Christmas Cheers 9-24

Morning and hello!

The end of May is here and I am back with a new Christmas creation. Need to build my stash with more than just mini cards for Christmas. Today have I also gotten back in my digital stamp stash and found this shining star in my collection. I think I have bought it from Sugar Nellie but are not totally sure. It was a while since I coloured and printed this image. 

The designer papers are from Simple Stories and I think I have mixed two different paper pads for this one. They are fair busy, but so are Christmas. I have used lots of bling like gemstones, glitter paper for my snowflakes, a charn in the shape of a snowflake and to that a sheer ribbon with silver snowflakes on it. 

Hope you have found some inspiration to make a Christmas card or two! You know you will thank yourself when December arrives! ;)

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

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Here comes a little Christmas card in mini size! I cross stitched a bit while I had a hard time sleeping.

 This is one of them that I made. It looks a bit dull here, but the bulb is bright pinkish and the card base is pale pink. It looks lovely with a modern twist of colours.

Dig out your stash and start to stitch away, it's really relaxing!

Morning and hello!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend and hope that you will have a great time and enjoy the good weather. 

I have just replanted my pelargoniums and can't wait for them to grow big and start to bloom with all their wonderful colours. I have since a few years started to grow them from seeds and it makes such a difference in how strong they grow. At the moment is our house filled with young plants that soon will move out on our terrass and at our front door. I can't wait for that!

So while I wait for my own plants to bloom have I made a card with one of my favourite flowers. The image is from Power Poppy which have amazing digital flower images. They are amazing!

The paper pad I have used is from PinkFresh Studio. It's fairly old paper pad that have got stuck in my stash. Find the designs a bit hard to use for cards but from time to time do I find a fairly good design that works with them. Here is it in my mind a perfect match. 

The sentiment die is in three layers and comes from Gummiapan here in Sweden. The flowers are from my stash. Believe these are from Temu. The dotty things in the corners are glittery Nuvo drops.

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

Mini Monday 7-24

Morning and hello!

Monday and I have another little mini card to show off today. I have once again used one of the toppers from Maja Design and used it together with leftovers from another projects I have made. 

It's a fun way to use up little pieces and feels so good. And even the tiny toppers from the 6*6 paper pads get used. At least one set of them., there is three in each 6 * 6 paper pads from Maja Design. They are perfect to send together with letters or to put in a bouquet of flowers. 

Enjoy your day!

Flower Friday 5-24

Morning and hello!

I am back once again this lovely spring week. It have been around 20 degrees Celsius they whole week. And it's wonderful. I hope it will stay this way for a while now. Fine with rain during the nights but sun during the day would be perfect in my mind!

I have used one of the toppers from a Maja Design Paper pad together with some designer papers from the same collection to put this card together. Good with a nice and easy creativity every now and then. I also want to use the toppers from time to time and sunflowers are just lovely are they not?

Some gemstones that looks a bit wired on the photo is used for decoration together with a paper doily and a die cut border to give the card some fun details. It was great tun to make this card.

Do dig out your toppers and use them from time to time. It's a nice and easy way to get your creativity going! Give it a try!

Love n hugs

Christmas Cheers 8-24

Morning and hello!

It is Mid month again, and already middle of May. How fast is this time flying by? For real? When is it time to slow down for a while?

Anyway, I have created a little winter or Christmas card that I will use it for. It is one of my beloved hÄnglar and Wings images that have been put to use once again.

I have paired him up with patterned papers from Echo Park and one of their wonderful winter pads. As usually I don't remember which one. 

The little guy is coloured with my promarkers and then some decorations from my stash. Some Nuvo drops,two metal snowflakes as well as a ribbon bow. A border die from Lawn Fawn is also used.

Hope you like what you see. I am sorry about the strange colours that the photo have gotten, the corrugated cardboard makes it hard to get correct colours in the photo. And no, I still have not learned how to fix it in Photoshop! LoL

Have a good day and take some time to do something you love!

Love n hugs

Let it bloom over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

It's Tuesday again and time for Team one to give you a new challenge and inspiration for it. This week's theme have been picked by me and I have chosen the theme of "Let it bloom". That means a lot of flowers on your creation. They can be everywhere of any kind but it has to be more than one. Not much of blooming with only one little flowers. :)

This week are we sponsored by Hetty Claire who offer one lucky winner two digis of winner's choice. Thank you so much for that!

For this card have I used an image from our sponsor called Cat Flower Pot. I have coloured with a bunch of different markers on this image. Took what worked the best and what my fingers allowed me to use. I hate weather changes or at least do my fingers do it. 

Anyway, I have paired my image with designer papers from Flower Garden by Carta Bella. The colours in this pad is wonderful, but I wish there would have been a few more less busy patterns in the collection. It gets very busy with too many patterns of the same small size. I love the black paper with the white flowers and  I adore the butterfly paper. Yummy!

I have decorated with a few paper flowers and a lovely border from my stash. I have also used die cut letters made with one of Magnolia's lovely alphabet dies. Just love them!

Thanks for looking and I hope that you will play along with us over at Passion for Markers this week.

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Just 4 fun 11/24

Morning and hello!

Here comes another one just for the fun of it. I have used one of the cuties from hÄnglar and wings. I believe it is called Ballerina or something like that. 

I have paired her up with designer papers from Poland, don't remember the name of the paper pad. But it was a good match to the colours of the ballerina. The sentiment is mounted on a die cut from Crealies that I cut apart and mounted together again in a fitting size. Looks pretty ok in my mind.

Have a good day and do something you enjoy!

Morning and hello1

Hi! Here comes another minicard from. I have so many that I probably should post them two and two or three and three. :) This card is made with pieces from Maja Design, but I don't remember from which paper pad.

 I have decorated it very little. Just a winter ribbon with snowflakes and some nuvo drops in a dark red colour that I love dearly. 

Hope you like it and that you find some inspiration to use up your scraps!

Take care and have a good week!

Hope you like it!

Enjoy your weekend!

Christmas Cheers 6/24

Morning and hello!

Hi there! I am back with a new Christmas card. I know that it is May today, but you know me, Christmas cards is my jam! This time have I used an image from Lili of the Valley. I have paired the wonderful image with a paper pad from Poland if I am correct.

'

        

As the print on these papers are pretty bold have I not used as many layers as I normally do. But I have used a piece of corrugated cardboard as a backdrop to the image. A few paper flowers and leaves together with a bow and a charm is my decorations for the card. Hope you like it!

Take care and do something that make you happy!

Love n hugs
