Hi there!

Today I´m sharing a project I created for my Dad using the sketch over at CAS Colours and Sketches. It is a couple of weeks left for Father's Day, I know, but it feels good to be ready for it.

I started with the background panel using a Provocraft embossing folder. Next, I die-cut the Joy Crafts balloons and colored them up with watercolors, then I added Glossy Accents for a really shiny look.The sentiment from K-designs was stamped, then white heat embossed and adhered with foam tape. I finished the card off with a Craft Emortions die-cut bow and a few pearls.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Oh Joy

Hello there!

I'm back again with another card for Muse:ChristmasVision, and this time I have tried me on Elizabeth Stewart´s first Muse card.

I tried to stick to the same layout. 

I created the pink star by mixing Spun Sugar Distress ink with Embossing paste and then adding it thru a piece of chipboard where there once sat a snowflake and which I have saved to use as a stencil, I also sprinkled over glitter before it had dried.

Next, I die-cut a square out of a panel using one Die-namics Inside&Out Diagonal Stitched Square STAX die. Some more snowflakes was cut out with Craft Emotions and Memory Box Lindeman Snowflake dies and then adhered to the card.

For the sentiment I used Lawn Fawn Winter Big Scripty Words stamp set together with the coordinating die and backed it with black foam to give dimension.

I finished of with a few bling stones and that´s it...I think.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

A Hug

Hello there!

Thank you so much for joining me today! I have a card for Sketch Saturday to show you and I have used the awesome Ebony stamp from The Emerald Faeries.

I colored it up with my Copics and cut it out by hand, I also added some Glossy Accents and Star Dust Stickles for shine and glitter. I framed it with ovals cut out of vellum and white cardstock. For the background I used old Pinkpaislee designer papers and the edge was cut with one die from the MFT Die-namics Stitched Scallop Basic Edges die set. The Hug die was cut from black cardstock and white foam, then adhered to the card. I finished of by adding a few hearts and a gem.

I wish you all a nice weekend!

Hugs, Birgit

Hello and welcome!

I´m so glad you stopped by my blog today! I have just finished a card for Muse:ChristmasVisions that I want to show.

Elizabeth Stewart is our Muse this time with two cards and this is my take on the second one.

I started with the background that I created using blue and green Distress inks on watercolor paper, I also splattered some white ink over it. Next, I used the Tutti Designs Merry & Bright die to cut the sentiment direct out of white foam for dimension, and for more shimmer I also used Star Dust Stickles. I continued to cut out spruce branches with Tim Holtz Holiday Greens and Memory Box Pine Needle Border dies. I layered them together and added some 3D snow, silver pearls and sequins to finish of.

That´s it for today.

Hugs, Birgit

Hello...

Happy Tuesday!

Sitting here looking out on a really gray and cloudy morning, it's very much fall here with me now. Despite this, I have not an autumn inspired card to show today, instead I have found inspiration from a couple of other challenges, the colour challenge over at Just Add Ink and the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch.

I decided to use the Les Jungles stamp set from Katzelkraft which is a favorite. I colored up my image with Copic pens and then cut it out by hand, I also sdded some glitter Stickles to it. Next, I cut out a couple of squares using Die-namic dies, for the one at the top I used a Crafter Workshop Mini Numbers stencil and sponged it with Hickory Smoke Distress ink. The Hello die is from Mama Elephant. I finished my card with a few black enamel dots.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

Noel

Hello there!

Again I finished another Christmas card, I hope I´m not boring you out with these, I know that it's still a while to go until Christmas.

I used a stamp from Vilda Stamps "Jultexter A5" set and heat embossed it with "Bridal" pouder for shimmer, then green Distress ink was blended over. Next, I stamped the sentiment from Inkido vertically in black. I also stamped the Noel from the Lawn Fawn "Winter Big Scripty Words" set and cut it out with the coordinated die after attaching it to black foam to get more dimension. I finished of with a few gold sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have yourself a great day!

Hugs, Birgit

My Three Furry Friends Wishing Merry Christmas

Hello there!

I´m back with a card for Muse:ChristmasVisions challenge. In the"the eleventh hour", so to speak, before it expires. I had a fun time getting my furry friends together for this challenge.

I started by stamping the reindeer from Scrapfabriken and the Katzelkraft mouse from the "Les rats des Villes" stamp set. I also stamped the dog from Tim Holtz "Crazy Dogs" set and cut the dog out by hand after coloring all of them with my Copics. Next, I created a frame using Distress inks through the Memory Box "Winter Flurry Frame" stencil, I also added some 3D snow and glitter. The sentiment from Scrapfabriken was stamped and white heat embossed. Then I adhered the dog and the sentiment with foam tape for dimension.

That´s it. Thanks so much for dropping by today!

Hugs, Birgit

Hello there crafters!

The other day when I started looking through my Christmas designer papers for another card I found some old 3D clipart images, and of course I could not let the scissors rest then:) This snowman is just so cute!

After I assembled everything with thin dimensions, I gave him a shiny nose using Glossy Accents and I also added some sequins and a frame. I stamped the You Do sentiment and cut it out with a Joy Crafts Labels & Tags die. I also used  a Rox Stamps die for the big Merry Christmas.

That´s all for today! As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello everyone and happy Monday!

I'm back after my vacation to share a simple birthday card with you.

For the card I used a Tim Holtz stencil "Rays" together with some Distress inks to create the background. The sentiment is from Svenska textstämplar. I also used a die from Gummiapan, which I cut out from both black and white cardstock and then adhered with foam tape for dimension. I finished of by adding a few bling stones.

Thanks for stopping by and have yourself a great day!
