Stamp with Fun #61 DT project


Happy monday people! Another week is starting with a Stamp with Fun challenge. This week we´d like to see something a bit different, the theme is doorplates, so no cards this week please LOL.

I made my doorplate for my little girl Ella. I used WoJ´s Little nurse as my image and coloured it with Promarkers. The dp´s are from K&Company and DCWV. Added lots of embellishments to achieve a girlie girl look and I think I managed that quite well.

Have fun crafting!

Free digital image from Whiff of Joy!



Hello everyone! Alison Acton sure has made an excellent job at creating this super cool Henry image...and guess what, Katharina is giving it away for free as a digital image. So hop on over to her blog quickly to get your Henry fix.

I sure had fun colouring this image and making my card. It was kind of relaxing making a card for a boy...but who says Spiderman is just a boy thing...I think this image will be popular beyond gender and age. Ok, so I did the colouring with Promarkers and stamped some cardstock with my stempelglede stamps. I used lots of layers again and the dp is from Basic Grey.

Have a great weekend!

Stamp Something DT card and my bloghop candy winner



Hello and happy friday! It´s time to Stamp Something again. Our Stamp Something two year blogaversary hop has ended but we still have one more birthday challenge for all of you. This time we challenge you to follow a recipe: paper, ribbon, bow, and a tag.

I have kind of combined all those elements and made my image part of the card into a simple tag. I have used a Bildmalarna stamp as my image which leads me straight to this weeks lovely sponsor...and that sponsor is Jenny Lazslo of Bildmalarna. I have coloured my image with Promarkers as usual and the paper is from DCWV´s Linen Closet stack.

I guess I should now get to the part of which you all are waiting, my bloghop candy winner that is. So the winner (chosen at random) of my secret candy is...

Happy wednesday! It´s time to set another Karen´s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge. This week we have a recipe to follow: 3 flowers, 2 pattern papers, 1 lace or ribbon.

If you take just a quick look you might wonder where my second paper is, trust me it is there...I just managed to cover most of it with the tag, flowers and ribbon.

Karen´s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge #11...Butterflies



Summer is here! The weather sure has been brilliant these past few days, atleast here in Finland that is. We are now on wednesday and it´s time to set another Karen´s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge. This week we have butterflies as our theme, what better theme for these summery days.

I chose Butterfly Girl for my card and coloured the image with Promarkers. The paper are from Papermania and the sentiment is from Whiff of Joy. I have coloured the satin ribbon with Promarkers also. I guess that was it, I´ll go and enjoy the sunny weather.

I think you should know the drill...use a Karen´s Doodles image and your set to go. Have fun crafting!

I used some new papers from DCWV, they are from the Linen Closet stack. I also did some stamping with my Stempelglede stamps. The gorgeous little doctor image is from Whiff of Joy´s Get Well collection. Isn´t he the cutest with his stetoscope. I did the colouring with promarkers and distressed all the edges with Tea dye Distress Ink. After that I just added some brads and pearls and my card was done.

Stamp Something DT card...something to celebrate




Happy friday! It´s time to Stamp Something...and this week with a theme of celebration. So get your party hats and balloons ready...let´s Celebrate!

We have Motivet as our sponsor and all of us at the DT got to play with their images. For my card I have used this funny little hedgehog with his big balloons, the image is perfect for a celebration. I did some paper piecing and coloured the hedgehog with Promarkers. The papers are from MME´s Bloom&Grow paper pad which has been sitting aside for a while as I have been doing some more vintage styled cards...I guess this was just the perfect spot to get that one out and do something different again.

Have a great weekend all! I hope the weather is everywhere as wonderfull as it is here in Finland at the moment, but if not that just means there´s an excuse to saty inside and do some stamping. See you later!

Karen´s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge #10 DT card



Howdy! It´s wednesday and time for another Karen´s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge. This week we have a colour challeneg for you...but wait there´s a twist...the colours depend on what country you live in! So colours we want to see come from your country´s flag. As I live in Finland it ment I had blue and white to work with (I just had to throw some brown into the mix as I usually do).

I thought this was e perfect opportunity to make a card for a boy so I chose to use Rootin´Tootin´Cowboy as my image and coloured it with Promarkers as always. My image was fairly big so I just wet with a simple layout and just layered my white, blue and brown cardstock and a lovely blue dp from Basic Grey. The corners of the dp I stamped again with my Stempelglede corner stamp (I guess I´ll be using that on just about each and every project I make ´till I get tired of it or it´s completely smooth LOL). Then I just added some brads, linen string and a sentiment to finish my card.

Now it´s your turn to start colouring you Karen´s Doodles image with the colours of your country´s flag...make a project of it and let us know. Have fun crafting!

Fabulous! Belles ´n Whistles DT Call



Belles ´n Whistles is having a DT Call and since I love just about anything Elisabeth Bell has created I thought I´d give it a go. My supply of BnW stamps is a bit limited at the moment but I´m hoping I can soon correct that LOL.

They were asking for something fabulous so here´s what I came up with. I kind of like my card a lot, used some cracked (or in this case shattered) glass technique and added lots of flowers and that gorgeous sparkling butterfly. The purple background paper also had glitter on it but after I stamped the corners with a Stempelglede corner stamp it kind of lost it´s sparkle. The image is Belle with laundry and I have coloured it with Promarkers.

I think I captured at least a glimmer of fabulous in my card but the picture though is far from fabulous, it came out somehow all pixelated, especially the image portion with the cracked UTEE...but if you don´t take a closer look there´s no harm done LOL.

Have a nice day and thanks for looking!

Stamp with Fun #58 DT card



Hello and happy monday! Here we are again with a new Stamp with Fun challenge. This week we have a great sketch to follow.

I made my card with cute Willow with chicken soup from Whiff of Joy´s new Get Well collection. I coloured my image with Promarkers and chose some dp´s from a Papermania paper pad. I layered my dp´s with two tones of cardstock and just threw a perfect sentiment and some flowers and pearls to the mix. Really simple I might say.

Now it´s your turn. Have fun crafting!

Magic moments



Just wanted to quickly share this cutie with you... the gorgeous image is from Whiff of Joy´s May Store Stamp Kit - Aladin (1001 Nights). I have coloured it with Promarkers and kept the card simple only using one dp from basic Grey as background and adding some lace and flowers to the mix.

Thanks for looking!

Little nurse to the rescue


These cuties have been waiting patiently on my desk. I should go to bed now so I´ll just let the pictures do the talking. The little nurse is from Whiff of Joy´s new Get well collection.





So there they were, a simple yet gorgeous card and a gift box. I guess you can tell I got some new goodies this week, I´m in love with my new Stempelglede corner stamp and the Spellbinders Nestabilities I finally bought.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

Stamp Something DT card...Birthday somethings



Hello and happy friday! It´s time to Stamp Something again...and this week we´d like to see some birthday creations.

Our sponsor this week is Whiff of Joy which leads me straight to my image choice. I used a mini sized shopping Willow (one of those extra stamps you might get with your order). I coloured her up with Promarkers and added a frame around the image. The papers are from MME´s Penny Lane glitter stack, gorgeous aren´t they.

I actually made this gift card holder for my sister´s birthday. It´s really hard trying to think of what to buy for a 26-year old and as I know my sister I would never have gotten it right LOL...so I thought a bit of shopping money was just in order. That way she can get whatever she likes.

Ok, so now it´s your turn to think of Birthdays and start making your creations. Have fun stamping!

Karen´s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge #9



It´s time to set a new Karen´s Doodles Scandinavian Challenge and this time we don´t want to see any cards...the theme is Anything but a card. This challenge is also a joint challenge so all the challenge blogs have the same theme.

So let´s get on to my project. I decided to finally decorate one of my cardboard boxes, so my project was a fairly simple one. I thought about covering all sides of the box with patterned papers but soon realized that the lid wouldn´t fit if I used papers to decorate the box itself. So I did some inking and stamping instead and quite like the end result. On the lid I then layered papers, cardstock and my image, which was one of Karen´s older images, Ride´em Cowgirl. I coloured it with Promarkers and stamped the corners of the dp with a corner stamp from Prima. Then just added a few pearls to the sidepanels and that was it.

Now it´s your turn to make something else than a card, just use a Karen´s Doodles image and your set to go. Have fun crafting!

Stamp with Fun #57 DT card



Hello stamping friends! It´s time to add some fun into your stamping...I mean it´s time to Stamp with Fun again. This weeks theme is as easy as "friends". Feel free to interpret the theme as you wish.

I used this lovely Karen´s Doodles image, it´s called Butterfly Boy. I have coloured my image with Promarkers as usual. The papers are from MME´s Wild Asparagus paper pad. As embellishment I only added some simple brads and a linen string, no flowers or pearls as there´s a boy in the image LOL...had to make the card cute though.

Have fun stamping!

Believe in the magic...



Hahaa! This little witch is offering us some love potion (see, there are hearts in the bottle). Just had to pair this cutie drawn by Norma Fickel with a sentiment from the April Stamp Kit - Scheherazade (1001 Nights). The little witch is a part of Whiff of Joy´s new Get Well collection that was released yesterday.

I tried colouring with distress inks for a change but soon realized it wasn´t the colouring medium for me and did some retouching with Promarkers. I almost threw my image away, but then I found the perfect Basic Grey papers to balance it out. In the end my card turned out just fine, I kind of like it a lot now.

Whiff of Joy Get Well collection



Whiff of Joy´s Get Well collection is now ready for sale. Go check all the new stamps at the store.

Here´s one of the designs by Norma Fickel, this one is called "I feel better in the morning". I have coloured the image with Promarkers and used papers from Papermania pad. I went with a really simple layout, but I think it works well with this image.

Later!
