If Wishes could make you well…

Hello ladies.. a little late … my card for Just Magnolia. For this week we would like to see Spring themed cards.

sitting on the window ledge.. wondering … how are you?

Well…. if you have seen my “coloring” posting … this is the finished card I have made with the Hanglar Stanglar image. I hope you like it …. sorry English is not my first language and it is still hard to explain things. I think next time when I try to explain things I might just write in German and offer for you guys that Google blogger translator gadget. Might be a good option.

this weeks challenge on Just Magnolia/Just Hanglar Stanglar….
Use windows (in any kind or form) or doors on your card – think folds or shaker cards

Satin ribbon and crochet ribbon is from the Ribbon Girls

As always with love!!!!

Take Care Of Yourself

Hello sweets… today I can post one of my cards I did submit in July 2011 to a book. This one did not make the cut along with a Magnolia card but iam happy one of my cards did make it. I can tell you in a little while more. Eventually I am going to be able to give 1 book away as candy here on my blog.

since it is been a while I made the card I can not recall too much. I know the image was colored only with Copic Markers – the Paper is by Maja Design and the cute image is by Lili of the Valley “Milly Cuddle Time”– Sentiment is Stampin up.

I as always would like to say thanks for swinging by aaaand… TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF mwah

When you are feeling poorly and blue

Hello dear friends.

Time for a Lili of the Valley card. OMG.. i had this cute image stamped out for quite a long time. I just adore the sweet charm of it.



If you like this card… please have a look at my Ebay store.. i just listed it for sale.  

I wanted to use bright and cheerful colors on this get well card but at the same time have some earthy colors in it. I hope i picked the right paper pack. 

Supplies:
Lili of the Valley “Little Nurse” Sentiment: is from the clear addition release April 2011 – Papers: My Minds Eye
All ribbons are by The Ribbon Girl

Get Well Wishes

Hello, i hope you have a great day today. Well.. i stumbled over this cute paper while i was looking for some matching colors to one of my Magnolia cards. In the back of this block (K&Company ~ 4.75x6.75 Ancestry) was this beautiful caramel with vintage red roses paper and i was totally drawn to it. I thought it can not hurt to make a fall card for the Friday Sketcher blog. Tanja provided for us a sketch for this week. Since i had this sketch in my mind already sort of figured out – i wanted the label 10 first than layered with a standard oval i had to find a matching image. This one is by Bilderama and you can find it in the sale section, check it out.. Cute Stamps and Cards has the brand new Fall images already in the store.

Hopefully you will play along and post your own creation on the Friday Sketcher blog The fabulous Sassy Sketcher girls who have made a card for this week are: Aud, Bea, Inge, Carole, Jacque, Janneke, Jeanette & Tanja 

Tomorrow things look brighter

Hello, a very good morning and a good start.

Today i want to show you a card made with one of the very new Whiff Of Joy stamps from the Get Well Collection. Wow.. at least those stamps arrived! Still waiting on my Magnolia Spring kit – which was ordered November 9!!! By the time this “hopefully” arrives, the stamps are probably old :-( Not too happy about that.

My gosh.. you know how much i love all the Uru/Wee images but in this collection ALL the images are so adorable. Elizabeth Bell and Alison Acton they all had fabulous ideas for this theme.

This card was just a “quick” one.. i first had in mind to add a little pocket and add a tea bag to it .. It is just crazy here in my house recently and i had to cut a bit back on my crafting time – cause if i would have incooperated my pocket it would have been in the inside and that would have needed a “extra” treatment.

Get Well Soon

Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today!
I am so happy to have a reason to squeeze a little NON-Christmas card in between. I don’t know have not even received all my Christmas stamps and have already enough? Oh well..
I just got a few days ago my order of some Yummy-for-Your-Tummy stamps that were missing in my collection and i could not resist to add some of the new Magnolia papers as well. Saw too many nice cards made with it so i had to give it a try too.

Made a rather simple card but i like the change. The tea cup and this cute Tilda is perfect for a “Get Well” card iam pretty sure i will need in the near future :-)

Since the card has not many layers i have just stamped the tea cup once onto Neenah White paper with Memento Ink, cut out with circle Nestabilities. Than stamped the cup again, colored with some grey makers, cut out and added Paper Glaze to it. Than once all dried adhered it with pop up dots over the cup stamped onto the circle. I first wanted to add to the handle of the cup the “get well” sentiment but loved the heart charm better.

 Other:
Nestabilities:Label , pin, Magnolia flower, lace, Pearl stickers, Fiskars Border punch

If Wishes Could Make You Well...

Good morning :-) oh my.. i totally forgot that it is already Thursday :-) My card for CCT Challenge to use big numbers or letters was finished.. but it slipped my mind lol.

Thought i in cooperate this big "S" for Sorry - but it would have worked for any kind of personalized kid cards (my son friends name is Sam). I went with the really crazy pattern of the Basic Grey "Ricky" stack. To be honest when i bought that paper i was not sure if i would have any ideas for the bird paper and now it is the first one to be used :-)

Get Well

Hello.. wow iam late today.. especially since i had this photo already finished. This card was made using supplies i have received through Magnolia Sweden. I like that grey organic patterned Designer Paper. I thought that it would really nice with the watering can and just let this nice design shine. I have made a second card using this very versatile stamp - in bright cheerful colors that gives the card a totally different look. This one i thought would be great "get well" card. I just added some color to the wings of the butterfly in pink.

Hello and a wonderful weekend. You are probably wondering what this "sick little bug" is doing on my blog at this time of the year :-) but there are still so many people not feeling well.
