I wish it was Halloween already

Happy Wednesday!

 

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time our challenge theme is "These are a few of my favourite things. . . "

 

Well, my favourite things that I go with are green and Halloween - not a very big surprise 😊 I used The Little Witch image and coloured it with alcohol markers. The background I made with stencil and Distress Inks. Then I just added heat embossed sentiment and a few die cut bats and tree branches.

New baby shaker card

Hello!

 

 This time I'm sharing a shaker card I made for a new baby. 

 

 I just love this cute sleeping dragon (by Whimsy Stamps) so I had to use it on this card 😊 I coloured it with alcohol markers and added some Wink of Stella glitter here and there (doesn't show very well in the pics).

 

I die cut a frame from patterned paper and added some "lace" around it. Then I added acetate sheet and foam tape, added some confetti and taped it to the base. I also did the handle part and taped it to the shaker part. Lastly I added some gift ribbon and a flower.

 

 

Products used:  

• Whimsy Stamps - Dreamy Dragon stamp
• Tsukineko - Memento tuxedo black
• Copics & Promarkers
• Crealies - Circle XXL dies
• Polkadoodles - Pretty Flower Flourish dies
• Wink of stella glitter pen 
• Acetate sheet, foam tape, glue, paper flower, gift ribbon, patterned paper, confetti

Fun winter card

Happy Wednesday!

 

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time we  would like you to take inspiration from the mood board below.

 

 

I made this fun winter themed card. I used the image Whole Lotta Snow! and coloured it with alcohol markers (yes, I finally bought a new printer, yay!). I used a little lighter colours than I usually do because I wanted to follow the delicate colours of the mood board (but did not quite succeed 😁). Then I stamped some snowflakes and sentiment on the background. I also added some glitter glue on the sentiment.

Good Morning lovely crafters!

Welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop, in celebration of The Paper Shelter's 15th Birthday on the 8th of December!  This will be a two week challenge, with both teams taking part, and it's our way of thanking The Paper Shelter for sharing their wonderful images with us, and sponsoring our challenge.

 

The theme for this special challenge is:

CELEBRATIONS

I love the rock'n'roll feeling on this card!

 

****

Digital card - Starry nights

Happy Wednesday!

 

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time our theme is "Light my fire". So anything related to light, fire, flames etc goes. You can also use the "Anything goes" option.

 

 I still haven't had time to hunt for a new printer so I made a digital card again. This time I used The Sun's In My Heart pre-coloured image and turned it to night scene with a text editor program.

Digital Halloween card 3

Happy Wednesday!

 

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time our theme is "Halloween - Not Halloween colours". And of course there is always the "Anything goes" option to use.

 

 I haven't had time to hunt for a new printer so I made a digital card again. I used Enchanting Witch image and did some magic with photo editor & text editor programs to create this Halloween card. It was fun to try some new things but I think I still prefer crafting with a physical stuff 😊

Digital Halloween card 2

Happy Wednesday!

 

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time our theme is "Ghostly vellum". So we would like to see some vellum on your card 😊 And of course there is always the "Anything goes" option to use.

I haven't had time to hunt for a new printer so I made a digital card again. I used precoloured Witch's Ghostly Adventure image and Fancy Dinner background. I changed part of the ghost to be transparent and added some shadows. The sentiments are from Polkadoodles.
