Christmas cheers is here again!

Morning and hello!

You know that I love making Christmas cards and now have I been at it again. I have once again been playing with my fabby stamos from hÄnglar and Wings. Just can't help myself.

This little friend is from an older set that I love. It's fun to colour and relaxes me to play with images I know well. just like this one, a favourite in other words. 

 

 The designer papers are from either Echo Park or Simple Stories. I have mixed up some of my paper pads and lost the front of them but they work anyway, right? I have also been digging in my flower stash and used some paper roses and a ribbon. Some nuvo drops have also been used. A finishing touch with snowflakes spread around the card.

Hope you find some inspiration from my creation!

Dies and/or punches over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

It's Tuesday and time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers. This week do we have our theme set to

Dies and / or Punches

A fun and easy challenge to play along with.

Our sponsor this week is RAM stamps. One lucky winner will have the chance to win a £10 voucher to spend in the store. 

Thank you for that!

I have managed to use an older image from RAMs cute images. I am sorry but I don't remember the name of it. But it is cute, isn't it? I have used my classic ovals and scalloped ovals from Spellbinders. An old punch from Fiskars for the border and a mix of different flower dies and leaf dies that I don't know the name of. 

Sorry about the photo. I have a new phone and have yet to figure it out. However, I did get a photo at least. I have used designer papers from Echo park and Carta Bella in big mix. It's leftover papers from a bunch of spring paper pads, that only have some papers and cut offs that I can use. They will go in the trash when my spring creations are done for this year. 

I love the rolled flowers. A new favourite of mine. Had some other little flower stuff that I have used from my stash, the love for little details and all that.

Have fun creating something that you can play along with our challenge with. Would be great to see what you create. We look forward to visit your blogs!

A little card for my pals

Morning and hello!

I have used a mix and match of left overs and some small pieces from a paper pad from Echo park. No colouring just glueing and mix and matching. 

Some nuvo drops and nothing more is used to create this card. Sometimes is the simple things just what you need to relax a bit and let the thoughts passing by in my little brain. It's a good way for me to relax and make it easier to sleep.

Take some time to be creative and have fun!

For the love of creating!

Morning and hello!

Hope you are having a lovely week. I have spent some time in my studio playing with some markers and paper and this is the result of an hour of fun. I have played with my favourite stamp brand and paired it up with another Swedish brand, Maja Design. 

I believe that this paper pad from Maja Design is called Hygge or something like that. it's a paper pad with fairly much browns and some blues. I have fun making my own paper flowers and used some wooden stars. Have also used a die saying congratulations in swedish. I love the text dies that have a back drop which makes it possible to change the look of the sentiment. 

Time for me to play with a crochet hook and some yarn again. Take some time to do something that makes you happy!

Time for a small card again

Morning and hello!

Time to show a little card again. This one is made with an older set from Lawn Fawn. I have used an old paper pad that I have used as the sky. 

Some trees are made with a die from my stash. Some little dots of nuvo drops add details to the little card. I have used some dies to make the ground for the snow ball fight. It was fun to make this little card.

Make it bloom over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

Time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week's theme is set to

Make it Bloom

Our sponsor is the lovely All dressed up which offers one lucky winner two digital images of winners' choice. Thank you for that! 

For my card have I used an image called Jam Jars and it's a lovely image to colour and play for. It is also easy to split the three jars and only use one part of the image. I decided to use all three of them for this card. I had fun colouring the flowers. I have used my promarkers for this image. 

I have used designer papers from a bag filled with designer papers that is left from a couple of paper pads that have spring as a theme. The papers left has a lot of pattern on them which make them hard to use for me. At least I got this card together with the leftovers. This will be the last spring I use them, what is left when spring is over will be thrown away. Can't save it all, but God it's hard to throw them out. Do you find it hard to throw out stuff that you know it will be hard to use and you still can't throw them out?

I have used some gemstones and pearls to decorate the card. Some in the flower centers and in the corners of the card. A ribbon and a bow is also added together with a charm and some paper flowers. 

It have been fun to make the card and I hope that you will join us over at Passion for Markers and play along with us. Looking forward to see your creations.

Mini Monday again

Morning and hello!

Another little card with some Lawn Fawn stamps. I love them to bits! I have mixed two Lawn Fawn sets and some no name tree dies. I love the designer paper that I have used for the sky and it is from Lawn Fawn as well. 

Some nuvo drops have been used as snow and I had fun making this little creation. I have a bit of collection now. That is good as I have tons of pen pals that I want to wish a lovely Christmas and a happy New Year!

Take some time and be creative!

Christmas Cheers for the first time in March

Morning!
 I know that spring is almost here again and I am making christmas cards and I love it! I have dug out an old stamp from Sugarnellie and I love this sweet santa with an old feeling to him. It's really sweet don't you think?

I have dug out some of my Maja design papers to give him a great company of lovely designer papers. I have also used some of my old magnolia dies like the trees that I have added snow and glitter too. Some paper roses and some stars of different kind goes as a snow feeling to the card. The sentiment is from Nellie Snellen I think. Now is it time to see if spring is here soon. 

Have a good week and be creative!

A new little mini creation 8-26

Morning and hello!

A new week and a new mini creation. I'm happy to be able to play with some of my cute Lawn Fawn stamps. I totally adore the mice stamps they have. I have a whole village of them by now. I really should be using them a lot more than I do. I have plenty of them just laying around and have never been used. 

This set of stamps was new for 2025 and they make me smile when I see them. Too bad that I don't have much fantasy to build sceneries. I should be trying to do more of that. Still this is a really small card and some kind of scenery is made on this one, I think...

Have a great week!

Lots of layers over at Passion for markers

Morning and hello!

Sorry for my late posting of this card. My head have had it's own painful life for a while. 

Anyway, this is my card for our current challenge over at Passion for Markers. Our theme is set to 

Lots of layers

and that is what we want to see on your creations. I love having tons of layers on my creations. But I always trim away some of the card stock that isn't shown. Keeps the postage lower. 

Our sponsor this week is Dies to die for and they will award our lucky winner a gift voucher to spend in their store. Thank you for that!

 The image I have used is from Power Poppy if I remember correctly. It's an image that I dig out every now and then and their fantastic flower images is to die for. I found a Simple Stories paper pad with lots of lilacs in it that goes well with my lavender pot. It's nice when things comes together just like that. 

Do pop on over to Passion for Markers and see what my amazing teamies have been up to. Lots of great inspiration to find on the challenge blog. 

Take care and take some time to do something that makes you happy!

Mini Monday 7-26

Morning and hello!

Hi, how are you? Hope that you have a lovely day and that your week will be a good one. I have been at it again and played with leftovers from other fun creations I have made earlier.  Once again have I used a snowman from hÄnglar and Wings, this week is it the lady version in mini size. 

I have also used some mini snowflakes made with some dies and there is also some other dies used for some details that isn't adding and bulk to the card. Nuvo drops have been used on this one for some glitter and snow feel to it all. Hope you like my little creation and find some inspiration from it.

Time for some Christmas cheers

Morning and hello!

End of the month and time for some new Christmas cheers. This time have I used one of the lovely hÄnglar stamps from the set called 3 klappar. Three lovely images in three sizes.

I have used some really old designer papers that was a free bee from a scrapbooking magazine from ages ago. Fun to be able to use some old stash. I have also used some die cuts and some flowers to that. To finish it off have I used a wood sentiment that I have covered in glitter from nuvo drops. Some pearls from my stash and a gemstone shaped as a heart. All finished off with a little ribbon bow. A fun card to make. Hope you find some inspiration in my little creation.

Have a great day!

Mini inspiration 6-26

 Morning and hello!
I am here again with one of my mini cards. This time have I used one of the smaller stamps from hÄnglar and wings. It's one of the snowmen that also have a smaller size and a big brother how to speak. I am so in love with the snowmen from this brand of stamps. Well, I love most of the snowmen stamps that I have. 

The designer papers are left overs from a Simple Stories paper pad. A few die cuts together with pearls and some sparkling stars to that. A fun card to make and it feels so good being able to use up some of all the scraps that comes from other creations. 

Thanks for watching!

A little creation for the fun of it!

Morning and hello!

A card that is totally off season that's for sure. I was in mood for some warmth and sun and that made me make a summer card. The image is once again from hÄnglar and Wings. 

The designer papers are from Simple Stories. I still wonder why I bought that pad. It's one of very few that I don't like at all. It's totally crazy that I still couldn't resist to ad it to my stash. Now I have to use it and find away to make it look ok at least. Anyway, I have use some Magnolia, Sweden dies for this card and I have used two charms, a star and an anchor. It is working pretty well for this card and my stash of charms is down two items. I have so many of them that I could use one on each card I make for a whole year and still have tons left. Time to be creative with them. 

Anyway, it was nice to be creative and have fun with markers, stamps and papers again. And hopefully will you find some inspiration from my card.

All the best!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
