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!

Love n hugs

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!

Christmas Cheers is here again

Morning and hello!
Time to show some christmas again. Once again have I used an image from hÄnglar and Wings. I love this little cutie and I have used it many times by now. 


I have coloured with promarkers and the designer papers from Echo Park. Some dies have been used to give some details on the card. The designer papers are filled with details and tons of colours. Hope you like it and find some inspiration from my creation. 

All the best!

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. 

Love n hugs

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!

Love n hugs

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!

Love n hugs

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!

Love n hugs

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. 

Have a good week!

Love n hugs
