Hello there crafters!

Today I have one more wintry/Christmas card to show you, I´m playing along with a some blog challenges listed below.

I wanted to try Crafters Companion's Winter Night stamp set that I could lay my hands on at Christmas. I started of by stamping in Iced Spruce Distress ink and then I clear heat embossed the image, I colored up the rest with watercolors. Next, I added Snow Writer to the trees and sprinkled over loose glitter before it had dried (so sorry that the glitter can not be seen). I made a frame using Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Scalloped Rectangle dies. I also cut the Memory Box Traditional Stars out of gold glitter paper and adhered it with foam tape as well as the frame for some dimension. And that´s about it, I think.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

Christmas Greetings

Hello there!

I hope your week is going well. Myself, I have not really given up the Christmas card making, maybe it's good to do some while the feeling is still there. In addition, I found this new wonderful moose on sale after Christmas.

I started out by creating the background using watercolors, stamping the trees with an old tree stamp and Forest Moss Distress ink. I splattered on some white ink to make it snow. Next, I cut the Tim Holtz Merry Moose out of white cardstock (except the band around the moose neck that was cut out of red CS) and then sponged the pieces with different Distress inks. I also added some Stickles in Platinum and Star Dust. I used some white paper to cut out snow and stamped the Vilda Stamps sentiment before I adhered it with foam tape. A few finishing touches with Snow Writer on the ground, on the moose horns and its back.

Thanks for stopping by/reading!

Tomorrow or no later than next week, then dash it!

Hello there!

I don´t know if I have translated the sentiment right, dash it - that you mean seriousness, to grab things? I hope you understand anyway, maybe you have promised something for the new year.

I have used one rat from Katzelkraft´s rats "Les rats des villes" stamp set, I love them all! As well as the InkyWings sentiment from a stamp set called Snorkigt#2. I colored the rat with my Copic pens and cut out by hand. For the sentiment, I used a Joy Crafts Labels & Tags die to cut it out. The embossed background was created with a Docrafts  embosssing folder. And to follow up the dots, I used a Wendy Vecchi "Polka Dotty" stencil and Bundle Sage Distress ink. I created a frame using Die-namics Inside/Out Stitch Oval dies. I finished of by adding a CraftEmotions die-cut bow.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Welcome Baby

Hello there friends!

It's time for a baby card! I'll be grandma for the fifth time any day now so this is for him ... because it's a little boy we are waiting for. And it´s a wonderful team that welcomes him!

 For my card I used a digi image that I colored up with my Copic pens and I also added some Glossy Accents. The baby word was cut with Memory Box Baby Script die out of gold glitter paper. The stamped welcome is a retired Reprint stamp. To create the frame, I used Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Scalloped Rectangle dies. Finally I created a matching envelope.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic day!

To A Very Special Person

Hello there crafters!

I´m back today with a card for Daisy Chain´s "Add Some Sparkle" and The Sisterhood of Crafters " Make It Sparkle" challenges... and I´m also linking up with some other challenges too.

Penny´s Paper-Crafty - Anything Goes

I used old designer paper for the cardbase and the Budding Vine die from Tonic Studios to create the background. The butterfly was cut out by using Sizzix dies and then sponged with Distress inks. Next, I added Glossy Accents to the wings and sprinkled over loose glitter before it had dried. The sentiment was stamped with a Svenska Textstämplar stamp and I used one Craft Emotions die to cut out the bow,

 I also added a bling stone.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!

Happy Birthday

Hi everyone!

I´m back today to share a Birthday card, and I have used the adorable Beary Special Birthday stamp set from My Favourite Things to this somewhat childish card.

I colored the image up with my Copics, I also added some Glossy Accents and sprinkled loose glitter over before it had dried. I cut the image out by hand and placed it in the frame which I created by using a leftover Christmas cut-out as a stencil and sponged with green Distress ink. I then cut a circle using Lawn Fawn Large Cross-Stitched Stackables. I also used a Die-Namics Inside&Out Diagonal Stitched Square die. The Happy Birthday stamp is from Rox Stamps and was white heat embossed, the bow were cut with one Craft Emotions die out of gold glitter cardstock.

Thank you for checking out my blog today! Hope everyone has a good start of the year!

Hugs, Birgit

Training Diary

Hello there!

Now here at the beginning of the year there is a lot of new energy to grab things again and I have promised to train a little bit more, so therefore I have picked up an old notebook and looked deep in my stash to fix it.

It was really fun to do something a little different and also use some old leftover material, I like that!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!

Have A Wonderful Birthday

 Hello there crafters!

I´m back after the Christmas and New Year, I hope that 2019 will be wonderful for all of us. So, the new year inspired me to create this card, but I haven't found time to post it until now.

For my card I started with black and gold glitter cardstock. I die cut the front panels using Memory Box Latchette Border die and layered with foam tape. On the inside, I stamped the fireworks from Marianne Design, the Kristina Scrapbooking sentiment and heat embossed with some different metal pouders. I added some bling stones and leftover stars to finish of and I called this one done.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit
