I have use a mini die saying "Merry Christmas" in Swedish and I have used a small heart as a decoration on my card. Some snowflakes is also added to the card. I have also used some Nuvo drops as well. I hope that you like this little card.

Take good 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!

It's Monday again!

Morning and hello!
I know it is August and I keep showing Christmas cards. I have been making plenty of them them during the warm days of this summer. Once again are the images from Lawn Fawn.


 The star/snow designer paper are also from Lawn Fawn. Love it and they have it in many colours. My faves are the black and the white ones. I have coloured with my promakers and I have made a little snowball war scene at this card. Charming images makes the card kind of cute, don't you think? Wonderwhat new images will come out for the Christmas this year?

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!

Another mini Monday

 Morning and hello!
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.

Enjoy your week and do something that makes you happy!

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.

Take some time and do what makes you happy!

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!

Mini Monday is here again!

 Morning and hello!
I am back again with a little mini card once again. There is so many tiny card that can be made. I mainly make them for Christmas but every now and then are they with another theme. 


This card however is for Christmas. I have been using small images from Maja Design, they have images in their paper pads with is great to use for mini cards. The 12x12 designer papers have larger toppers or what I shall call them. I like how this little card turned out. Some little details are added in the form of glitter glue from Nuvo and a wood weener star to that. Hope you like what you see!

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!

Love n hugs
Marie
