Bildmalarna and Papercraft Scandinavia

Last week I received an amazing envelope from my sweet norwegian friend Linda. I know Linda from the time I designed for Ladybug and Friends and she is such a sweet woman who certainly knows how to spoil a girl;-) Linda still designs the most amazing and gorgeous patterned papers and asked me if I want to make some cards with her paper. Seriously? Who could resist such a FAB offer! So here's my first card made with the Ladybug and Friends Christmas Quilt Collection, you can find this at Papercraft Scandinavia

I've combined the paper with a cute Bildmalarna stamp Mimosa CupCake, she's colored with Copic Sketches and Stickles.

Have a wonderful day,
Inge

MFTWSC47, Happy Holidays

Wow weeks fly by, and so it's time for yet another and new My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch at Splitcoaststampers. Again a fun sketch to make a bunch of Christmas cards. I 've stamped PI Stocking Girl and paperpieced her with desingpaper and colored with Copic Sketches. Her pyama's are popped up with Jody's foam dimensionals. I kept the card quite simple just as the sketch is. Again I made crumbled flowers just like last week:)

-Inside card-

Bildmalarna, Challenge 12 Glitter!

En nog weer een kerstkaart, zo schiet het al lekker op! Deze kaart doet ook mee aan de challenge op de Bildmalarna blog challenge 12...Glitter. De sneeuwvlok is één en al glitter plus de bloemetjes die met Stickles zijn aangezet. Het schattige Bildmalarna Mimosa meisje (Mimosa Christmas Flower) heb ik gekregen als afdrukje van San die deze  stempel heeft gekocht op de Krea Doe;-) Dank je wel San! Mimosa is gekleurd met Copic Sketches uitgeknipt en opgeplakt met Jody's Sticky Stuff, black dimensionals

Een fijne avond!

MFTWSC46, Joy to the world

And again a xmas card, this time made with My Favorite Things Sketch number 46! The fact I love most about sketches is that you don't have to think about a lay out it's all done for you so perfect to make a bunch of xmas cards at once when you've chosen your papers and stamps. I chose Pure Innocence Christmas Caroler and by paperpiecing you save lots of time with non coloring. I only colored the face, hands and hair with Copics. The bit of shine around the candle is done with chalks.

-Inside card-

For the inside of the card I stamped PI on kraft with brown archival and cut her out by hand.

Bildmalarna, Merry Christmas

En nog een kerstkaartje, het tempo zit er lekker in maar ik heb er dan ook nog al wat te gaan. Kaartje is gemaakt met Bildmalarna's Excited Mimosa in combinatie met het designpapier wat ik bij het vorige kaartje ook heb gebruikt het lag er ten slotte toch al;) Verleden week op de Krea Doe heb ik mij met San heerlijk staan te vergapen aan allemaal lieve Bildmalarna stempeltjes maar was al bijna door mijn budgetje heen dus heb ze terug gelegd. Thuis gekomen toch online een paar besteld, kon het niet laten *zucht* Mimosa is gekleurd met prisma pencils, Stickles en chalk.

Een heel fijn weekend nog!
Inge

Krea Doe 2011

Goedemorgen allemaal! Even bijkomen met een bakkie na een heerlijke shop dag gisteren met San, Car en Diaan oh meiden wat was het gezellig en overweldigend. Al die mensen....poehee! Na een gezellige treinreis met San kwamen we aan in Utrecht en liepen we mee met de stroom knutselmutsies en pikten we Diaan en Car op binnen bij de jassen. Snel naar binnen en go with the flow. We hadden allemaal een lijstje wat afgewerkt moest worden met als grootste wens Het Maja Design Vintage Blokje. Hele beurs afgestruind en in geen velden of wegen nog maar één blokje MD te vinden aaaargh! Gelukkig zijn we uiteindelijk dan toch nog geslaagd voor de 30 x 30 vellen, je mot wat.
Veel nieuws heb ik niet gezien, misschien zijn wel ook wel erg verwend door al de online winkels van over de gehele wereld waar je 24-7 kunt shoppen. Wat mij wat tegenviel wat dat er bijna geen leuke spectaculaire aanbiedingen waren, ik bedoel maar daarvoor kom je toch naar een beurs. En elke scrapstand had hetzelfde assorti, de paar uitzonderingen daargelaten ik noem bijvoorbeeld een Ludiec, Posthumus en een leuk klein (voor mij) nieuw zweeds winkeltje ReprintHobby. Nevertheless we hebben gelachen, gegierd en gebruld en als afsluiting nog een workshop gedaan bij Posthumus.

Is tie niet gaaaf! Een houten kerstboompje bestempeld, okee hier en daar wat schoonheidsfoutjes maar het was dan ook voor het eerst dat ik op hout heb gestempeld LOL Ik vind 'm leuk en lekker glitterig dat mag he met kerst:P

Oh en nog even héél wat anders, hebben jullie gezien dat ik gastblogger ben bij Inge van BlogBlom, gaaf he en oh wat een lieve woorden *trots* Thanks Ing!!!

Een fijne maandag allemaal!

Bildmalarna, Joy to the world

And another post today, just had some fun making this matchbox for the Challenge on the Bildmalarna Challenge blog and the challenge is called Decorating a Matchbox with ofcourse a Bildmalarna stamped image. I chose Mimosa with Birdhouse and only used the Mimosa image. I wanted to make something XMas and don't have Bildmalarna xmas stamps (yet) so a girl has to be creative and gotta think outside the (match)box :P I had this image for ages and never inked her up... oh the shame. While coloring her I had so much fun, so more Mimosa cards are following for sure!
I colored Mimosa with Prisma Color Pencils and cut her out by hand. I used some Die-namics to embellish the box and crumbled the flowers for a bit more vintage look.

Have a fun weekend!
Inge.

Stamps: Bildmalarna Mimosa with Birdhouse | Die-namics: Tag Your It, High Tea Party Doily, Framed Greetings, Flower Trio and Leaf Trio, Fancy Flourish | Paper: Kraft, MME paperpad | Other: Prisma Color Pencils, Button Twine Rustic Cream, American Craft Button

November MFT Release, New Product Tour

Jippieee it's finally here....Release Day at My Favorite Things Stamps. Hope you all have had a fab time this past week by visiting our blogs and being inspired with what possibilities there are with all the new stamp sets and Die-namics! We have to show you a lot of creations and a fun blog hop. You can start at Kim's blog to see the list of participating DT members.

My creation is made with Clearly Sentimental about Abundance which was last month's Triple Scoop stamp set. I stamped one of the sentiments on the Clearly Sentimental Label and after that I stamped with a slightly lighter brown PI Chrysanthemum. I just love the effect of this on the label!

-Inside card-

My Favorite Things Pre-Release Pep Rally

Hello and goodmorning, today we are having something fun for you...it's November MFT Die Namics Feature and Pre Release Pep Rally day! All the participating My Favorite Things DT members will show you on their blogs fun tips & tricks, things you can do with the new Dies, how they work with the new sets and you will find tutorials/video's on your way hopping. So sit back, take a cup of tea/coffee and enjoy!

Are you ready for some psychedelic '60 colors? Yeah Baby, put on your sunglasses because I've used some DCWV retro papers for my card in combination with the cute á La Modes Disco Queen. Two decades combined with each other;) I took the new Clearly Sentimental Label and cut it out twice with my Big shot (one time blue, one time kraft). The I took the label from the Layered Label Die and put it on the cut out Kraft CS Label, taped it carefully right in the middle and again ran it through the Big Shot. Now you've got a little window. I took Jody's black foam dimensional boosters and taped them behind the Kraft window and glued it on the blue CS Label.

 A close up, see what I mean? Cool isn't it? So the story here is, don't be afraid to combine all your Die-namics it's so much fun!!! As an extra background  I've used the Pretty Pocket Die and Stampset, perfection in combination with this á La Modes. The swirls and flowers are from the Pretty Pocket Stampset, stamped on cardstock with brown Archival and cut out by hand.

-Inside Card-

Here are the Die-namics I've used:
