Christmas Cheer 16-21

Morning and hello!

Another day with a new Christmas card to show. This time is my image from hÄnglar and Wings again. I know but I am really enjoying using these images. This one is coloured with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir markers. 

I have used some designer papers from Maja Design, but I don't remember which pad this is from. I have also used a border die from Magnolia again. Some green ribbon with a bow. Some wooden snow flakes and of course some flowers with a bit of white pain to give some snow feel to my card.

Hope you like what you see! Take good care and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Marie

Morning and hello!

Time for a new card from my little crafting studio. This time have I be

en playing with a new stamp from hÄnglar and Wings. It's called Solrosor and also come with a flower without the stem. It's a really lovely set of stamps. Just love them!

For this card have I chosen to make a CAS card. Playing with my homemade circle stencil, just cut out the shape with a die in thick card stock or acetate and use as you do with a bought one. Works great for simple designs. I used some distress oxide ink but can't remember what colour it is. Have been using quite a few last weeks. I really should write down what I do, shouldn't I? ;)

Anyway, some fussy cutting of the image and raised the flower part with foam dots and glued the stem straight on the card. Cut a golden frame for the image and die cut the sentiment saying "Kram" (= hugs) about two times one in golden cardstock and one in foam from my stash. A bit hard to glue together with the thin end of the sentiment but it worked out OK. Some watered down gesso is used for some white splatter.

It's the first time in a very long time I am happy with a CAS creation and I hope you like it too.

Take good care and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Use some red on your creation over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

It's Tuesday again and we have a new challenge up for you again. This time we wish to see that you use some red on your creation. 

Our sponsor this week is Di's Digi Stamps and they offer a gift voucher worth $6 for one lucky winner. Thank you for that!

For my card have I used a Magnolia stamp with Edwin as a image this time around. He is coloured with my Promarkers and a white gel pen. I have paired him up with some designer papers from Papermania called Home for Christmas.

So extra details are made with some dies, like the leaves and the lace border. Some Prima flowers, some buttons, a charm and some Nuvo drops finish the card.

I hope that you will play along with us for this lovely challenge. You know that we are open for all markers now, don't you? 

Take good care and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

oh I do like to be beside the seaside

Hi there! Finally back with a little post from MI. Still struggling with my depression and just can't wait for the fall when things normally get easier for me. A few months more...

So we have a new challenge for you over at Passion for Promarkers. This week's theme is set to "oh I do like to be beside the seaside". That means we want to see creations connected to the sea, water and beaches. I have shown a card earlier with one of the new Bildmålarna images when Mimo and Mimosa are dressed like sailors and here comes a card with little Mimosa. She is coloured with Letraset markers which you also have to use to enter our challenges. I did a use a tiny bit of a grey Prisma pen to tone down the white in the clothes.

The designer papers are also from Bildmålarna and now I have almost used up all of the papers I bought. I don't think that has happend before. And do you know what the best part is? I have not bought anymore to replace them. LoL I have used tons of flowers to decorate the card and some half pearls, you always need that. Some corrugated paper that I white washed just like I did with the first card. There is also a tiny bottle filled with sand from my favourite beach outside Kalmar, a charm, so hemp string representing the rope. The bridy tag is also from the designer papers...

I am affraid I have a bunch more of these cards, they are simular but not totally looking the same. I did a bunch of these as gifts for Philip's teachers who he has now left behind to start school in the fall. I did also make matching picnic baskets for them all, five in total so not strange that the papers are all gone by now, almost... I will show the baskets and the rest of the cards another day. As I don't get much crafting done at the moment, I spread them out a bit. Can always pretend that I am crafting as often as I used too...

Our sponsor for this challenge is Letraset with a markers set and Crafty Sentiment Designs whos offering three digis to a lucky winner. This is really a lovely challenge so please come and join us for this one. 

Love n hugs

More blooms

Morning to you all. Midweek already, how fast does the time pass by? Still in tons of pain as my knee refuses to go back to normal again. It's probably the warm moist weather that gives all the trouble for me. I hope that it will settle soon as the pain is dreadful and I get so horrible tired of the pain. Oh well, keep smiling and it will be fine, some day. Wish it was fall again. Less pain and better air, high and clear hopefully. :)

So Wednesday means a new challenge over at the Paper Shelter and this week is a bit special to us. We have managed to reach and pass the magical line of 1000 follower of our beloved challenge blog and we are so grateful for that. It's such a milestone for us all, and I am so blessed to have been on this journey from the beginning. So to celebrate this we are having a little more prizes to give away this week. We are giving someone the normal $30 gift certificate and then we have another one worth $20 to give away as well. And the best part is that these prizes are open for everyone, not only the ones playing with the TPS products. So come on and join us in our challenge this week which is "Make it bloom". It should not be so hard to join in, right? We want to see at least two flowers on your creation, may it be on the dp, the image or as decorations, we don't mind, as long as your creation is blooming.

For my card I have used the team favourite called Adorable Cowgirl. She is coloured with my trusty Letraset Family. She is paired up with some wonderful designer papers that I believe is made for this image from NitWit collections. :) So perfect for this image, and the best part is that they have another set that is going in red and blues if you feel that is a better pick for your card. But I went girly with browns and pinks for this one, as the card was made for one of my nieces on her birthday. And they are girly girls both her and her twin sister. LoL

The flowers are from Magnolia, Wild Orchid Crafts and I am Roses. So a big mixture there. The lace is also from WOC. A swirl from Prima is also used together with some pearls from Bunny Zoe's.

So the them is Make it Bloom, please do come and join us and help celebrate our big milestone over at the Paper Shelter this week.

Love n hugs
Marie

Another thank you card from the kiddie bunch

Good evening! Back again and really tired. Spent the whole day at the zoo with the kids, Mats and a friend of mine. I write this in a big blur as I am so tired that I can hardly see. Still I want to get this card posted as I have a whole bunch of them I would like it if I get them posted before the summer comes to an end. LoL

So once again a Faye Wittaker image from Joanna Sheen paired up with some lovely papers from Maja Design's Skärgårdsliv. Coloured with distress inks and one or two cat paws. It never fails, one of my cats always walk in the wet paint. Either on the pallette or directly on the coloured image that is not dry. Not much of decorations, just enough to make them a little more than just flat. LoL

I'll enter the card to the following challenges
Little Red Wagon - Inspired by the beach
Divas by Design - Red Blue and White
Crafty Sentiments Design Challenges - Summer time
Deep Ocean Challenges - Sea of love
Paper Take Weekly - Anything goes

And with this I say good night. It's a day tomorrow as well and I really need to get my sleep.

Love n hugs
Marie, really tired and really happy with this wonderful day!
