my piece of paper

Hi there!

Sharing my last card of 2018 and
wishing you all a Happy New Year!

A while ago I saw an amazing card made by
@beltwaybutterfly,
she had stamped and masked six different ladies!
I had to try that myself using some of my
Uptown Girls from Stampingbella!

I stamped my Uptown Girls on printer paper and
cut them out, not careful at all, I just needed the images so that
I would know where to place each image.
When happy with their placement I took a piece of
scotch tape, and taped them together to keep them in place! 

I then numbered each image to remember
in which order to stamp them.

Stamp, mask, repeat!

Images were colored with Copic markers!

It took me a while to color, but
so happy with how they turned out!

Happy New Year!

Hello!

This is my second and last card as Guest Designer for
the Little Blue Button Stamps for the month of December!

For today´s card I have colored the cutest little Geisha, “Kimono Girl”.

My idea for this card was lots of color!
I colored the image with Copic markers and outlined it with
a grey shadow but wanted to add something more to the background.

But nothing too busy to take away the focus from
the Geisha. I decided to add some multi
colored stripes, to match the color of her kimono.

I used the “Watercolor stripes” stencil from Altenew
and colored the stripes with Distress inks.

To match my image, I colored a piece of card stock with
Distress inks, the same colors I used for my stripes,
as a background, which I attached to the card base.

I am so happy for the opportunity to have been Guest Designer
with the Little Blue Button Stamps, thanks for having me Olga!

Copics used for her hair: N6, N8, 100, BV004

Copics used for her skin: E00, E04, E11, E21

Hi there!

Today I share my last Christmas cards for 2018! 

I love this adorable  "Winter Wear", stamp set from Concord and 9th!
I had so much fun playing with it and coloring it!

I colored the images with Copic markers.

The backgrounds were also so much fun to make! It took me a
while as there were quite a few steps to follow before they were
done, but I love how they turned out! 

I heat embossed the snow flakes, from the "Snow Flakes" set from
Avery Elle, on a piece of white card stock, using three different 
embossing powders. Turquoise, silver and gun metal for these
teal/green cards. I then went over them with Distress Inks.

White, gold and pink embossing powders were used on this pink card!

Red, gold and gun metal embossing powders were used on these red cards!

These red cards was the first ones I made using this stamp set. 

I was inspired by @nicholspohr for the backgrounds,
as her beautiful red and green snow flake cards just blew me away!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Merry Christmas!

Hello there!

For today´s Christmas cards I have used non Christmas
stamps to create Christmas like/feel scenes. 

I was so inspired by Amy Young and her incredible work, using
"Uptown Zodiac Girl Leo", from Stampingbella,
where she masked of Leo´s lion ears. I loved that idea and the furry coat!

The house stamp, is from the "Cottage Home" set from
The Waltzing Mouse Stamps.
I have had it for years but haven´t used it in a very long time,
I thought they would make a great combo!

Of course I had to let Miss Leo have a pink coat and pink boots!
I love how it turned out, and hope the recipient of the card loves it as much!

I also used the "Leo" stamp making A2 size cards,
I colored the coats in greys and browns, the tree is from the
"On thin ice" set from Clearly Besotted.

Backgrounds on all of the cards were colored using Distress inks, 
I colored the images with Copic markers.

The Merry Christmas sentiment is from the "On thin ice" set.
The God Jul sentiment is from Gummiapan. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello!

I have made so many different Christmas cards this year! 
I did a lot of masking on many of them, and I almost always
stamp at least two of the same as it often is quite time
consuming with the masking, figuring out where to put
the different images and in which order.  

Couldn´t have managed without my Misti!

One of the most adorable stamp sets this season is from Hello Bluebird!
Super cute critters and lovely sentiments from the "Christmas is coming" set!

I colored the images and snowy ground with Copic markers!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Hi there!

I am so excited to be Guest Designer with
Little Blue Button Stamps for the month of December,
thanks for having me Olga!

My first project is a card where I have used the
"Mix Media Holiday Girl" digital stamp.

I love digi stamps as you can change the size of the image
to fit your project! I chose this lovely stamp as one of my
favorite things to color is skin and hair! 

My first idea for this card was to give her a bright red top
and a red scarf to make her ready for Christmas! 

I started coloring her hair in a brown, red-ish tone and when I was finished,
I reconsidered the bright red top and went for a more neutral one instead! 

To give my card a sense of warmth I chose kraft cardstock instead
of white. I used Copic markers to color the image!

Copics used for her hair: E09, E15, E97
Copics used for her skin: E00, E04, E11, E21
Copics used for her top: W1, W2, W3, W5, W7

Sentiment stamp: Brushed Wishes from Stampendous

Hello!

How adorable are these reindeer?!!! Nostalgia sweeps over me!

For these cards I have used stamps from two different brands!

The reindeer are from the "Rooftop reindeer" set, from Hello Bluebird,
and the tree is from the "Cozy Christmas" set from Mama Elephant!

All images and background were colored with Copic markers!

Of course I had to color the tree on one of the cards pink!
I added lots of glitter to the trees, in lack of ornaments!

I can´t decide which tree I like better....
the green one is beautiful but the pink one turned out pretty awesome!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello!

My mission lately has been to incorporate more color on
my cards and these particular ones I am very pleased
with, as this is as colorful as it gets!

A really clean and simple design. I heat embossed the sentiment,
colored the panels with Distress inks using my ink
blending tool and splashed droplets of water on to the Distress ink. 

I added strips of black and white striped paper.
The cute elves were colored with Copic markers,
 no fussy cutting as I used my Scan n Cut! 

I then popped the elves on to foam pads on to the panels. Finished!

Both the elf stamp, "BB Santa´s elves" and the sentiment stamp,
"Merry Christmas Greeting" are from My Favorite Things!

Thank you for stopping by!
