Soaring Eagle

Finally Friday!

I`ve always loved the shabby vintage style, especially when It`s done by those who really know how to! I must admit though, that I`m not one of those...LOL! It just don`t come easy to me! Anyway, I really wanted to give it a try, and this is how it turned out.

I used the beautiful Soaring Eagle image by Heartfelt Creations. It is colored with distress inks and cut out. I used Spellbinders dies to create the frame, and the background is cuttlebug embossed. I also added clear EP on the embossed areas and heat embossed. Papers from Cosmo Cricket.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you`ll have a wonderful weekend!!

OCC - 3D challenge

Happy Sunday!

Thought I`d participate in this weeks 3D challenge at Our Creative Corner. I love 3D projects, and for this card I`ve used a Heartfelt Creations image. It`s called Trumpet Bouquet.
I colored it with Distress Inks, and popped up the hummingbirds for the 3D-effect. The background was cuttlebug embossed (Morrocan Screen), sponged with Distress Ink Antique Linen and embossed with clear EP.
The corners are cuttlebug dies.



I hope you enjoy your day, and thanks so much for stopping by!!

OCC ~ Vintage

It`s already thursday (again), and today I found the time to make a card:) It`s been raining for MANY days now, and today it`s actually snowing a little too! So the weather is at least perfect for indoor activities.
Sorry about the bad picture though, the lighting is just terrible today!

The card turned out kind of vintage/shabby chic, so that would make it perfect for the vintage challenge at Our Creative Corner.

I used a stamp called He knows from Heartfelt Creations. I stamped, colored and cut the flowers, and layered them for the 3d effect. The sentiment is from the Mini Message Cursive set. The frame was made using Spellbinders dies.
I kept the rest of the card neutral and simple to make the flowers pop even more. The background is cuttlebug embossed. Borderpunch from Fiskars....and of course some pearls to finish it off:)

I hope you have a wonderful day, and thanks for visiting!

Christmas tree

Happy thursday!

Today I have a Christmas card to share, with a beautiful image from Heartfelt Creations. It`s called Blue Spruce. I stamped it with Archival Ink, Olive, colored it with Distress Inks, and added some rhinestones for the sparkle. The first background is CB embossed and sponged with white pigment ink. The frame and the side elements are all spellbinders dies, papers from Graphic 45.

I hope you have a wonderful day, and thanks for stopping by!!

Want to see something FUNNY?

Whenever I`ve finished a card I often show it to one of my kids, just to hear their opinion. You know, you always get the truth from kids...
So when I showed this card to my son today, all he did was to LAUGH!!
I said "what is it?" And he said "aah...the image is so funny..."
Yeah, right!! I could see all over his face that he was lying!
(I think he was laughing at the card in general...LOL!)

And after seeing his reaction, I had to laugh too!! So at least this card gave us a joyful moment of laughter this afternoon:))

Well, the image used on this FUNNY card is from Heartfelt Creations and is called Bubble Bath. It is colored with Distress Inks. Papers from Crate Paper, and borderpunch from Martha Stewart.

Thanks for stopping by today (and If you are laughing right now, that`s OK too)!!

Graceful swan

Happy monday everyone!

A while ago I was so lucky to be asked to do a card/tutorial for the online magazine StampArtic. The theme was "Frames on cards", and you might have noticed that frames are one of my favorite things to add to my cards:)

This is the card I came up with, and if you want to see the step by step instructions, simply head over to StampArtic.
As usual the images were colored with Distress Inks, and the stamps used are from Heartfelt Creations , Graceful Swan, and Filler Leaves.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Royal Fruit!

Today I have a Heartfelt Creations card to share with you. I used a delicious Grape image, and instead of the regular purple ones, I decided to go for green grapes!

The image is colored with Le Plume Markers and Distress Iks. The decorative "top" is made from Spellbinders dies. Added some bling and a bow to give it kind of a royal feel :)

Thanks so much for visiting, and have a wonderful day!!

Just a note...

I am sorry for my absence lately... I am sure you feel it too... fall is such a busy time! With the kids back to school, lots of homework, lots of activities... days are flying by so fast!

Anyway, here is a "just a note" card using
this gorgeous Daisy Bouquet from Heartfelt Creations.
As usual the image is colored with Distress inks. All decorative elements are Spellbinders.

Tulip Bucket

Wow, It`s been a while since my last post.... Feels like forever!
BUT, I`ve had a wonderful vacation with my kids and my husband!!
Hope all of you had a great summer too. It is not completely over yet, but
next week it`s back to work, and school for the kids:o)

This is another Heartfelt Creations DT card. The Tulip bucket is as usual colored with Distress Inks. It is a tall card, and I kept the layout and details rather simple. Papers are from Graphic 45.

Thanksgiving....

If I can do Christmas in July, I can certainly do Thanksgiving too, right!?
This sweet little pumpkin image, and text are both from Heartfelt Creations. The pumpkins are gold embossed and colored with Distress inks. I have used papers from Cosmo Cricket, and lots of stitches.... Border punch from Martha Stewart. And I think that`s about it.

Just to let you know, I`m going on vacation in a couple of days (FINALLY!!), so it might be a little quiet around here...
I hope all of you are enjoying the summer too, thanksgiving is yet far away...luckily:o)

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Autumn Corsage

In fear of ruining the wonderful summer feeling, I have made a card in autumn colors!
I must admit though, that I hope that autumn is far away...:o)
The gorgeous autumn corsage image is from Heartfelt Creations. It is colored as usual with distress inks, and layered for the 3d effect. I have also used a lot of gold embossing and bling... and some glossy accents for the berries.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and enjoy the summer!!

Prepare yourselves for some GLAM !

I absolutely love neutral or earth tone colors, but sometimes I just feel like doing something bright and colorful. That`s how this card ended up in HOT pink...*LOL*
Well, the card is made for
Heartfelt Creations, with this beautiful rose image.
The image was colored with Le Plume Markers, cut and layered for the 3d effect.

I hope everyone enjoy these beautiful summer days. I am still going to work for 3 looong weeks before my summer vacation:)

Thanks so much for visiting!!

Summer!

One of my favorite things about summer is Strawberries!! I absolutely love them. They taste like heaven, and are beautiful too:) This gorgeous strawberry stamp is from Heartfelt Creations, and as usual colored with Distress Inks. I tried to give it a touch of summer with the red and the pink togheter.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and enjoy the rest of this beautiful Sunday!
