Vintage Easter Card

måndag 30 mars 2015

A warm welcome again friends!
This is my second post for today and now I want to show an Easter card of course:)


I was inspired to create a rectangle pull card by using a die from Elisabeth crafts Designs but without using the pop it up details.


I used the beautiful vintage PION design papers from last years collection "A Day in May" for my card.  Then I inked up a couple of stamps which I complemented with.


A sentiment and a pair of small bunnies was cut out with a Rox Stamps die and then added with the other embellishments.
Thanks again for stopping by (if you have seen my first post today)! I hope you enjoyed my project.
Hugs, Birgit

Pocket Tag

fredag 27 mars 2015

Hello everyone!
Today I have a fairly simple pocket tag to display. First I stamped some text as a background and covered it partially with white dots of embossing paste.


Then I painted a chipboard flower from Tando Creative with Distress inks and heated in some thick clear embossing powder so it looks like dew drops, love it:)


 I also added a little stamped Heidi Swapp sentiment and a few things/die cuts from my stash.

I used some different old stamps and inks for the tag and finished of with a couple of Tims Chitchat words.
Thanks so much for your visit here on my blog today!
Hugs, Birgit

Case A DT Card

tisdag 24 mars 2015

Hey there everyone!
Today I´m sharing a very special card for me...it's my first shaker cards ever:) The one who got me to try it out is DT Sarah over at Less is More, here is her lovely card...


...and here´s mine.


Besides that there is a shaker card, I have focused on the theme of love. I started with the dry embossing that was made with one of the folders from Sizzix Scallop Heart Doily Set. Next I punched out the hole and added distress ink to the flowers. The hearts inside the plastic was made with a homemade stencil. And finally, the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps Film Srip set.
And that´s it, friends. Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Hugs, Birgit

måndag 23 mars 2015



Hi, and welcome back!
Today I have a clean and simple card to show you. I wanted to make an Easter card for the upcoming Easter holiday so I needed some inspiration and found it at this week's CAS (E) this Sketch Challenge.




First the shipboard bird got a layer with black embossing powder that was heated in, then it received another layer of thick clear embossing powder for a shiny look. I embossed the background paper with a Cuttelbug embossing folder and cut out the eggs with a standard oval die. Sentiment from Panduro.
That´s it I think...have a nice day!

A Small Gift Box

lördag 21 mars 2015

Hi there!
I hope you are having a great weekend! Today I have a new project to share where I have recycled a box.


I did a background of metal tape, black acrylic color and Tim Holtz Alterations Texture Fades embossing folders.


 It was a little tricky to make the frames but it went with the help of Tim Holtz Alterations Plaque & Postage die and another square die. I painted them with light green acrylic paint and black Distress Ink.


There is a lady cut out from a Reprint paper and some other old stuff and papers from my stash.


I attached a metal knob on each side of the box so it can be opened in both directions.


Okay, I hope you like my little project. Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Hugs, Birgit

Spring Sunshine

onsdag 18 mars 2015

Hello evereyone!
For today I have made a joyfold card and it is the first time for me with that folding technique...and it was fun:) I will do it again.


Right now I really like using watercolors so I started by making the image and to it I used the Wendy Vecchi From The Garden stencil and Distress inks.


Next I used beautiful yellow papers from the old Papermania Lemon Sorbet paper pack. Love the yellow shades!


I took out the Frensh Foliage die from Memory Box, cut and colored it with Distress ink. The little sentiment on the front was made with a Heidi Swapp mini stamp.


I also added ribbon and a Freckled Fawn paper clip. On the inside i adhered a quote that I wrote on my old typewriter...so fun.
And that´s it friends. Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Hugs, Birgit

Dance, Sing and Smile

måndag 16 mars 2015

Hi friends!
I believe we all have a whole pile of papers lying that we think are so beautiful or have something special that we barely want to hide them behind a lot of decorations. Here is one of them,  when I saw the challenge over at Ett Trykk a week ago about rapid/simple cards I immediately thought of using one of these for a card.


Quickly done and it's ok for a man...I think. I used the K-designs Take my picture - Photo paper and the Smile stamp from Kaiserkraft. Around the edges I heated in Aged Silver embossing pouder from Stampendous. I used a bling stone just to add some nice extra element.
 That´s it...thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hey there!
I´m back to share a card made with this weeks sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch. I have already seen a lot of amazing contributions on the challenge blog, but I will still add my project too.


I'm a little hooked on watercolors right now so it became an image made with watercolors, old Prima Marketing stamps and a K-designs sentiment stamp. I made a frame by simply cutting out a frame from the image and mount it with 3D foam.
Okay that´s all for me...
Hugs. Birgit

Hello and good evening!
It's Friday and I hope you look forward to the weekend, I want to quickly show you this birthday card before I'll cozy up on the couch:)


Here you can see a close up of the image. The coloration is made with Copics.


I adhered it with foam for a 3D effect over Authentique papers in soft spring colors. The Heidi Swapp sentiment was stamped with StazOn Fuchsia Pink.
I think that's all for today. Happy crafting and weekend!

It´s Time For Easter

torsdag 12 mars 2015

Hi friends!
The past week I've been super busy with work and illnesses, there has not been much time for crafting. Despite this, I managed to squeeze in a little crafting time and made this Easter card.


The stamps from Panduro was painted with watercolors and the branch was made with a Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations Holiday Greens die.


The chicken and the eggs was cut out and mounted with foam for a 3D effect.
Not so much to show you today, I thank you so much for stopping by my blog! Have  a great week!
Hugs, Birgit!

Gold Embossing

onsdag 4 mars 2015

Hi everyone!
I wanted to try to emboss a little bit larger image on vellum, so I created this card where I used a Glitz stamp from the Laced with Grace set and gold embossing pouders.


The Whimsy Stamps Film Strip sentiment was stamped and embossed with Copper embossing pouder. I have used papers from Echo Park Hello Summer Paper Pads and I placed one of them behind the vellum image. I stamped the corners with a Vintage Fancy Corner stamp which also is from Whimsy Stamps. I added some bling stones and Tim Holtz Alterations Holiday greens die cuts together with a flower.
Okay, that´s all for me today...wishing you all a nice day:)
Now I'll go out and enjoy the spring sunshine....
Hugs, Birgit
