Hi everyone!
Maybe I've been crazy but now I hastily made a OLC card for CAS on Sunday. I that are not even very good at CAS cards, I have a tendency to always add too much, ha ha... But now that it's done, I will post it:)

This card is made on watercolor paper with two stamps and 10 minutes.
Okay that´s all for me. Now I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!!
Hugs, Birgit

Hello crafty friends!

I hope you all had a great Christmas holiday, we enjoyed our Christmas and are now looking forward to the New Year holidays. But back to the card making and this card that I have made for a little guy who turns one year on New Year's Day.

I used a dotted embossing folder for the background and the sweet elephant was cut out with a Yvonne Creations die. I already had the little light lying on my working table so I just colored it up and added some glossy accents and glitter. I also cut out the sentiment with a die from Rox Stamps.

I´m greatful for your visit today and wishing you a Happy New Year!

Hugs, Birgit

A Card Filled With Warm Christmas Hugs

Hello and Merry Christmas week!

I´m sure all of you are as busy with holiday preparations as I´m here with me. However, it is very fun:) This is my last Christmas card for this year 2015.

I found inspiration and the template in the December issue of Papercraft Inspirations. I realy love the cool papa bear and combined him with Dixi Craft papers. The sentiment from Svenska Text Stämplar was first stamped on vellum, then heat embossed and cut out with one Joy Crafts Labels & Tags die. I also cut and punched out snowflakes that I added for a really wintry look.

Okay that´s all for me. Wishing you all a  MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hugs, Birgit

Hello there!

I'm counting down the days and projects to the big day! I took me some time to make this card with Milton from Wild Rose Studio that I want to share with you.

First I colored up the stamped image with my Copics and cut it out. Then I also used the "Cottage" die from Wild Rose Studio to create the background together with Dixi Craft papers.

I added some glossy accents, 3D snow and of course glitter to the image. The sentiment is from Inkido.

Okay.. back to the Christmas preparations to get everything ready:)

Wishing you a great Saturday, thanks for visiting!

Hugs, Birgit

Hi crafty friends!

Just a quick post this busy day. Now it´s soon time to mail off all the Christmas cards to family and friends. Maybe this is the last I have time to create before Christmas.

And it´s made for Muse:ChristmasVisions. I moved out the glitter to the edges and the red berries, instead the black ended up as twine for the tree decorations.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs, Birgit

Christmas Gift Wrapping

Happy Sunday everyone!

As I have already told you, I think it´s great fun to wrap packages and today I want to show an old tin can that I have saved and now altred up for a Christmas gift. I like to reuse things, if possible.

The nice paper around the can is from Dixi Craft and have a wonderful red color. I found the Santa image in my stash and placed it on the cap. Then I tied a ribbon/lace and twine with a clean and simple tag around the upper part.

That´s all for today. I hope you have a great weekend!

Hugs, Birgit

Let It Snow

Hi there crafters!
Still workin on with the christmas cards, it´s hard to believe that it´s only two weeks away. Today I´m sharing a card made with LeCreaDesigns 3D-dies.

I wanted a wintry backdrop in contrast to the warm and inviting fireplace so I took out the "Winter Flurry Frame" stencil from Memory Box and swiped it in with Iced Spruce Distress ink. The sentiment is from Tim Holtz "Mini Holidays" stamp set and was gold heat embossed. All die-cut details are colored with different Distress inks and then adhered with foam pads. I could not resist to add a pair of love mittens from Poppy Stamps to dry by the side of the fire. Okay that´s all for me.
Thanks to everyone for visiting my blog today, I hope you all have a nice season of Advent!
Hugs, Birgit
