Hello evereyone!

For today I have made a joyfold card and it is the first time for me with that folding technique...and it was fun:) I will do it again.

Right now I really like using watercolors so I started by making the image and to it I used the Wendy Vecchi From The Garden stencil and Distress inks.

Next I used beautiful yellow papers from the old Papermania Lemon Sorbet paper pack. Love the yellow shades!

I took out the Frensh Foliage die from Memory Box, cut and colored it with Distress ink. The little sentiment on the front was made with a Heidi Swapp mini stamp.

I also added ribbon and a Freckled Fawn paper clip. On the inside i adhered a quote that I wrote on my old typewriter...so fun.
And that´s it friends. Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Hugs, Birgit

Dance, Sing and Smile

Hi friends!

I believe we all have a whole pile of papers lying that we think are so beautiful or have something special that we barely want to hide them behind a lot of decorations. Here is one of them,  when I saw the challenge over at Ett Trykk a week ago about rapid/simple cards I immediately thought of using one of these for a card.

Quickly done and it's ok for a man...I think. I used the K-designs Take my picture - Photo paper and the Smile stamp from Kaiserkraft. Around the edges I heated in Aged Silver embossing pouder from Stampendous. I used a bling stone just to add some nice extra element.

 That´s it...thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hugs, Birgit

Get Well

Hey there!
I´m back to share a card made with this weeks sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch. I have already seen a lot of amazing contributions on the challenge blog, but I will still add my project too.

I'm a little hooked on watercolors right now so it became an image made with watercolors, old Prima Marketing stamps and a K-designs sentiment stamp. I made a frame by simply cutting out a frame from the image and mount it with 3D foam.
Okay that´s all for me...
Hugs. Birgit

Hello and good evening!

It's Friday and I hope you look forward to the weekend, I want to quickly show you this birthday card before I'll cozy up on the couch:)

Here you can see a close up of the image. The coloration is made with Copics.

I adhered it with foam for a 3D effect over Authentique papers in soft spring colors. The Heidi Swapp sentiment was stamped with StazOn Fuchsia Pink.

I think that's all for today. Happy crafting and weekend!

Hugs, Birgit

It´s Time For Easter

Hi friends!

The past week I've been super busy with work and illnesses, there has not been much time for crafting. Despite this, I managed to squeeze in a little crafting time and made this Easter card.

The stamps from Panduro was painted with watercolors and the branch was made with a Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations Holiday Greens die.

The chicken and the eggs was cut out and mounted with foam for a 3D effect.

Not so much to show you today, I thank you so much for stopping by my blog! Have  a great week!

Hugs, Birgit!

Gold Embossing

Hi everyone!

I wanted to try to emboss a little bit larger image on vellum, so I created this card where I used a Glitz stamp from the Laced with Grace set and gold embossing pouders.

The Whimsy Stamps Film Strip sentiment was stamped and embossed with Copper embossing pouder. I have used papers from Echo Park Hello Summer Paper Pads and I placed one of them behind the vellum image. I stamped the corners with a Vintage Fancy Corner stamp which also is from Whimsy Stamps. I added some bling stones and Tim Holtz Alterations Holiday greens die cuts together with a flower.

Okay, that´s all for me today...wishing you all a nice day:)

Now I'll go out and enjoy the spring sunshine....

Hugs, Birgit
