CAS Christmas card

Hi!

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

We were asked to create something Christmas related. I actually coloured one Winnie image to create a card but then I changed my mind and wanted something more simple. And use mostly blue colours. 
 
I stamped the bigger tree from the Jingle Bells Christmas stamp set and Christmas text from Smiley Snowman stamp set and then added a delicate background with Distress Ink and Heavenly Circles stencil. I coloured the tree with Sharpie pens and added a glossy accent over the "bubbles". Lastly I drew a frame near the card's edge because it looked too simple without it. And I really love the result.

Enjoying summer

Hi!
 
It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time the theme is "Anyhing goes".

I've been sick couple of weeks and didn't have much energy so I decided to use precoloured images and background. And something summer themed for our summer break challenge 😊
 
So, I designed the layout with a text editor program. I used the background from My Happy Summer Face set and added a Giselle image to enjoy the summer scene. I also decided to use the doggy image from My Happy Summer Face set. When I was happy with the result I printed the layout and added some colours with markers here and there before taping the layout on the pink cardboard. Lastly I stamped the summer text on the right down corner.

Cupcake birthday card

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

This time I wanted to do something different and came up with the idea of a cupcake accordion card. I used Waffle Cream Frosting Cupcake digi stamp and designed the card with a text editor program. I arranged the cupcakes near each other before printing and then cut the print with an electric cutting machine. I fold the cardboard between cupcakes with a little help of a bone folder and then coloured the cupcakes with alcohol markers. 
 
Lastly I added die cut letters saying "Happy bday!". This was a fun project!

Getting ready for Halloween

Hi!
 
It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time the theme is "Sweet Treats".

Well, treats make me think of Halloween so I decided to go with that. I used A Tricky Treat image and coloured it with alcohol markers. I also added a glossy accent over the apple.

I created the background with Whimsy Stamps background stamp. I firstly used the stamp with waterproof Versafine inks (purple and orange), then added purple Distress Ink over the whole background. I pressed wet paper here and there to create the worn white areas and let the card base dry. Then I stamped some bats, the sentiment and taped the vampire boy with foam tape.

Video camera view card

Hello!
 
This time I share a card I made for my 'crafty challenge calendar'. You can find more info about the challenge from my earlier post here.
 
The picture of the card is not great, sorry about that. It was a last minute idea to do this card for my hubby's nephew who graduated from vocational college as a media assistant (or something like that) so I didn't have much time to take the picture either.

So this is meant to be the camera view - there are six different recorded videos of different places. And the thought is that you can do anything and be anything 😊 I used a Stampendous stamp set and Distress Inks to create the scenes. 
 
It could be better but with the time I had I'm happy with the result.

Summer slimline card

Hi crafters!

This time I share a card I made for my 'crafty challenge calendar'. You can find more info about the challenge from my earlier post here.

Because it's summer and very hot I got inspired by these CraftEmotions summer treats 😊 I coloured the images with alcohol markers. 
 
I  knew instantly that the Visible Image stencil from my last challenge bag would be perfect for this summery card, so I used some orange and yellow Distress Inks with the stencil to create this sunny background.

Sometimes things just click instantly. I wish it would happen more often 😄
