Morning and hello!

Here comes a card made by me using some Maja Design Papers and toppers. It is from the collection called Denim & Friends. It was a long time since I made this card. I think I made this going on the ferry between Sweden and Poland one and half year ago. 

It's quite relaxing using toppers from time to time. Just gluing and cutting. For this one have I inked all the panels with some distress ink walnut stain. I have also used some vellum as one of the layers. It's a really simple card but with many layers that makes it look really worked. Maybe I should use the design again. It's kind of nice.

Well, I hope that you take some time and craft. Do something that you enjoy and relax.

Love n hugs

Happy colours over at The Paper Shelter

Morning and hello!

I am back again. It's time for a new challenge over at the Paper Shelter. Time pass really fast doesn't it, already in the end of April. As we need some happiness in life by now when are playing with the theme of "Happy Colours" this week.

You can play along with our challenge up to three times, and one of these do you have to use a Paper Shelter image. However, you always have the chance to win over at our challenge. Playing with another brand gives you the chance to win three digis of your choise. Playing with our challenge gives you the chance of winning a gift voucher worth $30.

This is a birthday card for one of my nephews and I have used one of my favourite images from the Paper Shelter. It's called My racing car. I totally adore the look of this one. So happy and cheerful! It's coloured with my promarkers and I have used the left overs from an old paper pad from Echo Park.

The arrows are wood that I coloured with a dark marker. I added some check ribbon and some crochet string. To those did I add a motor bike charm just for the fun of it. Some letter stickers with the name and age is also used.

Well then, it's your turn to show what you have made for our challenge. I can't wait to see what you all come up with for this challenge. Just use some happy and strong colours!

Take care and do what you love!

Add a sentiment over at Passion for Promarkers

Morning and hello1

Well it should have been if I could have managed to use my hands in time. But at this moment it's a real struggle to use them. They are really unstable at the moment and just a tiny use make them all wobbly. Lucky me I have some of my cards made up already but the ones that are not will be a little less nice I think... So I will not do that anymore. ;)

Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo and they offer one lucky winner a gift voucher for their store worth $12.  They have so many super cute images so why not pop over a take a look.

For my card this week have I used the fabby image called Flower Teapot. A joy to colour and I am sure it will be even more fun to colour when I have better use of my hands. I have paired the image up with some lovely papers from Echo Park and Lawn Fawn. The EP-pad is just a few left overs and I am pretty sure it's named something with spring. This time have I used a bunch of dies to decorate the cards. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn by the way...

Take care and do join our fabby challenge this week. Just remember that you have to use your promarkers or their older cousins.

Love n hugs

Just for fun nr 7

Morning and hello!

Welcome to jet another one for just for the fun of it. I have decided to get as many cards up this year as I possible can. As I do lots more card than I have showed before. I am sorry however that I never seem to learn how to take good pictures of my cards. In a year or two maybe I have figured it all out. 

This image from Magnolia Sweden is ove of my favourite image from Magnolia. I think I have used it almost every year I have had it. It's great fun to colour it and I have done it with my promarkers collection. The designer papers are from Lawn Fawn, another favourite. This card is really light and still have a lot of patterns on it. Love how this turned out.

Anyway my friends, take some time and do something that you love and that makes you relax for a while. You deserve it!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

I am here again with a new card for no more reason than it's fun to make them. This image is from Sassy Cherryl and I really miss her fantasic images. You are missed! But at least I have a few ones to play with. I have had this one laying around for quite a time, just waiting to be come a card. 

I have used designer papers from My Favourite things. They are really stunning and have great colours on them. I love the stripes and dots. I have also used a circle that I have cut in half and used it as a designer addition. Some black pearls in the corners of the card and then a few enamle dots for some fun details. And isn't the sentiment just fab? I just love it!

Do you know what? Take some time and do something your really love like crafting, or gardening or driving your card or what else you love. You know that you deserve it, right?

Take good care and enjoy your time!

Love n hugs

Digital image over at The Paper Shelter

Morning and hello!

It's time for a new challenge again over at the Paper Shelter. It's now Easter week and since our theme this week is set to "Digital image" I thought that I should use ove of the fabby Easter images from the Paper Shelter. Isn't it a lovely with her retro style?

The lovely image is called Cute Bunny Girl. As I love making my Easter cards I now have a collection of them in my stash as I never send any. I know it's silly but we hardly doesn't celebrate it. It's normally spent taking care of the garden and trying to fix things up for the summer season. Because after Easter do the soccer season start, but how it will be now, we are not sure of due to the Covid-19. One day at the time right?

Anyway, the paper pad is a really, really old pad from Me to You that I have double up on when it was new. They will never come to an end and never go out of fashion, right? There is a few Easter egg die cuts used here, and some lovely flowers from Marianne Dies I think. I decorated the centers of the flowers with some random coloured pearls. I have also used a polka dotted ribbon for decoration. 

You can play along with our challenge up to three times, and one of these do you have to use a Paper Shelter image. However, you always have the chance to win over at our challenge. Playing with another brand gives you the chance to win three digis of your choise. Playing with our challenge gives you the chance of winning a gift voucher worth $30.

Ok then, time to let you go and craft. I hope you're doing well and have some energy to join our challenge. It's nice and easy this week with the theme of "Digital image". You can use any one you like to but we love it when you use TPS-images. 

Take care and do what you love to do.

Love n hugs

Angels over at Winter Wonderland

Hello and good morning!

Well techical it's evening now but it will be morning again. I have such bad headaches that I have trouble move earlier today, and that's why I am late. It has been this way for a few months now. It's my meds messing with me.

I have used an old paper pad from Bo Bunny for this card. It has a  bit different Christmas colours to it and for once it fitted how I coloured my image. I had made another design with other papers before but it was just not working as it should. Total crash how to speak. It's a simple card yet again with only one decoration: the web/ribbon in golden look. It picks up the card great IRL. The image is called  Glorious Angel. I have coloured with my promarkers.

Just for fun nr 5

Morning and hello!

I'm back with a card just for the fun of it. I have two big loves when it comes to card making: making Christmas cards and Easter cards. We hardly celebrate Easter but I love making those cards. Maybe a bit strange and I have a whole bunch of these cards laying around now as I never send them. Maybe one day.

This one is made with a Paper Shelter image called Easter Coast. The designer papers are from Echo Park, Happy Spring or something like that. 

I have coloured with Promarkers and decorated with some dies from a Marianne Die that is a combo die; Easter Eggs and ballons. I added some black enamle dots to mirrow the black and white  Easter eggs.

So with all this corona stuff going on, I hope you find some time to craft and think about something else. I have two kids that is hoping for a  school close down. Me and my partner not so much as the home schooling wouldn't be any fun or easy at all. My oldest isn't any fan of school and the younger stress trough everything. Let's just hope this settle soon and that the world come out a better place.

Take care and do things you enjoy!

Love n hugs

Marie
