Shop you stash over at Passion for Markers

 Morning and hello!!

Time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers. Today do we have a new challenge for you over at Passion for Markers. Our theme is set to

Shop your stash!

Our sponsor this week is Polkadoodles that offers one lucky winner 3 digital images of winners choice. Thank you for that!

For my card have I used the lovely image called Bunny rabbit with spring carrots. Isn't it cute? I adore it and had fun working with the image. I have coloured with my promarkers and it became really colourful this that is my creation for this challenge. 

The image is perfect for an Easter card or a spring birthday. I have been digging in my stash for some designer papers and found these from First edition. I didn't have the cover with the name on it but I know that it is First Edition. It's fun to use the old stash. I do it quite often as I have too much stash and don't have any place for new stash. That means if I use up the old stuff can I bring in new things. 

I have used some gemstones, an old punch and some new flowers made in fabric, I have also used some butterflies that really is nail art, but I am not kind to my nails and use the tiny decorations for cards instead. I just love them. I did also put a little lady bug on the carrot where there was one drawn. A perfect fit!

Hope you like the card and that you come and play with us. Don't forget what is from your old stash when you link the card to our challenges. My papers are at least 10 years old but yours do not have to be that old..

Look forward to come and visit your blog!

Love n hugs

Time for some Christmas cheers again

Morning and hello!

A new day to fill with creativity and fun, at least I hope so. I have been having fun playing with an old stamp from Bildmålarna that used to be around for many great years. They are as sweet as my hÄnglar and Wing stamps. I think this one was called snowman hug or something like that. Anyway, it was fun to use it again and make a card tor the coming Christmas. 

 My card is kind of a blast from the past as I have used a lot of things that I always used on my cards before. Lace, pearls, paper flowers, punches etc. This card became really cute in my little corner of the world. Love how it turned out and it have given me some new inspiration to create again. 

Hope you like what you see and do something that make you smile today!

Being creative for the fun of it!

Morning and hello!

I have been creating again! Woohoo! A card made just because I felt like it. Once again have I used a stamp from my favourite stamp company hÄnglar and Wings. I am sorry but I don't remember from what stamp set this one is, but you find it in their store. There is plenty of charming and fun images to buy and play with. There is also a few ones that are digital stamps. 

For the designer papers I have used on this card, have I put use to some scraps from other cards I have made. I think that it is a Simple stories paper pad that I have used. I have cut squares of the paper pieces and made a grid background as a base. Then have I used two bigger panels and used them as backdrops for the image. A piece of ribbon and some paper roses together with some die cut leave and butterflies that is nail art piece if someone else had bought them, for me are they perfect for card making. Some big gemstones finish my card off and I hope that you like it.

Take some time and do something that makes you happy!

Mini Monday 4-2026

 Morning and hello!

 Monday and a new mini card. This time have I used one of the small snowmen from hÄnglar and Wings. It's perfect in size for my 10 cm x 10 cm cards. I have coloured with my promarkers and kept the colours kind of mute. 

The designer papers are from Echo park even if I don't remember which one I have used. There is a whole collection that I have bought during the years. I have enough for a small store. The sentiment is also from hÄnglar & Wings. 

Anyway, have a good week and do something that makes you happy!

Add some red over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

Hi there! Team one is read to inspire you this week. Our theme is set to

Add some red

A lovely theme now when Valentine's day is right on the corner. I am not a big fan of a day like that but I like red. 

Our sponsor this week is the lovely people over at SheepSki that offers one lucky winner 3 digis of winners choice. 

For my card have I used a digistamp  called Tulip border. I have merged it together with two copies of the image and put them tight together. Big enough to get a tulip border on my A6 card. I don't make cards in this size very often, but this image called for this size. 

I have coloured with my promarkers this time and I have also used some nuvo drops on both the flowers and in my "sky". I have spread th drops over the whole card to make a feeling of a spring rain.  My butterflies are acrylic nail art pieces and I find them perfect for card decorations. I have no nails to put them on and that makes them even more perfect for card decorations. 

The designer paper behind the tulip panel os from Lawn Fawn or a company that carries similar products. 

Hope we have managed to give you some inspiration me and my teamies. Drop by our challenge blog for more inspiration and directions.

Mini Monday 3-2026

Morning and hello!

Time for a new little Christmas card made for my pen pals around the world. This one is made with tons of leftovers from a few different years of Christmas card making.

The cute mices and the snowballs are made with stamps from Lawn Fawn and so are the dies as well (of course). The trees are made with another dies. The ground with the snow is also made with dies from Lawn Fawn. The stunning sky designer paper is also from Lawn Fawn.. It's fun to make cards like this, but I hate the die cutting. Hard to get a good match and straight lines on the images.

Love n hugs

Christmas Cheers 2-2026

Morning and hello!

Here comes another little creation from me. Still making my Christmas cards. Well, I do them all year long but this one is made during the fall that passed by way to quickly. I guess this autumn is here sooner than later. I need to learn how to be here and now. 

The card is made with one of my favourite images for Christmas. I have made a few cards with the image. I have used a Simple Story paper pad for this card if I don't remember totally wrong. I have used tons of fun stuff. 

There is ribbon and a bow, a snowflake charm. some paper flowers, pearls in gold and one the snowflakes have I added some shining gemstones that is a good match on the snowflakes. 

Hope that you can find some inspiration from my little creation!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Here is another one that is made with leftovers and a small card like the project life cards that show up at most paper pads and paper packs. They are perfect for my pen pal cards that I make mostly for my Christmas cards. 

This one have no colouring involved and the only thing I have done is gluing it together and added a few nuvo drops in the corners. Perfect to make just to keep my tiny brain busy when I can't sleep and I get to use up the small pieces. 

Love n hugs

Favourite colours over at Passion for markers

Morning and hello!

It's Tuesday again and time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers. Our theme this week is set to 

Favourite Colours

Our sponsor this week is Colour of Love and they offer one lucky winner 3 digis of winners choice. Thank you for that!

For my card this week have I use an image called Rory - Time to colour the world. I have only used a part of the image and coloured with my promarkers. My favourite colours at this time is pink, blue and green. I am struggling to get away from my Christmas cards at the moment and had to find a paper pad that inspired me to create this card. Carta Bellas "Secret Garden" came to help.

The paper pad have lovely design papers with lots of lovely pink, blue and green in it and I have used only a week ago as well. Don't think that I have showed that card yet. I have paired the image with some flowers from my stash, they are fabric flowers and some lovely butterflies that are actually nail art but they are perfect when you create cards or scrapbook pages. An old button with some floss and a few pearls finish my card.

I hope you like it and that you can find some inspiration for a new creation made by you! We would love to have you playing along with us and we look forward to come and visit you over at your blog. 

Take care, have a good week and do something that makes you happy!

A tiny card for the fun of it

Morning and hello!

Hi there! I am still in a kind of Christmas mood and have lots of tiny cards that I have gotten done the last few days. 

I am like many of you having trouble to throw out small pieces that get left over from other cards. I kind of believe that I will need the smallest of pieces for another creation. Hardly never have that happened but the saved piece are perfect for my pen pal cards. This one have designer papers from Dove craft, Magnolia and some green trees that I had die cut for another creation. 

Love n hugs

Christmas cheers 1

Morning and hello!

Time for me to start off the the new year with a little creation. I am not sure if I have shared it before, if I have, please see it as a blast from the past. Otherwise, new fun inspiration. :)

The image is from my favourite brand, hÄnglar & Wings. The designer papers are from Echo park I think, maybe Carta Bella. But probably EP. The snow flakes are from my stash and is a bit fluffy. There is some gemstones on the snow flakes and some Nuvo drops in metallic black/grey colour. The little snowman is coloured with my promarkers.  It's a lovely image as most of the the h&W images. This one is one of my favourite images. Probably because I love my snowmen. It's a thing with my Christmas cards, many times is it my image on Christmas cards a sweet snowperson.

Well, this is my first for fun card of the year. I am sorry if I have shown it before.

Love n hugs

First challenge of 2026, Dies and/or punches over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

Finally time for  a new challenge year and we start it off the easy way with the theme set to 

Dies and/or punches

We are sponsored by the lovely

Paper Shelter 

and they offer one lucky winner a prise of 3 digis of winners choice.  

Thank you for that!

For my card have I used the lovely image called "Daisies on my hat". It have been one of my favourite images from the Shelter forever. It's charming and have a great attitude in my world. There is tons of other great images at the shelter so pop on over to their store. 

I have used a paper pad from Carta Bella with a bit of spring feeling to it. I believe it's called Secrete Garden.  All the paper panels are cut with dies from PY Hobby and a few die cut butterflies and a border punch from Fiskars, a real blast from the past. 

I have coloured with copic markers this time and had fun doing that process. I just need to find a good way to store my markers. Now do I have them in a mini suitcase but they are too many and it's not as easy to bring them out. 

To finish off my card have I used some pearls, paper roses, and a ribbon with a bow. I love how the card turned out and had fun making it. 

Do drop by our challenge blog and take a look at the lovely creations my teamies have done for the challenge and do join us in this easy challenge!

Love n hugs
