi's Love sets.

I also added a little Glossy Accents and Star Dust Stickles.

For the inside, I did something completely different. I took out my Distress Markers and colored in a stamp from Inkido, then I sprayed it with water and made a stamp press on watercolor paper.

I used one of the dies from Spellbinders Card Creator set to cut the image out. I attached some different butterflies in the middle that pops up when the card is opened.

I love the fluttering butterflies and mild colors on this card, It makes me long for spring...

That is it for today! I hope you all have a great weekend!

Hugs, Birgit

Transparent Window Card

Hello everyone!

Just a quick post today, I have a lot to catch up with! For over a week ago I saw a challenge over at Ett Trykk about using transparencies/acetate and now finally I have got my project done. 

So I have found a piece of an old acetate in my stash and made this window card, and it was a long time since I did this kind of window card I must say.

I used papers from PION design and a bithday sentiment stamp from Inkido.

As always, thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Hugs, Birgit

A Flower For You

Hi everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful Valentin´s Day.  After all hearts and love, I wanted to do something completely different and this beautiful sunflower makes me think of summer and sunshine ... and I know it's coming sooner than you think.

I colored the image with my Copics and just added a little Diamond Stickles in the sunflower center.

So simple...and sweet:)

Thank you so much for visiting today!

Happy Valentine´s Day everyone!

I hope that you´re having a lovely day and are able to share it with those you love.

I needed one more valentine card for my son so this says: "I love you with all my butt. I should say heart but my butt is bigger".

I used a sentiment stamp from K-designs and a heart die from Penny Black.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a marvelous long weekend!

Valentine Minialbum

Hi everyone!

Several days ago, I started on this minialbum after I saw a challenge over at Ett Trykk, now finally I'm done with it! It took much longer than I had counted on, it was very much cut and paste...

I covered all the edges with washi tape, and used papers from Panduro the Country Red Paper Stack and some other leftovers from my stash.

I also added a resin swirl, a butterly and some flowers.

I put together the album with a couple of eyelets and a piece of natural twine.

That´s all from me today, bye for now...

Hugs, Birgit

Sweet Hearts

Hey there!

I´m dropping in to share a super fun card with a love theme and beautiful die cuts made by transparent acetat and and alcohol inks.

After I colored the acetat with alcohol inks I cut out the hearts with the Soft Caress die from Penny Black. 

Then I put them in my card that I made with my new "pop it ups" die Rectangle Pull Card by Elizabeth Craft designs. Then, I pimped up the Paris Flea Market paper from PION design with some more stamps and added a heart on the Eiffel Tower. It almost feels like a little spring in the air....:)

I used sentiment stamps from Whimsy Stamps and Inkido.

Okay, I hope you like today's project...I love it:) Thank you for stopping by!

Just a quick post today to show you a new baby card that I have made in vintage style with papers from Pion design.

The stroller stamp, and the sentiment is from Red Rubber Design. Then I used a Artemio punch for the right edge of the card. Okay...I don´t think I need to say so much more about my collage card:)

Wishing you all great a day!

My First ATC

Hi there!

This is my first ATC card ever! I've never been really tempted to make some, but now I have made my first and I used some old leftover things from my stash.

Now that I have completed my first maybe it will be more of them, It was anyway really fun and easy to do this.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
I´m back with a new card where a familiar little fellow got to be in focus. Even the card is a bit smaller than usual, 9x13cm.

It is just as difficult to catch the day as to catch a fly, I think:) I colored the Inkido stamp with watercolors, and stamped the Reprint sentiment in Stazon Cherry Pink.

Thanks for looking!

Gift Card Box

Hi there!

Today I have made a little different project, a box in which it is possible to have a gift card and even some candy if you like.

You can find a great tutorial HERE on the Splitcoaststampers.

 To my box I used papers from Fabscraps and PION design, the sentiment stamp on top is from You Do and the one on the inside is from Inkido.

I can say...it was really fun to do this, I will certainly do some more in the future!

Hope you have a great day!

It´s Valentine´s Time

Hi everyone!

Here comes another card with the love/valentine´s theme, it feels hot right now;) I started with an old bear stamp and painted it with watercolors, then I added a frame round the image by embossing with one Nestabilities Enhancing Elements Gold Squares One dies.

I couldn´t resist using one of Tim Holtz chitchat word stickers and a little heart to finish it of with.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
