Just for fun is here again

I have used some designer papers from Echo Park that is filled with happy colours. Some silk flowers are added to the design as well as some dragonflies and a heart charm. A die cut frame is also used for a decoration. A die cut border is also used to add some details.

Have a good day!

Playing with paper

Morning and hello!

Time goes fast and I have not had much time for creating. Or rather that have I not been in a creative mood when it comes to paper craft. And then all of the sudden, I wanted to create something with pens and paper again.

 The image is from LOTV. and I have had a great time playing with markers and designer papers. I have had fun matching the image with designer papers from a leftover stack of designer papers. I can maybe manage to get one more card out of what is left of those paper pads. My decorations are a ribbon in white, some paper flowers from my stash. I have also used some nail art butterflies for extra dimension to the card. Some gemstones are also added to the mix. 

Take good care and do something that makes you happy!

Another Christmas card

Morning and hello!

I am back with a new Christmas card to show you all. This is a fairly old hÄnglar and Wings image that I have had coloured for a few years. She is paired up with some designer papers from Echo Park or maybe Carta Bella.

The card have gotten some details like the Christmas tree charm, some die cut flowers, a golden heart and a ribbon bow in white and golden shades. I love how it all came together. The trees even have a snowy coat on them. Time for me to prepp some more trees for other cards. The sentiment once again says Merry Christmas in Swedish. I have used some tiny brick letters. Time to put them to use again.

Now is it time for you to have some fun and play!

Having fun with markers and paper

Morning and hello!

When searching through etsy did I found a new creator that have made this lovely flower design. I can't remember what she is called at this moment. I will try to remember... I had fun colouring the image in great colours that makes me happy. 

The designer papers are from Echo Park or Simple stories. I love how the dark blue designer paper brings everything together. The charms of butterflies ads details as do the little ladybug. I totally adore the card, probably the one I love the most of all the cards I have made this year. A pale yellow ribbon as the finishing touch to this card. Wonder who will get this card?

A little Christmas cheers

Morning and hello!

Hi there! Now are we in the middle of September and we just have a couple of months left of 2026. My favourite time of the year is coming up, Christmas! While I am waiting for the Holiday do I keep busy making Christmas cards. :)

The image is from Lili of the Valley and I totally adore this image. It's the cutest one in a long time. I had fun colouring with my promarkers and pair the image up with some Maja Design papers. 

An old punch from Martha Stewart is used on the lower panel and some die cut snowflakes decorate the card with some Nuvo drops. Love how that turned out, also the ones in the corners. A ribbon and some tiny images from Maja design finish up the details on the card. Love how it turned out. Maybe a bit too much red? Oh, well too late to fix that now. 

Take some time and play with something you love to do!

A card just for the love of creating

 Morning and hello!

Hi there! I have been playing with paper and markers again. The image is from Lili of the Valley. Love these supercut gals! They are fun to colour and play with. I managed to wash out the colours of the card for some reason. It is much more sparkly IRL. 

The designer papers are from Simple stories but I can't remember what the paper pad is called. It's a very colourful paper pad at least. The old punch from Martha Stewart have been working again. I have a big butterfly in sparkly colours and some fabric flowers is also added as details for the card. Some gemstones finish the whole thing off. Hope you like what you see and maybe get some inspiration to create something as well.

Layers over at Passion for Markers

 Morning and hello!

Marie in the house again. We have a new challenge for you over at Passion for Markers. This week's theme?

Layers

A lovely one to play with. I always have tons of layers on my creations, I should try having less of them some time, but not today.

Our sponsor is 

Clearly Besotted, offers one lucky winner a gift voucher worth £15 to one lucky winner! Thank you for that!

For my card have I use a hÄnglar and wing image from my stash. I believe it's from one of my images from last years last images. I have coloured with my promarkers for this one. I have used a paper pad from Echo Park called Fall Fever.

Sorry about the wash out colours. Me and my eye are not friends at the moment. I am having a bad period with my fibromyalgia and it goes on both hearing and sight. Very annoying. At least I got a card together. I have used golden pearls to decorate with and as well a ribbon and a bow. A little extra here and there. 

Now time for me to get back to bed and hope that I will feel better tomorrow.

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

We have time for a little Christmas Cheers

Morning and hello!

I am back with you all again. And yet again have I made a Christmas card. I have been busy creating Christmas cards during these warm days. Every now and then does it feel a little cooler when working with snowy and winter cards.

 The card is made with designer papers from Pink Fresh studio or what the brand is called. Something like that at least. She have gotten some suntan in here face, but hey ho! We are all different! :)

I have added some pearls and some lace ribbon to decorate my card. A paper rose is also added to the card. I am not sure what I feel about the paper pad... Too busy I think, anyway, I had fun creating! Take yourself some time to be creative, you know it will make you feel good!

Ribbon and/or bow over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

It's time for the last challenge of August over at Passion for Markers. This weeks theme is set to 

Ribbon and/or bows

We are sponsored by the lovely people of Uniko and they offer one free product to a lucky winner. Thank you for that!

For my creation this week have I used an image from hÄnglar and Wings for this challenge. They are sadly closing their doors in December. I will be missing them, that's for sure. Any idea of a different stamp brand that I can fall in love with?

I have paired the lovely image up with designer papers from Echo Park and the paper pad called Fall Fever. I love the rich colours that belongs to autumn are wonderful. They are so warm!

I have played with a burgundy coloured ribbon and tied a bow with it. I have also used some paper flowers, gemstones in gold finish my card off. I had great fun creating this card as I have had a short break from my paper craft and have spent most of my time crocheting my tiny little toys for kids at the hospital. I have also used a glitter pen that kind of leaked on my card. More glitter to the people!

Now take some time and play with markers and papers and ribbons and decorations and... Have fun and enjoy what you do!

I have been creating

Morning and hello!

Almost 20 days of August have passed and I am back again with a new creation. I have been playing with some old Magnolia stamps that I love. I have a thing for Ladybugs and butterflies and I have some stamps that have those little bugs in them. 

 I have given this little Tilda a fairly soft colour scheme in blue/lilac. I did actually picked the designer papers first and then coloured with them in mind. I am happy with the look I got with these products. I have been playing with an old border punch from Fiskars and the rolled flowers is cut with a flower die. I have decorated them with some stickles, pearls and some die cut leaf. Some white flower details is also added to the flower cluster. A ribbon bow is also added to the mix. 

This was really fun to make and I hope that you will take some time and do something that you really love!

I am back with another card made with some Lawn Fawn images. This card is made with the long side horizontal look. I have yet again used left overs from other creations and made a small happy winter card. 

Bits and bobs have been put together to a little scenery. I have fun playing with these little playful animals. A fun card to make even if I have made a whole bunch looking a bit like the others and still different.

It's Christmas time again!

 Morning and hello!

Here we go again! It is Christmas in my head again. And once again have I been using a hÄnglar and Wings image. The stamp set is called Luvnissar med etikett. It is a super cute stamp set and fun to play with. I have coloured with my promarkers and kind of like how the colours turned out. I have to learn how to take better photos.

The designer papers are from Maja Design, surprised? :) I have played with a border punch, some pearls, flowers and leaf dies to add details to my card. The sentiment is a also from the stamp set and I love how the sentiment add details to the card. Love how that part tuned out. Now is it your turn to play with some stamps, markers and what more you use to create your cards.

Dies and/or Punches over at PFM

 Morning and hello!

New challenge week for Team one over at Passion for Markers. This week are we playing with my theme

Dies and/or punches

A theme that I have fun playing with and I hope you do as well.

Our sponsor this week is Colour of Love. And the prize is set to 3 digital images of winner's choice. Thank you for that.

I have been using a sponsor image called Eleanor & Pickles country fair treats. I have cut off a lot of the image as I have trouble with the small details. That means that Elanor's friend isn't show on my card. He is a little froggy, her little friend.

I have coloured with my promarkers this time. I didn't have the energy to take out my copics. I have no clue how to store them and have easy access to them. It doesn't help that I do almost all colouring in bed.

I have played with many dies and one punch. The butterflies are made with a butterfly punch from Martha Stewart. The dies I have played with is a rolled up rose die, some leaves to that, Spellbinders have helped me with the image and it's fram, the border die is also from Spellbinders. The border dies get used quite often as I normally precut what I use fairly often.

Anyway, I hope that you will come and play with us over at Passion for Markers. It's a nice and fun theme and easy to play along with. Don't forget that you have to use markers to colour your image. 

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

A card because it's fun to colour

Morning and hello!

I am back and surprise! It's not a Christmas card! :) I have been making many of them lately and I have fun making them, I have always loved making Christmas cards, best time of the year and having it all year around, can't be any better than that. :)

I have been playing with a really old stamp from my stash. It is a Sugar Nellie stamp that I have had for probably 10 years or so. I used to play with their stamps all the time and when I found them in my stash again, it was great fun to find the stamps again. I know that I played with some of their Christmas stamps last year. 

I don't remember what this one is called but I had fun playing with little Miss Sunflower. I have been in my leftover bag once again and managed to get this card made. It's a bit busy but every now and then can I stand that feeling! The thick lines in the image cools all the patterned down a bit.

Now is it up to you, get busy creating!

First mini Monday of August

Morning and hello!

I am back in the house and want to show you a mini card for you. I know that it will look pretty much like many of the small cards I have shown before. 

But as I use the same images does it look pretty much the same even if I have variations of the cards. I have some images left but we'll see if I will use them or not. I have used a mix of stamps from Lawn Fawn and some no name trees from my stash. I love how charming the card looks just because of the little snowman, he makes the whole card in my mind!

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

It's Christmas time again!

 Morning and hello!

I am back again, and this time a Christmas card! It is July and I have made 6 Christmas cards this month. Totally crazy but they are my fave to make. Using snow and winter images were tried to make me feel cooler during the heat waves that have been on visits lately. 

I don't feel very well in the heat and high temperatures. Me and my Maine coon Hilde have been living in the basement where it is cooler. During the warmest days have we been without any cooling system as we have bought new heating and cooling pumps but they were not installed during the first heat wave. It was horrible!

For this card have I used an image from hÄnglar and Wings. I don't remember what it's called but it is cute, right? There is so many happy and sweet images for winter and Christmas in the hÄnglar and Wing shop. I have paired the image up with designer papers from Maja Design. Found some mushrooms in my stash and put them into my flower cluster. A wood weener, some pearls, lace and a charm finish the whole thing off. Hope you like what you see!

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