You are my sunshine

Hello everybody! Today I would like to show you a card I made my (not so little anymore) girl for her birthday. As soon as I saw this stamp I knew I had to have it. This image reminds me SO much of my little girl. She also has long hair and for a while she hasn't gone anywhere without her Minnie mouse ears. And when she saw this card she even asked if that was her on there. Bless her, she really knows how to make her mommy's heart sing.

While she still adores Minnie mouse, lately she's been more into Elsa, Olaf and other Frozen characters. I think I will have to go on the lookout for some birthday snowmen (or Frozen related) stamps. :P

Anyways, this is the card I made for my lil one...

This super cute image is from The Greeting Farm. I did the colouring with polychromos. The papers (except for the yellow paper behind the image) are from one of my favourite paper pads from MME. The sentiments are from the same paper pad as the papers.

I decorated the card with some pearls and die-cut hearts. 

I wish you a wonderful day. Xx

Hello everybody! How was your Christmas? I hope you had a lovely day with your loved ones. We had a very relaxing day at home. We had fun with the gifts Santa brought us, we ate some yummy food, watch some Christmas movies and did a lot of cuddling. It was a perfect day!

Today I would like to show you another card that I made recently - and for a change this one is not Christmassy. Shocking, I know. :P I made this card for my friend's birthday. Since she's already received it it's safe to post it online. :) Do you like making and sending cards for/to your friends and family on their birthdays? I sure do. It's just a simple gesture to let them know you are thinking of them on their special day. 

On this card I combines some of my favourite things - gorgeous papers from Craft and you, beautiful flowers from I am roses and one of the sweetest little fairies from Mo Manning (this is a Stampavie stamp, called Birthday fairy Lee). I coloured this cutie with polychromos and I covered her wings with stickles. I love how sparkly they are! I finished the card off with some pearls, crystals and small butterflies.

So much from me today. See you again soon. :)

Have a wonderful day! xx

A festive hello

Hello everybody! How was your weekend? Did you have a nice time? We spent it at home, relaxing. It felt really good. On Saturday we finally put on our Christmas tree and decorations, watched some Netflix and Disney+ and we even took an easy way out with lunch - we just made pizza. :) And Sunday was just another easy going day at our place. Playing, watching Netflix/Disney+ and taking it easy. For me this was a perfect weekend.

I'm still working on my Christmas cards when I have time and this is one of those I made in the last couple of days.

I really like this image from LLLC. Isn't this Marci adorable? I decided to use non-traditional Christmas colours for a change. I like how Marci's yellow dress pops up against the pink background. What about you? Do you prefer the traditional Christmas colours when making Christmas cards or do you like non-traditional colours as well? I did the colouring with my polychromos.

I decorated the card with some doilies, pearls and some crystals and I also used a piece of glittery tape on there. It's hard to see in the pictures, but if you look reeeeeeeeeeeally closely and reeeeeeeally caefully you can see that I covered the showflake banner in Marci's hands with diamond stickles so it's really sparkly. What can I say... I love me some bling. ;)

So much from me today. have a wonderful Sunday (what's left of it) and a lovely week! xx

Christmas with reindeers

Hello everybody! How are you? I hope you've been enjoying the holidays so far. Did Santa left anything nice for you under the Christmas tree? Obviously I was on the nice list this year, because I was really spoiled. :) Did you get any snow for Christmas? I was hoping we would have white Christmas this year, but we didn't. I bet we'll be getting lots and lots of snow in January, when no one wants it. *sigh* My little girl got sleighs for Christmas and today we went to the place near by with artificial snow to test them. At first she was a bit scared, but after a couple of rides she was smiling ear to ear and didn't want to go home. lol 

Ok, enough chit chat. There are still a couple of Christmas cards I made this year that I would like to share with you. Today I want to show you this one...

I was very pleased with how this one turned out. In fact, I think it turned out better than I expected it to to be honest. I used some non-christmassy papers from Prima and lots of die cuts that I received from my friends. For the center of my card I used the beautiful Christmas tree rubber stamp which I embossed with Ranger's gold embossing powder. Around the image I sprinkled some frantage. Love that thing! I embellished the card with some lace.

Layers are raised on foam pads, which give the card some dimension.

I hope you like my today's card. Have a wonderful holiday season and all the best in 2018! xx
