Merry Christmas

tisdag 22 november 2016

Hello there crafters!
Now I really have to hurry up if I shall be able to link up my card for this week's Addicted to Stamps and More photo inspiration challenge before time runs out.
When I saw the challenge I really wanted to try doing something to it. This time I have used Penny Blacks Ornately Merry stamp set, Distress inks, and a piece of old Authentic paper from my stash. Then I added a branch made with one of Tim Holtz Holiday Greens dies and some white enamel dots. I die-cut the mittens with Poppy Stamps Love Mittens die and adhered them too. Finally, I tied a twine around the card.
That´s all from me today. Thank you for stopping by!
Hugs, Birgit

My First Christmas

måndag 21 november 2016

Hello there crafters!
I have another Christmas card to share this week, featuring an adorable little stamp from Joy Cafts My first Christmas stamp set. This card will be perfect for my grandson and his family, he´s just that cute and small.
I colored up with watercolors and the hood got a layer 3D snow and glitter, then I cut it out by hand.  Next, I used the Xcut Star embossing folder and blue Distress inks for the background, I also splattered over a little white paint. I die cut the mountains and trees with Memory Box Forest Hills Landscape/Evergreen Landscape dies. The snowflakes is punched out of glitter paper. Okay, that´s all for me.
As always thanks so much for stopping by today!
Hugs, Birgit

Christmas Tags

torsdag 17 november 2016

Hello everyone!
I think it's difficult with tags, they never becomes really good! Either they become too big ... or it turns out that they have the wrong color theme when it's time to use them. So now I have held on to gold and silver for my Christmas tags that suits almost everything, at least I think so.
And I almost copied Natasha and Cornelias tags over at Muse:ChristmasVisions. Besides that, I do not really know how 25 Days of Christmas Tags work. Do I need to link up there too? And where and when should I leave comments, it seems so complicated?
I link up to Muse:ChristmasVisions and hope that´s enough.
For the first tag I used the Gemstone embossing folder from We R Memory Keepers and a small stamp from an old Inkadinkado stamp set, that I gold heat embossed on vellum.
For the second tag I used the Poppy Stamps Forest Deer die, and the clouds was cut out of vellum with My Favourite Things dies.
That´s all for today! As always thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs, Birgit

Merry Christmas

tisdag 15 november 2016

Hello friends!
Can you believe it´s middle of November already? Oh, my!! Now, time passes quickly until Christmas, and I must say that it feels good to have a lot of cards ready.
 I just finished this one made for Muse:ChristmasVisions. I really wanted it to be a street scene, so I added a car maybe on the way home for Christmas.
I started with the patterned paper from ScrapBerry´s Once Upon a Winter collection, and continued with the Marianne Design skyline that was die cut both in black and white where the black was placed behind the white. I also used a piece of the Poppy Stamps Evergreen Landscape die cut behind the silhouette.
Next, I stamped, die cut and gold embossed the car from Lawn Fawn Home For The Holidays stamp set, also used to the sentiment. I die cut the words from Rox Stamps in gold paper, and added Platinum Stickles for a lot of glittering.
As always thanks so much for stopping by!

On Baptism Day

fredag 11 november 2016

Hi there!
I´m back again with a new project, this time it´s a baptism card to a sweet little boy.
 
I colored the digi image with Copics and stamped the Gummiapan sentiment in black above. Then I die cut the edge with one of the MFT Stitched Scallop Basic Edges. I popped it up onto patterned paper from K-designs Color Explosions collection. I also added a metal spoon along with some ribbons.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

To Dad On Your Day

onsdag 9 november 2016

Hi there!
 I gave myself a challenge when I decided to make a Father's Day card in the colors Purple & Gold, and I got the color idea from the challenge over at Less is More. Here with me it´s the Father's Day on Sunday, and I hope he likes this.
I can tell you...this is not my colors. Anyway, I have used some dies to create this. The Penny Black Soft Caress die, the Memory Box Slender Leaves and Fresh Foliage dies, the MFT Stitched Scallop Basic Edges die. After stamping the sentiment from K-designs in Watermark it was gold heat embossed.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello blogging friends!
I´m very excited to be joining along with the creative DT as a Guest Designer at Through The Craft Room Door this week! For the current challenge, we are sponsored by Crafty Sentiments Designs and I have chosen to work with the Emmi Lou - Just Me image.
After I colored the image with my Copics I masked it and added more texture with gray Distress ink and The Crafters Workshop Mini Tile Texture stencil. The sentiment from Penny Blacks Mimi´s Love  set was stamped in black and adhered to the card. For the background I used Authentique papers from 2013, the Renew collection. I added a metal clip, a black enamel dot and a few gold sequins to finish of the card.
I hope you enjoyed this project. Pleace be sure to visit the Through The Craft Room Door blog to join along too.

Christmas Rectangle Pull Card

lördag 5 november 2016

Hello friends!
I'm trying to catch up to post here on my blog, but I fail all the time because a lot of things get in the way. This card has been on my desk for two weeks now and finally you will see it now.
 I have created the card base by using a Elizabeth Craft Designs Rectangle Pull Card die together with papers from Panduro. Then I started to color the cute stamps from the My Favourite Things Merry Everything set with Copic Markers. I then cut them out using the coordinating dies. I also added some Glossy Accents and Star Dust Stickles. For the sentiment in the lower left corner, I used a Mandy´s die.
Another card for Christmas is ready and this time with a slightly different design, fun!
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Saturday!
Hugs, Birgit

Birthday Card

tisdag 1 november 2016

Hello everyone!
Today I thought I´d share a Birthday card using my sweet Lavinia stamp. It is such a beautiful stamp, ideal for silhouettes in black, at least I think so.
After stamping I clear heat embossed the image and then watercolored around it. Then the wings got a layer Star Dust Stickles. After drying I cut a little around the wings and one foot by hand so I could place the image into the oval that I had cut out of a piece of K-designs paper with a Die-namics die. For my sentiment, I die cut the words from Tim Holtz Celebrate set and drew with a black pen underneath for added dimension. I finished of with a few rhinestones and twine.
As always thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs, Birgit
