Winter fun

Hello!

I'm honored to be a guest designer on Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge 😊 The sponsors of the challenge are All Dressed Up Stamps and Colour of Love. Theme is "Anything goes" so come and join the fun!

I used a Feeding the Birds image by All Dressed Up Stamps and coloured it with alcohol markers. I die cut it, coloured the edges and added glitter. Then I added some snow with white paint marker.

 

The background I had done earlier with Distress ink pads and now I embossed and die cut it. I also die cut a little bigger blue cardboard and glued them together. Then I added some white stains/drops with acrylic paint and paint marker, some white die cuts and glitter on the edges.

Lastly I taped the image on the background with foam tape, added the snowman and the sentiment.

Happy winter!

 

Here you can see the glitter a little better.

New Year's card

Hi!

It's time for some new inspiration for Polkadoodles Craft challenge. You can find more inspiration and join the challenge here 😊

The theme was New Year so I wanted to create something fun and glittery. I used glitter paint markers to create the fireworks on the black cardboard. I stamped the champagne bottle and the flying cork from Cheers Lovely stamp set and coloured them also with glitter paint markers. Then I stamped the flying cork and a sentiment from Bottoms Up stamp set to the background with gold ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 

 

Lastly I taped the bottle and the cork on the background. It was super fun to do this! Unfortunately the pic taking wasn't so easy because of all the glitter but I hope it shows well enough the fun and colourful New Year's eve 😊

Tribute to Veronica

Hi everyone!

 

 

This week and next, rather than running our usual Blog Hop, the Design Team at The Paper Shelter is honouring our beautiful co-founder Veronica, who tragically left us on the 25th of September 2024.

Veronica was a kind, supportive, beautiful soul, who alongside her co-founder Pedro, produced the images we all know and love to create with.

There is a vacuum in the world today, where Veronica used to be, and we will miss her terribly.

 

 

*** *** ***

 

So, as a tribute to Veronica, the challenge theme this time is "In honour of those we love".

On my card I used Cozy Christmas Together image and coloured it with alcohol markers. I added some patterned paper and a frame but kept the card otherwise quite simple. There is a lot of glitter on the frame, the edges of the card and patterned paper and also some on the girl's hat (doesn't show on the picture unfortunately).

 

 

Remember to join our challenge at The Paper Shelter blog. If you use The Paper Shelter digi at your challenge card you can win 6 TPS products.

Fun money card

Hi!

It's time for some new inspiration for Polkadoodles Craft challenge. You can find more inspiration and join the challenge here 😊

This time I created a fun card to give with a money gift. 

 

 

 

 

 I used the Curly Christmas stamp set to create the "envelope" part. I stamped the Christmas baubles on a white cardboard, coloured them with watercolours and cut away the part above the baubles. Then I cut a little bigger base from a green cardboard and taped the cardboard I just made on it from the edges.

After I had done the envelope part I cut a card to go partly inside the envelope from a blue cardboard. I cut the holes where I can put a 20€ bill and rounded the upper part of the card. Then I printed Gift Box Parcel Bella and Cooper Christmas Puppy images, coloured them with alcohol markers and fussy cut them. I also made some gifts from Theo Penguin paper bundle 3. I taped the images and the gifts on the card so that they are just on the edge of the envelope part when the card is in and just over the money when the card is out of the envelope. Lastly I added some stars on the blue part of the card with a glitter yellow paint pen.

Happy Wednesday!

 

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time the theme is "Dots/stripes". 

 

I used this beautiful Giselle image and coloured her with alcohol markers. I wanted to play with a few different striped papers so I die cut them to different sizes and taped them on the cardbase with a foam tape.
