Cards R Fun

måndag 19 maj 2014

Hi everyone!

I hope you had a nice weekend, the Monday is almost over here with me too... I´m back from a busy week but now I want to show you a new card that I have made.

Green and brown does not appear so often in challenges or on blogs, but I love this color combination, especially this time of year and for Christmas.

I used Spellbinders Card Creator dies and an image from PION design "A Day in May" that I cut out with a Nestabilities Labels Four die. I sponged the edges and the die cuts with Distress inks.

Some flowers, rhinestones and natural colored paper twine finished the card of.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

Hi again!

Well, I´m so happy to be back and able to share a new card with you. I saw a sketch over at CAS on Sunday and thought that this one, I must try:)

For this card I used a piece of left over design paper from K-designs, and the Pixie Flower die from Memory Box. I cut out the flower in white CS and then colored it with some Distress inks. The flower also got some Glossy Accents on and a big rhinestone in the middle.

The left over CS (with a hole in), I then used as a stencil with Black Soot Distress ink to create shadows on the design paper. Then I cut the paper piece into three parts and added them with 3D foam to my card.

I stamped the Inkido sentiment, cut it out and added a couple of stripes from the design paper, on both sides of it.

That was it...hope you are having a great day!

Hugs, Birgit

Flowers For You

söndag 11 maj 2014

Hello friends!

Thank you so much for popping by again. I wanted to give today's card soft pastel spring colors to celebrate the arrival of spring, and then I thought the "Flower Fairies" stamp from Whimsy Stamps with all the flowers suited well.

I colored my fairie with Copic pens and then I added a little Platinum Stickles for a little shimmer. I cut out the image and ran it through one of the embossing folders from Sizzix Scallop Heart Doily Set. Then I sponged over it with Spun Sugar/Victorian Velvet Distress ink.

The sentiment was cut out with a Memory Box Teramo Labels die, then added with spring green ribbon and a brad.

It's a pretty simple card but I think it has a fresh feeling ... just like spring:)

Have a great Sunday!

Hugs, Birgit

Hello!

Today I´m sharing a male card, I think it´s time for that. It is all too easy to forget them when, at least I comes to cardmaking. This is my verson of a male Spring Card.

Many men want to spend their time in nature and the first insects for the year must be a sign of spring as good as any ....

I wanted to try out a new paste I got that leaves a "sandy" results. I applied it through a dots stencil from Wendy Vecchi. The trees was stamped and cut out with Sizzix Alterations Holiday Joy set. I first clear heat embossed the stamped fly from Stampers Anonymous Tiny Things set before I cut it out.

On the right inside I attached a couple of strips of fabric tape.

I believe that time flies if you love being out in nature. I wish you a great day where ever you are right now!

Hugs, Birgit

Hi everyone!
Today I'm really happy because I've been invited to be a guest designer for Crafting By Design. I´m so excited to be joining along the ordinary design team in the new challenge "M is for Mom".

I combined a couple of Anna Griffin's stunning papers, I get so happy by the colors and the flowers and I hope mom will be it too. I made the sentiment on my computer and then I chose one of the small stamps from Stampers Anonymous "Tiny Things" collection and stamped underneath.

I used Nestabilities Floral Ovals dies to cut the sentiment out and then added it to my card. I finished of with pearls that I colored with Copic pens to get different shades, a flower and a ribbon bow.
Okay...that´s all for me. The other teamies have put together some really fabulous projects to inspire you for this challenge, why not stop over and check them out here?
Wishing you all a happy day!
Hugs, Birgit

Hey there!

Today I have a card in vintage style to share with you that I created for a couple of days ago.

I started my card with adorable vintage papers from Reprint and Graphic 45 and combined them together. I stamped the Inkido sentiment and cut it out, then I added it together with a button.

Then I used Coffee Archival ink together with a round stamp from Rox Stamps and stamped in a few places. I created a bow with colored in seam binding and added it with a brad.
