Christmas Cheer 5-22

Morning and hello!

It's already end of May and here comes my Christmas Card for May. I have used an image from Bugaboo which is no longer around. I miss them as I love to colour these images. I don't know what it's called but it is sweet and very charming isn't it?

 I have paired the image with some colourful designer papers that is really colourful. Perfect match for this lovely image. I have muted the colours a bit in the photo as it was very bright from the beginning but now is it almost dull. Oh well, it doesn't have to be perfect has it?

I wish you a lovely day and take some time to craft!

Love n hugs

Just 4 Fun 24-22

 Morning and hello!

It's time for a new card from me and this time is it one I made just for the fun of it. There is so much energy to be fond in a creative moments. I really love to use my mind to create. I have spend quite a lot of time crocheting lately but now is my left arm on a walkout. I have gotten an inflammation in the left shoulder and down to the elbow. Just as I didn't have enough pain in my body. Hope this will heal fairly quickly.

Anyway, I have used a lovely image from hÄnglar and Wings again. It's a spring image called Tulpanpojke. A very sweet image that I used a few weeks ago. That time did I make it into an Easter card, this time it's spring themed. 

I have used a paper pad from Carta Bella called Floral 4 and I focused on the green papers in the pad. I have also been in my flower stash and decorated my card with some of them. Some punched out leafs is also used to make a little more of the flower clusters. In the corners have I used some Nuvo drops in dirty bronze I think the colour is called. Anyway, I had a good time while I created this card and now is it time to get out and get some fresh air. I really need that now as I have a terrible headache again. 

Take care and be creative!

Just 4 Fun 23-22

 Morning and hello!

I am back with a second card made with the lovely hÄnglar and Wings set called Pirater. I showed my first card with this set earlier this week, and for once have I managed to make a matching card. 

I have once again used the same combo of designer papers for this creation. From Honey Bee Stamps Back to Basic and designer papers from Gummiapan in their red  and black version. I have also used up some of my pearl string for this card. I used it for corner decorations of my image. Kind of fitted with some pearls for a pirate.

I have coloured with Promarkers and Copic markers for this card as well. The border of the red panel is made with a spellbinder die if I remember correctly. Some black and white twine is used once again. 

I had a lot of fun creating this card as well. It was a fast make that gave me good energy and some time to think. I need to have my fingers working to be able to think more focused. Sounds strange? Well, it might but that works for me. :)

Short and sweet from me for today. I wish you a good day and take some time to do something that you enjoy!

Spots or/and Stripes over at PFM

Moring and hello! 

It's Tuesday again and I have a new card for our brand new challenge over at PFM. It's our birthday so both our fabby teams brings you inspiration for this challenge. Our theme is set to "Spots and or stripes". This should be a quite easy theme to follow as both spots and stripes are an easy pattern to use together with other ones. Goes well with flowers, hearts, wavy patterns etc. Nice and easy!

We have a bunch of sponsors for this challenge and you have to head over to our challenge blog to find out all the details. A big thank you to all of our sponsors!

I have once again used a mix of pattern papers. The black and white ones are from Honey Bee Stamps Back to Basic paper pad and the star paper is from Gummiapan. I love to use black and white together with red. It's a great combo in my mind. 

My image is from... hÄnglar and Wings, are you surprised? I have such big collection of their stamps by now that I have more images not used compared to the ones I have used. And there is a whole bunch of images that I would love to add to my collection in the future. This guy comes from the stamp set called Pirater. I will show the other part of the stamp set in my next post. 

I have used up a bunch of left overs for this card and that kind of made my design. I have coloured my image with Copic markers and some Promarkers as well. Lots of layers is used for this one. Some black and white twine from my stash and some wooden stars is also added to the mix. It was a lot of fun to create this card. Now is it your turn to create and join our fun challenge that has a bunch of prizes up for grabs as it is our Anniversary challenge.

Take some time and join the fun! For more information check out our challenge blog here.

Take care and take some time to have some fun!

Just 4 Fun 22-22, it's spring time!

Morning and hello!

I am back again with a new creation that gave me some joy to create. I have dug out another one of my beloved hÄnglar and Wings stamps. This one is also from last years spring collection. I love these stamps they are such joy to colour. And on top of that are they really cute!

I have paired this little lady up with some designer papers from Echo Park. I have also raided my stash of flowers to decorate my card together with some enamel dots. I have also used a bottle of Nuvo drops in a transparent orange colour. Some black and white twine, a butterfly charm and some die cut leafs finish my card off. 

It is a bright card with happy spring colours. It was fun to create this and get some positive energy flowing in my mind again. 

Take good care and do make sure you get some creative moments in your day!

Love n hugs

Just 4 Fun 21-22

Morning and hello!

After a more silent period from me here on the blog am I back again with a Just 4 Fun card.. I made this during Easter time but didn't have the energy to post it. It's a hÄnglar and Wings image from Last year that I have coloured up again. I love how the trousers ended up.

I have paired some Echo park papers together with Lawn Fawn papers. They matched up good when it came to colours. I had fun colouring with Copic markers as well as some Promarkers.

I dug out some flowers from my stash as well as some ribbon and then added some Nuvo drops to that. Those drops are used a lot on my cards. They are easy to use and even if they have some drying time are they nice to use.

Well, this is all from me for today. Whish you a great day and do take some time to create!

Love n hugs

Pearls or gems over at Passion for Markers

 Morning and hello!

It's Tuesday again and time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers. This week's theme is set to "Pearls or Gems". A really classic theme and I for sure have tons of pearls of different sizes and colours. I love to use them even if it has been easier to use Nuvo Drops the last year due to my painful fingers and hands. Anyway for this card have I managed to use my pearls again.

Our sponsor this week. is Stampers Delight which is offering a lucky winner a prize of three digital images. Thank you so much for that!

And now to my card creation for this week. I have used a really old image from the same artist that I have made a few cross stitch kits of. I love the charming look of these images. Sweet and very charming! I didn't have to make so much colouring either. Still have trouble with using my hands for longer periods of time.

Anyway, I got this made and paired the kitten with some wonderful designer papers from Honeybee Stamps. The paper pad is called Summer Stems. I totally adore this pad. The Honeybee Stamp company have some lovely stamps and paper packs that I adore, but they are hard to get here in Sweden.

I have used many layers on my card and then added a bunch of pieces of pearl string instead of loose pearls. I love the colours in this card. A deep kind of coral tones. I hope you like what you see and please do come and play with us over at Passion for Markers. We would love to visit you and leave you some love!

Take care and do take some time to create!

Love n hugs

Flowers over at Passion for Markers

 Morning and hello!

Hi! I am back again. It's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers and it is my turn to host the challenge. I decided to go with a real spring theme: "Flowers". It should be nice and easy for us all to play along with. 

Our sponsor this week is Color of Love which is offering one lucky winner 3 digis from their store. Thank you for your sponsor ship!

As I wasn't sure if I could take part in this challenge have I used an image that I already had coloured in my stash. I think it is from Power Poppy or something like that. I have coloured my sunflowers with promarkers. I had the image printed really big so it take up a lot of space on my card. So I have a used very few decorations. Two pieces of pearl string, four pearls in a little bigger size. I did also tie a little bow from light blue ribbon. My sentiment says Congratulations in Swedish. And my designer papers are from Echo Park's collection Coffee and Friends.

Well, sweet and short today as I have trouble with my joints again, but not as bad as it has been earlier. A tiny step forward!

Love n hugs

Marie
