my piece of paper

Hello!

As from Wednesday of last week you can find my cards and tags on Etsy! Head over to Etsy and search mypieceofpaper. Or click on the link here! I ship world wide!

In my shop you´ll find lots of different cards and tags, cute, fun, whimsical, fancy and elegant. But sometimes cute and whimsical are not what you are looking for, for a special occasion that calls for something a little more elegant and CAS as these Feather note cards.

For these elegant note cards I have used a Next Generation embossing folder from We R Memory keepers and a beautiful feather stamp from Clearly Besotted.

I heat embossed the feather, and made these note cards in a variety of colors like bright pink, silver, gold, aqua and black. 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Hello!

This is a birthday card, a custom order I made a few weeks back! I usually do not want to publish a post about a card that I know has not yet been given to its recipient, I prefer to wait until I know it has been delivered! 

The requests for this card; this particular stamp, pastel colors and name and year on the front of the card.

This is an older stamp, which I go back to again and again as it is very versatile. It´s from the á la Mode collection by My Favorite Things. I like to apply a coat of Glossy accents to the glass to make it look like glass! The letters are from the "Moxie" alpabeth by QuicKutz, I like the size of the letters as they are fairly small and often fits on a 6x6" card as long as the words aren´t too long!

To get the letters to be positioned straight I put the letters on my desk, the way I want them to show on the card and then put a strip of low tack adhesive tape to the front of them. ( You have to act quick as you don´t want any of the letters to move around!) Then I  apply glue to the back of the letters and position them onto the card and carefully peel of the tape.

I love the soft colors and pattern of this patterned paper and it is so much fun to use the paper piecing technique as here on the dress! This is my take on a CAS kind of card, not too busy but with lots of details! Not much coloring on this one as I didn´t need to color the dress, but where I did color I used Copic markers, and I outlined the image with dots of different shades of grey and pink for a softer look!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Hi!

I totally forgot to share some sweet baby cards I made a while ago. It was a custom order for two baby cards, no special requests, other then two different cards! I decided to go with my old bunny and bear stamps from C.C Design, I use to reach for them when making this kind of cards, as they are so sweet with their little angel wings!

I made them colorful, not specific boy-ish or girl-ish, just happy colors!

I also put a couple of balloons on both cards, added a thick coat of Glossy accents for a shiny look!

All images are colored with Copic markers and Wink of Stella on their wings.

The stitched border die is from Mama Elephant from the "Landscape trio" set. The pennants are from the stamp set "Soiree" also from Mama Elephant!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Hello!

With only a few hours to go before the challenge closes I submit my card to this week´s (or last week´s?!) Freshly Made Sketches Challenge no 256!

With this sketch (above) to follow I just knew I had to put this little hedgehog on the card!

On a frosty, cold December night he is standing in the snow, wearing his warm and cozy scarf, looking up at the twinkling stars!

This is one of the cutest hedgehogs ever! Love this stamp set "Happy Hedgehogs" from Birdie Brown and My Favorite Things!

This is my first card (out of five) using this stamp set! Background is colored with Distress inks from Ranger and the stars are made by heat embossing, using the "Confetti" stencil from Heidi Swapp. For the snowy slope I used a stiched border die from the "Landscape trio" set, from Mama Elephant!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Hi!

I have a new rule in my craft room! Inspired by Anna and her CASometry Challenge. My new rule is to make five different cards when getting a new stamp set! I really like that rule, to challenge oneself to use the different stamps in a set. Usually I use one or two of the stamps, because I like them the best. But it´s only fair to give the others a try too, right?!

In my last post you can see my first card, made using this totally adorable stamp set "Woodland Wonders" from Avery Elle.   !!!
Above are all five of them, plus three tags in the upper right hand side corner!

For this card (above) I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from the "Big greetings" set also from Avery Elle.

I love that the banner comes with four different coordinating sentiment stamps to chose from. Happy wishes, thank you, oh happy day and sending hugs! They are perfect for a lot of different kind of cards!

The owl is my favorite in this set, and I think the tree is super cute!

For the card above I have used the "Geometric grid" stencil from My Favorite Things for the background, with Distress ink from Ranger. 

The Woodland critters are soooo cute I had to make some tags also. They are perfect as small thank you notes. The tag die I have used is from the set "Nested terrific tag dies" (a six piece set) from Bo Bunny.

All images are colored with Copic markers.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
