I`m trying to stop hoarding and use up most of the beautiful easter papers I have left from the beautiful "Sagan om våren" collection from Pion design. Pion design was probably my favorite brand regarding patteren papers for cards. Back then all my cards had a Copic colored image and I love the softness and the colors of this brands paper. So sad they no longer exist to create their beautiful paper collections for us.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6zfvJ1d8-On-1S79C9cg6AGPzXfvJwb97z3aGzdQ0tmmb3Uwmh7e69Qn4bvfnUQ2SeskKkXT6I_b3E3e6QrRHVcES6Xvhcm7CeYOsCy38X9M_q4jqzVIRt5btnWU8ZKj14w_lyk6tMWEzcIMZUxPhiz2Zq2H29Vtar-Mb4257fvrcGAqpgTTAXT6rB3o/s828/IMG_4928.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="777" data-original-width="828" height="465" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6zfvJ1d8-On-1S79C9cg6AGPzXfvJwb97z3aGzdQ0tmmb3Uwmh7e69Qn4bvfnUQ2SeskKkXT6I_b3E3e6QrRHVcES6Xvhcm7CeYOsCy38X9M_q4jqzVIRt5btnWU8ZKj14w_lyk6tMWEzcIMZUxPhiz2Zq2H29Vtar-Mb4257fvrcGAqpgTTAXT6rB3o/w497-h465/IMG_4928.jpeg" width="497" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">This card is 5.5*5.5 inches, a card size I like to create once in a while.

And today was the day I finally got around to sit down and enjoy myself coloring up this very old but cute and loved Tilda stamp from Magnolia. I also went stash diving on the papers, ending up with some lovely papers from Pion design that sadly are closed down. There are so many cute stamps to color up and tons of pretty paper so I hope this still can inspire you to get out your coloring medium and play around and create something beautiful, or just enjoy the process of coloring.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGXlu1QCbn66oTzi9Er2rBQivWS2OKwuPhhMiusLprdbfalPhEOnzXcbRTNi-eXoWyWaKaNsycx6ILOlC0pR78W74d228STuJq7WiLITMsPzPsbgR5n0tR_Z_fT4hJZq1ta0zs66QxAFsaPcc7rNbaS7Wer0vX1qEFwHK6gA5MNMzGmHIauiXPEgM9sYk/s2422/IMG_4803.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2275" data-original-width="2422" height="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGXlu1QCbn66oTzi9Er2rBQivWS2OKwuPhhMiusLprdbfalPhEOnzXcbRTNi-eXoWyWaKaNsycx6ILOlC0pR78W74d228STuJq7WiLITMsPzPsbgR5n0tR_Z_fT4hJZq1ta0zs66QxAFsaPcc7rNbaS7Wer0vX1qEFwHK6gA5MNMzGmHIauiXPEgM9sYk/w478-h450/IMG_4803.jpeg" width="478" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I inked up all the edges of my papers with Distress ink in Vintage photo, going in a bit more heavy around my colored image. I used a circle die that I only cut partially around my image before fussy cutting the rest around her hat. I placed her on a napkin and popped herup on foam tape. I also used foam dots to add dimension on my panels. I used a lace and a strip from the same paper collection to add some interest under my image. Then I glued on some skeleton leaves in green, added some rolled flowers and a little wooden bunny from Wycinanka. The cute little yellow duck is a button from Buttons galore Spring pack that I got as a gift in my latest order from Bikuben so I thought it was fun to include that on my card.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLFDIXYsoCC4NJpGrTk9MeSwB_7E_jQ4zf7bSxLncEq77-I6yVbQozT4C7cmL22Uu2aAkoR8PJehLzUEaSFcYyNsEJME3e702XZsX7NvW8fSC1fYcpmvfvxxJIvO8w_xUuB2BVv6nYXsppxn3xxr8S5Z3K9yo27AiNETwB0CWP89jHeI6qHavBCAWaWSM/s4032/IMG_4802.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2587" height="732" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLFDIXYsoCC4NJpGrTk9MeSwB_7E_jQ4zf7bSxLncEq77-I6yVbQozT4C7cmL22Uu2aAkoR8PJehLzUEaSFcYyNsEJME3e702XZsX7NvW8fSC1fYcpmvfvxxJIvO8w_xUuB2BVv6nYXsppxn3xxr8S5Z3K9yo27AiNETwB0CWP89jHeI6qHavBCAWaWSM/w469-h732/IMG_4802.jpeg" width="469" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Today I wanted to challenge myself and try a different approach when coloring my image. I started putting down a thin base layer with my lightest color in my color blend. Then moving on to my darkest mid tone or the darkest color in my color blend and then work my way down again. Going back to deepen my shadows and smoothing my blending with a second coat. Usually, I color dark to light, mapping out my shadows with my lightest or a lighter mid tone color before going with my darkest marker coloring dark to light. When coloring hair, I often go with my second darkest marker first since I can be a bit heavy with my darker strokes. This gives the darker hair color version of the color blend. And that`s totally fine, except when I want to enhance the lighter colors and only keep my darker markers for the deepest shades.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitDdA6Fzm-0lXviJ-n79a7PBGkwqXdNYXR1yaRYstB9tSz-TLHLvTQVzXOZDWuwCRMSvWas_Yw8hLJtzNyY48TojqKaEqycpfQPjLhuWRf7bqha2VPKPq0ScDqb7y8gopiDmfBP6___OYKtRa3DvWSfiW9BpVomUjdJ8UsTH3T6G1x9fgAT2Ez3qq__Dk/s4032/IMG_4801.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="617" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitDdA6Fzm-0lXviJ-n79a7PBGkwqXdNYXR1yaRYstB9tSz-TLHLvTQVzXOZDWuwCRMSvWas_Yw8hLJtzNyY48TojqKaEqycpfQPjLhuWRf7bqha2VPKPq0ScDqb7y8gopiDmfBP6___OYKtRa3DvWSfiW9BpVomUjdJ8UsTH3T6G1x9fgAT2Ez3qq__Dk/w463-h617/IMG_4801.jpeg" width="463" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>I`m playing along with Simon Says Stamp challenges this week, and the theme is a bit of green, so I colored accordingly.

I totally fell in love with the <a href="https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/fantasy-moon-printable-craft-digital-stamp-download-svg-papers-greetings/" target="_blank"><i>fantasy moon </i></a>digistamp from Polkadoodles and if you like to grab yourself a copy it`s on great sale right now. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I`m working in my A5 mixed media stone paper journal from Stamperia. I started out with distress acrylic paint in tumbled glass, stormy sky, blueprint sketch and vilted violet. The paint is applied directly on the paper then using horizontal strokes with a dry brush to randomly distribute the paint leaving streaks in the different colors visible. To darken the overall look and feel, and also to frame my layout I used black paint that I applied with a sponge dabber dabbing around the edges on my page.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7vxy5FhH4zkgc7voFiEYdz8a8KfZhRuy5iEt4a41oT3dpiXNwOcJuynfvyDbumRTUt6ftt672dfDNXCo0DoCzw9ftm7TrjEYG0CggUBBc2QswiKsyNNBAAkixEfrvSx18G4A1ltHTtL4Azd1qu3plX19OmuO1O9qye2yfAe_9BEnxY7KlmZDGc0EaKfU/s3873/IMG_4649shine.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3873" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7vxy5FhH4zkgc7voFiEYdz8a8KfZhRuy5iEt4a41oT3dpiXNwOcJuynfvyDbumRTUt6ftt672dfDNXCo0DoCzw9ftm7TrjEYG0CggUBBc2QswiKsyNNBAAkixEfrvSx18G4A1ltHTtL4Azd1qu3plX19OmuO1O9qye2yfAe_9BEnxY7KlmZDGc0EaKfU/w558-h436/IMG_4649shine.jpeg" width="558" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">For my focal point printed out the digistamp in the desired size twice to get enough flowers and leaves for both pages. Then I started coloring the moon and worked on getting some visual texture. I both sprinkled colorless blender on it and dotting the colors in the shaded areas making sure not to over do it as I didn`t want the moon to be too dotted looking. Next, I colored all the flowers and leaves also on the second page before fussy cutting everything. When I have lots of little details to cut I just take my time and enjoy the process doing the best I can.

I am a guest designer at The Male Room Challenge, and this month`s theme is valentine/ use a heart. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: #fefcfc;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I really enjoy playing along on The Male Room as this challenges me to make masculine cards. After all, I have three sons, and the challenge themes are fun to play along with. You should head on over and play along too. Lots of great inspiration from the DT as well as the other participants. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: #fefcfc;">For this card I decided to make a 6*6 card base in a very light brown/beige color. I backed my patterned paper with a dark brown cardstock as to double frame the image. I went stash diving for this pattern paper and found this from the old Time Machine collection from Kaisercraft. I`m so happy with this, it gave the exact feel I was going for with this card.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrWVCrsQo073ehqxmoWUKnmhwoRR_1uy5RLWYW0pxsQ0YRrxNwp7NtZ68DNT27MYSZKjuco-o62Tel8g0gTh7sCRg5aBPQPmNyvvU3QxUOtv2JbTUMI6HRAf2a1qk9_W_U8gbAwEzX30RtXvRGPy2ac3tYWF_ZoT2PWDMKkEnT1DnfyD-sxPNnVSyj4vg/s3217/IMG_4322valentine.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3217" data-original-width="2920" height="571" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrWVCrsQo073ehqxmoWUKnmhwoRR_1uy5RLWYW0pxsQ0YRrxNwp7NtZ68DNT27MYSZKjuco-o62Tel8g0gTh7sCRg5aBPQPmNyvvU3QxUOtv2JbTUMI6HRAf2a1qk9_W_U8gbAwEzX30RtXvRGPy2ac3tYWF_ZoT2PWDMKkEnT1DnfyD-sxPNnVSyj4vg/w517-h571/IMG_4322valentine.jpeg" width="517" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">For my focal point I used heart strings embossing folder from Elisabeth craft that I`ve had forever. But I`m sure you can find something similar. I just used this embossing folder on <a href="https://ckndesign.blogspot.com/2024/01/heart-strings.html">another card</a>, and I love how totally different cards you can make with the same products. I cut out a scallop heart with the nesting dies from Xcut and used foam dots to pop it up. The sentiment is actually a part of the papers zip strip and I glued it on a strip of the other side of the pattern paper so it matches perfectly in color. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIDF-ve0nBiUdqQG2CGjg8r6pgZ9GPOkp_jFlDhYdoskla7oLanOPnhTCQ5LAfRFcF6iPC8UAAO6FZHqvNEHC8ostcoXsbflOle7UeE9IESMbHP4_mjqhiuBk3Iq9yEIc_-9RRmaYd3XmXxvZZ4XUoguEr9I1oWq0nCDCaEN25AbBVfmgxrxnTaO8uCnM/s4032/IMG_4323valentine.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="691" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIDF-ve0nBiUdqQG2CGjg8r6pgZ9GPOkp_jFlDhYdoskla7oLanOPnhTCQ5LAfRFcF6iPC8UAAO6FZHqvNEHC8ostcoXsbflOle7UeE9IESMbHP4_mjqhiuBk3Iq9yEIc_-9RRmaYd3XmXxvZZ4XUoguEr9I1oWq0nCDCaEN25AbBVfmgxrxnTaO8uCnM/w518-h691/IMG_4323valentine.jpeg" width="518" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The metal leaves are from Prima and the light brown and brown dots are from Papirdesign. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">To grunge it up a little I punched holes and put in some eyelets in brass on each side of the sentiment.

This is such a fun technique and the result you get is so cool. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I think this background stamp from Penny Black is so pretty and it`s perfect for this technique. I stamped and heat embossed with Lindy`s white embossing powder. For my colours I used Distress ink in Tumbled glass, Peacock feathers, maybe a tad of Salty ocean and Vintage photo. I layed down the ink going diagonal. Then I lightly went over with a baby wipe to remove any excess ink on top of the embossed pattern. If you want to give the card a more feminine feel, you can just use different colors of ink. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitzAidbZxZQOoY30epKE7T05A08wFYm-_1yn1uxeBKGa-AEN_WlwfZhtJPCIAExm8J_ZuoZr39imyzX9M_Bt5nvTPkRTspXDRPiQQme-HxorgE9AYp3kQlRQJ7gep0N2DRo4joa0T0XQGM26m_jwBn1B7BdOiAQseZUdxhHZF9TTtWmbIM9MWlhNDR5nM/s3135/IMG_4331valentine%20cards.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3135" data-original-width="3024" height="493" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitzAidbZxZQOoY30epKE7T05A08wFYm-_1yn1uxeBKGa-AEN_WlwfZhtJPCIAExm8J_ZuoZr39imyzX9M_Bt5nvTPkRTspXDRPiQQme-HxorgE9AYp3kQlRQJ7gep0N2DRo4joa0T0XQGM26m_jwBn1B7BdOiAQseZUdxhHZF9TTtWmbIM9MWlhNDR5nM/w476-h493/IMG_4331valentine%20cards.jpeg" width="476" /></a></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Next I cut down my panel to size and I also cut out a heart before I used foam tape to glue down my panel to my A2 card base.

I really do enjoy sitting down with some "me- time" and just letting creativity flow, playing around with colors, textures and fun techniques. Today I got my inspiration from the napkin that I used on this layout. The colors and the beautiful flowers are right up my ally. And I do love the black background even though I ended up tearing away most of it for this project. I actually got these napkin somewhere eating out, making sure not to spill so I could take it with me😂</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I saw that Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge blog theme this week was texture and they were showcasing Tim Holz products. So I wanted to really challenge myself limiting myself to use mostly products from him. Why the challenge? Because I have like one old stamp set and a few stencils from him. But I just got my new distress paints that I`ve wanted for a while, and I also got the Opac Distress crackle paste. Lots of products I never tried before, so this was fun.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNlNr1mrdRtOmFBqRGD217vR8ZEEjKlT2jE78vGOzoHxdcEC5guwdIBKj2SUnpArPgLD998gO15KE9Myc1OchXZbCsa9ErW5L797U_gnLzwkJXKlm5i-bDHcEJN3alCVcjSsg-pO1ZcggsaY81PYDzusgP4Z4W5OlVC3T5ClSD_QIuBiddxK1acVyVHo0/s4032/IMG_4426resilient.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="411" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNlNr1mrdRtOmFBqRGD217vR8ZEEjKlT2jE78vGOzoHxdcEC5guwdIBKj2SUnpArPgLD998gO15KE9Myc1OchXZbCsa9ErW5L797U_gnLzwkJXKlm5i-bDHcEJN3alCVcjSsg-pO1ZcggsaY81PYDzusgP4Z4W5OlVC3T5ClSD_QIuBiddxK1acVyVHo0/w547-h411/IMG_4426resilient.jpeg" width="547" /></span></a></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">For my background, I used distress paint in Dried marigold, Ripe persimmon, Wild honey and Rusty hinge, applying the colors randomly with a dry flat brush. After drying this first layer, I applied a mix of wild honey and dried marigold with a sponge dabbing it over the Harlequin stencil from Tim Holtz to add some texture to my background. Next, I applied a thin layer of the Distress Opack crackle paste using the Clockwork stencil. I added some white splashes with acrylic paint and used a black marker to draw a black frame around the page.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU4ZoY2NGu9aKzRdxYw9CC60YXOgg8U_vssSX3hrN3o_Nc9spwrfeCtEPySRUsULP0FAY8LokHOEDuw16gAGr4Pk4IHpp9tt9PZouL8STvI_AkWB962XInsBCd9rWLbNR4rD32ueIsF0zMpfineXQaF6MniiExh9JppHz0vta5oDvL9pvgknt-9IiOBZM/s4032/IMG_4422resilient.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="413" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU4ZoY2NGu9aKzRdxYw9CC60YXOgg8U_vssSX3hrN3o_Nc9spwrfeCtEPySRUsULP0FAY8LokHOEDuw16gAGr4Pk4IHpp9tt9PZouL8STvI_AkWB962XInsBCd9rWLbNR4rD32ueIsF0zMpfineXQaF6MniiExh9JppHz0vta5oDvL9pvgknt-9IiOBZM/w549-h413/IMG_4422resilient.jpeg" width="549" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><p>Finally time to add my napkin flowers, leaving one layer of white as to not have the flowers disapeare on my painted background. I kind of wish I left all layers, but it turned out clear enough. I used clear gesso to glue my pieces down, also adding a coat on top of the flowers. The butterfly is from an old Stampers Anonymous Tim Holz stamp set that I`ve had forever called Fairytale Frenzy CMS 058. It`s the only stamp set I own from him today, but I really do love it.</p></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgiREG1i_U4SvpfvpBcGBqFcVEuUZnXGgQKZIG66_vdQa7oJmg2ZCO27-vkBfyUQoRUTV50SXk_oVP_2C8hY6TZF15sGUv4d-Klq9kxumoZIC9rdrS7T70AYTVDk1dzjBefJjFjFaCgfp2MYbBolJp0_wcQ3yo65rUIBBz7XTOkkw3qQ2GABaYfg7hoYE/s3662/IMG_4425%20resilient.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2924" data-original-width="3662" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgiREG1i_U4SvpfvpBcGBqFcVEuUZnXGgQKZIG66_vdQa7oJmg2ZCO27-vkBfyUQoRUTV50SXk_oVP_2C8hY6TZF15sGUv4d-Klq9kxumoZIC9rdrS7T70AYTVDk1dzjBefJjFjFaCgfp2MYbBolJp0_wcQ3yo65rUIBBz7XTOkkw3qQ2GABaYfg7hoYE/w479-h383/IMG_4425%20resilient.jpeg" width="479" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sorry for the bad lighting in this last photo.

(PD2100365) The words strong, kind, loving, beautiful and hopeful are stickers from Tim Holtz Big chat. I run my finger over the edges of the word stickers lightly with some clear gesso on before I sprinkled SSS ultra fine embossing powder in Antique gold just to add something extra to them. I also added a bit of Finnabair true black glitter on some of the black areas around the flowers, but it was hard to catch on photo with my phone. I created this double page in my stone paper art journal from Stamperia. </span></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I had so much fun creating this layout.

I love the clean and elegant look these cards have. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">To add some texture I used an embossing folder with heart strings from Elizabeth crafts. I`ve had this in my stash forever, but I`m sure you can find something similar. To add some bling and interest to my card I framed my dry embossed panel with strips of Polar Bear cardstock from My Colors cardstock leaving a slight border. The Polar Bear cardstock has a beautiful sparkly finish. Next, I glued it on my A2 card base using foam squares to add some more dimension to the card. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBssLdU4JceF5peeEQ8ecAKhTbANoC1Kzf1nHPsv9R3jy0aD4VIHauwIU_m7i3yVYfwMfuJ8EOgZ14Xq9m01oihMfSvI96tbV2ORJ43xLeYg3ZzmfRo8NwKtu6-Lo2r90rFzNeXQinPz4gjqpsfvWWYxeHcOQ6PcJSC_tOPmPeeMB0nC8qWuU5x8H0mwA/s2627/IMG_4333whitevalentine.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2627" data-original-width="2262" height="555" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBssLdU4JceF5peeEQ8ecAKhTbANoC1Kzf1nHPsv9R3jy0aD4VIHauwIU_m7i3yVYfwMfuJ8EOgZ14Xq9m01oihMfSvI96tbV2ORJ43xLeYg3ZzmfRo8NwKtu6-Lo2r90rFzNeXQinPz4gjqpsfvWWYxeHcOQ6PcJSC_tOPmPeeMB0nC8qWuU5x8H0mwA/w479-h555/IMG_4333whitevalentine.jpeg" width="479" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I cut out a heart from black cardstock and these heart shaped stickers in greens and blues fit perfectly.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I had planned to add a Valentine -ish sentiment on this card, but I loved the clean look on this so I decided against it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk3okU6wLL3GmyGl_t5rX-tU82H41Q28PrO-QNs10Qfh80ctNGlXtM8oeCCkr4nXuDLuDkqZlkTy6ACb8erqbE1SgLVMB3dk5AWmWgBvcUMOwsPR4jkhOUeJlk9WAdCu0Qgix0DynbsPjjnsYwFHc0i0omGZJm_5nVsjvYuk28JZB0pTIWmGuoSG26I_I/s2345/IMG_4337whitevalentine.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1815" data-original-width="2345" height="365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk3okU6wLL3GmyGl_t5rX-tU82H41Q28PrO-QNs10Qfh80ctNGlXtM8oeCCkr4nXuDLuDkqZlkTy6ACb8erqbE1SgLVMB3dk5AWmWgBvcUMOwsPR4jkhOUeJlk9WAdCu0Qgix0DynbsPjjnsYwFHc0i0omGZJm_5nVsjvYuk28JZB0pTIWmGuoSG26I_I/w471-h365/IMG_4337whitevalentine.jpeg" width="471" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">And here is another look....

I like to make the cards similar just playing around with colors and pattern papers when multiple kids celebrate together. These cards are quick to make, and you can easily replicate the idea using different shapes for your card base. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiyhr00rg7jaE8waj7GbHMFG_bwGUMxim5-I_YEjztXabKc0UVJoZZLtTlrfwtjxYtrEGrOcJiklAEMUcLyHYXZhCTuRyI8UZo176bu-CCbHwvsyjZzJml-9ZKQsfEt4Ksz8g9paMaHM9ky8W3ydkWu9mmrSncSF4w-AORI7KSEJKamS7BgcLzS-lLlRA/s4032/IMG_4091star.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="666" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiyhr00rg7jaE8waj7GbHMFG_bwGUMxim5-I_YEjztXabKc0UVJoZZLtTlrfwtjxYtrEGrOcJiklAEMUcLyHYXZhCTuRyI8UZo176bu-CCbHwvsyjZzJml-9ZKQsfEt4Ksz8g9paMaHM9ky8W3ydkWu9mmrSncSF4w-AORI7KSEJKamS7BgcLzS-lLlRA/w500-h666/IMG_4091star.jpeg" width="500" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>I used the biggest star from the nesting star set and cut out a star as my card front.

The circle birthday sentiment is from Kort og Godt and is backed on some scalloped circles for added interest. On the blue cards, the sentiment is heat embossed in silver, and for the other pattern paper I used gold embossing powder from Simon Says Stamp. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgIWqlK54LP9YO5thVKrazR23PI92dY9-aMGIiRjhVxQJ762se9e-PW-ZuVb0vNZ1bYETgiz5TT_c6OJihk8A-uoOeyTlpo4GOI6Mjzq0hDktVAeFWknEtmLhdCwzR-ATT4KrT2_S22xD5kjZYmAVIiqUex0S4K6t05-V3AB0tHlWKvAaryqx_UYJ53ioQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="269" data-original-width="240" height="540" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgIWqlK54LP9YO5thVKrazR23PI92dY9-aMGIiRjhVxQJ762se9e-PW-ZuVb0vNZ1bYETgiz5TT_c6OJihk8A-uoOeyTlpo4GOI6Mjzq0hDktVAeFWknEtmLhdCwzR-ATT4KrT2_S22xD5kjZYmAVIiqUex0S4K6t05-V3AB0tHlWKvAaryqx_UYJ53ioQ=w482-h540" width="482" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I`m entering this to:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://craftycatzweeklychallenge.blogspot.com/2024/01/crafty-catz-challenge-663-anything-goes.html">Crafty Catz: Crafty Catz Challenge #663 - Anything Goes plus optional twist (craftycatzweeklychallenge.blogspot.com)</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://classicdesignchallenge.blogspot.com/2024/01/classic-design-challenge-01-2024-janfeb.html">Classic Design Challenge Blog : Classic Design Challenge #01-2024 Jan/Feb - Anything Goes with Optional Twist: Blue and White</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://colorfuloptions.blogspot.com/2024/01/january-2024.html">Colorful Options: January 2024</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thank you for stopping by, I hope you got inspired to create yourself a happy day crafting too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hugs,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-Christine 💮</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>Christine Nandruphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14761922219628519574noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862703531287596044.post-16144442211763089482023-12-18T11:57:00.007+01:002024-01-17T20:27:48.646+01:00Family and friends Christmas card with photo<p> <span style="font-family: verdana;">Hi,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">This weekend I handed out and mailed this years last Christmas card batch to our family and friends. Usually I order our family Christmas cards from a photo-store since I like them to have pictures of the kids, the dog and/or all of us together showing a moment from this last year. But for this year I knew I wanted them to be handmade, and to have a picture of my youngest son. So when we got to take a trip up further north in Norway to Meråker I packed his knitted winter outfit and took picktures with the beautiful mountain natur in the back. You also get a glimpse of the fence called "skigard" which has a long tradition in Norway.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Since I wanted the photo to be the main star of the card, and also to match the natural feel of the photo I kept my design simple and the colors natural adding some glitter paper to dress it up for that Christmas feeling. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I just love how these turned out 🎄💖</span></p><p><span style="text-align: center;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzhatVoEQZdmKDAcxPHcUA5Mhxb_rP1SxzDGdZlY0Pf8jVhQDLqxRt9RuUT1I9MFKtv2sGZph6amJSCnYIiuBAlsvZYCchr8yKotcP_I8WqM04paCfMNTd4da9c15wGp9zHa3DPK6dEh6NV9hUou5nVgIkyMP1gyVwgRxKGhv_7MFxti2TT6E1yzGBdwg/s4032/IMG_3788%20(4)jul2023.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="681" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzhatVoEQZdmKDAcxPHcUA5Mhxb_rP1SxzDGdZlY0Pf8jVhQDLqxRt9RuUT1I9MFKtv2sGZph6amJSCnYIiuBAlsvZYCchr8yKotcP_I8WqM04paCfMNTd4da9c15wGp9zHa3DPK6dEh6NV9hUou5nVgIkyMP1gyVwgRxKGhv_7MFxti2TT6E1yzGBdwg/w511-h681/IMG_3788%20(4)jul2023.jpeg" width="511" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I started off with a kraft card base and matching envelope set.

I offset my two background oval pieces to frame my photo and adding some bling and depth to my card.

To darken the edges and draw the eye to the center of the card, I used Distress ink in Faded Jeans and then Black soot being careful not to go in as far as I did with the dark blue ink. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHOvbyaWjM8BYSlXAE7DQfKKSTLuT2bkaS34PrXMe_QECFd9jciSLB0vd3XCZuE2hjfxDUKQ8Z2rU4xd0VvJsESG3pB7gQeaQTapPs9hzwj_vH05FxKy5QCgT307F-I7gxLvboFWgmdoH5lVwIXKe-NoxtVDDQkA696k1zP1o1DypunpefsMm2vro1TIA/s3702/IMG_3243dreamcatcher.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3702" data-original-width="2816" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHOvbyaWjM8BYSlXAE7DQfKKSTLuT2bkaS34PrXMe_QECFd9jciSLB0vd3XCZuE2hjfxDUKQ8Z2rU4xd0VvJsESG3pB7gQeaQTapPs9hzwj_vH05FxKy5QCgT307F-I7gxLvboFWgmdoH5lVwIXKe-NoxtVDDQkA696k1zP1o1DypunpefsMm2vro1TIA/w486-h640/IMG_3243dreamcatcher.jpeg" width="486" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />The dream catcher die and the feathers from Marianne design is cut out of smooth white cardstock, the same as my card base. I added some white feathers together with the die cuts and I love how it looks. The sentiment is embossed with silver embossing powder to pick up the little silver touch from the silver pearl treaded into my bow. I also added some white flat back pearls at the end of the sentiment banner and in a couple of stars on the background. The beautiful blue sprinkles with glitter are from Doodlebug.<br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNe_Und4zJbFnNxHNxN8av606IOFXylaxi5GdfxO0ARSOktA8BlOgcvtd4UF9Fo_GVSsG4qTqIJI-zm8cwqazOfHzvTfTKKG-v62817mMeekTfFM0JZ8I9CraRdEd9lMQJYG6s02IxwJww-iA4D_yHmUa5pUFDvi7gj-y3OY7BqFSd6NgFST8M1NmV0UI/s3357/IMG_3237dreamcatcher.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3357" data-original-width="3024" height="542" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNe_Und4zJbFnNxHNxN8av606IOFXylaxi5GdfxO0ARSOktA8BlOgcvtd4UF9Fo_GVSsG4qTqIJI-zm8cwqazOfHzvTfTKKG-v62817mMeekTfFM0JZ8I9CraRdEd9lMQJYG6s02IxwJww-iA4D_yHmUa5pUFDvi7gj-y3OY7BqFSd6NgFST8M1NmV0UI/w487-h542/IMG_3237dreamcatcher.jpeg" width="487" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">And here is another look at the card. </span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghEjJdxrT-eL3Wbo3xGl-d4G32fnS7Xyi2YnQN4b0YMAhIgZaFtCCm49S9vQyc6ZgUQ7dIiJb-S2R8iTROigQd8grZ-kQLAw3AnRJOjCC9N0NppmTYrVHvuuqJscD_bIpIMx3l8BMebYyPvjRanwTEwH-Ju3MsuxrqIgnb80RSMqA8paTTIueu-nhZ4jI/s4032/IMG_3242dreamcatcher.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="653" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghEjJdxrT-eL3Wbo3xGl-d4G32fnS7Xyi2YnQN4b0YMAhIgZaFtCCm49S9vQyc6ZgUQ7dIiJb-S2R8iTROigQd8grZ-kQLAw3AnRJOjCC9N0NppmTYrVHvuuqJscD_bIpIMx3l8BMebYyPvjRanwTEwH-Ju3MsuxrqIgnb80RSMqA8paTTIueu-nhZ4jI/w490-h653/IMG_3242dreamcatcher.jpeg" width="490" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I like to enter this to:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-thinking-of-you-8/">Simon Says: Thinking Of You | (simonsaysstampblog.com)</a> 2.nd entry</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://themaleroomchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2023/11/challenge-180-feathers.html">The Male Room: Challenge 180 - Feathers (themaleroomchallengeblog.blogspot.com)</a> 2.nd entry</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://themaleroomchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2023/11/challenge-180-feathers.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2200" data-original-width="2200" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEirAMNsGdc_nTXKi_hdapN9ibYDi_nbashOn7LwtGPrUhtEI3T91VHk2cJbohJ4nq7bCrxZ54lJfEFvgsRxtFIyF3rqDkEw0hwiEEOWixAZ7hclzaGnpXkZ-TVSLNoo9pqZYoZccA_josjzK9OUuounHwaOHkA0gyyoHMY6_PeyUhwV0nBOwAnkOg5ItZA" width="240" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><p>WOHOO I WAS THE LUCKY WINNER <a href="https://themaleroomchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2023/12/winners-180-feathers.html#comment-form">The Male Room: Winners #180 - Feathers (themaleroomchallengeblog.blogspot.com)</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://craftycatzweeklychallenge.blogspot.com/2023/11/crafty-catz-658-make-it-sparkle.html">Crafty Catz: Crafty Catz #658 -Make it Sparkle (craftycatzweeklychallenge.blogspot.com)</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this dream catcher card inspired you to get crafty and create yourself a happy day crafting too.

I made a dream catcher card using an older die from Marianne design. I colored a panel using Dylusions orange and yellow paint applying it with a baby whipe.

This time the stamping was too light and since I don`t have a stamping platform I decided to just write over with a pen. I really, really want to invest in a stampingplatform, however, when I`m ordering there is always so much fun stuff I really, really want so I`ll have to wait for that one and just embrace the imperfections in the meantime. I darkened my edges with Distress ink in black soot, and I also went around my dream catcher with this to make it stand out more from the background. </span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDY70nqh1M2DBeSSn1iZ5zEQqmLlSuUPxdayzVF-EtGeI0lvEXviwwBEhf497XMtlnUJ9xIaqRTK27ONiZ47t4mOZBfTCWqtU0ZdpSHZ4EgYahL2lLGi7wTh1Yg3JRKE847Gm8mEROg3l61fCa-wMOiBuRFYMm4FNWL65CK1yYQIXa02z1LYcnEq7oc50/s3780/10BF2447-82F7-43FD-B785-CCB716BEA3F9.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3780" data-original-width="3024" height="619" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDY70nqh1M2DBeSSn1iZ5zEQqmLlSuUPxdayzVF-EtGeI0lvEXviwwBEhf497XMtlnUJ9xIaqRTK27ONiZ47t4mOZBfTCWqtU0ZdpSHZ4EgYahL2lLGi7wTh1Yg3JRKE847Gm8mEROg3l61fCa-wMOiBuRFYMm4FNWL65CK1yYQIXa02z1LYcnEq7oc50/w495-h619/10BF2447-82F7-43FD-B785-CCB716BEA3F9.jpeg" width="495" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I added some string and pearls to my dream catcher and also used some old Prima bling from my stash.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I like to enter this to:</span></p><p><a href="https://themaleroomchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2023/11/challenge-180-feathers.html"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Male Room: Challenge 180 - Feathers (themaleroomchallengeblog.blogspot.com)</span></a></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://themaleroomchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2023/11/challenge-180-feathers.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2200" data-original-width="2200" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhmZBUJApfvrzAPFxOj8j-ANVKO7JIqwISh4ZWHN8i2YYG1a1HsYX5mZgfpjuA_453R_nKv4bQXAiNYuyXWKTb9klulR7wMySz1b0pRA66SmS7xBT5_2is0uxB51I-uYtTxr2H1cMJJavdebXPBK7KQMM8JjeAMdE8uYX0Pxac3xAHMCnkXQYCsVoEISWc" width="240" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p><a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-thinking-of-you-8/"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Simon Says: Thinking Of You | (simonsaysstampblog.com)</span></a></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I really like how this turned out in the end, and I hope you got inspired to create yourself a happy day crafting too.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hugs,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">-Christine💮</span></p></div>Christine Nandruphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14761922219628519574noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862703531287596044.post-12853596453635083422023-11-01T14:15:00.007+01:002024-01-31T11:13:09.265+01:00Make a beautiful card gift set and a matching birthday shaker card <p> Hi,</p><p>Today I can finally show you this beautiful card set you can easily recreate with your pattern paper and make your own card gift set. I`m planning to make some Christmas card gift set as well. Perfect as a pre Christmas gift or as a host gift so they have cards to send out this season. But lets get back to this all year around card gift set. </p><p>Since I made this to go along with a birthday gift I made a matching shaker birthday card.</p><p>I`ve had this sweet paper pack in my stash forever and this was the perfect opportunity to cut into them. I love the colors and the design, perfect for these types of cards. I used a circle die and popped up the panel on foam tape. I glued down some purple pearls since I know the recipiant likes this color, and I also glued down a few of the sparkly shaker elements so there still is some interest when you hold the card upright.

I don`t know what this image is called or where you can find it in the store, but I left a link to the page where the stamp is displayed so you can take a look if you want to.

This helps frame the image. Next I used Bold prints background stamp from Hero Arts to stamp randomly with black Archival ink. I stamped some small start in Hero arts white pigment ink, that was new to me and didn`t show up as much as I hoped, but it still adds interest to my background. I decided to add more stars with modeling paste and Stars Starry Nights stencil from Memory box. This stencil would give a very starry night on a background with a permenent medium like acrylic paint, but since I knew the modeling paste would pick up some color from the blue ink I knew my background wouldn`t turn out too busy. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvNZ05EhuZGbbDdU5LHs8sUDtWHgOGlxv78EkBEHpwjKL_jnHA67jtYvjh-hp3ofb1JPQF0K4w8TE1woTiaie8wRwoW8LPE2XR0Ep4-E2P1G8YDrlSNuRdZsIoNk8folc7cdhpDbkgIKspaItY5knsszERLT5H_CuJU3EtNsvlEr-JJHndIaw0lDDJieU/s4032/IMG_2862explore.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="607" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvNZ05EhuZGbbDdU5LHs8sUDtWHgOGlxv78EkBEHpwjKL_jnHA67jtYvjh-hp3ofb1JPQF0K4w8TE1woTiaie8wRwoW8LPE2XR0Ep4-E2P1G8YDrlSNuRdZsIoNk8folc7cdhpDbkgIKspaItY5knsszERLT5H_CuJU3EtNsvlEr-JJHndIaw0lDDJieU/w455-h607/IMG_2862explore.jpeg" width="455" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I used Ranger multimedia matt to glue down my images and also carefully brushed over my entire page with a dry brush sealing everything.

He is 6 years old and I really love and enjoy these moments spending time together like this.</p><p>He wanted to join in the challenge with his tag so the first project I`m showing today is actually Nick`s. </p><p>All by himself he applied Lindys flat magicals from the Words of wisdom set. These are so amazing! Next, he picked out the stamp he wanted to use, applied Versamark ink and stamped the floral from Tim Holtz on the tag. Since he made the tag for me- knowing red is my favourite color he the applied red embossing powder all over. I helped him heat up the embossing powder and put the ribbon on. I totally love how this turned out. More interesting then my own tags I must say. hehee. I would never have thought of using red embossing powder ower the colors on the tag- but it worked out perfectly. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVT1JGh373F4SNEDVnW1Qtsu8TqYGIBQyxsY34t1h0TNvKTwMVwJPkbOebogzlTBEK6IhJs2N352tiEqDuFu3SHc7DZJv9YNNUEzRLFK0GPl7Y5ibHhumauikamCVzQcCo0g-40PXdoq_1kuJDKxv0sdtgzoT-DH_diohprBsVTPxAV5NU3gyvX_lZGqg/s4032/IMG_2520Nick.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="655" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVT1JGh373F4SNEDVnW1Qtsu8TqYGIBQyxsY34t1h0TNvKTwMVwJPkbOebogzlTBEK6IhJs2N352tiEqDuFu3SHc7DZJv9YNNUEzRLFK0GPl7Y5ibHhumauikamCVzQcCo0g-40PXdoq_1kuJDKxv0sdtgzoT-DH_diohprBsVTPxAV5NU3gyvX_lZGqg/w491-h655/IMG_2520Nick.jpeg" width="491" /></a></div><br /><p>I was working on a mixed media layout using one of my favourit mother/son silhuette pictures I came across.

The beautiful stencil is from Prima Finnabair Art deco wall using Graphite sand. It has that lovely sparkle to it.

I totally love how it turned out and it`s definitely among my top favorites. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">This time I have been playing in my new A5 stone paper journal from Vicky Papaioannou`s Create Happiness collection from Stamperia and this is the first time I came across stonepaper. I was very facinated with the properties of this paper. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I used the gorgeous collection Sir Vagabon in Japan also from Stamperia and this layout actually goes over 3 pages. I love that this beautiful girl sits by the window and looking through you can see the samurai from the next page. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">For my backgrounds</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">I used distress oxide sprays in Lost shadow and Stormy sky and then I very light handed went over with some Tumbled glass. I also added some splatters with white, black and gold paint. This is my first time trying my oxide sprays, or any distress oxide product, and I do understand the love for these products. The stone paper was also very impressive to work on. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">It does not tear but you can easily cut it.

They celebrate their birthday together so I made all cards simular just playing around with colors and the pattern papers on each card. It was so quick and easy to do and I had great fun creating them. I decided to go with the size of a small slimline card and the stripes from my 6*6 inch paper pad covered the card base easily even when they where glued on diagonal. I don`t have many typical younger boys pattern paper, but I found this old Authentique Suave collection that I`m really happy with.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEPi40LtVBlFmVBN4dSTSoSiSVBWS7BbUnJpP98JJKgWWlOozWKflTtktHgqNrfigkvyiynIVitFk2nH3SD2JRPIHHkIqY9DAqS2JZa9lH5V1bKM_fQvWQUdPS17wPy-owSGb0YoqajbWBrma9oao7UfzNtwDXOa2vbtw1IIjbRLJl5BtMVrlNK2VHavI/s4032/IMG-2256.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="417" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEPi40LtVBlFmVBN4dSTSoSiSVBWS7BbUnJpP98JJKgWWlOozWKflTtktHgqNrfigkvyiynIVitFk2nH3SD2JRPIHHkIqY9DAqS2JZa9lH5V1bKM_fQvWQUdPS17wPy-owSGb0YoqajbWBrma9oao7UfzNtwDXOa2vbtw1IIjbRLJl5BtMVrlNK2VHavI/w556-h417/IMG-2256.jpg" width="556" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><p>I stamped and diecut my sentiments backing them on differets shapes of matching cardstock.

I love how the beautiful Summer Breeze collection from Ciao Bella goes perfectly to our warm and sunny beach holiday. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">This post ended up to be a bit photo heavy, lets take a look.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBWPsQNKPQNINPSuCPKfKWew5ynHqOQzHmQ5unHdt13eFAKzwhvnK_JndI3VCrNUsb8iJ2EFKq-Y7IxnvmGTSebfGaFlLmzJMiWYjiX6v21zHpaEoo0lqc3D38xTmIBXrLcCRxfY12GvJ_xh0Qg8NNTUKomwIfmGjgDkLeXL0BKUXwzIJSvv6F7_uwNdk/s4032/IMG_2171summer.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="632" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBWPsQNKPQNINPSuCPKfKWew5ynHqOQzHmQ5unHdt13eFAKzwhvnK_JndI3VCrNUsb8iJ2EFKq-Y7IxnvmGTSebfGaFlLmzJMiWYjiX6v21zHpaEoo0lqc3D38xTmIBXrLcCRxfY12GvJ_xh0Qg8NNTUKomwIfmGjgDkLeXL0BKUXwzIJSvv6F7_uwNdk/w474-h632/IMG_2171summer.jpeg" width="474" /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This folio mini album was put together following<a href="https://maymaymadeit.info/2023/05/wonder-folio-this-will-be-your-new-favorite-part-1/" target="_blank"> Maymay made it Wonder-folio</a>. This type of folio was just the type I was planning to make as it fits mostly full sized photos and as such is very photo friendly. There are so many stunning mini albums out there with lots of smaller fancy fun folds and they display the pattern paper so beautiful, but personally I think this style of minialbum or folio album fits better if you want to use them with your photos. So this is the style I wantet this time.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I kept the cover of my folio clean just fuzzy cutting HOME so it can be stored easily, but I think this paper is so pretty even by itself.
