12 Tags of 2018 with Prima Dolls

Already since a while I have a project in mind; to make one Prima Doll Tag for each month of 2018. I know I am behind, but just started now to make the July tag. I decided to do it in sealife theme. I love how it turned out and am inspired to create the other months very soon.

Below you can see a close up of the tag. I colored some shadows with Copics.

Thank you for your visit and bye for now.

Mermaid themed Flip Tags

Hello everyone, it has been a while since my last post... where has the time gone. It really weren't intend to have such a long break in making new posts. It's not that I weren't creative in the meanwhile. No, in fact I have quite some projects to share with you. So keep on coming here to visit me and seeing my latest makes.

A while a go I discovered Flip Tags and fell in love with them immediately. I just made one this week, mermaid themed, for a private swap. Look how it turned out. I am quite happy with the result...

Whole project...

below I show you each single tag, front and back. On few of them I added some goodies on the backside.

As mentioned I have some more projects to share with you. I want to make at least one post a week - promised :-)

So bye for now and thank you for visiting me.
Hugs, Karina

Happy Easter Monday

Hello my dear crafty friends out there, 

today is the last day of my Easter Countdown and I hope you enjoyed to see my inspirations so far. What a pity those days are gone again... too fast as always when you have a good time. Well, today I am showing you an Easter card in shape of a chicken, made in my fave colors turquois and grey. The template is from Dutch Doobadoo. I love how it turned out. So sweet, don't you think so? I made a little change of the template as it would be for making a basket. But I just wanted to make a card.

Now I wish you a happy day and hope you'll come back soon. I'll show you newly made projects very soon.

Bye for now! Hugs,

Karina

HAPPY EASTER - 1 day until Easter Monday ;-)

HAPPY EASTER

to all my friends out there! Have a wonderful day with your families and may Easter Bunny bring you lots of colorful Easter eggs and sweet chocolat eggs and bunnies.

Today I show you another Easter themed project I recently made; another Pocket Letter using the super cute stamps from Lawn Fawn:

Tomorrow I will show you one last Easter themed project and I hope you will come back to see what I have for you.

Have a happy day!

Hugs, Karina

2 days until Easter

Hello and welcome back dear crafty friends,

I just noticed that I made a mistake in the countdown... sigh! Today I say 2 days until Easter. But in fact it's only 1 day as tomorrow is Easter... hmmm... so I will continue my countdown until Easter Monday, it's Easter too :-) 

Today I show you an Easter themed Pocket Letter I made for a friend from South Korea. She already received it few days ago. I used Tilda papers for my project. I so love them. They are great for any romantic craft projects.

Have a happy day with lots of sunshine in your heart on this rainy and grey day.

Hugs, Karina

3 days until Easter

Hello my dear crafty friends,

as promised I am back with more Easter inspirations I just created the last few days. Today I show you a serie of ATC with the theme Easter. I again used the cute stamp set from Lawn Fawn.

Now I wish you a happy day. It's Good Friday today. In the morning it looked more autumnal here with quite some frog. But now sun showed up and it looks much more friendly.

Bye for now and hugs,

Karina

4 days until Easter

Hello dear fellow crafter and friends,

great to see you here again today <3 As promised I am showing you today another Easter themed project I recently made. I made my cards with one of the beautiful Whiff of Joy stamp sets. The coloring is made with Distress Inks and Markers.

I arranged the images a bit different - look at the egg shells. I also used different cardstock as background. Which one do you like most?

Here are the cards with yellow cardstock...

And the ones below are made with green cardstock...

Have a happy day now. And come back tomorrow to see my next Easter project.

Hugs, Karina

5 days until Easter

Hello dear crafty friends, 

very soon we have Easter. I love those holidays, not only because we already have Spring at Easter, but also having some extra days off is always great. And also I love to create Easter themed projects. So I decided to make a little countdown to Easter, with showing some of my Easter projects daily until Easter.

Let's start with some Easter cards I made, using the cute stamps from Lawn Fawn. I must say that I get into that style more and more. Really love those characters and they are so fun to play with. 

Here we go with five different cards I made...

Aren't they just too cute? I say bye for today and hope to see you coming back tomorrow to see what I made for day 4.

Hugs, Karina

New ATC series

 Hello everyone, too long no post... sigh! I'm really always surprised how fast the time flies, uh oh. It's definitely time to show you what I have made lately.

Stempunk 1

Four Seasons 1

Vintage Fashion 1

 

Gorjuss 1

Very few of them still are available. So if you like to do a swap feel free to drop me a line.

Now I wish you a happy weekend. And I promise that it'll not takes that long again until my next post. 

Creative Blessings,

Karina

Welcome 2018 - and new Challenge at Deep Ocean Challenges

Hello my dear crafty friends... I just realized it's over a month ago since I've posted here last time... were has the time gone... Since years it is also the first time I am not part of any Design Teams, (besides of my own challenge blog; Deep Ocean Challenges). 

Now I have not any set dates to post any projects. The more I have to take card that my blog will not become an orphan... this I really don't want to happen. Not being in any Design Teams doesn't mean I am not creative anymore. But from now an I will show also different projects, I also want to show my Pocket Letters, my ATC's, my Flipbooks and more. Somehow they were missed here. It's definitely time to change this. 

For a start I want to show you my first Valentines ATC's series. They both fit the theme we have at Deep Ocean Challenges - Love is all Around. If you have any Valentine themed projects, why not joining us? Here are the ones I made:

Now I wish you a happy day... come back soon, I still have some finished projects not showed yet I will post very soon. I also plan my own 12 tags of 2018 project with Prima Julie Nutting Dolls. So you can be curious. I'm sure you still will like what you will see here :-) 

Hugs, Karina

Christmas Sweetheart for Noor! Design UK

Hello and good morning dear crafty friends... countdown to Christmas... are you ready for? I am, almost... but must confess I never made a big thing out of it. I am happy when I can create crafty Christmas projects to send to friends to make them happy. That is... no Christmas tree (we cannot have one in our home because of our naughty cat, but have one on our terrace lighted up), no cookies baking, no guests. We go out for having dinner already since years. Well, you know, I have a quite busy working life, so want to keep stress out of my life during that peaceful and quiet time. 

Today I show you another Christmas card I made with this supercute Penguin from Whimsy Stamps. I put him into the gorgeous flower frame and surrounded with birch.

The coloring is made with Copics.

I made a white Poinsettia with Foamiran and natural berries in the center.

With this card I want to join following challenges:

Cards und More - Anything Goes with a Penguin
Whimsy Stamps - Anything Goes

Now I thank you for your visit here. Always much appreciated. Bye for now and have a great week!

Red Robin for Noor! Design UK

Hello and good morning everyone, I hope you're doing fine and had a happy 1st advent. I had and am lucky to have a week off now for getting ready with all my Christmas preparations. Today I have another Christmas card to show you. Have you known that I love birds? I'm amazed to see them and to hear their songs. They are so beautiful. And so I am also in love with that paper with a sweet little Robin. Of course I had to highlight that cutie with a gorgeous Scrapiniec frame.

Look that cutie, surrounded with this gorgeous Scrapiniec oval frame.

and a lacey heart in the corner...

a poinsettia made with Foamiran is a perfect addition to my card...

Thank you very much for your visit. Have a happy day now.
