Valentine’s Day

Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day today. And here’s a Valentine’s Day (“Alla Hjärtans Dag” is Swedish for “Valentine’s Day”) card I made for Kortskissen sketch #448. List of other challenges I participate in with this card is below the images.

I submit my card to the following challenges:

This year’s first Mother’s Day card

Home } Papercrafts } This year’s first Mother’s Day card

I had such difficulties taking photos of this card. No matter how I tried to edit the images, you can’t really see the shimmer of the pale pink cardbase. Also the turquoise frames around the designer papers ar shiny and there are glitter elements on the flowers.

I used Catch The Bug Stella Says Sketch Challenge #507 for the layout of the card.

I also submit my card to the following challenges:

613 Avenue Create Challenge #196 – Anything Spring
Card Mania Challenge #91 – April Showers Bring May Flowers
Crafting By Designs – Girls or Flowers

Snowmen and snowwomen

Home } Papercrafts } Snowmen and snowwomen

I’ve decided that today will be dedicated to cardmaking. Christmas cardmaking that is. Here’s the first one. The snowmen family is a stamp I designed for Skapa Hobby (no longer available) years ago. Somehow I don’t like to use stamp images I have made but this it pretty okay. I love smiley faces. 😀

I made the card for a bunch of challenges:

A Gem of A Challenge #183 – Snowmen/Women
The Merry Christmas Challenge #10 – Create a snowy scene
Penny’s Paper-Crafty Challenge #307 – Anything goes
Crafty Boots – Christmas
Creative Moments Challenge #108 – Anything goes
Card Mania Challenge #87 – Anything goes
Unicorn Challenge #19 – Add some glitter (I’ve used red glitter paper, rhinestones, and glitter glue on the snowmen)
613 Avenue Create Challenge #192 – Holiday happiness

Shiny green Christmas baubles

Home } Papercrafts } Shiny green Christmas baubles

First card this week is a Christmas card (chances I’ll make more Christmas cards during the week are big). The baubles (and the ‘God Jul’) are peel off stickers (or outline stickers as I think they are called in the US) that I adhered to a very shiny green paper. Middle bauble is mounted with 3D foam squares for a bit of depth, and for extra bling I have put golden rhinestones on the baubles.

I found it soooo difficult to take photos of this card because of the shinyness (that’s not a word, is it?). Anyway. The card is made for the following challenges:

Loads of challenges

Home } Papercrafts } Loads of challenges

Second card for today is made for five different challenges, four of them from blogs I discovered just today:

Card Mania challenge #82 – Lace and/or Pearls. I squeezed in both. I have loads of lace that I hardly ever use, I guess I should try to use it more often in my projects.
Cards und More challenge #163 – Embossing. Sentiment is embossed with black embossing powder. And embossing is something I should do more often as well. I’ve become “lazy” and always stamp without embossing.
Tuesday Throwdown #304 – Happy Birthday.
Simon Says – Anything Goes.
Sketch Saturday’s sketch #422.
