my piece of paper

Hello!

During the upcoming week I have three cards
that I made for Isabel Cristina to share, using the
new "Baby it´s cold outside" digi stamp set.

For my first card using this set I choose the bunny,
and two of his friends on a Christmas tree hunt!

This stamp set comes with so many cute images and sentiments, 
just look at the market stall and all the items to use for that!
To shop this digi stamp set please go to Isabel´s Etsy store!

The images  and the moon were colored with Copic markers,
the sky was colored with Distress Inks, Broken China,
Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire. Some droplets of
water was splashed on the Distress ink blending!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello!

Today I share my first Christmas card made for Isabel Cristina! 

This digi stamp set called "Christmas cats" comes with so
many adorable kittens, Christmas ornaments, boxes and
sentiments! It is now available in Isabel´s Etsy store!

I often layer several images when playing with
Isabels stamp sets, but the kittens I used for this
card comes that way, no layering this time!

The kittens were colored with Copic markers.
I colored the background panel with Distress inks, using
Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmelade and Candied Apple,
I then splashed some droplets of water on to it!

The fluffy cloud/snow was made using the cloud border
die from the "Landscape trio" die set from Mama Elephant.

Hello!

I have a new favorite color combo, dark pink/orange/yellow!

For today´s card I used the "Curvy girl with a cocktail" from
Stampingbella. I colored her dress red-ish/brown, with Copic
markers. The pink/orange/yellow background panel was
colored with Distress inks, Picked Raspberry, Abandoned Coral, 
Spiced Marmalade and Scattered Straw blended with a mini
ink blending tool and finished off with some droplets of water.

 For the frame and background I used "Gallery frame #2" die
from Hello Bluebird. I decided to use patterned paper and die
cut this pretty striped paper using the "Gallery frame #2"
die again to get the inner frame. That means I have the outer
scalloped frame saved for a later project!

 The die cut hello is from the "Gallery frame #1" die, also from
Hello Bluebird. I die cut two pieces, adhering the black
slightly to the side as a shadow to the white piece.

Hello!

Fall season is here and today I share a tag I made for
Isabel Cristina using the beautiful maple leaf from the
”Fall friends” digi stamp set. I just love the heart!

There are so many cute stamps in this set,
perfect for fall cards, invitations and tags!
This set is available in Isabel´s Etsy store.

I resized the leaf to fit my tag, and then printed it out.
The die I used is from the”Tag along” tag die collection
set by Clearly Besotted. I colored both the leaf and the
background with Copic markers. I used a black fine line
marker for the tiny dots on the leaf. I applied Glossy
Accents to the heart to make it pop and shine!

The die cut thanks is from the ”Gallery frame #2” by
Hello Bluebird. I die cut two pieces, adhering the black
slightly to the side as a shadow to the pink. I die cut the
hole reinforcer out of black cardstock as well to got with the
black shadow of the ”thanks”. I always make my
tags double, with a separate tag to write on!

 As always, I am so grateful for you visiting my blog!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello!

Using my favorite Hello Bluebird raccoon for this
Thinking-of-you card! This adorable little guy is from the
"Fly a kite" stamp set, the little bird and the flowers are from
the "Banner buddies" set, also from Hello Bluebird.

The background is a rough around the edges watercolor circle!
I was inspired by Lisa´s super cute penguin card and
this was the perfect card to give it a try!

I cut out a circle from a piece of scrap paper as a mask,
then applying water with a brush to my watercolor paper,
starting with the "ground", going a little outside the "lines"
to get that rough, uneven look! I used Liquid watercolor from
Avery Elle, color Celery, for the grass and Aquamarine
for the sky and just dripped a few drops into
the wet area. I love how the color just spreads and stays
where the paper is wet! Still a newbie to the world of
watercolors and still fascinated by these small things!

After letting it dry for a few minutes I once
again placed my circle mask over my panel
continuing with the blue sky part of my circle.

The images were colored with Copic markers, the sentiment
stamp is from the "Fancy sayings" set by Clearly Besotted! 

I also added a few grains of Nuvo Shimmer
Powder, color Blue Blitz to the sky, for some
shimmer, but it is hard to see in the photo.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello!

This birthday card was made mixing two stamp set from
Hello Bluebird, the "Banner buddies" and the "Fly a kite" set!
The flag stamp is from Gummiapan. 

The images were colored with Copic markers, I usually
use my Scan n Cut for cutting but I purchased the
coordinating dies to both stamp sets and the flags too and
ran them quick and easy trough my Cuttlebug!

The frame die I used for my card is also from Hello
Bluebird, "Gallery frame #1". My first thought was to let the
card be the size of the frame (A2), but I felt something was
missing and I placed my panel on a white cardbase
and that white edge was what was missing! The finished
card is close to A7 size, just slightly smaller!

To create my hill scene I used one of the stitched border
dies from the "Landscape trio" die set by Mama Elphant.
Distress ink Mowed Lawn was used for coloring the hill
and Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean was used for the sky!
I splashed droplets of water on the Distress inked pieces!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello!

I colored these travel bunnies a while ago, they have
been sitting on my desk patiently waiting to go on a card!

They are from the fun and adorable
"Bon Voyage" digi stamp set from Isabel Cristina!

You´ll find it in Isabel´s Etsy store!

I layered several images on this card. If you are 
curious how I layer images in a Word document on my PC, 
please see my blog post from a few months ago!

The images were colored with Copic markers and then run
through my Scan n Cut. I choose to use two of the sentiments from
the set for this card, I placed them in the upper left corner to give
enough space for my images to fit the stitched die cut panel.

As backdrop I used a city map,
I knew it would come to good use some day!

I applied some Glossy accents to the sun glasses!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello!

I recieved a very beautiful card a few weeks
ago from a crafty friend and she also sent
me a floral stamp set!

I have finally inked up those pretty flowers! 

The flowers are from the "Daisy Thanks" set
by Stampendous and the sentiment stamp is from the
"Fancy Sayings" set from Clearly Besotted.

I colored the images and the background with Copic markers.

I masked that area on the stems of the
flowers with a piece of scrap printer paper
for the sentiment to be stamped there.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
