A is for Anything goes

With these two cards I realise I already made 10 Christmas cards in January. Well that's kind of a good start!! A big reason for the continous production are these fun challenges. One of them monthly challenges has a alphabetic theme, two letters each month; ABC Christmas Challenge. Great idea and inspiration. Here are my card for A. B is coming up as a separate post otherwise the linking will be messy.

A is for Anything goes 
I used my new Nuvo Shimmer powder in green and Solar Flare and Green parade to create the background to imitate northern lights. Then I used the beautiful stamp from Studio Light and the textstamp from Craft Emotions. I sprinkled som Embossing powder Frantage from Stampendous over it to create a snowy feeling. I smudged the ground a bit around the animals using a white art crayon. I didn't want the line from the background to be so sharp there. I used a strip of embossed paper from the pine folder from Leane Creatief embossing folder.

The cardstock behind the picture and the thin strip on the side is actually dark green although the photo makes it look black...

Hope you enjoy it!

Recycling is the new black for everything

When I saw it I just couldn’t resist it. Fab n funky’s challenge no 421 “Recycling your Christmas cards”. It felt a bit taboo but of course I didn’t use a handmade one! But if you think about it it’s a really good idea. And I’m quite satisfied how the card turned out. 

Especially with the text stamp I never used before... though it’s been in my stash for maybe ten years. It’s from a clearstamp set bought in my favorite shop by that time. That same shop is long gone. But it is funny that I think it is the same person who sold that stamp set to me who shared the link to this particular challenge. Funny how things end up making full circle sometimes... Maybe that’s why there’s (beside the obvious need for it) a beauty in recycling.  


I used a snow globe die from Crealies, a pine tree embossing folder from Leane Creative and the bird is from a brand called Ultimate Craft. As you can see I'm quite fond of Nuvo Chrystal drops so I dotted with the bottle as snow in the globe.

Hope you got inspiration and maybe dare to recycle a card you too! It was fun!

Ibland när man har ett pappersblock

Periodvis sitter jag och målar mängder av motiv, som sedan ligger och väntar. De kan vänta länge. Upp till ett eller två år. De har tagits fram och lagts undan. Måttats mot olika papper, men njä. Sen plötsligt en dag faller allt på plats när man står där med sitt pappersblock och bläddrar och klappar sina nya fina papper. Då minns man. Då tar man fram henne. Och sen är det flow. Blommorna i ramdiesen passar mot pappret och blommorna i hatten. Fjuniga ankungar, kycklingar och fjädrar. Kanske de där gulliga kaninerna också som jag klippt ut från ett annat ark i blocket men skrotat projektet. Och gräs. Gräs bakom. Och fjärilsdie. För det finns fjärilar i pappret. Plötsligt kreativ harmoni och man är glad att man väntat med den där söta söta Sarah Kay-stämpeln.
