Pop Up Card

The challenge at 365 cards is a ad challenge. I love ad challenges. A lot. (Check out my Bloggparty Challenge if you want proof and a chance to win! English instructions can be found at the end of the post).

I decided to make a Pop Up card in a new way. I found the tutorial at Rubber Road Adventure and I love the folding. I’ll make more for sure!

Recipe: Paper; Coredination. Stamps; The Rubber Café. Ink; Versa Fine, Distress Ink. Copics. EK Success punch, stickles, ribbon.

Edit: My inspiration from the ad was: The dots, the brown and orange color, the divided design, the leaves.

All the stamps are from The Rubber Café, the Trick or Treat clear stamp set.

Don’t forget the Moxie Fab World Blog Tour that have it’s final Hop today, but you will have until Sunday to participate to win fab prizes! And tomorrow it’s the big day! World Card Making Day!

Have a lovely Friday!

Super Sketchy Sunday (on a Monday!)

We had a lovely weekend visiting friends, playing games (did you know I totally ROCK when comes to Bowling? Me neither!) and eating and drinking goood stuff. I did make a card late last night - we can’t have a whole weekend without crafting, now can we??? But with no daylight in sight I wasn’t able to taka a decen photo until now. The sketch at 365 cards was fab as always!

Recipe: Papers; Bazzill, Prima. Stamps; Firecracker Designs. Retro punch and Kaiser Kraft black pearl and some stuff from my stash.

I’ve used my Yoga stamps from Firecracker Designs again. Can’t get enough of them. LOL! And since I totally killed all competition in the Bowling the other day, I might have my Chakras aligned after all!! And I think my Chakras might be pink, so I used the most pink paper I could find.

And I've also done today's challenge - to use fringe. Hope this is a fringe. LOL.

Recipe: Paper; Bazzill, Dream Street Papers, Graphic 45. Stamps; Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps. Ink; Versa Fine, Distress Ink. ATC trancparency; Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps. Stickles.

On this card. I've used a couple of stamps and a trancperancy from Prickley Pear Rubber stamps. Love the trancperancy, it was so much fun - and EASY!!! I used some stickles to glue it down which makes the bird and the flowers sparkle a bit. Looks great. LOL!

Today is the starting day for the World Card Making Day Countdown Blog Hop (phew…)! It will contain cards from card makers all over the world and totally crazy prizes from the major manufacturers. Sounds interesting? Check the blog post out HERE!!!

Have a wonderful day!

Saturday morning…

…is my favorite part of the week. We are on our way to visit dear friends over the weekend, but I managed making a card. It’s for two challenges, the 365 cards challenge (sanding the edges) and Dutch Dare challenge (using a charm).

I played with my new Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps. Well, I’m off. Hubby is annoyed. He thinks I should be packning… He might be right…

I’m in RUBBER HEAVEN!

I got the most awesome stamps yesterday from Prickley Pear. Lots of rubber. I’ve been longing to go home all day today. Specially since the 365 cards challenge today is a SUPER one.  We get to choose one challenge from June, July and August and combine it for today’s card. LOVE that!

I choose:

June: Day 199 - Silhouettes

July: Day 149 - Sponging

August: Day 180 – Going Vintage

Recipe: Paper; Daisy Bucket, Fancy Pants. Stamps; Prickley Pear. Flowers; Prima. Tag; 7 gypsies.

Great combination of challenges for me! And I actually like the result. Some. Tonight I’ll be making invitations. After I get home from school and the parental meeting. Not my fav thing to do…

Bidrag till Bloggparty

Min kära mor har gjort ett bidrag till min utmaning i Bloggparty. Eftersom hon inte har någon blogg (VARFÖR???) så fick jag bidraget, detta jättefina kort, via mail denna morgon.

My dear mother has made a card for my Bloggparty Challenge. She doesn't have a blog, so she mailed me this lovely card this morning.
