Hi everyone!

 Today there will be a super quick post here on my blog, I just want to show you a digi image that I colored with my Copics, together with a sentiment stamp from Gummiapan.

I masked the rabbit and sponged the background with Distress Inks. Then I just added some Glossy Accents, dry Glitter and a few sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

Hello there!

The sun is shining outside my window right now and I have to admit that the sun gives me hope for the coming spring, the best of seasons, if you ask me:)

I have used the "Fly-By Friends" stamp set and the coordinating dies from My Favourite Things to create this spring inspired card.

I colored all the images and the background with Distress inks, added StarDust/Diamond Stickles and Glossy Accents to some parts and details. The grass was cut with a Lawn Fawn die, and all parts was adhered with foam tape for dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hugs, Birgit

Hi there!

Just poppin´ in today with a card created with the "Beautiful Day" stamp set by Altenew.

 First I stamped all the flowers using masking technique with my MISTI and colored them with Copics in pink and soft puple colors.

I white heat embossed the sentiment on black cardstock and popped it up with foam tape. I finished with a few sequins and rhinestones for some sparkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

With Lowe

Hello there crafters!

I didn´t have time to show you this card on the blog here before Valentine's Day, therefore, I show it for you now instead.

For this card I used two embossing folders, to the background, one of the We R memory keepers "Gemstone" folders. I hope you see the texture on the lower photo. The heart is made with one of the folders from "Sizzix Scallop Heart Doily Set" that I first dyed in with Momento Love Letter ink before I run it thru my embossing machine. I then cut the heart out by hand and adhered it with foam tape. The Whimsy Stamps "Film Strip" sentiment was framed with a little doodling and added with heart brads. I finished of by tying a ribbon around the card.

That´s all for today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

No One Can Be Down With A Balloon

Hello there friends!
I hope you all had a happy Valentine´s Day!
I´m back after a short break and I´ve created a birthday card to a man's 55 birthday.

I started by cutting the ballon out, that is not really a balloon but a Dixi Craft Christmas decoration die, out of a piece of white paper. Next, I used one old paper with hats from Fancypantsdesigns "Swagger" paper pad and cut the numbers out of it with Mama Elephants dies. I sponged the edges with Distress ink and  added a couple of cut out letters under the hats. I backed the balloon with black cardstock and adhered the balloon and the frame with foam tape for dimension. Then I stamped the Gummiapan sentiment in "Coffee" Archival ink and finished of by adding the black twine under the balloon.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

With Love

Hello there crafters!

Valentine´s are abounding in card land and I have another one with a little different folding using old Graphic 45 papers.

Inside, there will be both words of love and a few winning tickets (at least I hope it will be so). The Whimsy Stamps Film Strip sentiment was cut with a Teramo Labels die from Memory Box.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!

Sending You Love

Hello there!

Today I want to share a very clean and simple card created for Less is More, which by the way are celebrating birthday number 6, with a color wheele challenge.

I used the colors purple, pink, and red from the wheel. The background is made with Spun Sugar Distress ink and the "On the Diagonal" stencil from My Favourite Things.

I cut out the hearts with Penny Black´s "Soft Caress" die, then added red inks and Glossy Accents. The small stamped sentiment in black is from the MFT "Fly-By Friends" stamp set, and the big one in purple and pink is from an old Autumn Leaves stamp set "Love With A Fluorish". I couldn´t resist adding some Glosy Accents there too.

Okay that´s all for me. Whishing all of you a wonderful day!

Hugs, Birgit

Love Those Berries...

Hello there crafters!

Just popping in to share a card I´ve created for Muse:Christmas Visions and I´m also linking up with some other challenges.

I used the Festive stencil from Tim Holtz and sponged it with Distress inks. I LOVE those berries, so to give them extra dimension and shine, I added Glossy Accents.

Since there was a lot of gold (looks like embossing) on Chriss card, I wanted to use that too and I think it became nice on the pine cones. For the sentiment I used a Rox Stamps die, and I finished of with a few gold sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Birthday

Hello friends, and Happy Friday!

 I hope the weather is with you where you live, I can tell you, here with me it's gray skies and pretty depressing outside the windows.

Today I have a Birthday card to share. I don´t know how it´s with you, but I always need some prepared, suddenly, I need one or two. I started by stamping the "Fire Out Set" from Art Impressions and color it up with my Copics. Next I cut the lady out by hand and adhered her with foam tape on old designer papers from my stash. I used Tim Holtz "Celebrate" die set for the Birthday sentiment and finished of with a few enamel dots.

Okay, wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Hugs, Birgit
