Another day, another Christmas Card

Hi all! Todays card is made with one of the sweet new Christmas stamps from Lili of the valley and as I give most of my cards to a cat shelter, what is a better fit than some Christmas kittens?
The card is made for the challenges that is going on at Winter Wonderland - holly, red and green. And Die Cut Dream's Christmas Challenge which has the the theme of Furry things. DP are from DCWV I think and some huge bling stones from Panduro, card candy in the corners, glitterations from Anitas and some stickles from TH. The image is coloured with my beloved promarker pens.

Now some dinner and then off to a meeting at Kindergarten.

Have a good evening!

Just Magnolia meets Let's ink it up

For the first time in months I finally found the time to take part in the Just Magnolia Challenge were Dawny has drawn a lovely sketch for us all to follow. I turned my card into an easle card this time as it is kind of fun to make them. At Let's ink it up the theme is favorite stamp with the twist of a charm. Let's ink it up does also have a DT call if anyone is intrested in giving it a try. And charms are added. I won some wonderful sweet fabric butterflies in a christmas challenge. A goodie bag filled with different decorations and I totally fell in love with this butterflies.
It was really hard to photograph this card today. One minute cloudy, the next sunny and the wind is awful. The card was about to take off during the photo shoot. :) DP are from Papermania, flowers from WOC, butterflies from Altheas Mix and the metall one is from Pagoni, web ribbon Bunny Zoe and the half pearls from Joanna Sheen.

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,

Passion for Promarkers, long time no seen...

Every single card I've made recently has been without any stampt images. This is the first image I've coloured in three weeks I think. Hard work to get back to it. :) The theme at Passion for Promarkers this week is "Make your own flowers". I have only made one and I hope that is enough? It's the big rose that is my creation. I made a couple more of them but it got too much on the card. To big and it looked silly. So I decided to combine a few prima flower to keep the rose company. I made the card for a neighbour how turned 50 this week. I've been taking care of their cats when they have been away on  holiday. DP are Basic Grey, flowers MI and prima, swirls from MD, pearls Bunny Zoe, alphas from TH die. And the image is from Whiff of Joy.

So this is all for now. I wish you all the best and have a great weekend!

Hugs,
Marie

Christmas at Althea's once again

It seems like the only card I'm making those days are the ones for the X-mas challenge at Altheas Mix. This week it's an origami folding of a Christmas tree. My first thought was, oh now I can't do that. All the cards will look the same, so what's the point. I gave it a couple of days to think about it, and this is what I ended up with.
The DP:s I've used are all Bearly Mine Design. Thanks Donna! The card would never have looked this good without those papers. Decorations is a mixture of things, ribbon (golden one) and the harp are from Altheas Mix and was a part of my price for winning last week. Thanks Mita! Also the corner stamp is found there.
Flower and leafs are Wild Orchid Craft. The golden heart is from Pagoni. Some golden stickle and mill hill sead beads and I have a hanging Christmas tree, origami foldet with a star in the top from Bunny Zoe. And I'm thrilled about this card! It looks wow, even to me who normally is not a big fan of my own work. :)

Have a great day!

Hugs,
Marie

Some sentiment challenges

Todays card is made for the challenges Bah! Humbug! and Die Cut Dreams Christmas club were the theme is Text or sentiment only. No pictures or images.This came fairly easy this time, maybe that's why I am so early with this post. Nice and easy, and most of all fun to make.
The ribbon is from Stämpelgården, the flowers and leaves from Wild Orchid Craft, some card stock from Panduro and Basil, stickles glitterglue in golden rod and christmas red and I was done, after embossing the white panel with swiss dots for a little more intrest to be added to the card. Hope you like!
