Christmas Cheers 12-23

Morning and hello!

Time for another Christmas card. This is probably my last one with these cute penguins. I need to find some new inspiration to make some new Christmas cards for my pen pals. It's a mission every year to make enough cards for my dear pen pals around the world. 

 The stamps are from Lawn Fawn and the background is made with distress Oxide inks and with acrylic ink from my stash.  I have also used some dies to make the ground for the cute birdies. A few enamel dots from my stash are used to finish this one off.

Have fun and do something that makes you smile!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Hi! I am back again with a new creation, or well there was many cards made with the pretty much the same image. 

We have been celebrating our big birthdays here a few weeks ago and I made invitations for our guests. I die cut a lot of balloons from dies I had in my stash for a very long time. And let me say, it took me a while to do this with my Big Shot. I used some distress inks for the background and used a stencil from Lawn Fawn to make the sky. I have then made some balloon clusters for all the cards and then stamped my sentiment with letter stamps from hÄnglar and Wings. I have made around fifteen cards with different colored balloons. I was a labor of love to make them. And yes, the party was a success!

Hope you will find some inspiration from my creations. Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Embellish it! over at Pasion for Markers

Morning and hello!

Hi! It's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers again. And this time is our theme "Embellish it!" Such a fun theme! 

Our sponsor this week is Conie Fong who offer one lucky winner a lovely prize of three images picked by our winner! Thank you for that!

For this project have I used the image called Mailbox Gnome. It's so cute! I loved coloring this even if it was a bit detailed for my wobbly hands, but I used the copicmarkers this time and they are little bit easier to handle than my promarkers when I'm going a match ´with my hands. Anyway, I managed to color it and it made me happy. 

I have used designer papers from Echo Park and the pad is called Lumberjack Christmas or something like that. I have been looking throw my stash of ribbons and used one white and one green, red and golden in layers. I also used a Christmas tree charm and some die cuts with snowflakes and some green twigs with a bit of snow on them. Some silver gemstons on the snowflakes finish my card of. 

I hope you find some inspiration from my creation, if you need more pop on over to the Passion for Markers challenge blog and see my teamies fantastic creations!

Have a fabby day and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

 Morning and hello!

Hi! I am back again with my second card with this stamp set, that I used for my last card. I have used pretty much the same images but I have used another one of the designer papers in the paper pad with sea and sand images. 

I have on this card also drawn some birdies for extra details. Now I need to figure out what more I can use these fun images for. Any ideas?

Ok, have a great weekend and do take some time to do something that makes you happy!

Christmas Cheers 11-23

Morning and hello!

It's time for another Christmas card from me. I have used another oldie but goodie from Sugar Nellie. This is a favorite image of mine., it makes me smile every time. Wonder how many cards I can make with this stamp without getting bored?

I have had fun with my Maja Design papers for this card. I don't know from which paper pad these are but one of the newer ones. I have used a snowflake die to make some snowflakes with and fence die from Magnolia. And that is all I have used for this card together with many layers of card stock.

Have a good day and do something that makes you happy!

 Morning and hello!

Hi! Marie here again. It's Tuesday and we have a new challenge up for you over at Passion for markers. This time is it team 2´s turn to inspire you. Head on over to the blog to see what we are up to this week.

I am here on the other hand to share a little card I made the other day, just to enjoy the relaxation that being creative brings me. For this card have I used images from a stamp set that I got from a pen pal. I am guessing that it is from Temu or Shien. Anyway, I just had to make a few cards with these very charming sea gulls. They make me smile!

 

I have used designer papers from Scrap Boys I believe the brand is... The paper pad is filled with fabby sea and tropical scenery designer papers. They are a perfect match for these images. I have made a slit in the main designer papers and tuck in a designer paper that have motive that shows sand. I made them look like small island where I could place the lighthouse. I draw some birdies as well. Needed some extra details on the card.

Hope you will have a good day and do take some time to do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

 Morning and hello!

Hi! I am back today with a little creation I have made to keep me busy. I believe this image is from LOTV. I have had it colored for years to be honest and have not known what to do with it or how to use it. Even if you love your image can it sometimes be hard to get it on to a card, or another fun project.

I have paired this image up with designer papers from both Echo Park and Carta Bella. It has become a cheerful card with happy colors and a perfect card for one of my nephews. I have used a ribbon from Shien or Temu. I found this ribbon to be a charmig addition to my card making stash. I have also used some nuvo drops in white. 

My die cut letters are made with a lovely set of dies from Magnolia, Sweden. A decent price for these dies, around 140:- SKR. They will be very useful in the future. I bought three different letter die cut sets from Magnolia. Perfect size for cards and planners. I just love them!

Well, this is all for today. I wish you an enjoyable day and do take some time to do something that makes you happy. I will spend the rest of the day writing letters!

Love n hugs

Dies and or punches over at Passion for Markers

 Morning and hello!

It´s a new week and we have a new challenge up for you all over at PFM today. This is my challenge and I have chosen the easy theme of "Dies and/or Punches", which should be nice and easy for everyone. 

Our sponsor this week is SheepSki Designs. They offer our lucky winner a prize of three digis of winner´s choice. Thank you for that!

For my card today have I used the image called Poppies. They are my favorite flowers together with tulips and pelargoniums. When i fond this image was it an easy choice for me to use this image. I have colored with my promarkers this week and I have used up some leftovers from a paper pad that only have black, white, and red designer papers in it. Wish I had more designer papers in that style. Not much left of that pad now. 

As I set the theme to "Dies and/or punches" have I die cut all my card stock pieces except the biggest panels. I skipped the punches for this one, but it is still ok! :) I wanted to make a fairly strict card this week and that's why I have used only straight lines on this one. The round elements are in the patterns of the papers.

I hope that I will be busy this week with visiting all of you, so please do take part in this week's challenge!

All the best and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Marie

Morning and hello!

Hi! Friday again and I am back with a new card that I made the other day. This time have I made a card with a super cute cow image. It's a very charming image, that I at this point can't remember the brand of. Sorry about that.

I have colored with my promarkers and paired my image with designer papers from Simple Stories. The paper pad is called So happy together! Lots of lovely designer papers in wonderful colors. Just love it! I have used a piece ribbon to decorate together with some pearls, wood Weeners that is star shaped. This card was fun to make, and the result makes me smile. It ended up way better than I had imaged. Oh, I have used a punch for the horisontal border piece. 

Hope you have found some inspiration from this creation and that you take some time to create something of your own. 

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Hi! I am back again with a new creation that have made me relax and having a good time. That also ment that I had a little break from writing my beloved letters. Got many written last week and it was such a good feeling! But now was it time to spend some time with my dear images and patterned papers.

This card is made with one of my favorite images from the Paper Shelter. I don't remember the name of it but you will find it over at the paper shelter store. I have colored with my promarkers and paired it with some designer papers from Maja Design. I think that I have used the paper pad called Everyday life. 

Some flowers from my stash are used, and a die cut butterfly. pearls from my stash and a glitter pen for details on the flowers and butterfly and the sentiment from Marianne Design I think. 

Time for me to leave for today! I hope that you found some inspiration and want to make something of your own.

Love n hugs

Marie
