New Challenge at Less Is More!

Hi friends!

We have a new challenge for you at Less Is More:

You could use metal objects, metal colors, foiling etc. 

Funky Fossil Designs continues as our August sponsor, play along for a chance to win a fabulous prize! All the challenge details and more DT inspiration in our challenge blog HERE. 

I chose steel and silver as my metallic inspiration. I die cut a PTI snowflake both from silver glitter card and from the steel grey card base and inlaid the snowlake flat to the card base. The CAS-ual Fridays greeting is heat embossed with silver powder, the photo doesn't really catch it... But it's ok to read IRL lol. :) A very simple and a very CAS Christmas card from me this time, I hope you like it. 

Thanks for popping by! 

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

I'm here with a DT card for the new challenge at Inkspirational where we want you to be inspired by this photo:

I chose the black and white patterns + the blue flower as my inspiration. When I added my card to our blog I noticed my DT buddy Anila had gone the same route! Great minds think alike lol! The flower is by W+9 and the sentiment, simply stamped, is by CAS-ual Fridays. I've colored the image with Copics and added lots of detail with gel pens. I also added blue sequins for embellies. Hope you like! 

Please head on over to our challenge blog for more DT inspiration and all the challenge details. 

I'd like to enter:

Simon Says Wednesday: Clean and Simple

(the coloring did take time but I hope all the white spaces makes this CAS anyway!)

Time Out Challenges Reminder!

HI friends!

I'm here with my DT card for the current challenge at Time Out where we challenge you to be Fashionable!

This challenge is sponsored by STAMPlorations. All challenge details, info about the prize and fabulous DT inspiration in our challenge blog HERE! Also remember to leave some love to our talented guest designer Jenny Martin. 

At first I had no idea what stamps or dies to grab for this challenge but then I came to think of making a card with something that is in fashion at the moment. I know that in home decor bold black and gold wall papers are very in... And in clothes big floral prints have been everywhere... So I chose this Chocolate Baroque background stamp and heat embossed it with gold on black card for a pretty dramatic card front! I cropped the image to show some white card base and  added a large Winnie and Walter die cut sentiment. That's all there is to this card! It came together very quickly but this wasn't the first version... This one I ended up liking. :) I hope you like it too! Thanks for popping by! 

New Challenge at Less Is More!

Hi friends!

I'm here with a quick card for the new challenge at Less Is More! No, our theme is not green... It's One Layer Stencils! So we need to see just one piece of card stock folded in half, no added layers... And lot's of white (or green...) space. :) 

This challenge and the month of August is sponsored by Funky Fossil Designs and I'm using their stencil with leaf images on my card. The leaves inspired me to make an all green card... I paired the stencil with stamps from Altenew. Simple masking and inking, stamping and paint splattering, that's all there is to this card! 

Please head on over to our challenge blog for all the challenge details and more inspiration from our fabulous design team! Thanks for popping by, happy weekend and happy crafting! 

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for the new challenge at Inkspirational: 

Our DT member Pia has chosen this fun topic, very suitable for the summer months when many of us are traveling on our vacations! A good friend of mine travels to different lighthouse islands every summer to stay there for a week or so and  to help to restore the lighthouse with a group of volunteers -quite an unique hobby! She is also one of my regular dog sitters an will come to help next week when I'm working my butt off.... So I made this card for her as a thank you card. All the dies came free with a papercrafting magazine and the sentiment stamps are by Uniko.  Hope you like and thanks for popping by!

Head on over to our challenge blog for all the challenge details and more DT inspiration. :)

All the die cutting is made with bits of left over card stock so I'm entering Pixie's Crafty Snippets #358! Also entering Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: die cutting. 

Time Out Challenges Reminder

Hi friends!

I'm here to remind you of our current challenge at Time Out. We have one of our theme challenges for you and this time the theme is Relaxation. If you choose to use our Optional Twist and make a one layer card you have a chance to win a $25 voucher to our sponsor Newton's Nook! 

In my card I'm using Newton's Book Club stamps and Newton's Book Club dies. I find reading very relaxing and even more so when reading next to someone you really like! :) For the background I used an Echo Park backgorund stamp, stamped with white pigment ink on navy card for a subtle night sky. The Newton image is colored with Copics.  I added a paper strip with black lines to the left edge of the card, I felt it needed some black. :) I hope you like it, I think it turned out very cute!

Please head on over to our challenge blog for all the challenge details and for more inspiration from our design team and guest designer Marieke . Play along and you could be chosen to guest design as well! Happy crafting!
