In my card I've used an old Winnie and Walter stamp with matching die. I decided to make a shaker card -not something that happens often! The shaky pieces are stunning embellishments from a Picket Fence sequin mix and they are so sparkly and iridescent, love them!! I'm however a bit unsure if I can send this to anyone... I was out of habit of making a shaker and I didn't remember how well you must glue/tape your pieces together -Some of my smallest pieces want to fly out when I shake lol. Well -I can leave it to myself as an inspiration piece to remind me to be very good with adhesive!!! The cover plate die is by Birch Press Design. 

Thank you for popping by and I hope to see you joining us! 

 

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

I'm here sharing my DT card for Inkspirational where we for the next fortnight are inspired by this amazing moodboard:

You could use al photos or just one photo/ some photos as your starting point. In our challenge blog HERE you'll find lots of more DT inspiration and all the challenge details!

I went with the color palette of brown, cream and reds and chose hearts as my motives. The big die cut hears are made with a Simon Says stamp die, sentiments also by SSS. Small dies are Winnie and Walter and the slimline die is by Marianne Design. I apologize for the awful colors of this photo, I assure you it's a cute card IRL... Lighting situation of winter Finland where not working for my advance in this one!!

Thank you for popping by and I hope to see you joining us!

New Challenge at AAA Birthday!

Hi friends!

Welcome to a new challenge at AAA Birthday Card Challenges where we have a fun an easy topic for June: Flowers. Remember we only allow birthday cards in our challenge!

My card is made with a super old stencil, no idea who is the maker of the it... I've used Karin markers for watercoloring the image. The sentiment is Finnish language and says "congratulating you". I've die cut my panel with Winnie and Walter rectangle dies. I kept the card very CAS to give all the attention to the beautiful flower! 

Please head on over to our challenge blog for all the challenge details and lots of more DT inspiration. I hope to see you joining us! 

 

New Challenge at AAA Birthday Cards!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT project for AAA Birthday Card Challenge where in the month of September we want to see something else than cards! 

I have made a little bookmark with a die cut birthday sentiment that is loosely attached to the strings -the recipient can easily remove it and use this as a regular bookmark. This was fun to make! The heat embossed floral image is by Altenew, so is the slimline die, the dies I used for the hole come from Winnie and Walter. Sentiment by STAMPlorations. Attaching the wooden beads was a bit fiddly but I did succeed with them in the end! :)

Please head on over to our challenge blog with more DT inspiration and for all the information on how to play long. Thanks for popping by! 

 

New Challenge at Time Out!

Hi friends!

I'm here to share my DT card for the new challenge at Time Out where we are inspired by this photo:

Lots to be inspired there, right! I chose the color scheme of the photo + the wreath on the wall made me grab the Spring Frame digi by Alex Syberia Design. I colored the image with Copics and added lots of paint splatters in white, black and yellow. I don't know why my mind goes to a jungle when I look at the final result! :) 

This challenge is sponsored by Uniko with an in stock stamp set of our winner's choice! Yay! Our winner will also be called to guest design in a future challenge -this time our fabulous guest is Ana. Play along for a chance to win the amazing prize and to join us in the future! 

I'd like to join:

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

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

Well I don't know how naughty my little MFT polar bears are... Might be they are more nice than naughty... Or maybe the one raising his hand is guilty of doing something he should not have? At least he is guilty for being super cute if nothing else! 

I created my card inspired by the two current challenges at My Favorite Things:

The sketch challenge

The color challenge

I know the style of this card is unusual for me but I really enjoyed playing with designer paper and finding the best layout for the bears... So I'm happy I stepped out of my comfort zone! I added color and shading to the bears with watercolor and pens. I hope you like and thanks for popping by! I can't wait to see your 'naughty' creations at Inkspirational!

Guest Designing at Uniko: 2nd card!

Hi friends!

I'm here with a quick post to share my second guest designer card for Uniko Challenge! All the challenge details are HERE. Thanks again Uniko team for having me! 

I made a quick card with a Dutch DooBaDoo stencil. The stencil has these fun torn looking edges so I decided to use a Penny Black rectangle die that also has a torn look to it... The card turned out pretty edgy! :) I chose non-traditional Christmas colors for this. The sentiment is by Winnie and Walter. The splatters are made with white acrylic paint and with shimmery white gold paint by Kuretake. Hope you like and thanks for popping by... And again many thanks to Uniko team, I enjoyed creating my GD cards! 

I'd like to join:

ABC Christmas challenge: F is for Faux (Faux torn edges)

Simon Says Monday Challenge: Tape it Up (Definitely needed tape for taping down that stencil!) 

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Anything goes

This time our guest designer is the wonderful Angie, she is such a talented card maker, I always admire her work in all challenge blogs where I see her play along!

I was inspired by the white sentiment on red background, the wreath on the wall and the stripes in the cushions. The wreath stamp is by Altenew and the sentiment is by Winnie and Walter. I've colored the image with Copics and added red gems for "berries". Can't remember when I would have used patterned paper but I really liked it in this card! I hope you like it too and thanks for popping by!
