Christmas Cheers 11-23

Morning and hello!

It's time for another Christmas card from me. I have used another oldie but goodie from Sugar Nellie. This is a favorite image of mine., it makes me smile every time. Wonder how many cards I can make with this stamp without getting bored?

I have had fun with my Maja Design papers for this card. I don't know from which paper pad these are but one of the newer ones. I have used a snowflake die to make some snowflakes with and fence die from Magnolia. And that is all I have used for this card together with many layers of card stock.

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

Love n hugs

Spring over at Passion for Markers

Morning and hello!

We are back over at Passion for Markers with a new fun challenge and our theme this week is set to "SPRING". Nice and easy, I just hope that the weather would take on that theme as well. It's -4 degrees outside today. I want the temperatures to raise to 10-15 degrees or so, that would be good at this time of the year. 

Our sponsor this week is Alex Syberia Designs offers one lucky winner a £10 voucher (digi products only) from their store. Some fantastic designs to choose from.

Have fun lucky winner!

For my card have I used the lovely Tulip close up from our sponsor. I have coloured with my trusty promarkers this time. And I have paired up my image with papers from three different paper pads from Lawn Fawn that I have in my stash for cases like this when I don't want too much pattern but still want to have something. I managed to find some lovely soft papers for my easter yellow tulips. Perfect match!

I dug out some paper flowers from my stash and that is added together with some sequins, two kind of ribbons, some die cut leaves as my main decorations. I have also used some pearls, a very sparkly glitter pen and some die cut clouds to finish the whole thing off. Ooh! The sentiment is also a stack of die cuts made with a die from Gummiapan. Perfect for all birthday cards!

This is all from me for today. I wish you a good week with lots of fun and do take some time to do something for yourself as well.

Love n hugs

Colours of spring over at Passion for Markers

 Morning and hello!

Time for a new challenge over at Passion for markers and our theme is set to "Colours of spring". That would be pastel colours, at least in my mind. :) 

 

Our sponsor this week is Dies to die for which will award one lucky winner a gift voucher worth £15. A great prize right?

My card for this challenge features a Tilda image from Magnolia Sweden. This is an old time favourite of mine from this brand. I have coloured her with my promarkers and paired the image with designer papers from Echo Park. 

I have used some gemstones in purple as decorations on the image, some paper flowers and die cut leaves together with a charm and twine as extra details. A dotty ribbon and some hot pink pearls finish this spring creation.  I had fun putting it together and now do I hope that you will come and join us over at Passion for Markers. 

Take good care and spend time doing something you love!

Love n hugs

Use die cuts over at Passion for Markers

Moring and hello!

It have been a long silence here on my blog this year. Due to pain and struggle with my meds is my posts a bit unregular. When your body says stop you need to listen. Anyway, I have managed to make a card for this week's challenge. Yay for me! It took a while to colour but I am glad that I gave it a go.

Our sponsor this time is for us a new one called Alex Syberia Designs. They offer one lucky winner a gift voucher worth $10. That is what one lucky winner will receive this week! Thank you for that!

The image I have used is called Fabulous Floral. It's a lovely design and fun to colour. I have used parts of the image twice and coloured one of them. I cut the coloured part with a circle die as that is our theme

this week, USE DIE CUTS. Nice and easy theme, don't you think? Anyway, I cut down the other print of the image to fit my card. I then put the coloured circle over the rectangular image. To back it all did I use a part of a Lawn Fawn designer paper. Don't have the paper pad in mind at this point. 

After that did I die cut a sentiment from hÄnglar and Wings saying Grattis = (congratulations) a few times and layered them together to build some dimension for the card. On top of the card did I add a few pearls to finish it all off.

I hope you like what you see and that you come and play with us over at Passion for Markers.

Love n hugs

Christmas cheer 2-22

Morning and hello!

Time for February's Christmas Cheer. This image I believe is from Bugaboo but I am not sure. I have had it printed for a while now, and coloured too. It's a sweet image that is nice to colour as well. 

I have paired my image with a few die cuts from Crealies (the rectangle) and the hearts are probably from Gummiapan. The designer papers are from Lawn Fawn. It's a really simple card but a nice to create. The sentiment is by the way from hÄnglar and Wings. I have used Altenew ink for that one.

Take good care and do something that makes you happy!

Love n hugs

Just for fun Christmas cheer 1

Morning and hello!

I am back again with a card made during the dark hours of the night when my body and mind doesn't want to go to bed. I have been sleeping fairly good for a while but the last few days has been terrible when it comes to sleep. It's a little too late to fall asleep around 4 in the morning. But the good thing is that I get some crafting done. 

For this card have I used one of my beloved stamps from hÄnglar and Wings. This little guy is from the set called Klädd för vinter. It's a set with a boy and a girl and a few sentiment stamps. The sentiments are written in English. 

I have coloured with my Promarkers and the paper pad is called Blue and Grey from Creotime. They have some lovely wintery designs. And as I love to work with grey scale in my colouring this is perfect fit for this one. I have also used a bunch of shaped gemstones. A silver ribbon, a snowflake charm, a silk ribbon tied to a bow. The snow flake die is from Lawn Fawn. I have also used a sentiment from hÄnglar and Wings in the inside of the card. I realized that many of my cards is a bit heavy for a single stamp sending. So try to keep in under those 50 g that you can send with one stamp. :)

Ok then, as I have a bunch of Christmas cards made I think I'll make a mini series with a few of them. So have a look out for my Christmas Cheer series. :)

Love n hugs

Marie
