A Christmas card

Hello sugar friends, are you making Christmas cards yet? I am, and today I have a Christmas card to show you. The stamp I have used is not a Christmas image, but I think it works anyway:) This beautiful girl is a Sugar Nellie Simply Adorable digi, and her name is Flora. You find her over at Funky Kits.

This time I have used Prisma Colors for coloring, and I have decorated the card with flowers, die cuts and swirls. I have made the frame with punches from Martha Stewart, and the corner swirls are dies from Quick Kutz.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend.

Hug from Marianne.

Sweet Success

Hello sugar friends, it is me (Marianne) that will show you a card today.

Have you seen Sugar Nellies new hedgehog stamps? They are all so cute, and I have made a card with the stamp called Sweet Success. You find this sweetie over at Funky Kits.

I wanted my card to be sweet and playful, and maybe with a taste of summer. To color the image I have this time used my Promarkers, and the papers are from Maja Design. I have punched out some butterflies, and the thin red edge around them I have cut by hand. For decorations I have used ribbon and buttons, and the Norwegian text says ”Happy birthday”.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend.

Ribonita - Mori

Hello everyone, I hope you are all fine. It is an early spring here where I live, and it feels wonderful!And with all the new stamps from Sugar Nellie to play with, things couldn`t be better:)

If you haven`t seen them all jet, run over to Funky Kits and take a look. You will not be disappointed.

It is easy to fall in love with the new and beautiful Ribonita stamps, and sweet Mori became my favorite right away. When I inked her up she told me that she wanted to be in a sweet and girly card, so girly it is:)

 I have colored her all in pink with my Copics. The colors I have used are V000 – RV91 – RV93 – RV96. I have used pink papers, pink cardstock, pink flowers, pink pearls and a pink bow. The pink butterflies are dies from Cherry Lynn, and the borders are dies from Nellie Snellen.

This time I have used my Copics for the coloring. The colors I have used for her clothes are V91 – V93 – V95 – V99. I have framed the card with punches from Martha Stewart, and decorated with flowers, pearls, a bow, and die cut swirls and butterfly.

Country Style

Hi there, it is me ( Marianne) that have something to show you today.

It is no secret that I love all the new Sugar Nellie stamps, but today I want to show you one of my old favorites. This gorgeous image is called "Country style", and you can find it here at Funky Kits.

This time I have used my Prisma Colors on grey Smooth Bazzill. I just love this way of coloring, and that it doesn`t always have to be white or craft cardstock.

Different folding cards are very popular, and I am a big fan of folding techniques, but today I have made a card without any folds at all. I have used Spellbinder dies in three sizes, decorated each part, and used a brad to put it all together. This was a very easy and fun way to make a card that looks a little special, why don`t you give it a try? All the papers I have used are from Maja Design, and the big white swirls is a die from Cherry Lynn.

I wish you all a nice, creative and sweet weekend.

Hugs from Marianne.

Purrfect Playmates

Hi there sugar friends, today it`s me (Marianne) that have something to show you.

The image I have used for my card today is one of my all times favorites, “Purrfect Playmates”. I remember Funky Kits showed this image in the Home Grown logo a long time before it was available in rubber. At least it felt as a long time for me:) Well, if you don`t have this beautiful stamp, you don`t have to wait at all. You can find it right here at Funky Kits.

To color the image I have once again used my Pirsma Colors, but this time I haven’t used white paper or craft cardstock, but a crème colored cardstock from Bazzill that is smooth on both sides. It was so much fun to work on this cardstock, why don`t you give it a try?

All the papers I have used are from Pion Design, the frame is made with MS punches, and the swirls and butterfly are dies from Cherry Lynn. The big flower I have crocheted my selves, and if you want to make flowers like this, just take a look here.

Here is a close up of this sweet girl and her playmates.

And this is how my card looks on the inside.

I wish you all a great weekend.

Hugs, Marianne:)
