Polkadoodles summer winnie

Posted on by Liz

It has been cold here lately, but the sunshine that has come with really brightens everything. It does make me want summer, though, so I’ve made a summer themed card for today. The stamp is by Polkadoodles and is called Winnie Summer Day.

The card itself is simple, as usual, with a thicker frame, and then a doily, two die cuts where one is with the sentiment from the Everlasting Sentiments set, and a few sequins making up the embellishment. I’ve used some foam tape on both the coloured panel and the sentiment strip.

Below is another photo of the card where you can see the dimensions a bit better.

Copics used: E00, E02, E13, E15, E21, E23, E25, E27, E29, E41, E42, E43, E44, W0, W1, W3, W5, T0, T1, T3, BG11, BG13, BG15, BG18, BG78, R63, RV66, R11, R22, R32, R35, R39, G24, G28

Sommer vibes

Posted on by Liz

This month’s challenge over at Copic Marker Norge doesn’t last for just this month, but throughout summer. Our theme had to be something summery for it, didn’t it? And it is, summer vibes.

I decided to colour up a stamp by The Paper Shelter as they have a great selection of summery ones. I was a little unsure of how I wanted to colour up the background and contemplated both a park look as well as a cityscape, but on the day I coloured it up we had a bright blue cloudless sky all day, so that’s what I went for in the end.

To make the card I used MFT Stamps rectangle dies to cut the panel and put it on top of some Maja Design paper. A couple of butterflies made with Rayher dies in a matching colour, some enamel dots to match the handbag and an embossed sentiment by Mathia Design (Hobbykunst) were all the things I needed to complete my card.

Copics used: (sky) B0000, B00, B01, B02, B04, (grass) G21, G24, G28, (yellow) YR20, YR21, YR23, E35, (red) R22, R24, R29, R89, (skin) E00, E02, E13, E15, (hair) E08, E18, E49, E97

Mmmm Strawberries!

Posted on by Liz

Our theme this month, at Copic Marker Norge, is something edible. Initially I was going to use a stamp with donuts, but I got a Power Poppy gift certificate for my birthday a few days ago and I simply had to colour up this stamp! Don’t the strawberries look yummy?! I cannot wait for summer and being able to pick some in mum’s garden! Strawberries are delicious!

It is Friday and that means it’s time for another La-La Land Crafts inspirational post. The theme we had to work with this week was Tropical Paradise, and I’ve done my own twist on it using older dies and one of the first background stamps they released.

LLLC: Deck the Palms

Posted on by Liz

My third and final card for the most recent La-La Land Crafts release this time around. I’ve used the fun Australian kind of Santa for this one, and I’ve made a pocket for a tag, which could also be used for a gift card. Both the tag and pockets are really great and I will be using those a fair bit, for sure! It’s also fun to make a completely different type of Christmas card, quite far away from the winter themed ones I usually make!

In this second photo I’ve taken out the tag and put it next to the card so you can see it clearly. The pocket could be used for a gift certificate as well, if you prefer.
