Hi everyone!

Now that summer has arrived, it´s easy to train and I usually keep a training Log or rather, I have one online and then one in the old-fashioned paper way. Now it's time for a new paper version and of course, I wanted to fix it up a bit.

I dressed in the covers with pieces of fabric and then I used a lot of leftover stuff together with some old stamps that I found in my stash.

It can be easily opened and closed by using a piece of wire.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit...I hope you have a great week!

Hugs, Birgit

Today You Will Be Celebrated

Hello and welcome!

Today I have a card for a guy who turns 25 to show you. It was a little hard to come up with something because I don´t think he is cars/hard rock/sport/boats style of guy, so it got a little nature inspired instead.

I hope he likes it, I tried to keep it pretty "clean".

I started with papers from the "Ready To Go" paper pad from American Crafts and a digi image saved on my computer,  which I colored up with my Copics. I also added some Glossy Accents on the bubbles and Star Dust Stickles.

The left black butterfly border was made with Memory Box "Kensington Border". For the sentiment I used one stamp from Stämpelkällan.

I finished of  with one of my butterflies, you have seen them before:) On the inside, I made a pocket for some money or a gift card.

That´s it for today, I hope you have a great start to the summer!

Hugs, Birgit

Card Without Text

Hello and welcome!

Today I have a masculine card to share with no text on the front, a little fun...I think.

And yes, I know I failed a bit with the bottom arrow ... but it'll surely be seen that it is handmade:)

I used stamps from Tim Holtz and Glitz Laced with Grace set, Ribbon, Staples, Distress inks and some pencils. That´s it from me today!

Confirmation Card Again...

Happy Friday!

I have made ​​yet another confirmation card and this time it became a card in vintage style. 

I decided to try a new card fold I found the description to in the latest issue of the magazine Ett Trykk. But I do not know how I was thinking, of the course you should use a round or oval die for this! Which I did not and then it immediately became a problem ... there was some tinkering before I got it to work, and here are the result.

I used papers from Maja Design Vintage Summer Basics paper pad and a vintage image I think was from a Pion design sheet.

I also used some dies and they are: Nestabilities Classic Ovals Large, Shapeabilities Window Three, Sheapabilities Fancy Tags, Memory Box Fresh Foliage.

For the sentiment I used a stamp from Vilda Stamps, and then I finished of this project with some other stuff from my stash.

I wish you a great weekend! Here where I live, nature is at its most beautiful right now so I'll enjoy it as much as I can.

Hugs, Birgit

Enjoy All Of Life's Moments

Hi there!

Tuesday again, and we´re almost passed the month of May, how did that happen ...? Anyway, I have a new card to show today with some thoughtful words.

"Life consists of both large and small moments. Enjoy them!"

I started by inking up watercolor paper with a few different blue Distress inks, and then spray over it with water. Thereafter I ran it through the "Cuttlebug" embossingfolder from ProvoCraft and added a little white Gesso on the raised flowers with my finger.

I cut it down, and adhered a die cut from Memory Box "Kensington Border" on the left side. The sentiment from Rox Stamps was stamped in StazOn Olive Green and then heat embossed. I finished of with a little metal charm.

Thank you for visiting!

Hugs, Birgit

Confirmation Card

Hi everyone!
And once again, I welcome you to my blog. Today I´m sharing a confirmation card that I have made for a girl and I think this type of card is called recessed window card.

I started by coloring the "Lupita" digi image with my Copics, under the image I added some Stampendous Aged Silver embossing pouder and heated in. I punched out three butterflies with my Martha Stewart punch and added Silver Mix glitter to one of them and sprayed it with pink color.

I used papers from K-design and the sentiment stamp are from Vilda Stamps.The swirl I cut out with a Die-namics die and dyed it with Dusty Concorde Distress ink topped with glimmer mist. I had some leftover things on my desk from previous projects that now came into use, a chipboard heart, a die cut leaf and a couple of pins.

The metal corner was first painted with white gesso and then a second time with black acrylic paint. After it dried I sanded it a bit for a worn look.
The card was finished of with pearls, ribbons, twine and a metal cross.

Thanks for visiting my blog, I wish you all a wonderful day wherever you are!
Hugs, Birgit
