JOY!

I loved this week’s trigger over at the Moxie Fab World!

The rustic white and all the colorful ornaments spoke to me and I decided to go for a CAS card using the Christmas Tree Trimmers from YouDo.

The stamp used is from Prickley Pear – Victorian Ornaments Clear Stamps Set – and stamped with silver ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Card Patterns #144

Hi!

There is a new fun sketch up over at Card Patterns!

The sponsor is My Craft Spot

And they carry the best twine and hand dyed ribbon there is! :)

Here is my take.

I used the new Warren & Friends stamp from The Rubber Café called Cuteness! Donovan & Warren. I adore these two.

A little close up. I colored it with Distress inks and added some glossy accents on their noses and eyes. And some glitter pen sparkle on the presents and ribbons.

And when I had my inks and stamps at hand, I made another CAS card. This time with the Deck the Halls stamp.

I teamed him up with some Spellbinders nestabilities – Circles and Lacey Circles. I thought he was so cute and I liked the cleanness of the card so I didn’t want to mess the front with a sentiment. I put it inside instead.

Both sentiment and image are from the Christmas Tidings set.

We had an hour of garden work this morning. It was absolute horror. Trying to catch the leafs in a storm isn’t easy. But that’s what happens when you are a master in procrastination. At one point you HAVE to do it. (and that point was met like three weeks ago but we haven’t been home…). Anyway, it’s done and my boy and I spent the rest of the day with baking ginger bread. Love this yearly tradition, we play Christmas music, goof around and make awesome ginger breads!  

He needs a hair cut. AGAIN!

Now We’re off to a Harry Potter Movie Marathon. Need to get some pop corns popping!

Riddersholm’s Sketch Challenge #3

Happy Friday!!!

It’s wonderful to see the end of this week coming! :) It’s been a good one. Lots of work and actually had some time to make a few cards too! :) And play with my boy. He told me yesterday after an evening spent at the shooting range that he likes to hang with me. I do believe it’s the ice cream treat talking. But still…

It’s time to reveal this weeks sketch over at Riddersholm!

I so loved working with this sketch! Fun and so many possibilities. I actually tweaked it quite a bit but I think you still see the main elements in it!

For my card I teamed up my two favorite products – Riddersholm Design’s papers and Prickley Pear stamps. Yummy! With the addition of a new fabbie doily die!

I simply adore these snowflake papers in white, beige and purple from the I believe line!

Check out the wintery butterfly! It’s from the Clearly Beautiful Butterflis Set from Prickley Pear. It’s heat embossed with color box ink and clear embossing powder. Love the beautiful snowflakes and the text that reads Hope Love Joy!

We hope that you will play with us! All info about the challenge can be found HERE!

I decided to ink up one of all the beautiful stamps I got in my welcoming package but never had time to use since I was sprinkled with new stamps every month… :)

I've used the Regal Poinsettia 2 PreCut Set and a sentiment from the Holiday Poinsettia Candle PreCut Set.

Lots of gold and dimension on this card. I love the MME papers!!!

Here is a close up of the sentiment. It's gold embossed on the kraft paper. It's more visible irl. I went over it with a copic too to make it stand out more.

Card Patterns #143

Hi! Happy Saturday! Hope you are having a great weekend! We do -  visiting my parents. We’ve spent the day with games, a walk in some mighty windy weather (storm coming tomorrow!) and some crafting. My mom and I did a never ending card for a friend. Now a delish dinner of lamb and wine awaits. Yummy!!!

I LOOOOVE the sketch of the week over at Card Patterns!

And we have a great new sponsor – The Craft’s Meow

The stamps sent to me hasn’t arrived yet, stupid, stupid postal service! :( But check out the Card Pattern’s blog cause the rest of the team has used som mighty fab clear stamps from the Craft’s Meow on their cards!!!

Here is my take:

The stamp is A Wish for Peace from Prickley Pear. It’s heat embossed with gold embossing powder. The paper is from Jillibean Soup.

Riddersholm’s Sketch challenge #2

 

Riddersholm Design is hosting a sketch challenge every week until Christmas. A perfect inspiration for your seasonal card making! :)

Here is the sketch:

I used a paper from the The Day Before line called The Presents and also a Tag from The Day Before Cut Out sheet.

You find all the infor and more inspiration from the Design Team in THIS post.

Hope to see you play!!!!

And speaking about fabbie Riddersholm Design papers, here is a card set I did using the In Santa paper from the I Believe line.

The stamps are from The Rubber Café, the Warm Wishes Set. I found the tutorial for the pouch (which was super easy and fun to make) on SCS, and it contains three cards and home made envelopes to go.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

The Rubber Café Stuff :)

Hi all! Phew what a crazy week. Soon over, that is gooood! :)

I’ve been a bad The Rubber Café blogger, I have quite a few things to share, that should have been up weeks ago. Anyway, better late than never! I’ll start with a new card though. I got me a bunch of Warren stamps the other day – and they are super CUTE!!!!

So simple, but I didn’t really have the time but felt the urge to ink this cutie up and color him. This stamp is called Presents from Warren. :)

Next up is a gift box with the Pine Wreath.

And finally an ornament using the Winter Bird.

The stamps are truly amazing, and a little tip for European readers – I think The Rubber Café has the best international shipping around.  A flat rate of $ 1.99 up to orders of 1,8 kg! Just sayin’!

Thanks for stopping by!
