Little bunny

I’m back up on the Copic Marker Norge blog again today. As it’s been so many Christmas cards lately I thought I’d mix it up with a Christening card. I love using Lili of the Valley stamps for those types of cards, so that’s what I’ve done here, too!

As it was a December event, I’ve kept a winter theme in the papers I’ve used. It is mostly Maja Design papers, but it’s possible one of them is Papirdesign as well. I lost track a bit in the massive production of cards at the start of December, I admit. The cute little charm is a bit difficult to see in this photo, but it’s a little pram and it’s super adorable!

Oh, and a little tip. Lili of the Valley is having 60% off on their stamps until New Year. What a great deal, right?! I know I’m getting me some more stamps at least!

Merry Christmas to you all

Today, the 24th, is the day we celebrate Christmas here. It was my turn on the Copic Marker Norge calendar today, for the final day, and I felt it had to be something quite special. I’m really good at putting pressure on myself, haha. Soooo, I took 3 of Mo’s Digital Stamps images and merged them together for a really simple card. I coloured it all up in traditional colours and kept the card as simple as can be.

And with this card I’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Santa’s even been by this morning, and I got my white Christmas after all. Yey!

A wee winter fairy for Christmas

Today is my second day on the Copic Marker Norge blog this month for our advent calendar. You don’t need the most typical Christmas stamps to make Christmas cards. This, for example, gets most of its Christmas feel through the colours I’ve used on the papers. The cute stamp is by Wee Stamps / Whimsy Stamps and I’ve used various papers from Maja Design. I’ve used a text stamp by Norsk Stempelblad and ribbon bought at Panduro. The card shame is made with dies from Go Kreate and I’ve edged the pieces with white acrylic paint.

Here is a close-up photo of the colouring. I wanted to show you how the wings, ear muffs and snow looks. To get that effect I simply played around with various light coloured markers, but with a bit extra focus on blue, until I got it how I wanted.

Make It Crafty elf

Once again Copic Marker Norge is having an advent calendar and today is my day to show a card. I decided to take the opportunity to thank Zoe of Make It Crafty for her wonderful contribution to the crafting community. Her fab colouring, great shop with fab stamps and of course my favourite chipboard is worth mentioning now that she has decided to close the shop down at the end of this week. I will make sure I get some shopping done at the weekend, for sure, while I still can! Thank you, Zoe, for all the inspiration!

I’ve used this Make It Crafty stamp and chipboard together with some Maja Design paper, some new lace I found on Ebay a couple of months ago and finally got around to using, and ribbon from… I think it’s from the Hobby House, actually, and that I’ve had it forever.

Poinsettia and pomegranates

November. Wasn’t it just May? I really can’t keep up this year, but apparently it’s time release that Christmas is less than two months away. This month we’re having the theme Christmas for our Copic Marker Norge challenge. I’ve decided to colour up the Poinsettia and Pomegranates stamp from Power Poppy that I coloured up two years ago. I went with even richer and deeper reds this time and kept the card really quite simple.
