Let it Snow!

Today it’s my turn to blog on The Rubber Café Blog – Pugnacious Stamps- and showcase the New Christmas Line. And the line is amazing. It contains old friends in wintery atmospheres as well as new acquaintances. I have loved the Labrador since the first day I saw him earlier this year (with a trick or treat bag – check out that cutie used on a Halloween card HERE) and I was so happy to find him with friends in the DT kit I was sent! He is pure joy! LOL! And here is the first card I’ve made with the set of four stamps called Winter Fun Labrador.

He is colored with distress ink and cut out and then mounted with 3D foam. I stamped the white cardstock with the background stamp It’s a Blizzard Outside. To get a really soft stamped result, I used Distress Ink Broken China and when inked up, I stamped once on a piece of scrap paper and then a second time on the card stock. The sentiment is from the two piece set Baby it’s cold outside.

Have you ever tried Fun Flock? I did it for the first time with this card, and it was super fun. It added a touch of sparkling snow to the card as a finishing touch! And if you want to see more of the new line of Christmas Stamps from Rubber Café, you should check the Pugnacious Stamps blog out. HERE.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great new week, and PLEASE let it SNOW!!!

Kyle Regerar

Jag säger bara Sissela Kyle! Tusan vad bra hon ÄR! Vi hade en fantastisk helkväll igår med supergod mat (har ni vägarna förbi Karlstad kan jag rekommendera en 16 rätters meze meny på Habibi!) och många, långa och hysteriska skratt till Kyle och Sami AlFakir. Sitter här fortfarande med stort leende på läpparna och inser att vi gör sånthärnt och såntdärnt ALLDELES för sällan.

We had a GREAT night yesterday. We decided on a 16 courses meze menu with scampi, lamb, olives, feta, and God knows what. Yummy, and the show was great and the beer tasted like heaven. I think I’ll date my hubby more often.

This morning I made a card for MIL. I’ll send it to her today along with J’s wish list. I got this AMAZING glittery thick DCWV paper from Anna’s Scrapbooking last weekend. Love it to bits, but it wasn’t that easy to work with. But I had this deep blue glittery embossing powder that saved me some.  This is my take on the 365 cards Super Sketchy Sunday challenge.

I’ll go search for some purple. Think I have some Wisteria papers left somewhere. Sketchy Colors launched their first ever challenge today, and wow, the DT’s outdid themselves and I’m totally inspired. To use purple. Sounds weird, I know, but go have a look and you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Have the best of Sundays!

We’re going OUT!

Wohoo, hubby and I are going out for dinner and theater tonight. It’s something we do like once in a decade… Well, if not once in a decade, for sure way to seldom. It will be soooo much fun. We’re having meze. Love, love, love meze! J is sleeping over at a friend’s house and he is happy too.

We’ve had a fun but hectic day so far. We baked some ginger bread this morning, and cleaned the house and did some advent decoration.

I love the smell of a clean house and newly baked ginger bread. Yummy. And the candles. All I want now is for that awful rain to stop. NOW!

I made a card this afternoon too. There are a couple of birthday parties coming up. I’ve used the sketch at Basic Grey Challenges and the patterned papers are all from the Nook & Pantry line.

I also made this card for the day 273 at 365 cards – pretty patterns. The pretty pattern in question is the damask. And it sure is pretty. I’ve had this damask clear stamp set for a year or so. I saw Ulrika use it in AMAZING ways, so I had to get it. Check THIS out. But… well, lets say it’s been tucked away ever since… And now I’m happy it’s out in the open, I’ll use it again soon.

I’m off for our night out! Have a great weekend all!

A Partridge in a Pear tree

The Christmas Cards continue to pile up around here. I think I might need a break this weekend and do something else… LOL! But today I have yet another Christmas Themed card, based on the Friday Sketchers sketch #80.

At once I saw the sketch I knew I wanted to use the Partridge in a Pear Tree stamp from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps. I think this stamp is magnificent. The patterned papers are Basic Grey and the punches are from MS. I also tried the day 272 – Crossing the lines challenge at 365 cards.

Happy Friday, and for you in the US – have a great Black Friday!

PINK…

….is, according to Ulrika, the new red. And I’m inclined to agree.  Ulrika is challenging her blog readers to make a pink Christmas card and I’m game! I did another easel card.

Råååååsa är underbart!!! Hoppas bara att det är rosa nog.

Uppfälld ser den ut såhär.

Och så en liten detaljbild.  

Happy Thanksgiving!
