Back to school or Christmas?

Hey everybody! Things finally settled down here a bit and my crafty corner is more or less done, so I finally got to do some crafting. :) I think I will be very busy crafting in the following months, because I need to stack up on Christmas and birthday cards. Eeek! I've already made a few, bot not even remotely as many as I need. What about you? Have you started making Christmas cards yet?

Anyways, a new monthly challenge just started at Magnolia-licious blog and while the main theme is "back to school", we also have an "anything goes" option. As you are about to see I chose this one - I will take any "excuse" I can get to make Christmas cards. He he.

I decided to colour this adorable Christmas Tilda from Christmas party 2017 collection. I stamped the image on neenah white solar paper and did the colouring with pencils. 

Papers are from Maja Design Celebration collection. The music notes paper is an actual music paper from back when I was still going to music school (which was looooong ago lol). The big lace is from my stash and the "smaller" lace is from Magnolia-licious store.

I hope you will come play with us. :) Have a beautiful day! xx

Have a happy day

Hello there everybody! How are you doing? We are enjoying the warm sunny days. :) We had a pretty busy weekend (going here and there) and it feels good to be able to spend the next 2 days at home. I'm definitely going to take it easy. :D

Despite everything that's been going on here I managed to make a couple of cards. One of them is the one I am about to show you... I made it for the new challenge that just started at Magnolia-licious challenge blog. The theme is Anything goes with optional spring. 

I made a CAS card with the super duper cute bunny stamp from Magnolia's Sunbeam collection. I made an attempt to create a spring scene with some flower and butterflies stamps. I did the colouring with pencils. To decorate the card I only used a couple of sequins.

I hope you will come play with us this month. 

Have a wonderful day! xx

Winter angel

Hey hey! I told you I'd be back soon. ;) I'm so excited to share with you my news... I'm now part of Magnolia-licious design team. Woohoo! I was SO happy when I got the news. Happy, happy, happy! :D Shawn has LOTS of Magnolia goodies in the store, but that's not all, they are also selling Maja design papers (you know how much I love these), Foamiran and other awesome things so it's definitely worth checking the store out.

Today is my first card I made as part of this design team. I made it for the challenge that just started at Manolia-licious blog. I hope you will come play with us!

I used one of the older Magnolia stamps. This Flying angel Tilda was one of my first Magnolia stamps and it's still one of  my favourites, escpecially for making Christmas card.

I used gorgeous papers from Maja design that are for sale in Magnolia-licious store and some red "ribbed cardstock" (I'm not sure that's the right name) for the stars. I decorated the card with some lace and homemade enamel dots.

I coloured the image with distress inks.

And here's the side view of my card.

I hope you will come play with us and do check Magnolia-licious store for some great deals. :)

Have a wonderful day! xx

Spooky fun

Heya! Welcome to October! ;) Are you getting ready for Halloween? We don't really celebrate Halloween in my country, but we might still carve a pumpkin or two. Other than that we won't do anything special. 

At the TGF blog we have a perfect challenge for all of you who like this holiday - Spooky fun! There are some awesome stamps at the TGF store that are perfect for Halloween. I decided to use Peek a boo stamps and matching dies.

I decided to keep the card simple. I used some green paper that I had in my stash for a while. Over it I used a creamy white paper and I used mesh stencil and watercolours to create the pattern on it. Then I just cut some more strips of paper and randomly glue them on my card. Image is coloured with pencils and I added some sequins to decorate the card.

I hope you will come play with us this month.

Have a great day! xx

Use those office supplies

Hey, hey! Wow, can you believe September is here already? Eeeek, time's just flying by! I have a feeling that the year will come to an end before we (I) know it.

A new challenge started at The greeting farm today and this month we would like to see some office supplies on your card/project. Think paper clips, notepad paper etc. I found some long forgotten pink notepad paper and decided to use that.

I wanted to make an everday card, and I thought this sentiment from the Little fairies stamp set would be perfect for it, The flower is from the same set as well. They were stamped on a piece of white cardstock and then I used home-made cloud (sort of) mask to create "cloud" background.

To decorate the card I used a doily and some flowers and sequins from my stash. The butterfly was made with Mod Podge mold.

I hope you'll join our challenge this month. :)

Have a great day! xx

Friendship

Heya! It's the first of the month and you know what this means, right? Yup, the start of a new challenge at The Greeting Farm. :) Did you know that 7 August is a national friendship day? As we believe having friends is very important we decided that the theme for this challenge should be "friendship". Make a card, a tag or another project to let your friend(s) know how special (s)he is/they are to you.

I used one of the sweet images from the Magical friends set to make my card. I think those really special friends are (almost) as rare as unicorns, so this image seemed perfect. And the sentiment came from the Mega-mini amazing set.

To decorate the card I used a couple of doilies from my stash, a piece of cheesecloth, pearls and flowers. The big (twisted) yellow flower and the rose that I glued in the middle of it are from I am roses and the other flowers are from my stash. I also used different dies to decorate the card.

I coloured this cutie with Promarkers and pencils. After the colouring was done I used the Magical friends dies to cut out the image. I love fussy cut images, but I don't like fussy cutting, so these dies are a must have or me.

So much from me today. I hope you will join our challenge this month. I can't wait to see what you'll make. :)

Have a great day! xx
