Spring Hidden Double Pocket Tag

I'll try to come back to crafting and blogspot after many weeks without any inspiration.

 This hidden double pocket tag was created for a spring journal,

which I made some months ago.

All papers and the yellow butterfly are from Happiness in Crafting.

Here are some pictures from my Easter folder,
made with papers from Gi Kerr (Happiness in Crafting).
The dies are:

For the label on the tag I used WeR Memory Keepers "Nesting Card".

Birthday Card

Some weeks ago Beccy asked me on my blog
if I would be taking part in a Christmas marked this year.
I did not answer, because I did not know.
Earlier years I loved to take part on such markets,
but with the different diseases I've got the last years,
is it rather difficult to stay outside for hours in cold winter weather.
So I thought I had to think about it.

But this Sunday I got an invitation to take part in a spring marked!
And I said YES!
So now I have to hurry up, getting new cards, journals and knitted stuff ready.
I'm full of inspiration and happiness.
Here we go! 😊

My first card for this marked has got an image and sentiment from Beccy.
Embossing folder: Lifestyle.
Dies: Spellbinders "Oval", Elizabeth "Curvy Leaves",
WeR Memory Keepers "Nesting Card".
Flower punch: EK Success, Corner punch unknown.
Stickles on the flowers, Stabilo marker for the faux stitching.

Just For You

As I chose the embossing folder for this card,
I thought of brown, crackled early spring soil,
where the first flowers are coming through the surface on sunny days.
Well, here in Europe we don't have just these flowers ....... 😏

Image and sentiment: Beccy,
coloured with water colour pencils and water brush.
Dies: Spellbinder Circles and Oval.
The little leaf is a leftover from an Elizabeth die cut. (Curvy leaves)
Embossing folder: Darice "Crackled".
Papers: Coffee stained paper for the background, pink scrap paper for the circle.

Easter Card

The theme for day 5 over at Beccy's Holiday Card Challenge is "Bird or Animal".

So I made an Easter card with this wonderful rooster, a stamp from Nellie Snellen. I coloured the image with Tombow and Nuvo Shimmer Powder, fussy cut it and glued it to a patterned paper from A Bit More Time To Craft.

 The Easter greeting (Norwegian) is written on computer. 

Dies: Papirdesign (label/tag) and Studio Light Butterfly.

Corner punch: EK Success, brown pen and distress ink. "Silver" half pearls.

Easter / Spring Card

For this Easter card

I made the background with a self made stencil

on a patterned paper.

The paper is a marbled one from Sigel.
I made a flower stencil with EK Success flower punch

and used Nuvo Shimmer Powder "Cherry Bomb"

to get that special pink.

The green dots are made with a green pen.

I used the same pen for the faux stitches.

The image is Cottage Cutz "Daffodil Flower Stamp And Die",

painted with Tombow and Water color pencils.

The label die is from Papirdesign.

Brown distress ink around the edges,

Pink Rhinestones.

Tool: Cuttlebug.

Cuttlebug Mania Challenge Sheep

Over at Cuttlebug Mania we have a new challenge for you.

Today we want you to have a sheep on your project.

We also have a guestdesigner this time,

one of our winners.

I tried to use my Cuttlebug for so many elements as I could,

so therefor also my sheep is quite home made.
Here in Switzerland, where I live, the sheep have got horns,

and the animals are very fluffy.

They belong to the "Walliser Schwarznasenschaf".
But my sheep doesn't look (quite) like them. ^^

I used:
Embossing folder: Lifestyle;

Dies:

Spellbinders "Scalloped Circle" and "Heart" for the sheep.
The horns are from a Marianne Design Swirl.
Grass: Nellie Snellen.
Butterflies: Studio Light (orange) and Marianne Design (yellow).
Cloud: My Creative Time.

Flowers: EK Success punch.

Silver pen and glitter glue.

Home, Sweet Home

When I use digital images on my cards,
I often choose pre coloured ones.

But as I saw this stool on one of Beccy's

"Welcome home" set,

I thought of my mother's yellow stool

where she sat as she was sowing and planting.

And while she was doing that during the spring,

I wanted to use light spring colours on my picture.
I have so good memories of my dear parents,
doing their garden so well.

For this card I used:
White double card A6,
White card stock.
Patterned Paper: Dovercraft "Garden Party".
Image: Beccy's "Welcome home".
Dies: Nellie's Multiframe and Papirdesign.
Brown pen around the image and for the faux stitches.
Brown distress ink.
Silver half pearls.
Text written on computer.
Tool: Cuttlebug.
