Anything goes over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

Hi there! It's time for a anniversary over at Passion for Markers and our theme for the week is

Anything goes

A lovely and nice theme for a challenge like this. I will add all our sponsors for this challenge later. It's a long list!

For my card then. I have played with my new stamps from hÄnglar and Wings, it's called Konstnärer and is a set from the pre summer kit. I love this stamp set! It's fun and charming and even more fun was that I had a paper pad that matched the images very well as it has a crafting theme. 

I have coloured with my Promarkers and matched my colouring with the paper pads. I have fuzzy cut some elements from the stamp set; the colour tubes, the brush and the color palette. The sentiment is also from the stamp set.

I have added some pearls as details and to match the black cardstock I have used to give a bold contrast and detail to match the patterned papers. I love how this turned out! The black to the bright colours and it makes me smile.

Now bring out your crafty stash and start creating for our celebration challenge! Plenty of chances to win some lovely prizes. Look forward to come and visit your blogs!

Christmas cheers in May

Morning and hello!

I am back with a new creation with Christmas card again. This one have I made with some new leftovers that I found laying around. This is an image that I have gotten from hÄnglar and Wings. It's a favourite image of mine and I can colour it over and over again. 

The designer papers are from Dove craft and Magnolia if I remember correctly. Sometimes does it work to mix brands, other times not at all. I am happy every time it works out. The sentiment is also from hÄnglar and Wings. Some die cut snowflakes are also used to decorate my card.

Do something that make you happy!

This was fun to create!

Morning and hello!

Here comes a card made for a little baby boy that is the first of a new generation in the family. As it was a while since the Christening took place am I ok with show the card. I have used a stamp set from ? Yep, you guest it! From hÄnglar and Wings. It is really great as you can use it for both boys and girls. Love that!

Inside of the card also made with the stamp set from hÄnglar and Wings. The colours of the clothes is not as bad as it looks here on the photo. Tons of fuzzy cutting, lucky for me that there wasn't that many details on the images. 

Both insides with plenty of space to write what you like to write.

The designer papers are from Maja Design and I think that it's vintage baby or something like that from Maja Design. I have not used much of the paper collection before and have plenty of papers left to play with. I don't do much inside card decorations normally but at special moments do I put a little more details to my creations. 

It was kind of fun to make this creation, a bit special. Orion is the first in a coming generation of extended family that is growing fast.

Have a great week and stay creative!

Love n hugs,

Creativity makes life a little better!

Morning and hello!'

Hi there! I have had a day when I long for the fall of some reason. The first fire of the fall, warmth to relax and feel a bit stress free, 

I have used yet another one of my hÄnglar and Wings images. I have not remembered which set this one is from for. But it's probably one of the fall images. After all, he have both a cap and a scarf on. 

I did even found a paper pad from Echo park that have a fall / autumn theme. I love the rich colours. They make me feel warm and cozy. But before I can enjoy the autumn is there a spring and a summer to enjoy. 

Do something that make you happy!

I wish you a merry Christmas

Morning and hello!

I am back with a new little creation to celebrate the coming Christmas! This image have I been playing with quite many times now. It's a free bee that I got when I bought hÄnglar and Wings christmas sets. I love this little sweet heart!

I have been colouring with my promarkers this time and it was fun to use some grey and red again. I am still looking for the matching colours in the copic world but have yet to find them, in the meantime do I play with my promarkers. Have yet to find a good skin combo as well. One day will I get there. 

The designer papers are from Maja Design, they are from an older paper pad that have lovely patterns on them. The God Jul die is from my stash and so are the paper flowers and the cute snowflake charm. I have tons of them to work with. Should really use more of them. Do you have things in your stash that you used to use all the time but now are forgotten? Charms are my oldie but goodie stuff and I should use them more often. 

Have a good day and do take some time to do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Just for fun, again!

Morning and hello!

Hi there! I have been playing again, just because I love to keep my hands busy and relax when using them. 

Once again have I played with my hÄnglar and Wings images, this one is from the set called "Till småfåglarna". It's no longer possible to buy the set but it doesn't make it less cute, does it?

I have used some designer papers from Echo park if I remember correctly. It can be a mix of different paper pads. I have played with some flowers of different kinds, both paper and some plastic or false silk flowers. I have also added some butterflies that is nail art but works perfect for card making. A die from Py hobby is also used to say congratulations. Coloured the image have I done with Promarkers. 

It was fun to make the card and be creative again. I am trying to keep myself busy even when being in pain and this is one of the best way to keep my brain busy and make me feel a bit better when it comes to my pain filled body. 

Take care and do something that you really love!

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! 

Love n hugs

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Autumn colours over at PFM

Morning and hello!

Or maybe I should say happy weekend to you all! I have not been able to write this post until today. A week filled with headache have made me move even slower than normal. Our theme is set to

Autumn Colours

We are sponsored by the lovely people over at Dies to die for. One lucky winner will get a gift voucher to spend in their store. Thank you for that!

For my card have I used a few images from hÄnglar and Wings. These images is from an older set called Flygfän. I have coloured this way back and never got around to create a card with them. Now was it time! And I am grateful that I had it waiting for me. My hands isn't my bff at the moment either.

I have used designer papers from Carta Bella. I have mixed and matched from different paper pads that I got on sale! Love a bargin, don't you? Doesn't matter if they are not the newest collections, after all they are new to me!

I have been digging in my stash again and found some good matching stuff in my stash to decorating the card. I fussy cut some pumpkins and matched them with my flowers. I have also used a bunch of golden gemstones. The small glittering dots gives the card an extra bling bling. The small bats are also fussy cut from the same stamp set as the bats. A boarder punch from crealie is also used for some details. 

Hope you have fun creating with this theme!

For my card have I yet again used an image from hÄnglar and Wings. The image is from the sweet set called Vårvinter. It's a cute set of images.  I have coloured with my promarkers this time and I have paired the image with a paper pad from Simple Stories. It is one of their winter / Christmas paper pad. I love this paper pad as I do with most of the paper collections from Simple Stories. I am still in winter mood even thou the spring flowers are starting to show

My 3, 2, 1, go! is three eyelets/tags, two clusters with stars and one piece of lace and / or image. It's your pick! I enjoyed this challenge and I hope you do to. It was fun to dig out my eyelets again and some string to that.

Mini Monday, for the love of small cards

 Morning and hello! 

Happy new Monday to you! I am starting the week with one of the most loved things in my life, snowmen! Yep, I know we're at the end of March and I keep moving on with my winter cards. It is so much fun to make winter and Christmas cards. My favourite things in paper crafting. This image is as most of the time when I make things with my stamps, an image from hÄnglar and Wings. The size of the card is an A7.

I believe this sweet heat was a freebee with one of the first advent calendars hÄnglar and Wings did. I have used this sweetie fairly often for my creations to my pen pals. I can be variated in colours and look totally different that way, I have also used some left overs from scrap papers drawer. It is always wonderful to use something up instead of throwing it away.

Have a great week!

Christmas Cheers 2-25

Morning and hello!
Hi there, how are you? Hope everything is going well for you and you are up for a little bit of inspiration from my side of the world. 

I have used one of my beloved hÄnglar and Wing stamps. This one is from the set called Konstflyg. Isn't she charming? I love this stamp set, almost as much as I love all the lovely snow men from hÄnglar and Wings stamps. 

I was in the mood for some odd Christmas colours and here it is. The designer papers are from Simple Stories. It's a fun and charming paper pad, all going in pink and petrol and grey. It's playful and fun and makes me happy! I have not used much extra on this card as the designer papers are pretty busy. Some gemstones and a wood shaped angel is all that I had added to the mix. 

Hope you find some inspiration from my little creation!

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Embellish it over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

It's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week am I hosting the challenge. I have chosen the theme of "Embellish it!" It should be nice and easy for you to play along with. 

Our sponsor this week is Di's Digi stamp which offers one lucky winner  a voucher worth £6. How nice isn't that?

When Di is sponsoring us are we allowed to use other brands of stamps and that have I done this week. I had planned to use one of Di's images but my fingers isn't working, again. Instead did I had to use a card that I already had made for the fun of it. Sometimes does things work out with a bit of luck! 

I have used a stamp set from hÄnglar and Wings, called Anemoner. It's a lovely set that you can play around with for different looks. 

I have coloured with my Promarkers and was in the mood for blue today. It's a dull day with lots of fog. And I have tons of pain both in my legs, neck and fingers and hands From -8 degrees to +8 degrees during two days gives pain from h--l.

I have used a charming die from my stash. I have used it as a back drop to my fussy cut flowers. To embellish the card have I used some gem stones and butterflies for added texture and interests to the card. 

Hope you like it and that you find some inspiration from it. I look forward to visit you all during the week!

Morning and hello!

Hi! I am back again with a card made just for the pure joy of creating. I have had fun colouring this charming image from, yes you guest it, hÄnglar and Wings. Isn't it cute?

The image is called Nya Busfrön and you find it in the hÄnglar and wings store. I truly enjoyed colouring this image with my promarkers. I have paired it up with some designer papers from Carta Bella (maybe Echo Park). 

I have also used some corrugated cardstock as a detail in the card and it add some dimension to the card as well. Tons of paper flowers is also used on the card together with some white Nuvo drops.  Hope you find some inspiration from my card and take some time to create something today.

Morning and hello!

I am back again with a card that I have made to keep me busy during a painful day. Luckly I could colour even if I was in pain. It's not often the case at this point. This is also one of my hÄnglar and Wings images. This is called Prins och Prinsessa. 

I went back to something that I used to do pretty often before, colour with only warm grey markers. This time did I use skin colours, I don't know why. I didn't do that before. But it looks fairly good together with the grey. I have used a paper pad from Carta Bella or Echo Park for this card. Some gemstones in black have been used to add a little texture and details to my card. I have also used a sentiment from hÄnglar and Wings. It means congratulations in Swedish.

I hope you like my little creation! Now is it back to Christmas creations once again. I need a few more cards in the larger size for the coming season. 

Take care and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs
