Hi there!

Another weekend has flown by and...It´s Monday again. Anyway, I have a card for CAS(E) this Sketch to share with you today, that sketch really inspired me. I have also seen inspiring challenges using buttons, so I took out my buttonbox and grabbed one big beautiful to have on my card.

I used My Favourite Things "Beary Special Birthday" stamp set and my Copics to color the image. I cut it out by hand and I also added some Star Dust glitter Stickles. Next, I die-cut some tags and sponged them using Distress inks together with Tim Holtz "Plaid" stencil. A background was created by using Sizzix "China" embossing folder. I then layered everything up and glued/taped it into place, I finished by adding two clear sequins.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs, Birgit

I have a card to share today for this weeks sketch challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches.

I started with the Flower Fairies stamp set from Whimsy Stamps and colored one of them up with my Copics. I also added some Glossy Accents and Star Dust Stickles. Then I cut it out with a Lawn Fawn Large Cross-Stitched Circle die. I choose the Tonic Studio Budding Vine die to create a background and I love how it turned out. Next, I cut the Gummiapan sentiment out of black foam to get dimension, I also added foam tape when I adhered the image for the same reason.

Okay, that´s about it I think. As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

Hi everyone!

Today I´m joining along with the Addicted to Stamps and More Photo inspiration challenge. Here is my interpretation. I created a birthday card inspirade by the cake and all the black and gold.

I used the Birthday Cake stamp from STAMPlorations and colored it up in black and gold, I also added white Nuvo Crystal Drops, Glossy Accents and Platinum Stickles before I cut it out by hand. For the background I used two stencils from Studio 490 Wendy Vecchi Dots&Stripes Border and Polka Dotty. Then I stamped the sentiment on vellum and gold heat embossed it, die-cut the Tim Holtz Celebrate word and adhered it together with a little twine bow.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Friday!

I´m dropping in today to share a card I created for no reason, sometimes it just becomes...something. This is such a project.

I started with the background that I created by using a Nellie Snellen Condolence Flower stamp together with watercolors. After stamping the flower in black I clear heat embossed it. Next, I stamped one of the birds from Tim Holtz "Bird Crazy" stamp set, colored it up with watercolors as well and cut it out with the coordinated die. I added the bird and the Svenska Textstämplar sentiment with foam tape for dimension. I finished my card by adding Glossy Accents to the beak and the eyes, I also adhered a couple of small pink colored feathers.

Wishing everyone a nice weekend!

Hugs, Birgit

A Greeting At Christmas Time ...

Hi Everyone!

Today´s card is for Muse:ChristmasVisions where Kimberly is our muse. And when I was looking for inspiration on my computer, I saw that I had an almost identical bear image myself. At first I thought I would not use it, but then I decided to use it and gave it an exciting background instead. Hope you like it.

I colored up my bear with Copic pens, cut it out by hand and added Glossy Accents to the scarf. The sentiment stamp is from K-designs and I cut it out with one Joy Crafts Labels&Tags die. For the background I used Fabscraps Reindeer patterned paper, white embossing paste and the Snowfall stencil from My Favourite Things. I finished of  by adding a couple of clear sequins.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Hugs, Birgit

Hello there crafters!

Then it was Monday again, the weekend just disappeared in some way.  Anyway, I have a card to share today playing along with a couple of blog challenges.

 I used a favourite from Katzelkraft "Les rats des villes" stamp set, colored the rat with my Copics and cut it out by hand. The Gummiapan sentiment was stamped on a tag created with Spellbinders Shapeabilities "Fancy Tags Three" die set, I both cut and embossed it, and then also sponged over it a bit with Distress ink. Next, I created a big tag as background made of different old patterned papers. I adhered the rat, the sentiment and the big tag with foam tape to create some dimension. Okay.

I think that´s all for today.

Have a great Monday everyone!

Hugs, Birgit

Hi Everyone!

Today I have another card to show where I have used the wonderful flower dies from Dee´s Distinctively. This time I tried to use watercolors.

I created the background with the mpress Swirls embossing folder and the Scrapfabriken sentiment stamp. I then cut out the bow using one Craft Emotions die, colored it up and added some Glossy Accents. And that´s about it, I think.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

It's Your Day Today!

Hello there crafters!

Today I´m sharing this card where I have used some new (for me) dies, it´s about

Dee´s Distinctively flower dies and Tonic Studio´s Budding Vine die.

The flowers are amazing, I cut them out of white cardstock and then I sponged them with some different Distress inks. I also added Glossy Accents on top of the flowers. The Gummiapan sentiment was stamped in black and then oval die-cut. Next I made two scores where I could thread the flower stems through. For the background I used the Tonic die and a piece of leftover paper from my stash.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Saturday!

It has been a little quiet here on my blog the last weeks due to Christmas, New Year and a death of a close relative. But I just had to post a card today, a card that I have created for my grandchild´s three-years day.

For my card, I used an old Nellie Snellen "Biking" stamp that I colored up with my Copics and cut out by hand. I also added some glitter Stickles and Glossy Accents. I created a background using watercolors and cut out the sentiment using a Gummiapan die. I finished my card by tying a little twine bow around the balloon.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy New Year everyone!

The first day of 2018 and I have made a card where I only used stamping.

I used a pair of silhouette stamps from Lavinia stamps, stamped them in black, masked them and then I went loose with a bunch of different plant /grass stamps. I kept to neutral colors and just added some sparkle. The sentiment stamp is from Scrapfabriken.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
