Best Christmas Wishes

Hi again
I have christmas projects going on most of the year, but now as the days are shorter, the weather colder and nights are darker, I use most of my scrap room time working on christmas projects.
Oh, I love this time of the year!

- And I love making christmas cards, especially cards like this, kind of shabby chic/ vintage, full of dies and bling, ribbons and laces, twine, cheesecloth and Frantage and "splatted" with Gesso.
The DPs (that barely are showing) on this card are from MajaDesign.
Inside I used a textstamp from Papirdesign.
The image (Magnolia) is coloured with ProMarkers.

Confirmationcard wtih Magnolia Image

Hi again.
Between most christmas- and birthdayprojects I thought I'd show a confirmation card I made a while ago. This one has the shabby chic, fully loaded style that I like so much. I think Magnolia images are just perfect for this style. The image is coloured with ProMarkers. Around it I sprinkled on some Frantage. DPs used are from Papirdesign, and the cardstocks are from Bazzill.
I used several dies, a MS Punch, lace, cheesecloth, seambindingribbon, twine, charms, a button, halfpearls and pearlstrings. The flowers are dipped in frantage (then heated to fasten the stuff). All paperedges are inked With DistressInk WalnutStain.
Inside the card I stamped on a poem and made a Pocket for either a giftcard or some Money.

Snowflakes

Good Morning everyone.

Only 30-few days until Christmas,

I have found one of my beloved Magnoliastamps again, and made a blue and white, wintertime christmascard.

The image is coloured with ProMarkers. DPs are MajaDesign Vintage Frost Basics. I used lots of different dies for decorations on the card. I put some cheesecloth under the image and a little Frantage (Chunky White) around it. I also used laces, halfpearls and pearlstrings, some swirls, a snowflakecharm. Two silverbells are attached to the bow made of seambindingribbon.

I used the new DistressInk HickorySmoke on the paperedges - great colour, but I don't think it'll be a new favourite like the WalnutStain is...

On the left inside I made a pocket to hold two tags - either to stamp or write greetings on, or simply to use as gifttags. On the right side I placed a writing panel, made with a Punch Around The Page set from Martha Stewart.

On the back of the card I put on a die cut made with my new dies from Xcut (docrafts)....

...isn't it just gorgeous??? I LOVE it!

3 or more layers @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

Good Morning on this beautiful summer Wednesday.
I have a new card to show you,
and remind you that today we start a new challenge over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers

This weeks sponsor is

Clearly Besotted Stamps & Dies

Prize is £15.00 Voucher to spend in the shop.

The theme for this weeks challenge is
3 or more layers

How you interpret this is entirely up to you, but please remember you MUST use either ProMarkers, FlexMarkers, TriaMarkers or AquaMarkers and of course follow the theme to be entered into the prize draw, if not your entry will be deleted.

We would prefer that you have Word Verification turned off on your blogs, this slows us down so much when we go to leave you lovely comments.  If you have it turned on, then we're very sorry but we won't be able to leave you any comments, but your entry WILL still be entered into the prize draw.

For this challenge I've made a christmas card.
Of course in several layers, apart from that I've used a minimum of decorations.
I really like the die saying "God jul" ("Merry Christmas"), notice that the letter style on the die cut is the same style as the letters on the text on one of the DPs - cool, or what!
Some days ago my daughter asked if I didn't use my Magnolia stamps any more.
Of course I do!
Well - I stamp and colour them, but I haven't used any of them on cards in quite a while, so I thought I'd use one at least for this one, and maybe some more...

I'll try my luck in these challenges:

Confirmationcard with Magnolia

Hi again
I'm here to show you one of this years confirmation cards.
This one for a girl (obvious...), with one of my dear Magnolia images.
It's coloured with ProMarkers.
DPs on the card are from Magnolia and Papirdesign. All Die Cuts are cut out in white Bazzill cardstock. All paper- and cardstock edges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.
To decorate the card I've used most of all those lovely embellishments I love; Flowers, Cheesecloth, pearls and pearlstrings, ribbons, Laces, Twines, Buttons and Charms. And Frantage. I put on Frantage both around the image and on the flowers.

Behind the image there's place for a little tag (Magnolia DooHickey) with a little greeting on.
Well, enough talk, here's the card:

Inside the card there's a stamped greeting and a pocket sized for either a giftcard, some money or a card with a more personal greeting:

Your Favourite Song @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

Good Morning to you all.
I'm here today to show you my DT-entry and to invite you to the new challenge over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers

Sponsor for this weeks challenge is
Live And Love Crafts

The Prize is a £10 Gift Certificate


This weeks theme is
Your Favourite Song

First of all I must apologize for few and bad pictures this week.
My computer broke down the other day, and when I decided to throw it out of the craftroom I got a little carried away. So now I'm practically rearranging my whole craftroom. The whole room is in a mess, and the place where I usually does all my photographing - well, I couldn't find it...
Please bare over with me for a little while. I hope that I'll get thing back in order by the weekend, 'cause I really can't stand all the mess in there!

Well, back to the challenge;
I really can't say I have an over all favourite song, but amongst all the songs I like is the norwegian christmas song Vi tenner våre lykter.

I even like it so much I've bought a stamp with the text from the song some years ago.
With this text I think this little Magnolia image is just perfect.
I also used DPs from Magnolia on this card.
To decorate it I put on: Laces, Flowers, Swirls, pearlstrings, Seambindingribbon, a charm and lots of white halfpearls. I also used several dies to cut out decorations. All over this I dripped and rubbed on white Gesso.
Here's the card:

No Patterned Papers @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

Good Morning Friends and Followers.
I hope I’ve done things right this time to get the post scheduled on time. Sometimes it works just fine - other times I mess it up…
Anyway, I try to post my DT-entry for the new challenge over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers

I hope many of you will join us for this challenge, which has the theme

No Patterned Papers

Sponsor for this weeks challenge is
Visible Image

No Patterned Papers - a rather tricky challenge, I thought at first. But having thought it over a little while I had the plan for my card.

I’ve used cardstock from Bazzill, an embossingfolder from Cuttlebug («Snowflakes») and dies from Spellbinders, Wild Rose Studio and KaBoks.
I inked all edges with DistressInk WalnutStain.
The little penguin image is from Magnolia - of course it’s coloured with ProMarkers
(Warm Grey 1-5, Pumpkin, Arctic Blue, Pastel Blue and Blender).
I sprinkled on a little Frantage around the image («Chunky White» and  «Shabby White»).
All dies-parts are put together with 3D-foam pads.
Inside the card I stamped and embossed (silver embossingpowder) a christmasgreeting with one of the new stamps from Papirdesign.
Here’s how my card turned out:

Outsides:

The image «North Pole Pingy» from Magnolia:
