Christmas Journal Card

 Last week Beccy asked me in a comment if my tags are thought for a journal
or for a Christmas marked.
The tags and cards I have made so far I hope to sell on a market.

But today I show a journaling card that I made for my new Christmas Journal.
I want to make a journal just for me. 😊

As so many of the things I make, also this one is upcycled. 

The cardstock is from an ice box,
The papers are snippets from a coffee stained paper
and a copy of a music paper.
Image: Gi (Happiness in Crafting).
I also used gesso, stamp, water colour pencils, distress ink and a blue marker for the dots.
This card is a little out of my comfort zone, but I like it.
(On this photo the gold around the image is too yellow.)

The Summer Girl 2

As I was a child,

I used to get books from my dear grandmother

for every Christmas and every birthday.

One of the "birthday books" was called

"The Summer Girl"

("Sommerpiken" in Norwegian),

and I thought of this book

as I used Beccy's "The Rose Hat" image

for my last cards.

Therefor I call these cards "The Summer Girl".

Here comes number 2.

I used:

White double card,

Sigel's patterned paper with the sky and the clouds for the mat.

A leftover from a patterned paper from "More Time To Craft".

Scrap papers, different colours.

Image from Beccy: "The rose hat", 

coloured with water colour pencils and a water brush.

Dies:

Fence: Marianne Design,

Grass: Nellie Snellen.

Punches:

Cat: Atelier Terziev,

Flowers: EK Success.

Christmas Card: Three Gingerbread Men

In Scandinavia one of the well known children's songs

at Christmas time

is the Swedish song about the three gingerbread men

who are "coming from Gingerbread-land".

As I was a teacher in Norway,

 we song the Norwegian translation.

That song inspired me to this card

where I used a digital stamp from Beccy.

The text on the tag is the beginning of the song.

Recipe:

White card stock.
Red paper.

The image from Beccy

is coloured with water colour pencils and water brush.
My experience is that gingerbread cookies
not always get an equal colour after baking,
so also these ones.

The three gingerbread men were fussy cut.

Embossing folder "Snowflakes" (unbranded)

Tag die: Marianne Design.

Brown and green pens for the faux stitches.

The inside of the card
tells why the gingerbread men are coming:
".... to wish you a merry Christmas".

Also here I used the red paper.
Spellbinders Oval Circle.
MS Heart Border punch.
Ek Success corner punch.
Snowflake stamp: Heindesign.
Silver Metallic ink for the stamp
 and silver pen for the faux stitches and the tiny snowflakes.

Friendship Challenge

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.

July Rudolph Days CAS Kitty Snuggle

For this month's Rudolph Days card

I used this cute House Mouse stamp

"Kitty Snuggle" (HMI 1002) from 1999.

I stamped it on white card stock

and colored it with water color pencils and a water brush.

Then I made a thin green line at the edges

and wrote the word Peace on the card stock.

At last I mounted the card stock on a white double card, A6.

I think this CAS card doesn't need any stash.
