December Waffle Flower Challenge

 

Hi friends!

I'm here with a super quick post to share a card I made for the December challenge at Waffle Flower blog. This challenge is all about winter birthdays and the timing was perfect -I needed a card for my crafting buddy Milla , she celebrated her birthday on the 15th. All sorts of Christmas preparations have taken up my time so that I'm sharing my card here only now... But better late than never and at least the challenge is still running lol! So, I'm inspired of the theme of the first week of the challenge although the third week is already running. :) I'm using WF poinsettia stamps and dies along with a sentiment from another floral set. I've colored the images with a combination of Copics and Altenew markers. The background die is by Catherine Pooler and the oval is by SSS if I remember right. Hope you like and thank you so much for popping by! Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating! xxx

New Challenge at Time Out!

Hi friends!

It's time for the second last challenge of 2021 at Time Out! This time we have chosen a pretty wide theme: Inspiration.

The challenge is sponsored by Newton's Nook! Play along for a chance to win a gift voucher and to be called to guest design for us! This time our talented GD is Cindy and she has made the cutest wintry card for us. Don't miss Cindy's card, all the challenge details and more DT inspiration, click HERE! 

My card was inspired by a card by the owner and designer of Heidin Korttipaja, a Finnish company whose sentiment die I'm also using in this card. She had done such fun inking on the sentiment die to match her card panel that I just had to try it out! Loved the sparkly snowflakes on her card too. Have a look at the card at Instagram:

New Challenge at Time Out!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for Time Out where we this time have a fun photo inspiration challenge for you:

This challenge is sponsored by one of our regular supporters, STAMPlorations, with a $25 voucher to their store. As always our winner also gets to guest design for us -this time our GD is Bobby whose style we absolutely love! Don't miss Bobby's card or any of the DT inspiration and challenge details, click HERE.

I made a super quick and simple Christmas card using dies and patterned paper. I was most inspired by the woodgrain in the tray, the text on the wall art and the overall color scheme. The poinsettia die is by Altenew.

Cards for Waffle Flower November Challenge!

Hi friends!

I'm here to share three cards I made for the "Most Wonderful Time" challenge that is running for the month of November at Waffle Flower blog. It's the second week of the challenge where we are encouraged to use non traditional holiday colors... And I think my two first cards fit that category very well! The die I'm using is called "Winter Floral Panel Die".  Along with the die I'm using different kinds of glitter/mirror card stocks combined with regular card. 

Card 1

Red and pink glittery mirror card.... And sparkly black card stock. This card has quite a bit of dimension, all the colorful bits are raised.

Card 2 

Rainbow glitter mirror card with regular purple and green card. Quite a bit of dimension in the flower again!

Card 3

In this card I've used the same pink and red card for the flower than in the first one -just the opposite pieces. No fancy glitter card wasted! :) In this the pieces are inlaid so it will be very easy to mail!

New Challenge at AAA Birthday Card Challeges!

Hi friends!

This autumn is just flying by and we are already at November!!! The first month of the month means that we have a new month long challenge beginning for you at AAA Birthday and this time we want to see birthday cards with animals! My penguins are technically birds hmmm... But part of the animal kingdom, right? :) Please head on over to our challenge blog for more DT inspiration and all the challenge details. 

In my mini slimline card I've created a little CAS scene -apart from the added die cut heart embellies the card front is all one layer. This simple color palette is quite pleasing to the eye I think!

Thank you for popping by and I hope to see you playing along in our challenge!
