my piece of paper

Hello!

You know when you just fall in love with a stamp set? This is one of my recent crushes!!!     Love , love, love these little critters!

This is the "Woodland Wonders" clear stamp set from Avery Elle. I even think that the tree is cute!

At the moment I am also very much fond of The Die-namics Stitched Circle Scallop Frames from My Favorite Things! For the grass I used one of the dies in the "Landscape trio" set from Mama Elephant to get that stiched border. All images are colored with Copic markers,  behind the owl I have very carefully and light handed colored with Distress Ink, Tumbled Glass.  

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Hi!

I have been doing my happy dance over here since last week when I was chosen as the Featured Stamper at the Color Throwdown Challenge! Yay!!!  I am so happy and excited to join the team this week!

Here´s the color palette for this week´s challenge!

Here´s my blinkie!

And here is my card!

The colors to use are purple, magenta, poppy red, orange, and yellow!

For this card I have used my go-to stamp when making happy and colorful cards, "Suzette" from Kraftin´Kimmie Stamps! As background I have used the "Geometric grid" stencil from My Favorite Things with Distress ink from Ranger. The image is colored with Copic markers.

I wanted some more color on this card, so I decided to go for the colors I used on the image and just drew stripes (irregular!) on a piece of cardstock and cut it into pieces to put on both sides of the image!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello!

This is another card I made earlier, during the 30 Day Coloring Challenge back in July. I only  uploaded it on Instagram, but not on the blog, so here is the full card!

A very CAS one layer card, love the stripes! They kind of add something special to a clean & simple card. It really is a fast and easy way to add some wow and interest!

This old (in stamp being retired!!!) beauty, "Florence" by Moonlight Whisper from Kraftin´Kimmie Stamps is one of my happy, seize the day-summer stamps!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello!

This is a card I made earlier this summer, during the 30 Day Coloring Challenge back in July. I uploaded a picture of it on Instagram so you may recognize it from there, but not on my blog, so here it is!

For this card I made a simple background using Distress Ink from Ranger, on the part that is supposed to be water I added a coat of Wink of Stella to make it shimmer! 

This image, Uptown Girl "Sandy" from Stampingbella is colored with Copic markers. I added a coat of Glossy accents to her sun glasses!

I finished it off with a few sequins and a hint of patterned paper!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello!

This is my entry for this week´s Bellarific Friday over at Stampingbella! The challenge for this week is to create your own background, and I couldn´t resist playing along, as that meant I could play with one of my new stencils. I can´t believe it took me so long to finally understand how much fun they are and the results and different ways to use them are...I guess that list can be quite long! Anyway...love stencils!!!

I thought I would color this brick wall in a non traditional brick wall color! So I went with one of my favorite colors...pink! 

For this card I used these Uptown cuties "Victoria and Juliette" from Stampingbella.

The stencil "Small brick wall" is from My Favorite Things, and I colored it using Distress Ink from Ranger. The image is colored with Copic markers!

Hello!

This week I am also playing along in the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge!

For this card I just had to use my newest, cutest, most adorable set of stamps...

...  "Woodland Wonders" from Avery Elle. Super cute, can´t get enough of them...

...and my newest die, Die-namics Stitched Circle Scallop Frames, from My Favorite Things. What I love about this die is that it´s a frame with the scallops turning inwards!

I altered the banner by making it longer to fit the sketch , and by doing so I was able to use both the "sending hugs" and the "happy wishes" stamps. Images colored with Copic markers, and the background is made with Distress ink from Ranger.

Hello!

I am playing along in this week´s Color Throwdown Challenge!

When I saw the selected colors to be used I immediately thought of this little elf cutie!

So I made another early Christmas card! I had no idea I was in such a Holiday spirit!

This little guy is colored with Copic markers, to the Christmas ornament I applied a coat of Glossy accents.

For the background I have used a Heidi Swapp stencil (love stencils!!!) and Distress Ink from Ranger. The black and white stripes is tape, also Heidi Swapp, Marquee Love. 

And the little elfie is from the clear stamp set "BB Santa´s Elves" from My Favorite Things!

Happy Friday and thanks for stopping by today!

Hello!

First Christmas card for 2016 is finished!

I really wanted to give heat embossing and watercoloring a go and the other night (!) I saw a beautiful card on Instagram, featuring a gold embossed poinsettia, that inspired me.

So I heat embossed my poinsettia stamp from Penny Black using gold embossing powder from Ranger. And that alone looked so elegant! Even without color!

I dusted of my Inktense pencils, I can´t even remeber the last time I used them for a project.

I finished the card with glittery gold trimmings, a sentiment heat embossed with gold and some sequins!

Hello!

A little while back I was asked to make a card for a wedding. Red, pink, fuchsia, white, silver and hearts were the requests for this particular card.

Almost a year ago I saw this stencil from Heidi Swapp with hearts, stars and falling snow , all-in-one, called "Confetti", but when I was ready to order it it was out of stock. A few months ago when I was ordering some goodies from Simon Says Stamp it was back in stock and I have been waiting for a card to use it on!

The Bride & Groom was purchased years ago and I have no idea what the brand of that stamp is...I like it as it is very laid back!

Thank you for stopping by today!
