Flower Friday

 Morning and hello!

Sitting in my bed watching the rail fall down outside my window. Have Riuben, the cat next to me. He is slowly purring next to me. It's cozy to have him so close even if it gets really warm. 

I have played around with an old image from a brand that I can't remember on top of my head. But I have used it a lot during the years. It's a go to image for me. It helps me getting back to colouring and creating as it is a great one to warm up with when it comes to my markers. 

I have paired the image with an old paper pad that I can't remember the name of either. Hmm, I have not used much of it but I get happy every time I manage to do some stash busting. The thing is that it take longer time for me to find what I want to use compared to how long time it takes to prep the image and decide what I want to do. I really should contact all crafting stores and forbid them to sell anything at all to me. Well, maybe glue and double sided tape.  and card stock  but that is all. My craft room and letter writing space is over loaded with stuff. It's so much that it would almost feel better starting over without all the stash that I have around. 

Have a good weekend and take some time to do what makes you happy.

Morning and hello!

Hi there! I took inspiration from the lovely weather we had today and made a flower card for once. It is nice to get away from the Christmas and winter here and there. 

I don't know who have made this lovely image. I have had it printed for a long time in my stash. I am not sure from where the designer papers is either. 

I used some fabric flowers from my stash together with a piece of lace. I also added some gemstones together with some black nuvo drops as a little texture to the card. 

Hope you find a little inspiration from my creation!

Have a lovely crafty weekend!

Morning and hello!

I am here again with a flower card that I made recently. I had fun with this lovely tulip image. I love to colour this image and it's a blast every time. of course do I not remember it is who have made it. It's an old one as well as the designer papers. 

The designer papers are from Me to You if I am not totally wrong. It is a good match to the bright pink that I used for my tulips. A border made with a punch from my stash is used to add some details. I have also used some silver lined nuvo drops to add some extra details. I also have used a sentiment from hÄnglar and Wings. It looks great together, even managed to make it double matted this time. I hope you like my creation and find some inspiration to make a card or two with your old stash. It's like having new stash after a few years! LoL

Morning and hello!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend and hope that you will have a great time and enjoy the good weather. 

I have just replanted my pelargoniums and can't wait for them to grow big and start to bloom with all their wonderful colours. I have since a few years started to grow them from seeds and it makes such a difference in how strong they grow. At the moment is our house filled with young plants that soon will move out on our terrass and at our front door. I can't wait for that!

So while I wait for my own plants to bloom have I made a card with one of my favourite flowers. The image is from Power Poppy which have amazing digital flower images. They are amazing!

The paper pad I have used is from PinkFresh Studio. It's fairly old paper pad that have got stuck in my stash. Find the designs a bit hard to use for cards but from time to time do I find a fairly good design that works with them. Here is it in my mind a perfect match. 

The sentiment die is in three layers and comes from Gummiapan here in Sweden. The flowers are from my stash. Believe these are from Temu. The dotty things in the corners are glittery Nuvo drops.

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

Morning and hello!

I am back once again this lovely spring week. It have been around 20 degrees Celsius they whole week. And it's wonderful. I hope it will stay this way for a while now. Fine with rain during the nights but sun during the day would be perfect in my mind!

I have used one of the toppers from a Maja Design Paper pad together with some designer papers from the same collection to put this card together. Good with a nice and easy creativity every now and then. I also want to use the toppers from time to time and sunflowers are just lovely are they not?

Some gemstones that looks a bit wired on the photo is used for decoration together with a paper doily and a die cut border to give the card some fun details. It was great tun to make this card.

Do dig out your toppers and use them from time to time. It's a nice and easy way to get your creativity going! Give it a try!

Morning and hello!

Hi there! Here is a little creation from me to you. Here comes a card that I have made lately. It's simple and quite clean, and I love how it turned out. 

These fantastic tulips are from hÄnglar and Wings. And for once have I dug out  my water colours to paint my iimages. The designer papers are from Carta Bella or maybe Echo Park. 

Hope you like it!

Enjoy your weekend!

Flower Friday 4/24

Morning and hello!

Friday again and time for a new card from me. This time is it a flower card that have focus. I don't remember from where I have gotten this wonderful image. I love tulips as they remind me of my granny. She loved these flowers but her favourites was red ones. 

 I love the pink ones, but these became a little too pink, but still. It's cheerful and happy. For this card have I used some left overs from a couple of Easter paper pads that I am finishing of. There is really only small pieces left of both the pads, but I can probably make a few more cards from the left overs. We'll see. The white Nuvo drops have collapsed a bit for me, but not the blue green ones are still fine. I love the drops as decorations. Nice and fun to work with.

Take good care and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Hi there! It's time for a new Flower Friday. I had a lot of fun making this card as it was so easy to put together for once. 

 It just came together with an ease. I am not totally sure from where I have gotten the image. I just can't remember from where, it was there but now is it gone again. My brain need a boost to get working again. LoL The designer papers is from LOTV and NitWit. I have also used a punch for a boarder. Some lovely lace and paper roses together with some black Nuvo drops finish this card off. Oh, a butterfly charm have I also used. I have bought way too many charms but it's such a great finishing for a card. I love them! The sentiment is from hÄnglar and Wings.

Now is it time for some rest and some sleep as well. I really need it. The pain make my sleep really bad. Have a good day and take time to do something that you enjoy.

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Hi and hello! And all that! It's Friday again and I have another flower card to show off. I have coloured with my markers from Winsor and Newton and I have paired my card with designer papers from... well, who knows. I don't have the pad next to me when I write this.

Sorry about the strange photo by the way, I had problems with all the photos taken today. Anyway, I have used some lovely lace that I have used pretty often lately but it's so lovely that I can't help myself. Some gem stones are also added for an extra bling and detail and of course as it is me, lots of layers as well.  Some sparkle here and there on the flowers and I am pretty happy with my card.

Hopefully have I given you some inspiration and do take some time and do something you love!

Love n hugs

 Morning and hello!

I am back for the second time this week with a new card. I have chosen to call my new mini series Flower Friday. Can that be something to keep going? 

I have used a favourite stamp from Magnolia, Sweden. I have had this stamp for ages and never get bored of it. It's fun to colour and it makes great cards, especially for spring.

I have coloured with my Promarkers and matched the image with some designer paper from Maja Design. I believe that the designer papers are from Basic Spring collection. A die cut border made with dies from Lawn Fawn have been used and together with a ribbon and some pearls is the card finished. It was a fun make and I look forward to make a few new cards pretty soon.

Love n hugs
