Christmas Cheers 3-24

Morning and hello!

It's the end of February already and I have a new Christmas card to show you all. This is a none colouring card. I have used one of the lovely toppers that Maja Design provides in their paper pads and paper packs. 

I decided to use this one to make an A6 card that I hardly never make. It was a good way to use up some left over paper pieces from another project. I don't like to throw away my expensive paper pieces. I try to use up as much as possible and smaller cards is a way to do just that. I have even started to make 10x10 cm cards for the same reason. And I have a bunch of small card bases to use up. It's a win win thing, don't you think? The gemstones and the glitter card pieces is also left overs from other projects. Felt good to make this one and I hope you like it and may be even got a little inspired?

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

I am back with another stitched card today. Another Christmas themed card I made in December for a pen pal of mine. I have also used other old stuff from my main stash of threads, aida and card bases. I am believe that I have enough to last me a lifetime. 

 I did found a bunch of peel off stickers in the huge collection of card bases, I making good use of them as well.

Now time to write a letter or two. Have a good day and do something that makes you happy!

Morning and hello!

Hi! I am back again with a little creation of mine. I found this Sugar Nellie image in my printed stash and just had to make a card with her cute face on it. I have used a paper pad from Simple Stories; Better together or something like that is it called.

I love the dark designer papers with the green addition. I have been in my flower stash again and made a classic flower arrangement on my card. I even remembered to use a charm together with the flowers. And to finish it all off did I tied a bow and added some gemstones to give some extra texture to my creation. Hope you like it! I really enjoyed this blast from the past1

Take care and do something that makes your happy!

Dies and or punches over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

It's that time again, time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers. Our theme this week is set by me and I have chosen "Dies and/or Punches". A favourite of mine but for some reason was this one a bit hard to put together.

Our sponsor this week is Dr Digis House of Stamps. They offer one lucky winner two digis from their store, your choice.

Thank you for that!

I have used the image called  Nitty Nora.  Wish I could knit but I do know how to crochet and find more joy in that yarn hobby. Knitting have never appealed to me the same way as my crochet hook. But the image was fun and I really want to learn how to knit warm socks! I had fun colouring but my photo didn't come out well. I couldn't access my accounts to do what I normally do. Took a while to get it fixed, my brother was my savour. Anyway, I have used designer papers from Maja Design, Denim Girl. And I used a die from my stash for the border which got covered a fair bit with another die cut from my stash and I wanted to add some punched details as well and ended up with butterflies from a punch from Martha Stewart. I couldn't find anything that suited better. Flowers and butterflies you know. 

I hope that I have managed to inspire you at least a bit. Come and play with us over at Passion for Markers. Just make sure that you use some die cuts or punches on your creation. Nice and easy!

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Flower Friday 2-24

Morning and hello!

Hi and hello! And all that! It's Friday again and I have another flower card to show off. I have coloured with my markers from Winsor and Newton and I have paired my card with designer papers from... well, who knows. I don't have the pad next to me when I write this.

Sorry about the strange photo by the way, I had problems with all the photos taken today. Anyway, I have used some lovely lace that I have used pretty often lately but it's so lovely that I can't help myself. Some gem stones are also added for an extra bling and detail and of course as it is me, lots of layers as well.  Some sparkle here and there on the flowers and I am pretty happy with my card.

Hopefully have I given you some inspiration and do take some time and do something you love!

Love n hugs

Mini Monday 1-24

Morning and hello!

It's Monday and I pop in with a little card that I have cross stitched and at the same time did I manage to use up some old card bases I fond in the basement. I have had them stored for ages. I had a quite long time when I stitched pretty much all the time. However when the kids were born and life got a little more busy it had to take second place. On top of that did I start to make cards and scrapbook and that took out lots of time from stitching. 

Now am I spending lots of time writing, crocheting and make cards in very unregular periods. Anyway, last December did I found joy in stitching really small motives and made them in to cards for my pen pals. And at the same time did I get to use up some scraps from my stash!

Hope you liked what you saw and that you find some kind of inspiration from it.

Love n hugs

Just 4 Fun

Morning and hello!

Hope you are having a good day today with some time to do something for yourself. I am trying to get rid of some anxiety and keep busy creating cards at the moment. Something that keep my thoughts away from a struggle that goes on at this point. I just wish for some peace and quiet, it would be really nice for a change. 

On the good side this week is that I have finished one of my doctor appointments for a while now. I have got help for my jaws and now do I have a chance of getting a better sleep thanks to a specialized dentist. Let's hope it will work out!

This is an image from hÄnglar and Wings and it shows a giant ice cream. The set is called "kulglass" and is a wonderful set of stamps with this huge sundae and the set also have a girl with a large spoon, some cheeries and some sentiment. A fabby set to play with. I had a bit of problems with photographing this card as it have sparkle on the image as well as the designer papers that I can't remember the name of. However the pad has tons of papers and I don't even know why I bought them. I don't like glitter on my designer papers. But the colours in this pad is so soft and lovely. I had to get over the glittery fact. Now do I want a warm summer day and a really good ice cream to that.

Love n hugs

Use red and/or hearts over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

It's Tuesday again and time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers. We're having a really windy day to day, well it's actually the third day with these heavy winds. It's sunny at least!

Well then, our new challenge have the theme of "Use red and/or hearts". A great theme now when we are getting closer to Valentine's day isn't it? I however is not one that celebrate that day in particular but I love hearts!

Our sponsor this week is the lovely people over at Dies to Die for. They offer one lucky winner a gift voucher worth £15. Such great prize isn't it? I wouldn't mind winning it myself.

And now to my creation for this card. I have used a digi image from hÄnglar and Wings that was a bonus image in last years advent calendar. I don't know the name or anything, but it is sweet and it have 5 hearts on it so I thought I would use it. 

She is coloured with my alco markers of different brands. A great mix of them all, but mainly promarkers. I have been digging around in the mute colour shades and got happy when I realized that I have coloured the image to match up with this paper pad from Pink Paislee Indigo and Ivy. 

I had fun using some paper roses to decorate my card. I have also used a silver charm shaped as a heart. A die cut heart is also used to decorate my card. Some pearls and Nuvo Drops in white on my lace border.

I did have fun making this card and I hope you will find some inspiration from my creation and come and play with us over at Passion for Markers. Remember the theme is Use red and/or hearts. 

Have fun creating!

Love n hugs

Marie
