Happy Halloween!

 Morning and hello!

It's the spooky day of 31st of October. I love to create some spooky cards every year even if I don't celebrate it at all. Actually, all the way around. I don't like it at all, and kids coming knocking on my door: do not bother. There is a code that says if you have pumpkins outside your door is it ok to knock and ask for candy, if there isn't any, don't knock. It would be nice if that would be respected and thought to the kids. And no, my own have never been allowed to trick and treat. For me is it the remembering of lost friends and family that is important. 

Still, it's mega fun to make the cards. Many images are super cute! My images are from hÄnglar and Wings. It's called Flygfän Cute ain't they?

I had fun making the card and it's quite simple. Just a few designer papers, some extra bat stamps and some gemstones to that. Nice and easy. I think the designer papers are from Echo Park or maybe Carta Bella, but probably from Echo Park. 

Hope you have a good weekend and celebration if you are into that!

Morning and helllo!

Hi I am back again with a tiny card. And use of some lovely designer papers. It's a wonderful shimmer and silver print. 

I have once again been in my stash bin with lovely left overs that I have coloured with my promarkers. The images are made with stamps from Lawn Fawn. It's fun to sit and make stuff without thinking. It's great to have some images laying around ready to be used. Try it!

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Flower Friday 8-24

Morning and hello!

Hi there and happy weekend to you all! Hope you'll have some time for crafting during the weekend. Hopefully will the weather be nice and maybe I can go out for a tiny little walk that I don't get any pain from. 

This is an easy made card where I have used a topper from LOTV. I don't remember what the pack is called but this image is or was available as a stamp and digi image. The photo is really bad for this one, but hey hoo, let's go! Some pearls, paper flowers and nuvo drops is used to add details to this card. The designer papers are from Me to you if I don't remember totally wrong.

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

Make it cute over at PFM

 Morning and hello!

Time flies and it is time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers. This time do we have the theme of "Make it Cute". So dig out all your sweet stamps and digis and make a card or two to play along with us over at PFM.

As always have Denise manage to get us a sponsor for our challenge. This week are we showing off images from RAM Stamps. Thank you for sponsoring us!

One lucky winner will get a gift voucher worth £10 to use in the store.

For my card then, have I used the lovely image called Fairy Garden pot. I have coloured with my promarkers but I probably should have used my copics for this one as the lines are so fine in the drawing. Anyway, at least I could take part in this challenge.

I have used a paper pad from Carta Bella to match up the colours of the image. To be honest is my mind set to Christmas cards at this time and I well, struggle a bit with other cards at this point. I don't know what to do with other images. Finding a
design lay out... You know the feeling?

This is what this weeks card looks like. I used some gemstones and white ribbon as well as one in the shape of daisies. That is all to it for this creation. Oh, I have used a glitter pen on some small details like the flowers and the magic flower pin in the little fairies hand.

Hope you want to playing along with us and we in the design team look forward to see what you create for this weeks challenge!

Take care and have a really good crafty week!

Hi there! It's a new week and Monday again. I have a new little card made in mini format with left over stuff from my stash.

Morning and hello!

Hi there! It's mid October and time for a new Christmas card from me. I had fun making this Christmas card in a different colour scheme than normal. It is Simple Stories that have made this playful, happy winter collection. 

 I have used a fabby image from hÄnglar and Wings. I think that it is from one of their advent calendars. It's such wonderful joy to open the calendar every advent Sunday in December.

I have played with some old stash like the wooden snowflakes, paper flowers, lace and pearls. It's great to get back to where I started a long time ago. I used to use my paper roses on every single card I made in the beginning and now is it not that often, but it happens when I have managed to carry down some roses to the basement and my bed where I mainly make my cards. Yes I know it's crazy to craft in bed but that is who I am.

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Mini Monday card

Morning and hello!

Hi there! I am here to show a little card that I made with some left over piece from my old stash!

The left overs are (probably) from a Me to You paper pad from way back in time. The butterfly is from Magnolia, Sweden and the pearls from my stash. The dies are from my stash as well, but are not used very often. But it's the first for everything. It's wonderful to be able to use up old stuff from my stash. These little mini cards are a great way to use them up. The card size is 10 cm square. Perfect to add into a little letter or in a bouquet of flowers.

Hope  you enjoy my little creation!

Morning and hello!

Hi there! I am back again with a card made with a stamp from hÄnglar and Wings. Isn't he cute? 

Morning and hello!

Hi I am here again with a card made with my hÄnglar and Wing's image called Trädgårdspåtare. It's fun and cheerful stamp set that is lovely. It's such a fabby stamp set and fun to work with. 

 I have used a lovely rectangular die for the image and the designer papers are from Simple stories once again. There is such lovely designs in Simple Stories designer papers. And the quality of the papers! Just WoW!

I have used some perfectly matched fabric flowers from my stash. It's not often there is such good colour match. Some paper flowers to that and a sentiment from hÄnglar and Wings as well. Some white Nuvo drops is also used to finish off the card with some structure. Such fun card to make!

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Anything but square over at Passion for Markers

 Morning and hello!

Hi crafty friends! It's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers. This time is our theme set to Anything that square. Time to think about some new shapes of our cards. I for one is almost every time making square cards. I am to lazy to dig out my dies to create my cards. This time have I dug out my circle dies and had fun playing with them.

Our fabby sponsor this week is none other than Lili of the Valley that offer one lucky winner 4 digital stamps of winner's choice.

I have used the cutie called Snow Cute that is/was a pleasure to colour. It was possible even if my fingers are stiff like ice cubes. It was a long time since they where working like I want them too. But as long as I can do most of the things that I want to I am ok. It's just a "tiny" bit harder some days. 

I have used a paper pad from Simple Stories. It's my favourite brand at the moment. Well it have been for quite some time now. I do just not remember the name of it. I have used some Christmas red roses and white ones as well. A rectangular die for the center piece on my easel card. A polka dotted sheer ribbon ad a finishing touch for this creation. A bit over board with the flowers but It was fun going back to the old stuff and designs. 

I hope that you will play along with us over at PFM this week and take some time to make a card in another shape than you normally do. It's a fun challenge to play along with. 

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Christmas Cheers 11-24

Morning and hello!

I have been creative again! Wohoo! It feels so good to be able to create, and that I have had some coloured images to play with. That have made it possible for me to make a card even if I can't colour. 

My card is a bit different when it comes to colours for Christmas and I just love it! The designer papers are from Simple Stories if I remember correctly and I love just about everything that Simple Stories makes. 

I have used a bunch of different die cuts in the shape of boarder dies, a frame, some snowflakes and to that have I added some pearls in different colours. Just a happy card for my Christmas collection.

Take care and do something that makes you happy!
