Christmas Cheer 8-22

Morning and hello!

A brand-new day has started, and we are already at the end of August. The kids are back in school, and routines starts to come back to life again. As good as it is to be on holiday as good is it to get back to normal again.

I have spent some time with my Christmas stash and have created a card for the coming holidays. Once again did I end up with a stamp from Hänglar and Wings. They are my happy place at this point. It has really lasted for a long time by now. 

This cutie is from the set called Pepparkakor 2020. It's a set of two bigger images, two smaller ones and some sentiments. I have paired this sweetie with some designer papers from Poland if I remember correctly. I don't have the pad close to me at this point. I love the paper in the background. Such smashing colours and an especially useful pattern to that. 

I have decorated with some doilies, some gemstones, a charm, and flowers from my stash. I am happy about how this card turned out. A big bow finishes my card off.

Okie my friends, time to finish for this time. I see you all soon again. More Christmas creations will soon come your way!

Love n hugs

Christmas over at Passion for Markers

 Morning and hello!

Another week have passed and it's time for Team 1 to share inspiration for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers. This week's theme is set to "CHRISTMAS". It's not that long before we December here again and by then at least I need to have a huge pile of cards ready. I have never enough of cards for Christmas. :)

This week are we sponsored by the lovely people over at Lili of the Valley. They offer one lucky winner four digis of winner's choice. Thank you so much for that!

For my card then, for once have I used a sponsor image. I need images that is easy to colour at this point and this little birdy one was perfect even if I printed it a little larger than I normally do. I have coloured with my promarkers and coloured very simple. After putting colours to the birds an their cracker did I dig out a very old paper pad from WRMK called silver and gold. The paper pad was a great match to the coloured image. 

I have used some ribbons to decorate the card. I used two in the same colour of green and then added a bow under the image. If I feel like it can I put a sentiment over the image later on when I know for who the card will be sent too. I have also used up some of my dots, not enamel or pearls or gems, just dots in a mat colour of red that I love. It was a great match to the paper and image. 

I look forward to come and visit your blog and see what you come up with for this challenge. I would love to get some inspiration for my Christmas cards. Take some time and create something!

Love n hugs

Just 4 Fun 25-22, A card just for the fun of it!

Hi and hello!

It has been a very quiet time on my blog this summer and spring. It have been some rough months with a death in the near family, an ill cat and an sick mum of mine. We are slowly going back to some more normal times even if it's mostly because I manage to take one day at the time, sometime hour by hour. My mum have gotten breast cancer and that was and still is a chock as we don't have it in our family before. She is doing ok and are half way trough her first treatment. There is some pain for her at this point, mainly in her joints. I believe that some of it is from the very moist weather we have now which makes me feel like crap as well.

I have been able to finish off this card that I started making way earlier and I thought I share it even if we are passed the strawberry days here in Sweden. The image is however very cute and I love the red berries. I miss them already! 10 months of waiting before they are back with it's sunny taste.

I have dug out some old designer papers from Bildmålarna which I used to love when they was around. I still miss them. I have plenty of their images and maybe I should dive into my stash of them?

Anyway, for this card have I fuzzy cut a bunch of strawberry flowers and leaves to make a frame for my little sweet strawberry person. I might put on a sentiment in the space that I left empty, but that is for the future. I managed to put a butterfly charm on the card as well and of course some fabby drops from Nuvo. The border die used is from Lawn Fawn by the way.

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Things with wings over at PFM

 Morning and hello!

I am back again with a new post for Passion for Markers. We have a new challenge up for you and the theme is set to "Things with wings". It's a nice and easy as a theme as you can come up with everything from litlle bees to birds, to angels etc. 

Our sponsor this week is Color of Love which is offering one lucky winner a price of 3 digital images of winners choice. Thank you for sponsoring us!

For my card have I used an image from hÄnglar and Wings. My image is from the set called Uti det blå. A lovely set with a fabby sentiment and some clouds to that. Just love it!

I have coloured with my promarkers and paired my image up with some designer papers from Lawn Fawn, two of their rainbow collections. 

I have kept my design very clean. My only decorations are the nuvo drops and some epoxy stickers from my stash in the shape of little stars. I did also use the fabby sentiment on the card with some masked die cutting for the sentiment.. 

I hope that you will play along with our challenge this week and I really look forward to come and visit you and see your fabby creations!

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Die and/or punches over at PFM

 Morning and hello!

Hi there! It's time for a new challenge over at PFM and this week am I hosting the challenge. I have chosen an easy theme of Dies and/or punches. I thought we should have an easy theme while the summer is here. Nothing much to think about. 

Our sponsor this week is All Dressed up which is offering one lucky winner 2 digital images. Thank you so much for that! 

For my card have I used the image Little Petal and it is from All dressed up. A sweet, lovely image to use on cards. I have coloured with my promarkes. It's a bit shaky in the colouring as I have inflammations in my finger joints. 

Anyway, I got a card done and I am glad that I managed to do that. I have used a paper pad from Carta Bella called Summer. Filled of lovely designer papers and they are in happy colours. My die cuts are from Lawn Fawn, some bees, some clouds, a sun. My punch are from Martha Stewart. I have also used a punch for my leafs together with flowers from my stash. Pearls finish my card of together with a bow in a lovely lilac colour. 

Anyway, I hope that you play along with us this week as I want tons of entries to choose from when I will pick my top 5 list for you. 

I wish you a great day and make sure that you take some time to do something just for you!

Love n hugs

Marie
