Hi friends!

With this little card I want to thank you all for this Inkido year!

Thank you for your support and kindness you have shown me by visiting the Inkido blog and leaving comments!

This card folding are called "Magic Window".

All the stuff are available from PaperCraftScandinavia, as usual:)

 

 

When you open the card to see if it's something nice on the inside, occurs something in a little magical window inside the card itself. Two pennants are pulled aside so the motif of the circle appears.

 

 

I ´d like to enter this for Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes

 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all enjoy a happy and productive day and find some time to be cretive:)

Hugs, Birgit

 

 



Christmas Greetings

 

Hello, well...as the time gets closer to Christmas, I like to show you my latest project.

I needed something to put a gift in so I took a pretty ugly bag and fixed it with paper and stuff from PaperCraft Scandinavia.

I apologize for the slightly dark pictures, it's so bad daylight right now.
 

 

First I covered it with a layer Gesso and adhered the papers. Then I went loose with the glue gun and lots of flowers:)

 

 

It is a pity that the red glitter is not so visible in the pictures, the red roses glistening just wonderful!

 

 

  I think that´s all for today from me.

I´d like to enter this Christmas gift bag in the following challenges:

Crafts And Me - No Blues Allowed

Kreative Stempelfreunde - Christmas Packages

Dream Valley - Christmas

Challenges4Everybody - Anything Goes

Well I hope you take some time for yourself too these busy days, stay crafty and bee happy!

Hugs, Birgit

 



Hear Angels' song

 

Good Saturday morning,friends! I would like to show you my new card made of a paper bag. I hope that the person who receives this will be surprised, and like it too.

 

 

The brown colors gives it a nice vintage look, and it is great with room for a personal greeting on the tag

Most of the accessory supplies can be found at PaperCraft Scandinavia.

 

 

I let the angel wing to be outside the die cut frame to get more depth. And then the gold glitter, I love it!

 

 

Thanks for your visit today! Have a wonderful weekend.

Hugs, Birgit

Mistletoe Kiss

Hello dear blogging friends!

It´s Saturday again and I´m popping in to share a center step card I created in a vintage - retro Christmas style.

 

 

I absolutely adore this Inkido image! I layered it in with some matching papers from the Coming Home For Christmas collection, lace, flowers and white die cuts.

 

 

The tag was also cut out from one of the papers and stamped with the stamp called "öppnas 24".

 

 

To finish of, I added 3D snow and glitter on top of the roses.

I had intended to show the inside, but just found out that I did not take any pictures of it. Clumsy of me! (If I have time I'll update later with a picture.)

 

 

Here is now the promised inside:)

 

 

That will be all from me. Thanks so much for checking in with me today!

Have a wonderful weekend my friends!!

Hugs, Birgit

Gift Bag For Christmas Presents

Hi again, I´m back today with a gift bag for Christmas, perfect for all Christmas presents that will soon be purchased.

 

 

The papers are all from the Inkido Forever Santa and Coming Home For Christmas collections.

The girl image is super cute, I think.

A Merry Christmas

 

Welcome back, and thank you for visiting me today!

Today I have created a Christmas card and had some fun with all the papers and stamps from PaperCraftScandinavia for this one.

 

 

 

I´m loving these glittery Christmas cards. I´ve used a variety of the new paper patterns and mix and matched them....even for the inside.

 

 

 

 

I just want to remind everyone of this months challenge over at Inkido, and it´s about Butterflies. I hope you will join in the fun, you find it HERE.

And we are welcoming our new designer from Scrap Therapy, hope you will stop by her blog and give her some love.

Christmas Card

 

Hello friends!

I hope you have a great weekend weather you will be crafting or just spend some time outside enjoying some of the lovely autumn air .

Today I can share a new Christmas card. I combined a couple of the new 6x6 papers from the Inkido Coming Home For Christmas collection.

 

 

I decorated my card with a wide satin ribbon, some flowers, lace and a lot of Star Dust Stickles.

I think it becomes so nice with glitter to Christmas cards.

 

 

I first painted the chipboard star with white crackle paint, and then directly before the paint being dry I sprinkled over glitter.

 

 

Here is a peek on the inside.

 

 

Thanks so much för visiting! Hope you enjoyed my Christmas card, I promise that there will be many more.

Hugs, Birgit



You Are An Angel

Hello everyone and welcome back!

I decided to make a tag this time for my Inkido post.

 

 I started by stamping a text on the upper part of a tag and then sponged the edges.

Then I chose one of those lovely vintage images from Papercraftscandinavia and stitched it onto a piece of embroidered linen. I colored in a piece of lace with pink distress ink. and added it to the bottom of my tag.

A sentiment was stamped and heat embossed. After I had cut it out and sponged the edges it was adhered together with pearls.

For the metal corner I used white embossing powder and heated in. I also added Pins, Pearl straw, Ribbon and a Flower with Stickles on.

Hope you all have a great weekend! Thanks for looking!

Hugs, Birgit

Recycling

Hello and happy Saturday!

What can you make out of an old milk carton?

 

 

Well, you can make a box house.

 

I made the box with a detachable roof which can be snugly fitted back on the top of the house shaped box, so that you can fill it with candy or anything else that you want to give away.

 

Yummy, yummi...

 

 

Here is the backside and the gable of the house, I used a lot of flowers on the base.

 

 

I added punchcrafted butterflies, the door and windows were cut from corrugated cardboard.

 

 

On the front top of the roof I made a tag by stamping on a paper heart, and then sponged the edges.

 

 

And this is the backside...

 

 

I used papers and flowers from PaperCraftScandinavia. Hope you also got some inspiration and enjoyed yet another recycling project.

Hugs, Birgit
