Dies or Punches at Crafts & Me Challenges

Hello and good morning everyone. At Crafts & Me Challenges we have a new challenge for you. This time we want to see

DIES OR PUNCHES

For the card I made I used one of the new images from Hannah Lynn, soon to be released at Crafts & Me. This image is called 'Cherish' and I love it so much. It is also a pleasure to play with and to ink.

I coloured her with Copics and the papers are from BoBunny.

Thank you so much for looking. Wish you a wonderful day now!

Whiff of Joy Monthly Project - Charmed

Hello and good morning everyone. It is time for the monthly project at Whiff of Joy we are showing you each last Saturday of a month. This month we have the theme 'Charmed'. Over at the Whiff of Joy World of Ideas Blog all of the team are showing you 'charmed' projects. Just take a look there to get a big dose of charmed inspirations. Whiff of Joy haves gorgeous Boxes of Charms. They fit for every occasion.

Below you can see what I made using one of the newest image from the 'All for the Girls' collection 'The key 2 being loved'. And I also used some of the gorgeous Whiff of Joy Die-Lights; Lovely Doily; Vintage Key Trio, Endless Hearts Border Die and Tickets. The matching sentiment is from Whiff of Joy too.

Here below I have two close ups for you... I coloured the image with Copics.

Don't look those gorgeous keys just so great in a row with a small metal charm? Btw, the doily is die cutted from a VERY old wall paper. The papers I used is from BoBunny.

For my card I used the sketch from the new challenge at CLP Challenges and want to join there of course.

Wish you a wonderful weekend now!
Hugs, Karina

Hello everyone, my dear friends and Sweet Pea Stamps lovers, today I want to show you a card I recently created with one of the newest Elizabeth Bell sweeties available at Sweet Pea Stamps. I just love those cute mermaids. This one I played with is 'Starr'.

I coloured her with Copics, and the papers I used are from BoBunny.

Just take a look at the other new Elisabeth Bell images available at Sweet Pea Stamps. They are all so sweet and I am sure you will love them all, just as I do.

With this card I want to join the challenge at Elisabeth Bell's World where they want to see 'a Vintage Valentine'.

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Karina

Pale Rose

Hello everyone, today I am showing you a different card as I usually make. I created a more CAS card with this gorgeous image 'Pale Rose' by Jasmine Becket-Griffith. And I wanted to use my new dies from MFT stamps; hexagon and flags. So I didn't want to cover too much. I am wondering what you think about it.

And here is a close up of the image...

Thank you so much for looking! Have a wonderful day now!

Variations Week at Sweet Pea Stamps

Hello everyone, this week we have Variations Week again at Sweet Pea Stamps. All of the team made a creation with the same image what we'll show you this week. It is so fascinating to see so much difference between each project although using just the same image. Really amazing. If you like to see just hop to the Sweet Pea Stamps blog. Today I show you my view of the gorgeous image 'Irish Chic' by the great artist Joanne Schempp. She is available as rubber stamp and digi as well. And currently on SALE as a rubber stamp.

I coloured her with Copics. And the papers I used for the background are from Maja Design. 

Have a wonderful day now!

Doily Heaven at Crafts & Me Challenges

Hello again, I have another card to share with you today, as at Crafts & Me Challenges we started a new challenge as well. There we have the theme

DOILY HEAVEN

So just use a doily somewhere on your project. For my card I tried something new. I wanted to make a card with a just stamped image, so no colouring. Sometimes this may be helpful when there is not so much time to make a card. And I think it looks beautiful as well, just quite different. I am curious what you think about...

For my card I used the gorgeous image 'Daisy' from Sara Burrier, available HERE at Crafts & Me. I also used a die cutted doily just new released at Whiff of Joy available HERE.

Wish you a wonderful day now!
Hugs, Karina

Looking very much forward. But first I want to show you my newest creation I made with one of the gorgeous stamps available at Crafts & Me. I played with this cutie called 'In my Window'. She is designed by Jasmine Becket-Griffith.

I was in the mood for a monochrome colouring and chose grey tones I made with Copics. I wanted to combine it with pink and purple colours as decoration to give it an elegant touch. The papers I used are from BoBunny and the sentiment and matching die is from Whimsy.

Have a wonderful day now! Thank you so much for your visit and your always so much apprechiated comments.
