For You...Guest Designing

tisdag 24 juli 2018

Hi there!
Today I have the honor of guest designing with the talanted design team at Try It On Tuesday. The challenge theme is all about Use Book Paper, I hope you will join along this fun challenge.
I created a vintage style card featuring old book papers along with the `Freestyle Floral´ stamp set from Mama Elephant that I colored with my Copic pens. For the background I used Studio 490 Wendy Vecchi´s `3 Flourishes´ stencil and black Distress Ink. I also used some more dies, Lawn Fawn `Scripty For You´ together with Distress inks and black foam for some dimension. Memory Box `Fresh Foliage´ to add a bit more white leaf and Lawn Fawn `Outside In Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Stackables´ for the frame. I finished of by adding a few black enamel dots and black twine.
Please be sure to visit the Try It On Tuesday blog to see ALL the fantastic projects that the talanted DT has created.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there crafting friends!
Today I have a card to show that I´ve created for a couple who recently bought a house and will move there in a week or two. I want to wish them good luck with their new home with this card! For inspiration, I used the color challenge at Just Add Ink and the sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch.
 
 I used the Little Winged Friends stamp from Bildmålarna and a Gummiapan stamp for the sentiment. I colored using my Copic pens. To finish of, I added a few pearls.
Thank you for stopping by! Have a lovely day!
Hugs, Birgit

Happy Friday everyone!
I am popping in with a card to share created for CAS Colours & Sketches, using this colors.
I know, it's not a flat card and I don´t really know what the fold is called, but I hope it is simple enough for the challenge.
I have used stamps from All Dressed Up, a butterflie die from Craft Emotions and a sentiment die from Rox Stamps, Copic pens to color the image with and some Glossy Accents too. Okay, I think that´s it.
Thanks for stopping by and have great weekend!
Hugs, Birgit

Hello there!
Popping in with a card created for Muse:ChristmasVisions, and I´m also playing along with a few more blog challenges. Kimberly is our Muse with this card...


...and here is my take on it.

I used Mimosa lights the way stamp from Bildmålarna, Copic pens and Diamond Stickles to the image, that I cut out by hand. For the card base I used We R Memory Keepers Gemstone Embossing Folder and sponged it with Distress inks. Next, I created the background using old patterned papers, Tim Holtz Alterations Snowman die set, border dies from Mama Elephant and some Star Dust Stickles. The sentiment is from MFT´s Merry Everything stamp det.  I decided to add some small wild animals which I cut from an Sizzix Forest Frame die cut.
As always thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs, Birgit

Hi there crafting friends!
Today I´ve created a Birthday card for Addicted to Stamps and More, it´s their 6th Birthday and 300th challenge! In addition, birthday cards have the ability to disappear quite quickly here with me so it's time to stock up on those.
For my card I´ve used Stampendous Cling Balloon Bunny stamp that I colored up with my Copic pens, I also added Glossy Accents to the balloons for a shiny look. I cut the image out by hand and adhered it with foam tape to the background which was made with fireworks stamps from Marianne Design and some different embossing powders that I heated in. The Happy Birthday sentiment was cut out with Tim Holtz Celebrate die set. I stamped some dots with an old stamp and finished of by adding a few gold sequins.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

The blue stamped sentiment are from Rox Stamps. I finished of by adding the little butterfly that I found in my leftover stash box.

Happy Friday Everyone!
 Finally I got some time in my craftrom, there is so much to get done this time of year it's hard to find enough time for everything. But here is a card that I made for Muse:ChristmasVisions and I´m also playing along with a few other challenges too.

I used an old Reprint tree stamp that I heat embossed in clear and white embossing pouder, then I created a blue watercolor background using Distress inks. I added some white splatters too. Next, I used border dies from Mama Elephant to create the snow in front, and for the the star I used a die set from Marianne Design. I also added some Star Dust Stickles and a bling stone for more sparkle, I love when it sparkles:) I tied a Tim Holtz metal quote around the panel and popped it with foam tape.
As always thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs, Birgit

Hello there crafters!
Today I want to show a card that I made for Less is More, and their "Bits Box" Item challenge. I think it's one of the fastest cards I ever made because all the things were already there, just picking them up from my "left over/god to have" box and arranging them.
The bird is from Crafty Secrets Bird Notes stamp set.
Ok, I hope you like my project, and that you all have a great day!
Hugs, Birgit
