Hello there!

Today I have a card for a child to share. The image and the sentiment I used is from Scrapfabriken and all coloring is made with my Copic pens.

I die cut the flower and the butterfly using Memory Box Prim Poppy and a CraftEmotions die. I attached the flower and the butterfly with foam tape to give dimension. I finished my card by adding Star Dust/Diamond Stickles and a few bling stones.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

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

Hi everyone!

It´s Monday and I have a card with a very cute and kind snake to share today. I´m playing along with a few blog challenges.

This sweet snake is a digi image that I colored up with my Copic pens, I also used a little Glossy Accents for the eyes. I stamped the Reprint sentiment, die cut out with a speech bubble die and popped up using foam tape. I added a leaf that I punched out of gold glitter paper together with some leftover leafs that I sponged with Distress inks. And that's all I think, a pretty simple card.

Have A Wonderful Birthday

Hi crafty friends!

Today I´m sharing a Birthday card using the Flying Boy image from Sami Stamps. I colored it up with my Copics and cut it out by hand. 

Next, I created the background using watercolor paper and blue Distress inks, I also splattered some water over and dried away. Then I used the Large Cross-Stitched Circle Stackables dies from Lawn Fawn to cut out the circle, and I also stamped the Gummiapan sentiment. I adhered the panel and the image with foam tape to give dimension. To finish the card, I added Glossy Accents to the propeller.

Wishing everyone a happy day!

Hugs, Birgit

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!

Hello crafting friends!

Today I want to share a Birthday gatefold card (it was a long time since I did one) where I have used a Wild Rose Studio stamp called "Bella in Car".

After stamping I colored up the image with my Copics and added Glossy Accents to the balloons and some other parts. I also stamped the K-designs sentiment and gold heat embossed it. To the front side, I used a Joy Craft ballon die and did the same thing to that too, with color and Glossy Accents. I adhered it with foam tape and added a small twine bow.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi there!

Today I´m joining along with Addicted to Stamps and More where they have a photo inspiration challenge. I needed a card for my grandson and decided to give it a try, this is what came out. Maybe not so childish but I hope he likes the colors :)

I started my project by stamping and white heat embossing the panel with the STAMPlorations "Party Mates" stamp set, then I sponged it with some different Distress inks. I also stamped another package/gift that I then colored with my Copics and cut out by hand. Then, I die cut the word congratulations with a Gummiapan die and for the letters I used Craft Emotions dies. In addition, I cut the same out of black foam that I then attached to the back for more dimension. I also adhered the gift with foam tape and finished of by adding a few bling stones/sequins.

Okay that´s all for me. Whishing everyone a nice weekend!

Hugs, Birgit

Hi there!

Today's card is made to a child, yet I kept it rather simple. I combined the Beary Special Birthday stamp set from My Favourite Things with Craftemotions No.11 background stamp.

I colored the bear and cake with my Copics and cut them out by hand. The balloons and cake got a layer of  Glossy Accents and the cake frosting was done by sprinkling over dry glitter, I used Rangers clear rock candy. I adhered them with foam pads for a dimensional look. The lower brown part is created with Memory Box Straight Stitches die and Distress inks, the sentiment that was stamped on it is from Rox Stamps.

May thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a great day!

Hello there!

Today I would like to show you another 1 year birthday card creation by me.

I have colored this digi cutie with Copics, and after clipping I matched it to a background that I made with Distress inks and the blending tool. At the bottom, I attached a bit of a "Grassy Border" die cut from Lawn Fawn. Next I die cut and stamped flowers from the Mama Elephants "Up and Away" stamp set and cut out by hand. For my congrats sentiment, I used a Svenskatextstämplar stamp, stamped with StazOn in Iris. For the number one, I used a numerical die who is also from Mama Elephant. I chose to add Glossy Accents to the balloon and the bands on present, and a little gold glitter to the small stars. Lastely, for a final touch, I added some sequins and a blue gem.

I hope you enjoyed todays project. Thanks so much for stopping by. and I hope you have wonderful week!

Hello and Happy 2016!

This is my first post of the new year and I hope you all had a fun New Year´s Eve. Yet, life has not returned to normal because in our family, we also celebrate a couple of birthdays in addition to the other holidays.

I used the Birthday Baby Boy stamp from Whimsy Stamps and colored it up with my Copics. As a festive addition, I used colorful patterned papers from K-designs called Color Explosion. I attached a frame with foam squares to the image and added some glossy accents and Star Dust stickles for a little sparkle. I die cut the letters to the name out of black cardstock and finished of with a few gems.

As always, thank you so very much for stopping by!

Hello crafty friends!

I hope you all had a great Christmas holiday, we enjoyed our Christmas and are now looking forward to the New Year holidays. But back to the card making and this card that I have made for a little guy who turns one year on New Year's Day.

I used a dotted embossing folder for the background and the sweet elephant was cut out with a Yvonne Creations die. I already had the little light lying on my working table so I just colored it up and added some glossy accents and glitter. I also cut out the sentiment with a die from Rox Stamps.

I´m greatful for your visit today and wishing you a Happy New Year!

Birthday Card For A Kid

Hey there!
It´s Monday and I´m dropping in this chilly autumn day to share a birthday card to a child I´ve created with the wonderful cat from Samis Stamps and You Do glitter papers. I think all kids love animals ... especially cats and dogs:)

I started with coloring up the image and also the ballons from the Mama Elephant-Up And Away set which I then cut out with the matching dies. The card base is cut with one Large Frames die No 160027 from Go Create. Next I gold heat embossed the sentiment stamped with some mini stamps from Heidi Swapp and I also cut out the cake from the patterned paper. To finish of my card after layering I added a few sequins for extra bling.
Okay, that´s all for me. Wishing you all a good week ahead!
Hugs, Birgit

It's Party Time

Hello, and welcome to my blog!

I have been on a course to learn to better coloring up with my Copic pens.  I dont know if it helped but I hope so, and from now on maybe you will get to see some more painted images here on the blog:)

I wanted to make a birthday card for a child, but I think these beautiful colors makes anyone happy and lucky.

I used the "Happy Birthday" paper from You Do and the "Amy" stamp from Whimsy Stamps.

The butterfly was cut out of wellum and white CS with a Sizzix die and then the white one was sponged a little with red Distress ink. Then they were placed one above the other.

Okay...I think that´s it for me this time. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hugs, Birgit

Balloons For Everyone!

Hi, all blog friends!

I hope your week has started well so far, and that the week brings some time in the craft room.

I saw a nice sketch at Our Creative Corner and wanted to try it to a card for a child.

This is what I came up with, an easel card with the cutest dragon you can imagine.

I took out a few pieces of paper from Webster´s Pages Ladies&Gents which I wanted to use up, and combined them with some other things from my stash.

The image was first colored with Copics. Then the balloon got one layer Glossy Accents,  and then I sprinkled it over with dry glitter. I also used a little Star Dust and Diamond Stickles.

Sentiment stamps are from Inkido (the upper)"Wish you all that you desire", and Reprint.

For the flowers I used the Small Pinuheel Posie die from Memory Box.

"The thing" to the left in chipboard was first black and glossy. I painted it with white crackle paint, but it started to fall of so then I gave it a layer Glue´n Seal too.

Here are three more challenges for this card:

This Little Heart...

 

 

Hello everyone!

It has managed to be late Sunday night, and finally I have time to sneak in and work a bit on my PC:)

This card I made for a little boy who will soon be celebrating his 4 th birthday.

 

 I think he likes bright colors, (and it makes me happy too) so I made the background paper myself  by using some old colors that originally where meant to paint eggs for Easter with.

The sweet Puppy Love image is from Bugaboo stamps, and I colored it with Copics and a little Glossy Accents on the heart.

I attatched the image over a frame cut and embossed with a Nestabilities Heart Circles die.
I punched out a border with a MS punch and attached it together with a piece of leftover Christmas paper. The sentiment are from You Do. I finished of with a ribbon tied to a bow, a flower and some rhinestones.
It's not much more to say, it is a fairly simple and quick card to be made ​​by me.

I enter it in the following challenges:

Warning!

Happy Thursday!

Today I have another card for young people. And hugs are at least some younger guys really afraid of. So here's a warning! A hug can jump out when you open ...

I am so glad that I have got my sewing machine back which has been in for repair, I've really missed it a lot. Now it goes like never before, imagine what a little oil can achieve:-)

I´ve once again used a digi from Sliekje Digi Stamps  and colored both with Copics and Distress ink to make a stamped scene.

The patterned papers Viktorias garden comes from Echo Park, and the sentiment stamp are from K-design. The other embellishments were found in my stash.

I love the bright and warm colors in this card - hope you like it too.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Birgit
