Christmas Cards Part 1

Hello hello!

This year I decided to make my own Christmas cards. I'm not that much of a card maker, but when I know for who the card is, it's more fun. I've tried to keep them all simple so that they won't be to bulky or heavy in the envelopes.

Here's a card with a glitter heart of felt.

Here I cut out a stencil and stamped "Merry Christmas"/"God jul" in gold and red. 

On this one it's mostly washi tape and adhesive which I poured loose glitter on. 

Looks maybe as more work, but it's only ribbon  cut short and glued to the cardstock. Over it I've used paper from BoBunny's Snowfall.

Birthday card with BoBunny

Good evening!

It's ten in the evening here and I 'm starting to get tired. I have been creating Christmas cards almost all day (I even cleaned my room). The other day I saw this tree from my window and I thought it looked so gourgeos in the sunset I had to take a picture of it!

On Tuesday it's my bf's birthday (he already recieved four gifts) and I wanted to send him a card. I quickly put this together and wrote in both Swedish and German on the back. I hope it will arrive on his day! 

I've used a white cardstock and paper from BoBunny's collection Snowfall, and a little moose sticker. "Manly" colors, but still some glitter to see that it's my design. :)

"Cocoa Cuddles" w/ BoBunny Snowfall

Hello there!

I'm back after having my bf here visiting me from Austria. We've had wonderful days (even though I had to work a little); On the 2nd of November my friends had planned a surprice party for me (my birthday is in September, haha). That was a big surprice, but then they brought in my bf and I was soooo shocked. He wasn't coming for another two days! I am so happy that they organized all that for me and that almost everyone could be there.

Even better was that we were all dressed up (since it was the weekend of Halloween) so now I can finally scrap some Halloween-layouts of my own! :)

Since my bf comes from and lives in Austria, we can't see each other that often and I won't be able to visit him for his birthday I thought I'd give him a few gifts now. Here's the first one (that he begged for :P)

Title says "Cocoa Cuddles" and is cut with my Silhouette. I was totally inspired by Nicole Nowosad over at Jillibean Soup, when she made the chevron background. I've used several papers, back and front, from BoBunny's Snofall collection.

This piece of wood is distressed and then embossed with clear embossingpowder. I've tied three diffrent yarns along the layout.

A little bit of everything here and there.

I also used the leftover pieces as decorations/for quick journaling.

BoBunny card "grattis" (congratulations)

Hello hello hello!

I'm back with something to show you; a card created with BoBunny's Forever Fall collection (2012). It's a simple happy birthday card. (The pictures are a bit blurry due to the lack of light when photographed.)

I put the orange leaf paper on foam dots to give it some dimension. The result of that was that people thought they could open it :P I also put two foam dots under the bannerpiece edges to give that some dimension as well. 

My inspiration for this card came from a Swedish blog (the black card): Swe Scrapbook.

"The Sweet & Wonderful Life" & "Summer Trip" layouts

Hello!

Tonight I'm showing this:

First up is layout/mixed media art, but not the normal 12"x12" but smaller. I actually don't know the the size. Anyway, I've used black distressed ink from Tim Holtz and then embossed it with orange powder. The stamps are from different manufacturers. This came together with inspiration from Nicole Nowosad at the Jillibean Soup design team.

I've painted with water colors and used some leftover scraps for the arrows. I hand sewed around the whole page. This whole thing was just a playful test, but I'm quite happy with the result. 

Here's another mixed media-layout about a trip I made to France with my boyfriend, now ex-boyfriend. We saw sunflower fields all along the road. I used last years fall-collection from BoBunny, Forever Fall. But the background paper is from Basic Grey. 

I stamped a lot and sprayed with glimmer mists and a stencil from Prima with modeling paste. 

The journaling is hidden behind the blue paper, with some string and a brad I created something to pull it up with. The big sunflower is fussy cut and you can see the stamping and paint behind it.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

"Life Captured" & "10+1=elva"

Hello there!

I've got more layouts to share! The first one is created using a sketch from Silhouette. Instead of two stripes at the bottom I used another cut file from Silhouette, a wave. All the papers are My Mind's Eye; Miss Caroline and background paper is from the All is bright collection.

Quite a simple layout, but still cute. I've put some cut out hearts in the waves and painted the edges with pink acrylic paint.

The title says "Life Captured" and the photo is of my nieces last Christmas at Teneriffe, Spain. We went to a water park - which was so much fun.

On my second layout I tried to use mostly squares and create a grid. It's about my oldest niece who turned 11 this year. The title says "10+1=elva (eleven)".  The papers are from BoBunny's Vicki B. collection.

I still haven't written anything yet. I'm bad at that, especially when I don't really know what to write. 

For the title I've used four different types of Thickers. The big pink flower is created with pink washi tape and purple/pink ribbon and a big pearl from Prima.

The Beauty of Fall & Father's day cards - BoBunny

Hello there!

Today I'm showing two cards I made with last years fall collection from BoBunny. The first one is actually a birthday card for my niece who turns 9 in October. I kept it simple and stamped the inside with more sentiments and a "happy birthday".

Here's a close-up!

The second card is a fathers day card (in Sweden this day is in October). It could even work as a birthday card since my dad's birthday is in October as well. The title says: "The best farther, brother, grandpa".

The tiny words come from My Mind's Eye.

You are my sunshine - Silhouette phrase

Hello!

Really gonna try to show my creations a bit more often since I don't have an online gallery (yet). This layout is created with the BoBunny line Alora, just the "sunshine" is My Mind's Eye paper which also cut out using a phrase from a Silhouette cut file.

The picture is of my youngest niece on midsummers day a few years ago, here in Sweden.

I kept the layout simple with just a few decorations since the papers are quite busy. I also chalked the edges with the same pink as the papers.

Thanks for stopping by!

"Bonnie" layout w/ BoBunny

Unfortunately I can't remember which sketch I looked at while creating this, think it was Creative Scrappers, but not sure. Anyway, it's about my best friend who's pregnant and they (everyone) call the baby Bonnie (their names put together) until they know which sex the baby has.

Only BoBunny papers, fall collection (last year?) and my Silhouette got to work as I tried it for the first time with the Maroccan pattern and then used the left overs to create decorations (the flower at the top and the long stem under the picture).
