Time for some tea?

If you give away tea as a gift, what can be more perfect then a card on the same theme? I have longed for this digital stamp a long time and now finally I got a reason to buy it 🙂

The frame is made of pink cardstock and measures 6×6″ (double folded). The digital stamp are from The Paper Shelter. On top of the patterned paper (from Maja Design) you find a piece of white cardstock that I have embossed.

The little tea holder are from a kit with buttons. I have cut off the loop at the back.

A small pile of mixed flowers. For once I haven’t used any roses (I’m totally blind to the buds, they are not real roses😉 )
The purple and white flowers come with a pearl in the middle, so I matched them by attaching tiny micro beads with Glossy Accent on my big flower.

My embossed pattern was just begging for beads. Each bead is glued separately and I used a toothpick to dab the glue on the paper before I mounted the bead. The beads are more white than yellow in reality.

The digital stamp are colored in with Promarkers, and the hole list of colors are:

Apple	Meadow Green
Soft Green	Pebble Blue
Spice	Cerise
Pink Pearl	Dusky Pink
Pink Carnation	Blossom
Fuchia Pink	Ginger
Yellow	Sunflower
Canary	Lemon
Pale Pink	Baby Pink
Powder Blue

Challenge in Blue, Red, Yellow and White

Leave a reply

Just in time for Midsummer, I participated in a challenge on Facebook. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the rules, but I think it was:
Using the colors blue, yellow, red and white (or if it was green)
Two handmade strawberry
The text Glad Midsommar (Happy Midsummer)
A little more advanced folding

I chose to do a Criss Cross card in a little more elongated version than the square.
The card body is light blue Cardstock and the Patterned paper are from a 6×6” paper pad from Maja Design.

Around the card runs a red ribbon with red swirls. I have done my strawberries with shrink plastic that I’ve colored with ProMarker (Berry Red, Black) before I shrank it.

My image comes from Far Far Hill and one of the kits with Pin-Ups. It was a good substitute when I didn’t had the inspiration to color my own.

There’s room for a greeting on the big tag that’s made of blue and white cardstock and decorated with lace, bow and my second strawberry.

Christmas Card #3 2015

Leave a reply

I didn’t do this card for a challenge, but just because I bought a nice die and wanted to use it at once.
It was, in all honesty, a little difficult to punch out, but with a little practice I got to the hang of it.

The card is 6×6″ and the body is white cardstock. I have used three different patterned paper with snow theme.

In addition to my new die with a snowman I used dies with ivy and pine cones that are embossed and colored with a ProMarker, Tea green.
The border is made with a edge punch and a strip of one of the patterned papers.

I’ve put the pine cones on 3D pillows to give the card a little life. The ivy is just glued under the pine cones and then a little upturned.

My lovely snowman! You can use it both with and without the background.

The snowman was given a little sparkels with a sparkly Sakura pen. I you look close you fins some blue snowflakes in the background. Thees are also sparkling but with some silver glitter glue.

Play with dies

I have rediscovered all my dies and has begun to use them in new ways and way more often. I think I can thank my new storage for it. More about that storage a bit later.

Card with coffee cups

When I made this card I sat and played with a die from Marianne Design that I have had in over a year but never used. I tend to either start a card with a paper or an image or stamp. This time it doesn’t came out like I had imagined it at all.
The card is 6×6″ and has a frame of white cardstock.
I’ve only used a pattern paper, but both sides.

One of the corners got a whole bunch of flowers and some butterflies. The half beads are milky-white and faceted rather than completely round.

The cups are trimmed to look as if they are in each other. I’m not to happy with the result, so next time I will probably cut a gap in the blue cup and insert the white etc.
