Christmas Cheer 4 - 2021

 Morning and hello!

Hi how are you all doing? Hope you're having a fabby day and weekend a head of you. Spring is kind of here, at least if you check in the calendar. We are already at the end of April, how fast the time flies!

This month is my card made with a sweet Magnolia image. It's fairly new but I don't have a name for it. I have coloured with my Promarkers and have used a paper pad from Maja Design. I bought the lace die cut around December-20 and I totally love it. Here have I used two pieces of it and covered the seam with some jute trim. I have quite fun playing a bit with my mixed media inks and this card got a splash of gold on it. It went well with the other metal decorations on the card. Snowflakes from PY Hobby, some rhine stones and some golden pearls on top of that.

Hope you like my creation and it's never to early to start with your Christmas creations!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

It's time for a new creation just because it's fun and relaxing to craft! This is a stamp from Crafters Companion. I love the brilliant sentiments that comes in this set, and it's a good way to practise my stamping skills that is a bit rusty at this moment. Almost always using my digi stamps now days. 

 Here have I created a slim line card which this stamp set is perfect for. Two layers of card stock, one to stamp on and a layer behind before adding it to the card base. Then a few pearls made with a unknown brand as I have thrown them out because they don't hold their shape as good as the Nuvo Drops does. I just need some more colours of the magic drops. :) The image is stamped with ink pads from Altenew.

Well then, I hope you take the time to do some crafting today. You deserve some me-time you know!

Take care, stay safe!

Sentimental over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

It's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week have I chosen the theme and set it to "Sentimental". That simply means we want you to add a message on your creations. Shouldn't be that hard.

We are sponsored by Dis Digi stamps which offers one lucky winner a gift voucher worth $6. You can get a lovely image for that prize or maybe two...

For my card have I used an image from hÄnglar and Wings. They have a bunch of sweet images and some new ones are added to the store as well. The image is from the set called Harry och Hedvig. For this card have I used Hedvig, and paired her up with some lovely papers from Heidi Swapp called Color Fresh. I have coloured with a mixture of markers from Copics and from Promarkers. Oh, the sentiment is also from hÄnglar and Wings. 

As I was in mood for it did I use quite a lot of layers on the card. Dies from Gummiapan, Lawn Fawn, Marianne Design... Think that was all of them. I have also put some old stash to use like the butterflies and the silver stars or what I should call them. Some Nuvo Drops are also taking up some space on the card. 

Well then, time for you to jump on over to the Passion for Markers challenge blog and see what my teamies has been up to. Do play with us as you can use any alco markers or water based markers as well. 

Take care and do something you enjoy!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

I have been playing with markers and paper again, just because I never grow too old to enjoy colouring and crafting. 

 This time have I played with an image from Honeypie series. They are from Polka Doodles and are really cute. To be there is a bit too big parts to colour without details but I guess I will learn to master that if I keep practising. The hair is one of the hard places to colour for me. Still all the images are super cute and I have to give them a try. 

She is paired up with a paper pad from First Edition. I don't have the front of the pad anymore so I can't help you with the name of it. However it is really old. I thought I would try to use up some of the papers before I decide if I should keep them or not. I am not to impressed by glitter and sparkle on the papers and half of the pad has that. Anyway, creating is fun and I have had a good time creating this card. I have also used up some old prima flowers and some brads as well. A few Nuvo Drops finish this card off together with the ribbon.

Take good care and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Dies and/or punches over at the Paper Shelter

 Morning and hello!

A quick note to let you know that we have a new fun challenge over at the Paper Shelter. The theme is set to "Dies and/or punches", a classic theme when it comes to card making. :)

I am not able to take part this week as my health is really down below zero at the moment. Way too much health issues that needs to be fixed. On the good side got a month early doctors appointment for my rheumatism. Too bad that it's a non like doctor but we might get a long better this time. Keeping my fingers crossed for that. 

Any brand is welcome and playing with our brand gives you the chance of winning a gift voucher worth $30. Playing with another brand gives you the chance of winning three digis of your choice.

Do take some time to drop by the Paper Shelter challenge blog as our first of four new designers begins with this challenge. You are in for a treat. And don't forget that you can play up to three times in our challenges but one of them need to have some TPS-product on it.

Take care everyone and do something you enjoy!

Morning and hello! 

Time for me to show a new just for fun card here in my little bubble of joy. This time have I created with my hÄnglar and Wings stamps. This is from the newest set of Pure Happiness/Ren Lycka. She is coloured with a mix of markers from Promarkers, Copics and Spectrum markers. 

It looks like I have been heavy with the light on this card when taking the photo. My eyes are a bit messed up after stop taking a few of my pills. It's the same every year. But it will get better later on, in a month or two. I am also struggling with headaches at the moment and they are not fun at all.

The designer papers are from Maja Design, I am pretty sure this is Denim and Friends, the boy version. It can also be a mix of a few pads. It's Maja Design that am I sure of. :) Some ribbon, some gloss, some paint and a charm in the middle of all that is what I have used on my card. The border die used is from Lawn  Fawn.

This is all from me for today. I wish you a lovely day and keep crafting if that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Feminine over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

It's Passion for Markers day again. I hope you are ready at your craft table to start create for our new challenge which is set to "Feminine" and our sponsor this week is the lovely people over at All dressed up.

They offer one lucky winner two digis of winners choice. A nice and lovely prize! Thank you for sponsoring us!

For my card have I used the fabby image called Beret Girl. A sweet and lovely image to work with and it happened to be perfect for two birthday cards. They are made for my twin nieces. These cards are also my first real slim line cards. I find them really hard to make and since I have trouble with both eyes and shaking arms was it perfect to make the images really big to use for their cards. I have mirrored one of the images for some different look on the cards and I have also made grey the main colour for one card and pink for the other one. Same same but different. 

For some details have I die cut "grattis" (congratulations / Happy Birthday) four times for each card and glued them together for a bit of texture. I have also covered them in some glitter with a marker. I have used it for some details around the card, on the skirts and the berets. There is also few Nuvo drops in pink and black on the cards. To finish it all of have I used a small paper rose on the berets, just for a nice touch on the cards. 

Well then, this is all from me for today. I end my post here and hope that you will come and join our fun challenge. It's nice and fun and are also open for all kinds of markers. 

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Time for another spring card just for the fun of it. Here have I used a Magnolia stamp and coloured with my promarkers.

 The designer papers are from an old pack of papers that I don't have the front left. Can't remember what it's called. The border die is from Lawn Fawn and the dots are Nuvo Drops. It was a nice and relaxing project to make, even if it's very simple. There is some glitter added to the tulips as an extra bling touch to the card.

Sorry this is a really short post, but that is how it is from time to time. I am off to a doctor's appointment once again.

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

With a sentiment over at the Paper Shelter

 Morning ande hello!

I am finally here with my card for this week's challenge over at the Paper Shelter. It took a bit longer than I thought, but better late than never. Our theme this week is set to "With a sentiment" so say something nice to someone with your creation this week. 

I have used an old image called The Lady. She is such lovely image and great fun to colour. This one is coloured with my copics except the face were I trust my Promarkers. I have paired this lady with some of my Maja Design papers. I think it's Vintage Basic Spring but it can be a mix as well. But all are from Maja Design. It's a fairly simple card with many layers of papers and card stock. 

For decorations have I dug into my stash of paper flowers. I am really running low on white paper roses now. The sentiment stamps are from hÄnglar and Wings and they are my fave sentiment stamps but I would need to organize them a bit for easier over lock of them. The half pearls are Nuvo Drops in Silver Lining (a lovely silver colour). I adore them but it takes 48 hours for them to dry, that do I not love at all. Maybe I should use up my ordinary half pearls from time to time. But I am happy not having to glue small things on my cards at the moment. To shaky in my hands/arms at the moment. Wish I would feel better soon. Only a week left before I am going to check my blood pressure again. It's way too high at the moment and that might cause my headaches as well. 

Oh well, time to try to take an ok photo of this card and hope it will do for now. 

Any brand is welcome and playing with our brand gives you the chance of winning a gift voucher worth $30. Playing with another brand gives you the chance of winning three digis of your choice.

Take care everyone and do something that makes you happy!

Happy Easter 2

Morning and hello!

Easter is here and that means a few extra days off from work and school. We do normally have some kind of football tournament to attend, but not this year. And it's not because of the Covid-19. PIK has injured his knees and that means free time for us. Maybe some crafting or maybe some work in the garden. 

 One thing is for sure and that is that the flowers are on the way now. All kind of spring flowers like snow drops, crocus, tulips and so on. I bought the Pure Happiness kit from hÄnglar and Wings a while a ago. This lovely image was part of the kit. 

I have paired her up with some Vintage Basic spring papers from Maja design. The design is simple with just a few Nuvo Drops and a yellow ribbon tied as a bow. I was great fun to make this card and really relaxing. The dies are from Crealies and from Lawn Fawn.

Take good care and have a Happy Easter!

Love n hugs

Happy Easter!

Morning and hello!

Happy Easter to each and everyone! I hope you have a long nice weekend planed for you and your loved ones. If you can't meet up maybe you are able to meet with zoom or some other brilliant electronic way. 

I for myself hope that we will be able to bring down the furniture for the terrace and fix it up for the summer, but it all depends on the weather. I have to wait and see I guess. 

This card is made with one of the brilliant Easter images (the Paper Shelter) from last year. It so much fun, right? I think it's brilliant. I have coloured with my Promarkers and the designer papers are from different paper packs from Lawn Fawn. There might be a piece of Echo Park paper as well on this on. Buttons and washi from my stash. 

Have fun and enjoy your Easter egg hunting!

Love n hugs

Marie
