Cards R Fun

fredag 18 oktober 2013

Hi everyone!

Today I have a very simple card to show, sometimes it's fun to change style totally.

I used a Nellie Snellen die to punch out the Christmas tree. Then I placed a piece of paper behind it with 3 D foam, to achieve a 3D effect.

It shows unfortunately not so good in the picture, but I also rounded the top left corner to get something "happen" there.

I stamped the sentiment with a stamp fromVilda Stamps. I finished of the card with a star at the top of the tree.

Yes, that's it ... Now I wish you all a lovely autumn weekend!

Hugs, Birgit

Hi, and welcome back to my blog!

Today I have a candy box to show. I made it by following the tutorial that was shown in the Ett Trykk magazine.

I thought it was a good time to use up a little of all waste pieces that are left over after other projects.

Of course, still some new things found its way here as well, such as the feather, and the leaves that I made myself.

To them, I used a leaf punch from Nellie Snellen, some Distress inks and three layers of UTEE.

The stamped sentiment on the front side are from Whimsy Stamps.

The one on the back are from red Rubber Design.

That´s all from me today. As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

Hi everyone!

Thanks so much for visiting me today! First, I made a card that I was not at all happy with. I thought it was too much dots, and too little border around the card. Also, I had stamped a few snowflakes that felt all wrong. So I simply made a new one, and here you see the result.

The problem was to remove the reindeer from the first card, the glue stuck very well, I must admit. Finally it loosened but unfortunately also a piece of the leg on the reindeer came off, and part of the reindeer antlers.

So here is the poor mistreated reindeer, luckily you can´t see it so good if you don´t look closely.

I embossed him with three layer silver embossing pouder and then stamped into it while the third coat was still soft with a text stamp. I placed him so that it looks like he is heading out of the "picture".

Have a great day everyone!

Hugs, Birgit

Hello and welcome back!

My post today is a little different than usual because I wanted to show a card in the so-called CAS style. I've made it to the challenge over at Less is More, I hope I manage to get with it, before the challenge closes for

the week.
