Hello !

With only two days until Christmas I share two more Holiday cards in a short post!

For this card I have been using the  "Savannah has a star" stamp by Uptown Girls and Stampingbella!

I have added some sequins and decorated the tree with Stickles glitter glue!

And for the last card I have been using the super cute snowman stamp from the clear stamp set "Snowy short stack" from Stampendous. All images are colored with copic markers!

And this was my last Christmas card for 2015!

Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas!

Hello! The last Saturday of November we packed up the car with lots of cards, tags and matchboxes, mini Christmas trees, a cute snowman, battery operated light chains and fir to decorate my stall for the day at the Christmas market in Äsköping, Julita.

I designed a special display modul for my big cards to get some height and create some interest for the people passing by my stall, to get them to stop and take a look!

This was my first time selling at a Christmas market and I had no idea (or very little!) what to think about and take into consideration.

Luckily I had expert help with a lot of ideas and advice from my friend "Knäckehäxan" who attends markets all the time!

Baskets are from IKEA, perfect size for my cards, matchboxes and tags!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello!

These cute little tags are perfect to go with all the Christmas gifts!

I really enjoyed making these tiny tags! Even though it took forever to get them done, as I made 100 tags! The die, "embellished tag"  is from Mama Elephant,  I love the stiches along the edges! Makes them look really special!

There were so many steps before I could see the finished tag! Die cut the white card stock, die cut the colored card stock, stamp the image, color the stamped image, die cut the little colored circel, glue it on to the white piece, punch a hole through the tags, and finally join them together with the black and white twine!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello!

This is one of the Christmas cards I keep making year after year. It´s one of my favorites, I think it´s because I like blending the different turquoises and blue´s of distress inks! And of course I love this little penguin too! 

The snowflakes makes all the difference!

One thing to take into consideration though, when making the snowflakes, using the stencil "Falling snow" from Simon Says Stamp, do not use pigment ink as it takes forever (even when using a heat tool) to dry, go for heat embossing instead! 

I have glittered the piece of ice using Stickles to get it really "icy"!

This sentiment stamp (says Merry Christmas & a happy new year) is also a favorite of mine, it´s part of a clear stamp set from their own brand I once won over at Skapa Hobby years ago.

 The inspiration for this card found at Kristina Werner, www.kwernerdesign.com

Hello!

A decorated matcbox is perfect as a small gift, and very useful this time of year!

This poinsettia stamp is called "Sparkler", from Penny Black.

To get a little sparkle to the poinsettias I have added a coat of Wink of Stella in color clear! 

This little hedgehog is from the clear stamp set "Holly day critters" by Penny Black. To get a nice and shiny Christmas ornament I have added a coat of Glossy Accents!
