Hi everyone!

I am so super excited because I´m a Surprise Sweetie for Cupcake Inspirations today. I´ve had a wonderful time playing with this weeks color challenge.

This weeks sponsor is:  Waffle Flower

For my first card I just cut out an oval from the front panel with one of MFT´s "Inside/Out Oval" dies and backed the panel with another piece of paper, which I made with Dylusions "Leaves" stencil and some red and pink Distress inks. I then colored up my little monster with Copics and cut out, as well as the sentiments from the Your Next Stamp "Silly Monsters" set.

For my second card I started stamping with the Altenew "Beautiful Day" set on watercolor paper and then spritzed it with water so that the colors blend. I also sprinkled over some paint with a brush. Then I stamped the Gummiapan sentiment in black and cut out the "hello" twice using a Mama Elephant die and layered them a little overlapped. I finished of by adding some Glossy Accents and a few ruby red enamel dots.

Stop by the Cupcake Inspirations for the challenge details and to play along!

As always thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit

Let It Snow

Hello everyone!

Oh My, how time flies! I thought I'd catch up with this week's challenge over at Muse:ChristmasVisions before time expires. Especially now that I've finally got a penguin and used it to this card:)

Isn´t it cute! Colored with Copics and 3D snow (and some glitter). Sentiment stamp from Lawn Fawn Winter Big Scripty Words set. Ok, this was a quick post today.

Thanks for stopping by!

Surprise!

Hello there crafters!
Here´s a project I created this weekend, a card where I used one of Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs stamps on watercolor paper and a lot of Stampendous Aged Gold and Aged Silver embossing pouder.

I watercolored the whole image before I added the embossing pouders and heated in. The sentiments is from the My Favourite Things Beary Special Birthday stamp set. I finished of my card with a piece of metal chain and some pearls on the dog's collar.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Vintage Recycled Box Project

Hello there!
I have taken a couple of days' break from my card projects so today I'll share a box that I've recycled and given a whole new look.
I hope you see that it is to a man. I have used old K-Designs paper and things from my stash that I found while working with it.

The feathers is made with Spellbinders Shapeabilities dies and after some Distress ink sponging they were white heat embossed.

I love these thin metal flowers that can be bent just the way you want. They are by the way also reused after being decoration on a tea light.
Wishing all of you a happy day with lots of time to be creative!
Hugs, Birgit

For A Special Person On A Special Day

Hello there crafters!
This card is for a man who is a hunting enthusiast... 

...so I have playing around with old patterned papers with hunting motifs and a stamp from the Darkroom Door Dashing Gents collection. Since I know the man and think he's a bit old-fashioned even if he just celebrating his 30th birthday, I hope he doesn´t take offense to that image. The sentiment is from Svenska Textstämplar and the numbers was cut out with Mama Elephant dies.
That´s about it for today, thanks for stopping by!
Hugs, Birgit

Santa, I've Been Good All Year

Hi everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend with lots of crafting, as you know, it was the World Card Making Day on Saturday. I myself had not done much in that way because I have been busy with other things. This card was completed on Friday ...

...after much struggle, and this is my second attempt with Coni Longleys card over at Muse:ChristmasVisions. For a while I thought to leave "a walkover" this week.

I have used: ScrapBerry´s dotted stencil and Memory Box Truly Gifted dies that both were heat embossed with Stampendous Aged Gold embossing pouder. The bow was bent and then glued together. Tim Holtz Holiday Greens dies and K-Designs sentiment, finished of with gold sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Birgit
