Christmas Cheers 1-24

 Morning and hello!

Here comes 2024's first Christmas card from me. I have made a few more of my mini cards. I should probably have showed this one on my Mini Monday series but for now is it nice with a Christmas Cheers card. 

It's Lawn Fawn images coloured with my promarkers. I have had so much fun creating these cards for my pen pals. And now am I ready for this years Christmas as well. At least it is a beginning for the coming celebrations. And I am happy to have a good start of my Christmas cards. 

Take care! Do something that make you happy, you know that you deserve it!

Love n hugs

Morning and hello!

Hello there I am back with a Paper Shelter card today. It was a long time since I use these lovely images. It was such joy to be able to play with this image today. It is called Little Flower Lady.

I coloured the image with my Promarkers and paired the little lady up with designer papers from Carta Bella or Echo Park. I am a bit lost when it comes to my designer papers. :) I cut some of the "project life" cards out and painted a black border around them and added them as a decoration on the card. Some flowers from my stash has also come to use with some leaves. Some butterflies made with a die from Marianne is also used together with some Nuvo drops in grey and black. 

This is all from me for today. Thanks for dropping by!

Love n hugs

Christmas in August over at Passion for Markers

 Morning and hello!
It's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers. Our theme is set to Christmas in August. You know you will need these cards sooner than later, so get creative. We accept all markers to our challenges now, come and join us!

Our sponsor this week is 

Colour of Love digis which offer one lucky winner three digis from their store.

For my card today have I used an Edwin image from Magnolia Sweden. I don't have the name for it but I believe it was new last year. I have coloured with my Promarkers.

My designer papers are from Maja Design and so is the die cuts. Both the fabby snow man in glitter card stock and the snow flakes. The border die cut is also from Magnolia. I have also added a snow flake charm, some twine, flowers from my stash. Some golden dots made with stickles in a golden colours. 

I have used many layers on this card to make the image pop do I have two layers of card stock. It was a little pale without the red card stock. Anyway, I hope you like what you see and come and play with us over at PFM this week.

Love n hugs

Happy Birthday over at The Paper Shelter

 Morning and hello!

It's a cold day here in my corner of the world and I never thought that I would say this, but I will: I want summer! My favourite time of the year is normally fall but not at this moment. I want to sit outside and craft and listen to a good book. And I want to do it now. :)

Anyway, it is Wednesday and it's time for a new challenge over at the Paper Shelter and that is pretty close to a sunny day, right? This weeks theme is set to "Happy Birthday", hope you all like that theme.

I have used an old image called Victoria. It is one of my all time favourites and I think I have used the image not too long ago. I coloured more than one because I couldn't decide what designer paper I would match the image to. But now have I decided and I went with a mix of Maja Design papers. I think it's both Vintage Spring and Vintage Fall but not totally sure. The paper pads has fallen apart and are a big bunch for me to dig in to. 

I have had a 3 day cleaning in my studio, still some left to do but I need some more boxes for storing and organizing. Anyway, I have seen all the stuff that I have hoarded over the years and it's kind of use it up time now. 

Besides that I went with pink card stock today so have I used some silver glitter stickers as a border around the card, some lovely crystals that I have had a hard time using as I got them from a friend who commit suicide some years ago. We where "just" pen friends but I still miss her. I have also used a few Prima flowers from my mega stash of flowers. Even some brad got used for the center of the flowers. To finish it all of have I used some ribbon and bow, and a sentiment stamp from hÄngar and Wings.

This will be all for today. I hope that you take some time and come and play along with us over at the Paper Shelter challenges. You don't have to use a TPS image even if we love it when you do. There is always a $30 gift voucher up for grabs if you play with our brand, playing with another gives you a chance of winning three digis of your choice. 

Take care every one and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Wedding card

Morning and hello! Another card I made this year for no dt. I think I am up to two of these now. LoL. I wonder were all time goes. I used to have so much time for card making and writing to my friends. Oh well at least I have something to write about when I finally write these days. It is so worth having a job to go to and have a "normal" life again. 

This card was made for my cousin and his wife and as I had forgot to take photos of it before we went to Hässleholm where the wedding took place the photo isn't that good. I had really fun making this card even if I had no colouring done this time, or may be it was fun because of it. So much easier. I spent quite some time with my die cutting mashine for this card and I think that I have used dies from Magnolia, Sweden only and in all different kinds. Some are border dies some flowers dies and the letters are a Tim Holtz die. The dp's is a mix of papers from Pion Design and some scraps I had laying that fitted perfect in colours. 

I have used tons of broze/golden wax on the flowers and on the label die. The lace with the roses is from Wild Orchid Crafts I think and the pearl string is from Rox stamps. 

I like the design of this card a lot so I have actually made yet another two with fairly much the same design. I will show them during the week. One being a thank you card and the other for a birthday...

Take care and I talk to you soon again. Do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Marie
