Hello friends, first of all I want to wish you a Happy Easter!

Because there will be nothing for Easter at all today in my post but something quite different.

It is the wonderful cars that are on an A4 sheet from PaperCraftScvandinavia that I have used for my card today.
And if you have them not yet, I think you should take the opportunity to get them while they still exist.

I like them not only because they are good looking cars, but also because they fit so well to both girl cards and cards for men.

The butterfly and the metal corner, I have first heat embossed with white/pink embossing powder, then I sanded it a little bit to make it get a worn look. In the middle of the butterfly I placed some pearls.

Stamp: Inkido

Paper: Inkido, Sunshine - Blue Bouquets, Craft paper, Cars A4

Accessories: Metal Corner, Metal Butterfly, Pearls, Embossing Pouder, Lace, Button, Twine and Rhinestones

Tools: Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large, Beaded Ovals and Scalloped Edge Frame

Thank-you for joining me today.

I wish everyone a wonderfully warm and creative Easter weekend!

Hugs, Birgit

Happy Spring/Easter

Hello and welcome!

I created this vintage inspired pocket card this weekend, I must say it's been a while since I made such a card.

I used some gorgeous papers and images from Pion design and the bicycle are from a sheet 3ndy papir. The edges were sanded or added with Picket Fence Crackle Paint. Just like the butterflies that were cut with a Martha Stewart punch and also got som Star Dust Stickles and Rhinestones on.

This little character I have cut out and placed in one corner where it sits and check out what's up. It got a little glossy accents on the beak.


Ribbon, lace, flowers and a pearl string were added to the card.
For the sentiment i used a Rox stamp, it was cut and embossed with one Decorated Elements and then colored with Copics and Distress Inks.

That´s about all I think.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Hugs, Birgit

Some Eggstra

Hello my friends!

Today it´s gonna be a quicky post, the weekend ahead of me and it is packed with activities.

I just wanted to show my eggs that I decorated. It turned out to be difficult to photograph them so that everyone became well at the same time. Therefore, it became quite a number instead.

what cute Easter bunnies...

Oki doki, now I just want to enter some challenges,

 and then I wish you all a very nice weekend!

Easter Is The Bright Hope Of Time.

Hi, bloggy friend! I am back today with something for the new challenge Frilly And Funkie - Favourite Vintage. I don´t know if this is the absolute style of min but it must surely be, because it is I who have done it:)

I've seen so many projects for Easter but this is the first thing I have done myself, suddenly I realized that it's actually Easter soon. So I made this tag and it´s also for Stampin Royalty and their Spring Things challenge, and Top Tip Tuesday - Easter or/and Animals.

I cut the bird and the eggs out of a paper sheet from Crafty Individuals and sanded the edges of the egg image. The sentiment and the chickens comes from last years Pion design collection, at least I think so. A number of Crafty Secrets and You Do stamps were used, feathers and some other stuffs too.

It will be more Easter projects in the coming days, this was fun.

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Birgit

Something Good Will Happen Today...

It´s Tuesday, and I have a new card to show you!

I used spring green, cream yellow and pink/lilac shades, and papers from Papirdesign.

I hope this cute fairy will transform your day into a really good day!

I made the sentiment on the computer and printed out, then I cut it with one Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three. Sponged it a little and placed under the stamped Belles´n Whistles image which is colored with Copics. The wings are also painted with Twinklings Heavenly White and Star Dust Stickles for the right look. As a magic wand she got a glittery pin.

As background I stamped notes from You Do in a rosy shade with distress ink. In the bottom I used a Crafty Individuals stamp for the word Post Card in coffee Archival Ink.

I sew up the image with the sentiment and decorated the card with things from my stash, as flowers, lace, ribbons and pearls.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful week!

Hugs, Birgit

Old-fashioned Beauties

Hello again! I´m back after my holiday.

Today I have this card with these two beautiful ladies to show you, they are so elegant.

In the corners of the image, I have painted with a bit of white acrylic paint to make it look as if it is in a photo album



I have also used this stamp called Calendar Round from Inkido, and of course papers from the new 6x6 Forever Collection, I love the shabby look.

The inside....

If you have not yet looked over at PaperCraftScandinavia and seen all the beautiful papers, flowers and lace, I think you should jump over there and take a look.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs, Birgit
