Flowers Challenge #119

Har äntligen blivit något piggare och kan i alla fall börja leva igen. Är dock fortfarande riktigt slö och har problem med hosta och huvudvärk, men det går väl säkert över det med. Är jobbigt att bli så där ordentligt sjuk att det tar flera veckor att bli frisk igen.

I veckan blir det fullt upp med jobb och inte så mycket annat gjort, men jag har i alla fall ett kort att visa från SweetStamps.com.

----------------------

Finally my cold is getting better and I can get up at start catching up with all the chores I need to do. I really hate when I get so ill that it takes several weeks to get better.

This week is a really busy one with lots of work, but I do have a card to show you before the week gets too busy. It is a card for SweetStamps.com for our weekly challenge. This time we have a Flower challenge and I have made a card with an adorable silhouette flower stamp that I love.

As usual you can join the fun and win a $20 shopping spree for goodies at SweetStamps.com's online store. Make sure to visit the SweetStamps blog for more information and the complete Challenge Rules.

Challenge #118

Är fortfarande sjuk och ser inte direkt någon bättring. Förstår inte varför det inte går över någongång. Det var ju lika när jag var sjuk sist, då var jag förkyld hade feber och grejer i över 2 veckor. Det känns inte normalt.

----------------------

I am still ill and are just lying in bed with a cold. Don't really understand why it isn't getting any better, it has been over a week now. 

But enough of that, it is time again to show you another card made with products from SweetStamps.

This week we have an "Anything Goes" challenge and all of us in the design team are going to show you some new dies that just got released. The new dies are great and be sure to check out all of the blogs in this hop to see them in action.

Monthly Technique Challenge: Flip Flop Card

It's technique challenge at SweetStamps today and I will be showing you a card I have made using this months technique.

Technique Junkies is sponsoring this monthly challenge and that means the winner will be able to choose from a selection of Pat's awesome CD tutorials.

This month's technique is a different kind of card, a flip flop card. 

I had a hard time making my card since this type of cards isn't what I normally do. But even though I wasn't all that excited about the card I think it turned out ok and it is actually fun to try out new techniques.

Thank You

Som vanligt blir det mest kort och sånt här i bloggen numera, men det kanske blir ändring på det framöver. Känner mig för lat för att orka ta mig iväg och fota saker, men jag hoppas att inspirationen kommer tillbaka någongång så att jag kan ta min nya kamera och gå ut och fotografera igen.

Men för tillfället blir det mest kort som sagt och idag är inget undantag. Har gjort ett kort till ett företag som heter The Paper Nest och jag har använt en digital bild som kallas Fairy Under Mushroom. Är alltid bra att ha en uppsättning Tack-kort att kunna ge bort lite då och då.


---------------------

Today I want to show you a new card I have made for The Paper Nest using an image I really like. It is the Fairy Under Mushroom image. I just love all of those little fairy images.











































I colored this image with copic markers, but unfortunately I didn't really get the coloring as good as I wanted to. I don't know what happened the day I did the card, things just kept ending badly for me. I redid the coloring about 3 times and this was the best one I got. Not that I have ever been very good at coloring images, but this time I think I might have lost any talent I previously had. But it's ok anyway, I guess all of us have bad days every now and then right?

This card is pretty simple and I just used white cardstock, a piece of patterned paper, a spellbinders die, some washi tape and stickles. I did some paper piecing by printing the mushroom and fairy wings twice and glues them down on the image to get some more dimension to the card. And of course I had to add stickles to the wings.

Hello Wonderful

Idag är det dags för ett nytt kort hos Uniko Studio.
Denna månad fokuserar vi återigen på ett gammalt set och denna gång är det Pure Florals: Gerbera

---------------------------
 
It's the time again for a new post for Uniko Studio. This month we are revisiting an old set called Pure Florals: Gerbera. It's a great set with some beautiful and versatile flower images that I love to use. I have made two cards with this set and I'll show you both of them today.










































 
This first card is pretty simple but till a bit special. I used the flower from the stamp set and stamped it on a piece of paper and then I cut it out and placed in on the edge of my card base. I then cut away a strip of the front on the card to make the front smaller than be back. I then placed a piece of washi tape on the inside edge on the card so you can see it when the card is closed.
The big Hello sentiment is from a new stamp set called All Occasion Sentiments #1

Hello Wonderful


The second card is also pretty simple (can you tell I love CAS cards?) and this time i colored the flower with my Dylusions Ink Sprays. I think it gave the image a really fun effect.


 









































And that's all from me today, but make sure to hop a long in this blog hop and have a look at the other DT members blogs for some amazing projects .

Mom challenge #116

Nu sitter jag för första gången i mitt nya rum och allting är klart och fint här inne nu. Datorn är på plats, alla saker är flyttade och jag måste säga att jag trivs riktigt bra. Känns väldigt skönt att övervåningen börjar ta fort och förhoppningsvis är det snart inte länge innan vi kan flytta upp och få oss ett eget sovrum också. Ska ta och visa lite bilder på hur det ser ut här uppe också.

Som jag kanske har sagt tidigare så har jag fått äran att bli en del av företaget SweetStamps Design Team. Vilket innebär att jag kommer att designa kort åt dem i några månader framöver. Idag visar jag upp mitt första kort som jag gjort.

----------------------

As I have mention before I am lucky to be part of the SweetStamps Design Team and today is the day when I can show you my first card made with stamps from SweetStamps.

Since Mother's Day is coming up we are having a challenge over at SweetStamps blog where you can join the fun and win a $20 shopping spree for goodies at SweetStamps.com's online store.Make sure to visit the SweetStamps blog for more information and the complete Challenge Rules.
