Hello toucan

Hi crafters!

Something cheery and springful 😊


 
 
I used the toucan image from Hawaiian Holiday Digital Stamp Set and coloured it with alcohol markers.
 
 
 
 
 
I cut orange cardboard and patterned paper from Sun Shiny Days Slimline Digital Paper Pack with Zinnia Slimline Die and added them to the lower part of the card. I also cut some flowers with Happy Dragonfly Circle Die and glued them and the toucan on the card.
 
Lastly I inked the hello text with Clearly Classic Stencil and Distress Inks.

Happy New Year

 Hello!

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog.

I have so much stuff going on so I had to go the easy way. I used the coloured version of A New Beginning set. I didn't want it to be "just a print" so I added glossy accents over the baubles, champagne glass and champagne foam. I also added some golden glitter glue here and there.

I'm happy with the result. The image and background are so beautiful by themself, but these little extras made it look more like me 😊

Favorite snow-pal

Hi crafters!

This time I share with you this cheery and cute snowman and fairies card 😊 I wanted to create something fun and not Christmas, so I chose to use bright and more spring-related colours.

 
I used the fairies from Frosty Fairies Digital Stamp Set and the snowman from Snow Buddies Digital Stamp Set. I designed the layout with a text editor program, printed it and then coloured it with alcohol markers and white gel pen.


 
 
I cut the image, the card base and the frame with See You In The Center Interactive Die. The patterned paper is from Sun Shiny Days Slimline Digital Paper Pack.


 
 
The text is from Snow Buddies Digital Stamp Set and I cut it with Loving Petals Square Die.

Let's celebrate

Hi everyone!

It's time for a new Polkadoodles Craft challenge, come and join us here 😊

I went with a super simple style with my DT card. I stamped some gift packages here and there using Curly Christmas Stamp Set. Then I added a sentiment from Birthday Celebrations Stamp Set and some acrylic diamonds. 
 
Really simple card, but I like it 😊

Gift boxes

Hello crafters!

It's December already, OMG where the time goes?!



Because Christmas is getting closer and closer I decided to do some gift boxes. I printed a few beautiful patterned papers from Peppermint Slimline Digital Paper Pack on thick A4 paper and started folding them with the help of a bone folder. 

I think I should have checked out some instructions, but I like to take the harder way, and went with my own idea... Well, now I have couple extra gift box bases - just need to do more lids someday 😀

 



When I got the box folded I added a gift tag made with Loving Petals Square Die and Must Haves Sentiment Stamp Set. I added some bakers twine and tied it around the gift box.

I just love these patterned papers, they are so beautiful and works great on these gift boxes 💚

Around the Christmas tree

Hi!

It's time for a Mix & Match Instagram hop 🥳 Join the celebration and you can win a $20 gift card to TLC Designs shop. Check out the instructions on my account or TLC Designs account 😊
 
 
 
 
I combined the Christmas tree and sentiment from Jingle Time Digital Stamp with an adorable mother/child image from Blessings Digital Stamp Set and coloured them with alcohol markers.
 
 
 
 
The card base I did with Daisy Frame Die and added some blue ink with Clearly Classic Stencil. There are also some glossy accents on the baubles (the pic doesn't show it very well).
