Wishing you

Had to try out my new stamp and I thought it would look nice with some gold embossing. Yeay, it turned out great! Thought that teal would be a nice combo to the gold, so added some distress ink for the background. Then addeded some gold hearts to finish it off.

All sorts of wonderful

I believe you don't need a certain day to tell the ones you love that you love them. You should say it every chance you get! But to many people Valentines day is special and this card was inspired by that day and all the challenges with the heart and Love theme.

First card with My new mama elephant stamps, here combined with the sweet boy with a heart by Phunnyface. Coloured with prisma pencils and the background is distress ink.

Sad news

I got the sad news the other day that an old friend had breast cancer and was going through surgery. We were good friends in school but had not seen eachother for many years now. I really wanted to send her a card to let her know I was thinking and praying for her.
I tought the cute angel from Skaparkällarn would be a good image for the card and I colored it with prisma color pencils. I kept it Clean and simple, the way I like it.

One layer card

I have not been so good at blogging my cards lately, the few I have manager to do.... But now I had an idea in my head that I really wanted to try out, so here is finally something new from me :-)

I used my new happy birthday die on masking tape and used the diecut as a mask. I then inked over it with distress ink. Splattered some water on it to make it more interesting. I am very happy with how it turned out. I think it's a happy card and the colours make me think of springtime.

Cute little penguine

A cute little penguine is on this birthday card today.

New stamps

I know it's many months to next ramadan but I bought new stamps and I wanted to try them right away. My boyfriend is a muslim so I thought it would be nice to have some stamps for muslim holidays as well as my christian ones.

So here is a card for ramadan. I masked off a part of the card and then used green distress ink over the stamped image and sentiment. I then sprayed perfect pearls gold over it to make it shimmer beautifully. It's difficult to take good photos of shimmer so I post a couple of photos. 

Ramadan is the month when the quaran started to come to Mohammed. That's why I enter the card in Less is more's challenge this week.

I love you

It's fathers day here in sweden on sunday. It will be the first one we celebrate for my dear man as he became dad to our precious son in august. I don't get much time to do cards theese days due to the little one but I have time to search the internet for inspiration. I found a cool technique with embossing folders that I wanted to try out. So when I finally got some time to create I decided to try this technique for two fathers day cards, one for my father and one for my sons father. 

The technique is to ink up a piece of watercolor paper, I used distress ink. Then spray a embossing folder with water on one side and press that side on the paper. The water will pick upp some of the ink and leave the folders pattern on the paper. 

The pink one didn't turn out the way it was supposed to but I liked it and think it makes a cool background. The sentiment says I love you.

A quick card

Sometimes you really need a card like now and you don't have any in your stash that you like. Then you need to make a really quick one.This is such a card. I need a birthday card tomorrow morning and not much time with a newborn to make on. So here it is made with distress ink and dies. The word says congratulations in swedish. 

Roses

In a magazine I recently got some layering stamps from Altenew. It's roses and leaves. This is the first card I made with them. I will definitly need more practise with them but for a first try I think it turned out ok.

This is a Thank You card.

Orange and kraft

Wanted to make a birthday card with kraft and white. I felt it got a bit to white so I went with my favoriter colour on the cardstock instead; orange. To match that I also paited the Stamped flower with orange.

Bear-hug

This is also a digistamp from Skapar-källarn. I have cut him out and put him on a piece of kraft paper. The sentiment says "Hug" in Swedish.

Party-hen

The first time a saw this great digistamp from Skapar-Källarn I fell in love with it and had to buy it right away. I think the card screams " Let's celebrate! " and that a sentiment wasn't needed. 

I have coloured the image with distress ink. 

This is a card that makes me smile :-)

I miss you

I really like the stamps from Mama Elephant. This is my first card with latest stamps I bought from this brand. A sweet one-layer card.

I'm back

I have finally unpacked my crafting supplies after our move in january. I have missed it so much. It's still unorganised and all over the place but it's out of the boxes, yeah!  This is the first card I made. It was nice to do some colouring.

Merry christmas in Kraft

Here is a clean and simple card in kraft. I used a branch-stamp to create the wreath, just stamped it many times in a circle. Some half-pearls as decoration and the little bow to finish it off. It turned out really pretty so I think I have to make more of these :-)

The first ones

I have finally started with my Christmas cards. It was really about time if I want to make enought to both sell and to send myself.

This is two cards where I used embossing on the trees and then distress ink around it. I really like this tree-stamp, it's so pretty. 

The sentiments say merry Christmas and Christmas greetings in swedish.
