Mini Monday, for the love of small cards

 Morning and hello! 

Happy new Monday to you! I am starting the week with one of the most loved things in my life, snowmen! Yep, I know we're at the end of March and I keep moving on with my winter cards. It is so much fun to make winter and Christmas cards. My favourite things in paper crafting. This image is as most of the time when I make things with my stamps, an image from hÄnglar and Wings. The size of the card is an A7.

I believe this sweet heat was a freebee with one of the first advent calendars hÄnglar and Wings did. I have used this sweetie fairly often for my creations to my pen pals. I can be variated in colours and look totally different that way, I have also used some left overs from scrap papers drawer. It is always wonderful to use something up instead of throwing it away.

Have a great week!

Love n hugs

Flower Friday for the first time this year!

Morning and hello all crafting friends!

Hope you had a good week and will have an even better weekend coming your way! Today do I have a card with flowers to show you. First time this year and I am so happy to be able to show it to you. 

I believe the image is from Power Poppy, but I am not totally sure. What I am sure of is that the image is stunning and I love it. I had a bit of a trouble finding a good mix of pink markers. If you have any tip any at all of a good looking pink combo, feel free to share it with me. 

The designer papers are from Maja Design and the paper pad called Mum's garden. It's an amazing set of designer papers in pink, green and some lilac to that as well. I have enjoyed making this card. The Numbers are from a set of dies from my stash. Nice and elegant, don't you think? Paper flowers is from my stash and the boarder die is a very old one from Martha Stewart that I still love using from time to time.

Hope I have given you some inspiration to spend a little time crafting today!

Another Mini Monday

Morning and hello!

Here comes another one of my tiny cards that I have created with left over scrap paper and smaller stamps. It is a labour of love making these small cards. And they make me feel good about using up stuff from my stash!

 This image is a smaller version of Snögubbar, the original size are still available but not this mini version. hänglar and Wings have an amazing collection of snow men in their store. Go visit them and you will be spoiled with an amazing collection of our snowy friends. My designer papers are from an Echo Park paper pad.

Have fun creating!

Dies and / or punches over at Passion for markers

Morning and hello!

How are you doing? Hope you're having a good week so far. It's Tuesday again and time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers. Our theme this week is set to "Dies and / or punches". An easy and fun theme, kind of a favourite here at PFM.

This week are we sponsored by the lovely peeps over at Dr Digis house of stamps. They offer one lucky winner 2 (two) digital images of winners choice. Thank you for that!

 I have used of Dr Digi lovely and charming images. I don't have any energy for searching for the name of it right now. But you will find it in their store. I have had this one coloured for a long time. I have matched the old chap with designer papers from Studio Light and the paper pad is called Denim Saturdays. As our theme is dies and or punches have I used an unused die from Rox Stamps here in Sweden. I bought it ages ago for a project I had going on but at that point did I end up using the real deal for the gears. However for this card was they perfect! I also had fun using my Spectrum Noir metallic markers. I used a few colours on each gear to give them a kind of messed up look. Love how they turned out. 

Hope you can find a little inspiration from my card and come and play with us over at PFM. We are looking forward to see your charming creations!

Christmas Cheers 2-25

Morning and hello!
Hi there, how are you? Hope everything is going well for you and you are up for a little bit of inspiration from my side of the world. 

I have used one of my beloved hÄnglar and Wing stamps. This one is from the set called Konstflyg. Isn't she charming? I love this stamp set, almost as much as I love all the lovely snow men from hÄnglar and Wings stamps. 

I was in the mood for some odd Christmas colours and here it is. The designer papers are from Simple Stories. It's a fun and charming paper pad, all going in pink and petrol and grey. It's playful and fun and makes me happy! I have not used much extra on this card as the designer papers are pretty busy. Some gemstones and a wood shaped angel is all that I had added to the mix. 

Hope you find some inspiration from my little creation!

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Mini Monday 2025

Morning and hello!

It's time to show off a card, just for the fun of it. It's one of my mini cards that I show this time. I bring together some left over pieces to make some smaller cards, like this one. 

 I know that it's not Monday today, but I have not made many cards lately. And I have a collection of small cards that I have not shown yet. 

This one is a sweet one with some spring papers. Do something with you leftovers. It feels great to use it up the last pieces!

Embellish it over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

It's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week am I hosting the challenge. I have chosen the theme of "Embellish it!" It should be nice and easy for you to play along with. 

Our sponsor this week is Di's Digi stamp which offers one lucky winner  a voucher worth £6. How nice isn't that?

When Di is sponsoring us are we allowed to use other brands of stamps and that have I done this week. I had planned to use one of Di's images but my fingers isn't working, again. Instead did I had to use a card that I already had made for the fun of it. Sometimes does things work out with a bit of luck! 

I have used a stamp set from hÄnglar and Wings, called Anemoner. It's a lovely set that you can play around with for different looks. 

I have coloured with my Promarkers and was in the mood for blue today. It's a dull day with lots of fog. And I have tons of pain both in my legs, neck and fingers and hands From -8 degrees to +8 degrees during two days gives pain from h--l.

I have used a charming die from my stash. I have used it as a back drop to my fussy cut flowers. To embellish the card have I used some gem stones and butterflies for added texture and interests to the card. 

Hope you like it and that you find some inspiration from it. I look forward to visit you all during the week!

Just for fun 2-25

Morning and hello!

Hi and welcome back to my little corner of the world. Today am I showing you a card made with my dear old BILDMÅLARNA stamps. I have a huge collection with these stamps but I have not been using them in a long time. There is always so many new images to work with. So little time, so much fun to do. 

I have not any idea what this image is called, but she is really sweet, don't you think. For some reason have I not used this one before. Now I have and there is even more of these stamps to work with. I think I will bring a few more of them to use. I am not really sure what paper pad I have used for this card but it might be a Bo Bunny or maybe a Prima paper pad. It's old and I am glad that I got some of it used up. 

The flowers and the butterfly together with my gemstones adds detail and interest to the card. I have also used some die cut leaves. It was fun to make a card and I had fun doing it. 

Take good care and take time to do something you love!

Love n hugs

Pink and or red over at Passion for Markers

Hi and hello!

It's a new week and time for a new challenge over at PFM again. This time are we enjoying the theme of "RED and or PINK". Nice and easy to work with isn't it?

We have Sheep ski Design than offers one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice. Thank you so much for that!

Before I write anything more will I apologize for the horrible photo of my card today. I have very little energy at this point and just getting a card made is a victory for me . Hurray for me! The card is actually more warm grey and pinkish with red than shows up here on the picture.

The sweet image is called "Little heart" and you find it our sponsors store. I dug out am old paper pad from my stash it's called Made with love and is from Simply Creative.  

 Aa I am low on energy is my card really simple, but it felt really good to be able to get a card done. It was a while ago since I managed to do so. I have used some pearls that is heart shaped do decorate the corners of the card, a bow and I used a paper punch for one of my paper panels to give some texture and interest to the card. 

Well, sweet and short today! I wish you a lovely week and do take some time to do what you love!

Mini Monday 3-25, for the fun of creating

Morning and hello!

Here is a little different card from me, a mini card without Christmas or winter theme. :) This image is from Bugaboo stamps if I remember correctly and I have used tons of layers of the image to give it a different hight and texture. 

 The designer paper is from Echo park and is a left over piece from a nearly finished paper pad. It feels so good to be able to use up even tiny pieces of paper scraps. A tiny bow is also added together with some enamel dots to that. A little charming card!

Mini Monday again, second time this year

Morning and hello!

Yet another Mini Monday card from my collection of cards that I have made for my pen pals. It's only a few more that have not been showed from this collection with mice images from Lawn Fawn. 

The card have been fun to make and I have some ideas for some other designs with these creatures. They are so sweet! It's great to have these tiny images and have them creating different sceneries. The snowflake paper is also from Lawn Fawn. 

Hope you find some inspiration from my tiny creation (10,0 x 7,5 cm). They are perfect to send together with a letter. 

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Morning and hello!

Hi! I am back again with a card made just for the pure joy of creating. I have had fun colouring this charming image from, yes you guest it, hÄnglar and Wings. Isn't it cute?

The image is called Nya Busfrön and you find it in the hÄnglar and wings store. I truly enjoyed colouring this image with my promarkers. I have paired it up with some designer papers from Carta Bella (maybe Echo Park). 

I have also used some corrugated cardstock as a detail in the card and it add some dimension to the card as well. Tons of paper flowers is also used on the card together with some white Nuvo drops.  Hope you find some inspiration from my card and take some time to create something today.

Love n hugs

It's time for a new Mini Monday again

Morning and hello!

Hope you're having a good start of the new week? I'm having a slow day as my body have started to ache once again. These strange changes in the weather doesn't suit me at all. I had looked forward to a bit colder weather as it after all, is winter. In cold weather do I feel better. 

Maybe that's why I love my snowmen? Here is a the smaller version of Snögubbar, from hÄnglar and wings. I have coloured in soft colours in grey, blue and green. I just love these colours together. They are relaxing together. I have used left over papers from a paper pad from Echo Park. Have also used some Nuvo drops to decorate the corners of the card. I used some glittery drops for this card. 

Take care and have a great day! 

Love n hugs

Christmas Cheers 1-25

 Morning and hello!

Hi there! I have a new Christmas card to show you today. Yes I know, it's mid January and tons of time before Christmas is here again. if you have followed me for a while do you also know that I totally adore making Christmas Cards. It's my favourite cards to create. Just can't get enough of making them. 

For this card have I used one of my favourite images from hÄnglar and Wings. The stamp set is called Snögubbar, but I think this is the smaller version that I can't find in their store right now. hÄnglar and wings have a fantastic collection of these lovely snow people, so head over to their store and have a look. You will have a great time there!

I have used a paper pad from Maja Design once again, but I can't remember which one it is, may be Woodland  Christmas.  Some circular dies have I also used to make the image a bit bigger and to add some more contrast. I love the die with the small holes in the the scallops. Gives an extra dimension to the card. I have also used a border die from Lawn Fawn, There is so many lovely dies out there. And for me is it the clean ones without too much details that I enjoy the most. I have also been digging in my old stash and used up some heart shaped gem stones and a snowflake charm and some ribbon from my stash together with some paper roses.

Hope you like what you see and you find a little inspiration from it.
Take care and do something that makes you happy! 

Love n hugs

For the girls over at Passion for Markers

 Morning and hello!

Finally getting this post up. You are all invited to join us over at PFM and our weekly challenge "FOR THE GIRLS", a nice and fun challenge that is easy to create. Time to hurry up and start creating!

our sponsor for this challenge is The Paper Shelter. They offer one lucky winner three digis of winner's choice. Thank you for that Pedro!

For my card then, have I used an image called Vintage Amy. You find here in the Paper Shelter store, ´just search the store. She is a sweet and lovely image, filled with personality. She is fun to colour and make a great image for a female card. I have coloured her with a mix of copics and spectrum Noir markers. I'm struggling with finding a good skin tone mix of markers, but one day will I get it right.

Anyway, I have used a paper pad from Maja Design, it's called Mums garden and is filled with pinks and greens. It's a lovely collection. It's very pretty. I have used a green ribbon and some paper flowers, as well as some pearls to decorate my card. Sorry about the strange photo, it became a bit harsh. Anyway, I hope that you can find some inspiration from it and come joining us for this challenge. 

All the best and don't forget to come visit us over at Passion for Markers.
