Glitter Me Silly

Hello all … oh… today is a fun challenge posted over on Cute Card Challenge blog :-) “Glitter Me Silly” looove it – you can give me this challenge anytime of the year lol. Okay… there is something about this Tilda… first i saw her used on a card last year by my friend Jacqueline. After that i HAD to have her. By the time i had her – it was too late in the season to use her on cards.. and this year.. i don’t know.. i have started to color her 2x and than misplaced my design paper that i had matched the colors with and the images never made it onto a card. hahaha… just so you know there might be coming some more cards with her if i ever remember what papers to use with the image.

I think iam a bit chatty today. Back to the card… the paper here is one sheet of double sided Reminisce paper. I love the strong reds on it. The entire punched out lattice i used lots of Stickles and also on the swirls and candy she is having in her basket. On the ground i have used Flower Soft Polar White for sparkle. Polar White has a bit more sparkle in it than the Ivory color. Unfortunately i could not get it really nice to show on my picture. I think it is wroth to get that color. (you know me.. i do not use Flower Soft that often)

Other embellishments not mentioned above: Felt flowers are by “Little Yellow Bicycle”, red glove charm (Merry Minis – Michaels) ribbon (Magnolia), Hardware (Stampin up) Gems (Hero Arts)

Tag Card

Hello all.. uh! These days iam always last minute with my postings and cards. I am definitely getting in to the holiday rush to get things prepared. Well… i was preparing my DT tasks for Magnolia ink #2 the last couple of weeks and I still was making cards to show for my blog. On this big tag I “skipped” the detailed coloring of the image with Copic Markers. I think it does “work”, all what i have done is using lots and lots of different colors of Shimmerz spritz and Smootch paints. Voila’ a “vintage” looking tag to add to a present or to write a note on.

Stamps: In2stamps Toy store can be purchased at In2Stamps or in the USA at 7kids College Fund

Papers: Basic Grey Wassail,
Embellishments: Prima Marketing flowers
Tools: Martha Stewart (Twig and arched lattice punch), Nestabilities: (Curved Rectangles)

A Christmas Gift Idea

 

Hello, thank you for swinging by today. Today i show you something that i have prepared for a friend to give for Christmas. Well.. i had hoped that i could figure out how to blurr the name on the shield that cute lil Flicka is holding but i just could not figure it out :-( so i have added my watermark over it in the hope it is not too visible.

I store my own Shimmerz paints in this clear box that i used from my favorite Chocolates Ferrero Rocher hmmmm yummy :-) because the box is narrow and the paint jars fit nicely in. For my present i had to buy an other box, eat all the chocolate (what a pain) :-) and than i have lined the box at the bottom with some patterned paper and decorated the top.

The label i created with Photoshop Elements (which took me probably the longest lol), just cut out with Nestabilitie oval shape and for shimmer i had to use Shimmerz paint in Gold  :-). Unfortunately i have forgotten to take a picture of the inside of the lid. I have made a little chart so my friend can add some color samples inside the chart and see how the color looks on paper so she can make an easy decision what matches her project. Inside this box is also a set of brushes to use with the paints.

Oh, and since the labels of the paint jars were all different shapes i have added with my Dymo label maker my own. The tags are not glued permanently on – so if my friend does not like the look, she can take them easily off.

This is an easy and fairly fast gift idea – the box did not really cost anything and the paints can be purchased for a good price and a nice variety at 7kids College Fund.

Joyful

Hello, a wonderful start in a new week to all of you!
Today i would love to show you a card made with one of my new Motivet stamps. Believe it or not.. but to color this image took me a long time. I think the little scene here is just adorable but if you need to produce a bunch of cards last minute – i think that’s not the pick :-) However as you can tell – i loved making a card with this image. I picked some of my Cosmo Cricket paper that features some warm colors and added this “scroll” hardware embellishment with my sentiment in it to the card. The “glass” actually can be opened like you would do with this old clock on the chimney to move the arms. This is a special card for me and it will be sent to a very special friend of mine :-).
