Hello!

Today I share some tags I made using the super cute penguin from the
"Winter penguin" set from Lawn Fawn!

And I am also using my brand new tag die from Gina K! This is a lovely tag die
set with four different size and shape tag dies, called "Decorative tag set".

I just love the swirly heart the penguin makes when skating by!

The penguins are colored with Copic markers, the sky and the ice is colored
using Distress Inks and the heat embossed snow is made using the
"Falling snow" stencil from Simon Says Stamp.

This set of tags is soon to be listed in my Etsy shop!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Hello!

I have made another custom order door sign.

Sorry for the bad photo as the flash was reflected in the glass of the frame.

For this door sign the request were the cute hedgehogs from the
"Happy hedgehogs" set by Birdie Brown from My Favorite Things. And the color green, wich I incorporated as a "frame", as well as the ground!

I have used the Moxie alphabet dies for the letters of the names. Images are
colored with Copic markers.

Above is a "behind the scenes" photo of my messy desk!
This is what my photo set up looks like!
I hang a 12" x 12" patterned paper as background for my cards
(this time the door sign!), and place a white 12" x 12" paper underneath!

Thank for stopping by today!

Hello!

I had sooo much fun making this Halloween card!
And she is just the most adorable little witch!

The little witch, the pumpkins and the cat are from the "BB Witch way is the candy?" set
from My Favorite Things. The bats and the sentiment are from the
"Dracula I compel you" set from Whimsy Stamps.

Above, work in progress!

I did so much ink blending with Distress inks on this card, on the sky and the ground.
The images and the moon are colored with Copic markers.

I used the colorless blender on the moon to get some "moon pattern", I finished it off with a coat of shimmery Spectrum Noir, clear.

I think this is the first card I have made that does not have any white space at all!

I stamped some bats inside of the card as well!

Thank you for stopping by!

Hi!

Instead of a card I was asked to make a door sign the other day! Sooo much fun!

I die cut the letters in black as it will be placed in a black frame on the door.

This door sign is made for a family of four, two of them with four legs and fur! As you
probably can guess I have altered the ears of the dog to the right a little, as I tried
to catch the personality of the papillon, with its butterfly ears!

The stamps are from the Puppie set from Paperie Ink and colored with Copic markers!

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello!

Day four of the Online Card Classes Merry Making! Today was all about Die cutting, and again I did not have any of the items required to make the cards showcased in class. But I was so inspired by Nichole´s card and this is my take on it!

At first I thought to myself that I wouldn´t be able to participate this day either, but then I started to think...I do have reindeer stamps and trees, I can make slopes using my border dies, a background with falling snow and a moon is easy to make using distress inks and a circle die! Well, no die cutting except for the slopes and the moon, but I am so happy with how this card turned out anyway!

The reindeer stamps and the trees are from the "Let´s prance" and the "On thin ice" sets from Clearly Besotted, colored with Copic markers!

The background is made using Distress inks in colors Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire, this is the combo I usually use for winter skies! To make the falling snow, I dabbed a wet brush over my Distress inked panel in order to create some droplets. On top of the droplets I used the "Falling snow" stencil from Simon Says Stamp, Versa Mark Ink and white embossing powder from Ranger and heat embossed it with my heat tool!

Last week I signed up for a Christmas Card Swap over at Kit and Clowder, I have
decided that I am going to send this card to my "Christmas Card Swap Friend"!

I am about to start making my Christmas Cards for this year, and I will be making a few extra, if you would like a chance to recieve a Christmas card from me, please e-mail me your adress! I will pick five persons randomly, internationals welcome!

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello!

Day 3 of the Online Card Classes Merry Making. I didn´t make any card for day 2 as I didn´t have any of the items used in class or even something similar. But great tips and tricks were shared and I especially loved Jennifer´s cards!

Today´s card was inspired by Gina K.

The feathers from Clearly Besotted and the sentiment stamp from Stampendous were heat embossed, I used a warm gold embossing powder from Ranger.

I wanted to add something more to my very CAS card and I tried a gold ribbon and a bow as Gina did on one of her cards, but eventually added some sequins instead!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Hi!

This is my very first time playing along the Tag You´re It! Challenge,
and the inspiration photo is this...

My inspiration when making my tag was the black and white stripes and of course
the color combination of black and white and the pop of red!
I love adding stripes to any project of mine, cards or tags!

For this tag I have used my favorite little Elf from the Birdie Brown " Santa´s Elves" set from My Favorite Things! I just colored him " black and white" and let his buttons and the Christmas tree ornament pop in bright red, using Copic markers! The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

To add to the theme I attached a red ribbon and a black and white striped twine bow!

The striped part is a strip of tape (washi maybe?!) from Heidi Swapp,
my best HS purchase ever!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello!

First day of the new class "Merry Making", from Online Card Classes!

For today´s homework I chose to go for the card Kristina made, with a few
twists as I didn´t have all the supplies she used when making her card. 

So... this is my take on it. It was so much fun making this background and the circles/bubbles! Even though I didn´t use watercolor paper it turned out pretty well. It warped a little when heat setting it with the heat gun but I adhered the panel using some extra strips of double sided tape.

I have two different kinds of snow flake stamps, one smaller and one bigger, looking pretty much the same, Kristina used three different snow flakes inn various sizes
and shapes for her card and it looked so beautiful.
That might be something I will consider to add to my collection of stamps for
next year, more snow flake stamps, in different sizes and shapes!

The snow flakes, from Inkido and the sentiment, from the "Christmas Wishes" set from Stampendous were heat embossed using white and clear embossing powder. I added a black mat to frame my panel and added it to a light turquoise card base.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello!

Last fall I almost purchased this adorable stamp set "Let´s prance" from Clearly Besotted,
but at the last minute I changed my mind and I have regretted that decision ever since.

A few weeks ago Clearly Besotted had a sale...and now, here they are!

The trees come from another stamp set, "On thin ice" also from Clearly Besotted.

I have inked a very soft and subtle blue sky using Distress Ink, in Tumbled Glass,
behind the trees and the reindeer.

The reindeer and the trees are colored with Copic markers, I added some Stickles
glitter glue to the trees to get a snowy sparkle!

The "Merry Christmas" sentiment is also from the "On thin ice" set.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Hi!

I have had so much fun playing with Mr. Dracula making both cards and tags.
This is my latest card, made with red details this time!

This super adorable vampire stamp comes from the "Dracula I compel you" set
from Whimsy Stamps.

I really like his little bat balloon/friend on the string! I colored the eyes a little bit different on this card compared to the tags and I like this technique better! Using the colorless blender made the red turn into blood shot eyes! And by adding Glossy Accents they look spooktacular! I also added a layer of Glossy to the bat as well!

All coloring is made using Copic markers, and lots of colorless blender!

Thank you for stopping by, wishing you a great week!

Hello!

Today I share a card, using a stamp I have used many times before, Uptown Girls "Victoria and Juliette" from Stampingbella. And I thought I´d share my work progress when making this card!

This was actually my coloring from day 14 of the Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge, I was really pleased with how the folds on their dresses turned out so I decided to keep going and make a card out of my coloring! My idea for this card was to incorporate a circle...

At first I wasn´t sure if I was even going to keep their legs, but I decided to
keep going and color them!

I stamped the image again, this time on masking paper, to create a mask, but without their legs as I was putting the circle behind their torsos. I then cut out a circle using masking paper. 

Using Distress Inks I blended my circle, darker behind the girls and lighter
towards the edge of the circle.

As I didn´t cut every detail out in my masking paper, some areas were left white...

...I then filled in these white areas with Copic markers in similar colors!

I am really happy that I decide to save their legs!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hi!

I have made some tags, using the cute vampire from the "Dracula I compel You" set
from Whimsy Stamps. I have had this pink idea on my mind and of course I had to make
it in red as well!

I tried to make him extra spooky by making his eyes really blood shot and then
applied some Glossy Accent to them! 

Not much coloring on Mr. Vampire except his cape, a little grey to his skin and
some color on his bat friend!

Where I did color, I used Copic Markers!

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello!

When making this card I had soap bubbles on my mind! 

To make the bubbles I punched a hole in an full adhesive post-it note to use as a mask,
then using a blending tool, and very gently inked from the edges of the hole with
Distress Ink, yellow, pink and blue. I let the bubbles overlap each other.
I colored the dogs with Copic markers!

In each of the bubbles I stamped a tiny dog from the " Little Dog Agenda" set
from Mama Elephant. To finish off the card I stamped "Hello" to make the card
a bit more versatile to go with many occasions rather than a birthday card.

Thanks for stopping by!
