Holding your Heart

Hi my dear friends and visitors. Today I have something else to show you. You know, I mostly join the TOMIC challenge, and so I want this week as well. They want to see an oval card with embossing this time. I decided to make a small card and although this is something out of my comfort zone I quite like the result. Isn't this Maggie just the cutest?

Here's a close up of the image..

Beside of TOMIC I want to join following other challenges;

Simply Magnolia - Hearts and Love
Totally Tilda - Pink and Red and Valentines
Magnolia-licious - Foto Inspiration
Magnolia-licioushighlites - anything goes
Cupcake Craft - all you need is love

Have a wonderful start into the new week!
Hugs, Karina

Sabine watching the snow fall

Hi dear fellow crafters. Hope you're doing fine. I'm a bit better in the meanwhile, after six days knocked off!!! I managed to make a card again today... yay! The one I made I will show you on Sunday. Thank you so much for your get well wishes! I cannot remember when I was of so low energy because of a flu like this time... not nice, really not nice. But bit by bit I belong to the living ones again...

But today I want to show you a wintery card I made some days ago, with this cutie stamp from Stampavie by Sarah Kay 'Sabine watching the snow fall'. Isn't she so sweet standing behind a window watching outside. 

I coloured her with Copics and framed it with Nellie's Choice Frame die multi rectangle. I added a sentiment by Whimsy Stamps from the Winter Seals collection. The papers I used for the background are Basic Grey Out of Print 6x6. The border behind the image is die cutted with Magnolia Tilda Lace Die. As an extra accent I added some flowers, put  a beautiful paper doily behind the image and added some flat backed pearls.

The most of the items I used for this card are available at Bunny Zoe's Crafts.


With this card I want to join following challenge;

Scraphouse Challenge - Snow

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Karina

Red Riding Hood

Hi everyone, hope you're doing fine... better than me, as I am fighting with a bad flu since four days which doesn't allows me to do anything, not a tiny little colouring or glueing some papers togehter... nothing... I cannot remember feeling that aweful lately, just lying around, watching some TV and sleeping. Well, luckily I worked ahead with my cards and can show you a new one today nevertheless. At least I manage to post it, when I cannot do anything else. 

Well, the card I show you today I made with this gorgeous new image from Crafts and Me by the fabulous artist Zindy Nielsen called 'Red Riding Hood'. Well... mine is more Blue Riding Hood :o). I think this background paper by Prima is just perfect for her. The colouring is made with Distress Inks.

Have a wonderful day everyone!
Hugs, Karina

Family Portrait

Hi dear Sweet Pea Stamps lovers like I am. Today I want to show you a card I made with the gorgeous image Steampunk Doll by our fabulous artist Meredith Dillman. She is available together with another amazing image on Plate # 87

Here is a close up of the image, I coloured it with Copics. The papers I used are from my stash. I had it already quite some time unused. I thought it is the perfect one to this image. 

Don't miss our Valentine Sale going on right now! So many gorgeous stamps for a nice prize! Take a look at it, you don't want to miss it.

Hope you enjoyed your visit today. Have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Karina
