Happy Monday!

I have a quick card to share today. I am working from home and treated myself with an hour lunch break spent by my craft table. I love my work! :)

It’s another Christmas card, I’m playing along with Jingle Belles again this week.

The challenge prompt is We Three Kings – to use at least three patterned papers. I used some fab Christmas Song papers from Riddersholm Design. The stamps and die are from Heartfelt Creations.

I used this week’s sketch from Mojo Monday. Love it! :)

And I’m entering it in Simon Says Wednesday Challenge – anything goes.

Back to work for another hour or so. Have a great new week!

Together

Happy Wednesday! I’m up on the Reprint blog today with a card made of a paper I totally adore. Love, love, love the soft text pattern and the rose buds along the edges. I knew I’d use it at once I saw retrosketches #133.

The sentiment and butterflies are embossed with copper. Kept the design clean to let the paper and embossed stamps shine.

Here is the fab sketch:

I have a second card to share. I’ve been playing with my Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps. It was a long time ago and I’ve missed them. I teamed up a few of my favorite sets and had some fun.

I used this great sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches:

I’m also entering the card in Creatalicious Challenge – flowers. I meant to use a lot more flowers, but the clean gene hit me. On the other side, the one flower is the center. :)

Thank you for stopping by! Have a fab day!

Happy Holidays

Hello everyone! Happy Friday!

I’ve started on my Christmas cards. Love making them, they are my favorite themed card. It was pure joy to bring out the holiday stash. I found this beautiful MME paper which I’ve hoarded for I don’t know how long.Three years or. Time to use it! :)

I’ve used Amy’s fab sketch from Jingle Belles.

It’s a great one – perfect for clean and simple and quick cards (this one took like 15 minutes). Most of the card is done once the paper is glued down to the card base. I added a stamp and some lace and twine. Done.

My second card is this week’s Reprint project. I used the cutest little bear stamp and Reprint Basic Collection Pastel 6x6.

 

A close up. :) I stamped the bear twice, colored it with distress ink and layered them to get some action.

Have a fab day!

To a beautiful you

Happy Thursday everyone! The week is halfway done and it feels good. Busy week for sure! But since my mojo is back, I’ve been sure to save up some time to make a few cards. Here is one of them. I had totally fun bringing out my mists and stencils. :)

The medallion is a clear stamp and one of the first I ever bought 6 or 7 years ago. It is still a favorite and I’ve used it over and over again. The sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations. Totally love it!

I’m playing with Poppy Sketch #13. Great colors, great sketch! Have to play!

And now I have to work!

Have a great day!

Best mom in the world

My mother is the best and she’s having a difficult time. Thought I’d send her some love.

I’m a bit rusty and my try at a shabby chick look is not the best ever. I think (hope) she likes it anyway. I pulled out some old favorites – papers, flower stamps and flower dies from Heartfelt creations and some sadly neglected sets from PTI.

I used sketch #92 from CAS(E) this sketch. Not much of a CAS card, but the sketch was great. And I’m not playing anyway. :)

Today is election day here in Sweden. I’ve always found this day special, it’s a celebration of our democracy. I hope the result will prove that openness and tolerance still rules and that we do not want any of the small minded intolerance of the SD!

Have a beautiful day!

Thank you!

Mojo hit me yesterday. Wasn’t sure it would ever return so I’m really happy. And now I’ve made three cards. I doubled this year’s card production in two hours… Hope it will stay! First card is for my mother’s neighbors. They are the most amazing people ever and I will never be able to thank them enough for all the support and love they spread.

I’ve used the oh so wonderful Delicate Asters PreCut Set with coordinated dies from Heartfelt Creations. Perfect flower this time of year.

I used sketch #235 from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

Next card is made for Reprint. I’ve been an absent DT the past months but I intend to change that now. Info about the products can be found on the Reprint blog.

I’ll save the third one for another day. :)

Thanks for stopping by!
