Spring lollipop card

Hey hey! How are you doing? A lot has been going on here. Since spring is knocking on the door, we are using the nicer weather to go on walks, trips etc. This weekend we were quite busy, but it was fun. We met with some friends we haven't seen in a while, the little one attended a birthday party and we also went to a concert. On top of that I also did a lot of baking. As I said, it was a busy (but fun) weekend. What have you been up to?

Believe it or not, I actually managed to do some crafting lately as well. Only a short period of time at a time, but little by little and I got it done. At the very last minute if I might add. But hey, it was done in time and that is all that matters, right?  

So, without further ado, let me show you the lollipop card I've been talking about. 

I used an older Magnolia image and coloured it with polychromos. I used craft sensations paper to create rosette which is the the base for my lollipop card. Have you ever made a lillipop card? They are really fun to make and I have a tutorial here if you want to learn how to make one. :) 

I decorated the card with some flowers and a butterfly sticker. The white tulips and green leaves are from I am roses, and I made the other flowers myself - I wanted to create a daffodil and black hellebore.

I hope you like my creation. 

So much for today. Have a wonderful day! xx

Lollipop, lollipop, oh lolli, lolli, lolli

Hey my sweet friends! Now that you have the Lollipop song stuck in your head I can show you what I made.

It's a paper lollipop!!! And a shaker one too!!! Weeee!!!! Lol Sorry, I think I lost it for a moment, but I think this is so much fun!!! :D I'm sure you've seen these lollipops around the Blogland before. I've been meaning to make one of these for ages, but haven't gotten around to do it til now. And now I think I'm hooked. I had so much fun making this! Never mind the Lollipop song that was stuck in my head the whole time I was making the lolli. Lol

I started with a strip of a 12x12 paper to make a rosette. Then I used a doily in the back and one of the die cuts, some pearls and a micro dot ribbon from Crafty ribbons to decorate the front. Most of the paper lollipops I've seen online used paper straws, but I didn't have any at home and couldn't find any in the store, so I just used a bbq stick that I covered with gesso. I think that works well too.

The adorable kitty is a TGF stamp and is part of the Mini-remix Happy set. I did the colouring with Promarkers and Faber Castell pencils. I was originally planning to use clear micro beads for the shaker, but guess what ... I didn't have any at home. It was my mum who gave me the idea to use those teeny tiny beads that I have among my jewelry making supplies instead. Thanks mum! :) I'm glad I found some use for those after all this time. :)

Well, so much from me today. Have a wonderful day!

Hugs! xx
