A summery card today, as we are having the first snow of the winter. I didn’t even think it was winter yet to be honest, but those white flurries covering the ground seems to be winning that argument…

I have coloured in one of Sylvia Zet’s Wee Stamps with copics; the sheep is so cute! I added a sentiment with a stamp from Lili of the Valley, various flowers and cream ribbon by Wild Orchid Crafts, made a bow using a Tim Holtz die, some butterflies and leaves using Martha Stewart punchers, some random feathers and buttons.

Curly kid on swing

I did indeed get a little time to craft this weekend and I have made three cards. I think I till put a film on this evening and pretend to watch it while I colour up some new digis I just bought! It’s good to try to get relax a bit sometimes.

It’s been a while since I added a card where I have coloured in the image myself. So here is one I have coloured with copics. It is an image by the talented Krista Smith of Saturated Canary. I have made a step card, with a blank from Whichcraft. The ribbon and lace (I absolutely love that lace!) are by Wild Orchid Crafts, and so are all the flowers. The punchers I have used are by Martha Stewart, the paper by Tim Holtz and the sentiment stamp is by Lili of the Valley.

The blue vase

Mid September already… Wasn’t it just Christmas? I can barely keep up anymore! I guess I should try to get cracking this weekend making some Christmas cards. That is, if I can find the time in between the 5 other cards I have to get done. Either way I am glad to spend some time making more cards. I haven’t had time to do anything the past month! I haven’t even had time to start on the colouring classes I purchased a month ago. Thankfully it looks like October will be a bit more predictable with a little less plans on the menu.

Anyway. Card! As you can see, this is another simple one. I have once again used a pre-coloured topper by Lili of the Valley. The ribbon is by Wild Orchid Crafts and the pearls I have had for a few years so I simply no longer remember!

Have a great weekend!

Flowers, flowers, flowers

Last weekend I went to Iceland and it was fantastic. It was a surprise hen do / bachelorette party for a friend of mine and she had no idea she was even going! No idea whatsoever. What a fun surprise! We went whale spotting (with a bonus of dolphins), rafting and after a night out we had some relaxing hours in the Blue Lagoon before heading back home. A busy, but highly enjoyable weekend!

Anyway, time for another card. I will spend a couple of hours tomorrow as well making more cards. This one is made with a pre-coloured image by Lili of the Valley. I have used ribbon from a local shop, a blank card template by Craftwork Cards, papers by Pion Design, a couple of Martha Stewart punchers, pearls by The Hobby House and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Country cupcake

Almost weekend. I am actually looking forward to tomorrow. Some ladies at work have decided to do a hobby day. It will be interesting to see what they all make, and have some time to sit and craft. I have never been to anything like this, so I am all curious about it!

A colourful image sometimes deserves a colourful card. I had this cupcake themed paper in one of my Papermania pads and the colour matched the image perfectly. I decided to frame it with the pinky-red colour of the image and used a similar colour to frame the image. What I used was actually a cupcake wrapper, or whatever they are called. All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the punches by Martha Stewart, the card base from Craftwork Cards and the image from Lili of the Valley.
