Hello!

For this card I made a little kitty choir, using "Singing Napoleon" from Magnolia stamps!  

The sentiment stamp is from the "Christmas Circular Sentiments" set from
Lily of the Valley. A lovely set with twelve different Holiday sentiments.

The cats are colored with Copic markers and the  
background is colored with Distress inks.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello!

I use these cool cats often! These tags are a repeat of some tags I made last year,
but with some smaller changes! I love the dramatic effect of the white brick wall against the black and the combination of black and red! And the black and white twine is my favorite go to, as it goes with almost everything!

The kittens are from the "Cool Cat" set from Birdie Brown and My Favorite Things,
they are colored with Copic Markers. I have used a tag die from the "Terrific Tag" die set (six pieces! This is the second largest) from Bo Bunny. The sentiment is from the "On thin ice" set from Clearly Besotted, the little paw print is from the puppy stamp set from Paperie Ink!

The brick wall is made using white ink and the "Small brick wall" stencil also from
My Favorite Things and a sponge dauber!

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello!

Meet Miss December! A digi stamp from the Thoroughly Modern Misses Collection
from Lily of  the Valley Stamps!

Miss December is colored with Copic markers and the background is colored using Distress Inks. The stars are heat embossed using the "Confetti" stencil from Heidi Swapp, Versamark emboss ink and embossing powder.

I have added Stickles to the wreath and the ribbons on the gift boxes and some
dots of Glossy accent on the red berries on the wreath.

I love the dramatic mix of red and pink on her pants and jacket,
and aren´t her Ugg-ish boots cute!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Hello!

It seems I can´t get enough of these adorable little reindeer!

The reindeer (one out of three) is from the stamp set "Let´s prance" and the trees are
from the set "On thin ice", both sets are from Clearly Besotted! Perfect size on
these small reindeer and very useful for many projects!

The images are colored with Copic markers and the sky is colored
with Distress Ink, Tumbled Glass. 

I have added Stickles to the trees (the white areas only) to make them
glisten and  look snowy!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hi!

I had sooo much fun making these tags!

"Singing Napoleon" from Magnolia Stamps is the most adorable Holiday kitten!

Napoleon is colored with Copic markers and the background is
colored using Distress inks.

I have used my new tag die from Gina K, one of four from the "Decorative Tag Set". 
I didn´t remove the die when inking the tags with Distress Inks,
as I wanted a white frame on these tags!

I went back and forth about whether to stamp a sentiment or not on the tags
and eventually I decided not to. But I was really tempted to add a "Holy Night..." sentiment, as you can almost hear them sing!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello!

Custom order card!

For this card I have been using a free digital stamp from Heffydoodle!
This image was perfect as this card was sent as a "change of adress/I have moved" card.
Where I live our mail boxes are yellow!

Images colored with Copic markers, background colored using Distress Inks and some Stickles were added to the flowers!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello!

This is one of my more non traditional Holiday cards in
terms of color, using an aqua colored card base!

I couldn´t resist these cuddling cuties, sharing the same scarf! 

The stamp is "Merry Kisses" from Neat and Tangled, 
colored with Copic markers.

A lot of my Holiday cards this year has this Distress inked sky,
I love the smooth result of the ink blending!

The stars are made using the Heidi Swapp "Confetti" stencil, Versafine ink, 
embossing powder and they are heat embossed.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Hello!

This is one of the stamps I go back to every year! Maybe because its not too
"Christmassy" and it can be used for New Years greetings as well!

The Uptown Girl stamp "Savannah has a star" is from Stampingbella!

This year I decided to color the dresses in both green, pink and teal, instead of
traditional green only!

I have colored the images with Copic markers, and added lots of glitter (Stickles) all over the dresses and a coat of Glossy Accent to the garlands and the Christmas ornamnents!

The photos does not make the glitter justice as the dresses really are glistening!

Thank you for stopping by!

Hi!

At the very last minute I am playing along in this week´s Freshly Made Sketches challenge!

Above is the sketch to follow...and below is my card!

As you can see in my last blog post, that card was also in a way inspired by this sketch!
For my entry I am using the same background and incorporating the
penguin in the corner of the rectangle.

The background is made using the "Falling snow" stencil from Simon Says Stamp, emboss ink, embossing powder, heat tool and Distress inks! The penguin is colored with Copic markers.

The penguin stamp and the sentiment is from the "Winter penguin" set from Lawn Fawn.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello!

I am busy making Christmas cards over here!
And what a delight to discover this adorable Holiday/Christmassy digi stamp! 

This is my first ever digi stamp; meet Miss January from the
"Thoroughly Modern Misses" line from Lily of the Valley Stamps.

All brand new and there are 12 different misses to chose from! 
I love these versatile images! 
Lots of skin, hair and fun clothes to color!

I colored Miss January with Copic markers and cut her out using my Scan N Cut. The background I made using the largest of the dies from the "Deckled Rectangles Dies" set from Spellbinders. I used the die to create a "frame", die cutting a piece of card stock.

I used a stencil, "Falling Snow" from Simon Says Stamp, Versamark emboss Ink and white embossing powder for the snow flakes, , heat embossed and then I inked up the area using Distress Inks over the falling snow to get that snowy sky!  

The sentiment stamp is also from Lily of The Valley,
from the clear stamp set "Christmas Circular Sentiments". 

I decided to let Miss January have stripes on her coat for this card! And I love to mix
bright colors and a little unexpected color combinations!

Thank you for stopping by today!

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!
