Waiting for snow

Hello everybody! First of all ... HAPPY NEW YEAR! How did you spend the first few days of 2023? We went to some short trips around here, but we are also spending lots of quality time together at home while we still can. Did you get any new crafty supplies from Santa? I did and I can't wait to use them. :)

Today I finished my first card in 2023 - yay me. :P It's a simple one, but I happy with it. I am still in a holiday spirit so I wanted to create a holiday/wintry card and when I was going through my stash I found this Candibean stamp from Little darlings (it's called Spread a smile of joy) that I've had for a while, but haven't used it yet so I thought it was high time to change that. So I inked the stamp up and went to work.

I coloured the image with polychromos and added some stickles here and there. Then I fussy cut the image, raised it on foam pads and glued it on the card. I finished the card with the sentiment from The Greeting Farm; I thought it went perfectly with the image. I finished the card up with some crystals.

So much from me today. Have a wonderful day! :)

Happiest of holidays

Hello everybody! Let me start this post by wishing you all a very merry Christmas. I hope you have a magical day and that you are able to spend it with your loved ones. Were you on the naughty or nice list this year? I think I was a very good girl, especially considering all the fun presents Santa left for me under the Christmas tree.

I want to thank all of you who have been visiting my blog and were leaving me comments and those of you who were in touch by email. I am sorry I haven't been a good blogger friend in the last couple of monrhs, but soooo much has been going on... For me 2018 was a big year, which brought a lot of new adventures, challenges and experiences, for which I am very grateful. I am looking forward to see what 2019 has in store for me.

Have a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

Hugs! xx

Wonderful Xmas

Hello my crafty friends! I have another Christmas card to share with you. This one was made last year and it has already arrived to its destination, but I haven't gotten the chance to show it here yet. 

I don't use digi stamps often, because 1.) my printer is almost always out of ink, 2.) no matter what I do my ink runs if I do the colouring with distress inks and 3.) if there is ink in my printer, I am often too lazy to print digis. I find it much easier and faster to just stamp an image on the paper. All that being said, this digi I used on the card I'm about to show you was just too cute not to be used. It's been sitting in the folder on my computer for quite a while, just waiting to be used. It took me a while to finally print it (see reason no. 3 above), but eventually I did it. Luckily more than once so I can use it again this year if I feel like it. :P

Anyways, here's my card...

The image is from Whimsy stamps and it was a freebie some time ago. I coloured it with pencils. 

Papers are from Folia and Docraft. I used several different dies on this card (from LLLC, LDRS...) and I spelled Xmas with glittery alphabet stickers. Those flowers/snowflakes around the image came with the same set as the alphabet stickers. To decorate the card I used some crystals.

So much from me today. Have a beautiful day! xx
