Just Me Number 5 from Bidmalarna

Hello everybody!
 

I'm here today to show you my last card with one of the new Bidmalarna girls...have you seen them? They are very different from usual, but so lovely and sweet the same!

I used Just Me - Number Five and I have had lot of fun colouring her with my Copics!

The lovely papers are from the fab  Echo Park - Sweet Girl 6x6 Paper Pad and the cute sentiment is from C.C. Design.

 

I also added some Light Pink Raffia Lace , a pair of Flourishes from Prima and some  Flat Backed Pearls.

 

A big hug everybody,

Franz :)

Letter for you - A Bookmark

Hello everybody!

 

Franz here again with my weekly inspiration :)

I coloured with my Copics  a lovely image from C.C Design this week:

 

 This is her name: Letter for you and she's quite different from usual, in fact she's lying on the floor writing a letter, so funny!

 

I studied her a little bit and finally I decided that she would be perfect for a bookmark and I realized it with the the lovey papers from a set called Sweet Girl from Echo Park:

 

 

I also added some Light Pink Raffia Lace and the border is punched with the Edger Doily Lace  from Martha Stewart.

 

 

 I hope you liked it :)

 

Don't forget that we are having 15% off across the store this bank holiday weekend!

 

 

 thanks for your visit!

Tractor Luka

Good Morning everybody!

 

Franz here with a tag with one of the lovely new stamps from La La Land Crafts, the little funny guy called Tractor Luka, I've coloured him with Copics and added some extra depth with my Prismacolor Pencils:

 

 

I have used some Bazzill Papers , the Spellbinders Nestabilities to make the sun and the gorgeous Tulip Border Die from C.C.Design ;

 I have also added some Lemon Raffia Lace and a lovely button from the set Prima Wood Buttons-Lady Bird

 

 

The fence is the DooHickey Lovely Fence from Magnolia and the sentiment is one of  two you get with Tractor Luka: "Enjoy Your Day!", too cute!

 

I hope you liked it :)

Franz

Leapin' Lewis

Hello everyone, Karina here today, to show you a winter-like card I made with this sweet penguin from High Hopes called 'Leapin' Lewis'. Isn't he so sweet? I coloured him with Copics. I wanted to create my card in a mix of winter and Christmas colours; white, blue, red and green. The papers from Carta Bella 'Merry & Bright' have this combination. I just love those sheets with numbers on it. And dots and stripes are always perfect. Under the lace I added some dark pink raffia lace. The flowers I added are from Marianne D Mixed Paper Flowers Christmas. I added a tiny brad and a spacer in the middle of each flower. The tree is from Marianne D Creatables. And the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps, and so is the matching die. As an accent I added some Pistachio Green Flat Backed Pearls near the image.

Below you can see a close up of the image...

Have a wonderful day now! And hey... check out the Christmas Shop at Bunny Zoe's Crafts, as you have 15 % off on anything in there.

Hugs, Karina

MAN Card and No Stamps

Hi Peeps,

Can you believe it, no stamps, yikes!!!! I had to do one of those dreaded MAN cards for my BIL's birthday and with the new Marianne Design release it really couldn't have been easier to be honest.

Anyway, enough chat here it is.......

I used the *NEW Marianne D Creatables T-Ford LR0197. This pack comes with two dies showing the back of the car and the front of the car. It reminds me of the TV show The Waltons. It's availalbe immediately from Bunny Zoe along with many others so check it out.
