Hi crafty friends! 

Can you believe it´s already Friday again? It seems like the weeks just fly away faster and faster. Our daughter and her family have just moved to a new place, it's so exciting and I have created this card to them. I hope that they have got some order among all the moving boxes.

For the image I have used a Craft Individuals stamp CI - 218 and colored it both with Distress inks and Copic pens. The motive was stamped on two papers so that I could cut the bird and heart out and mount them with foam for a 3D look. I stamped the sentiment underneath the image with a stamp from Gummiapan. I then added Glossy Accents to the heart for a shiny look, and a key that I really wanted to include. Thanks for your visit today, I wish you all a nice weekend!

Hugs, Birgit

Hello there crafters!

Today I´m sharing a card made for Sketch Saturday where I used this week's sketch, and Less is More with their OLC Geometric Shapes or Patterns. Here is what I came up with:

First, I made my own stencil with squares. Next I stamped the image and masked it before I placed my stencil over the card and sponged with blue Distress ink and splattered over with water. Then I  colored up the image with watercolors and added some Glossy Accents. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Mama Elephant-Everyday Greetings set.

I hope you enjoy my card. Thanks for dropping in today!

Hugs, Birgit

Happy Monday!

Also this week I have cobbled together a card to Muse:ChristmasVisions challenge which was not entirely easy, I must probably buy some more Snowman stamps...or snowmen in general;)

First I colored the image and background with watercolors, then I created the ski slope out of glitter paper and a Mama Elephant die. I also wanted to give it a frame which I mounted with foam. I added a sentiment from Vildastamps and finished my card with a round postmark from Crafty Individuals CI-326. 

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Have A Magical Day!

Hello there crafters!

Today I have a card to show where the image from Penny Black is so beautiful that I didn´t think it needed so much more embellishments than a few sequins.

I used my Copics to color up the "magical day" image, and I think this card would be perfect for a Birthday.

Thanks for your visit today and have a nice weekend!

Hugs, Birgit

A Simple Congrats

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Today I have a card where I wanted to try out "inlaid die" technique, if it is a technique I don´t really know, but anyway here is my attempt.

 I used two dies, the sentiment from Moa Pyssel and the Memory Box "Latchette Border" die to the inlay. Then I stamped small flowers with an old Inkido stamp and colored them with my Copics. And that´s about it I think, except that I added some gold glitter enamel dots.

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the spring friends!

Happy For You

Hello friends!

I wanted to create a card for Cupcake Inspirations, something fairly flat that could be send through the mail and I came up with this card.

I stamped with the Your Next Stamp "So Happy" set and colored the image with my Copics. I also added some Glossy Accents and Star Dust Stickles. To create the background I used the "On the Diagonal" stencil from My Favourite Things.

Take care and have a great day!

Hugs, Birgit

Light Up Thousands Of Christmas Lights

Hello there crafters!

It´s time for another Muse: ChristmasVisions challenge, this time with Maria Fischer as a Guest Muse.

Today I´ve created a OLC card with an old Reprint Christmas tree stamp, Distress inks and a stencil from ScrapBerry´s. The sentiment is from a You Do stamp set. There is not much more to say about this card, I think.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments!

Hugs, Birgit
