Okay friends, today there will be no Valentine.

No, instead I have a card for a man to show you.

I have used one of the gorgeous car images from Inkido, cut it out and placed it with dimensionals on a stamped background.

For the tree I chose one from Stampers Anonymus Tim Holtz Collection and colored it with Copics.

The notes from You Do are stamped with Old Paper Distress Ink.

A congratulations sentiment from Inkido was stamped at the bottom.

I tore the edges of the card stock and sponged them with Distress Ink.Vintage Photo and adhered it to a fantastic paper I bought on sale a couple of years ago. It looks like something between paper and leather, unfortunately, this was the last I had. Here I used Picket Fence Crackle Paint for the edges.

A ring, a little natural twine and a brad finished of my card. The inside...

Have a great Wednesday!

Hugs und smiles...

Birgit.

Queen For A Day

Hi friends, I´m posting a new card today.

The challenge this week at CR84FN is to create a project by using the colors Pink, Red and Lt. Blue, and I wanted to give it a chance.

I began my card by stamping the image from Crafty Individuals onto one Inkido Spring Time paper.

I cut her out with Spellbinders Scalloped Edge Frame and sponged the edges.

Then I used the die again in another blue Inkido paper for the frame.

I sewed them together to a CreaMotions paper.

The crown has been an old earring, I removed the pearl pendants, and bent to it.

I put the pearl pendants in the skirt instead, with yarn and tulle.

The sentiment is made on my computer and cut with one Label Ten Spellbinder.

I also stamped the clock from Vilda Stamps, cut it out and added Glossy Accents on the clock face, and glued it on my card.

The flower was created by petals I shrank with the heat gun and put together with a brad.

I added a Pin, Rhinestones, a piece of String and Joy Craft die cut leaves.

That´s about all I think.

Thanks so much for visiting - have a great week!

Hugs, Birgit.

Good To Have...

Good morning all you wonderful visitors! Nice to have you back again.

This pocket card is great to have ready if you´ve forgotten a birthday,

name day, or if you just want to make someone happy.

For this card I used Inkido Spring Time papers in 6 x 6 size, Lovely Lilies.

The edge were punched and white lace were adhered to the card.

This is a very useful "Congratulation Hugs" stamp I think.

I also used a lace tied to a bow, flower and a pearl branch.

All supplies can be found at PaperCraftScandinavia.

This green color is so fresh, and yes we all longs for the beautiful lilies of the valley.

Until then, we can enjoy this beautiful papers.

Hugs and smiles,

Birgit

Enjoy The Journey

Hi everyone!

This card was such a fun one. Someone likes Volkswagen cars, as you see.
I want the card to have a little "flower power" feeling.

The banner is made of letters cut from a sheet Prima Marketing, Printery Collection,

and a few leftover scraps from my "useful to have" box, and so little lace at the bottom.

Besides the above, I used papers from 7gypsies Collection From The Journey.

The red letters were layered with Glossy Accents, and I used a Crafty Individuals tree stamp which then were clear embossed.

The small punched flowers had a little Platinum Stickles in the middle.

The car is a charm I found at Rox Stamps that I cut off the eyelet on.

The heart symbolizes the love for the car, the nature, each other, the journey or life that rolls on.

Here's a little peek on the inside.

Hope you enjoyed this project.

Have a great week and... have fun!

Hugs, Birgit

The Beauty Of Bling

Good morning to all of you!

It is the last day of the January monthly challenge with Fluorishes Bring Back Beautiful.

And I felt to make a card with lot of bling, and just a sentiment.

It says:"I wish you many wonderful moments that will give you unforgettable memories."

I have used old papers that has been lying in the drawers for some time now.

The text from Inkido was stamped in Faded Jeans Distress Ink and clear embossed.

Just like the Sevilla Buckle die cut from Memorybox, I wanted it to be glossy.

I have used two Spellbinders for cutting the sentiment, Label six and Beaded Ovals.

All other supplies were found in my stash.

Hugs, Birgit

Singing In The Sky...Inkido

Hi, dear bloggy friends!

I´m back to share my tag I have done with the new "Spring Time" papers from PaperCraftScandinavia.

To the actual tag, I used a piece of the paper "Rosebud", and painted on both Gesso and white acrylic paint. Before it really had dried, I stamped a few times with a butterfly from Inkido and wiped with a cloth so the stamp printing became a little blurry.

I stamped on the frame too, and then I mixed white and red acrylic paint covered the stamped.

Then I put another layer of Crackle Paint over it.

The image were cut out from another sheet "Vintage Postcard", I sanded the edges to make it look a little shabby.

On the side I sewed down one piece of an old tape measuse.

The sentiment I just cut out from the paper sheets, they have such nice names.

For the bottom, I gave pink lace and a leaf, little white paint.

Okey dokey...I think that´s the most of it.

And don´t forget to stop over at Inkido to see what amazing projects my teamies have made with the new papers!

Hugs, Birgit

Love Conquers All...Inkido

Hi there!

Here are my first creation for Inkido, I am so happy to join their design team.

Since there is barely a month remaining until Valentine´s Day,

I thought about how difficult it can be too keep the love alive if you live or work in different cities / counties. Then I made this card.

In my package that I received, there was a totally wonderful lace thar I absolutely wanted to use immediately.

I have used three different stamps from Inkido, the Forever Santa and Tuva Bordeaux papers are of course from Papercraftscandinavia.

They also have cut sheets and this is where I have taken the images from different cities.

I made arrows on the computer.

I applied Glossy Accents over the France plate, and the stamped image were cut with one Nellie Snellen die. The edges got a little white acrylic paint.

I have also decorated with a flower, lace, yarn, beads, a pin and a corrugated cardboard heart.

I added a little distress Ink. and crackle paint to the heart edges.

On the inside I have used a fourth stamp.

Hope you will stop by the Inkido blog to see the wonderful projects made by my team mates.

I wish you all a nice day!

Hugs, Birgit
