Flower, tag and stamped border!

For this card I used the colors (+tag) from Embellish' color trends challenge. The sketch I used is from the Waltzing Mouse sketch challenge and it has Ribbon for Really Reasonable Ribbon and a handmade flower + flowers on the border and tag for the Flower challenge at ABCdt's May flower challenge. It is also for Let's ink it up - 3d flower + sentiment.

The stamps I've used are from WMS; Teeny Trees, Compliments of the season and Vintage Labels.

Welcome Baby!

Happy Monday Everyone!

For May Bonnie at Gel-a-Tins sent me this fabulous set; Elephant Garden to work with - and wow - did I fall in love with it right away!!! The elephants are super sweet and the paisle ones are absolutely perfect for backgrounds. I'll be back with more cards soon!

I made this card to fit the Play Date Cafe color challenge (green, purple, gray) and for Let's Ink it Up (sentiment + 3d flower). It is also a Baby card for Simon Says stamp and I just love the flowers on the elephants + it has a 3d flower for ABCdt's flower challenge.

Buttons, Twine and Bow!

For this card I've used the fab sketch from CardPositioning Systems - Thanks! It has Buttons and twine for Casual Friday.
I will also enter it at the Kraft Journal; Buttons and Bows and for those of you who follow my blog - you know that Kraft is my favorite "color" - it always inspires me!!! so I'm entering this for Creative Inspirations too and at Simon Says Stamp and Show; it's anything goes.
At Clear it out Tuesday it's ; Ribbon or trim. I'll be back tomorrow, when light is better with a better picture!
Have a wonderful week-end!

Live, Laugh, Love

So happy Blogger is working again - a bit scary there for a while; my info read ; your blog has been removed... 0-:
Well, well, Here's my entry for the Play Date Cafe this week.
The stamps I've used are from a new favorite set from Skipping Stones; Dandelion Dreams
It also has 3 different stamps for All sorts and a butterfly for Claudia and Company

Have a great Friday!

Flowery Birthday Wishes!

For this birthday card I used the WMS sketch - which I flipped upside down, the colors are from CR84FN27. It has flowers for ABCdt's challenge and Tip Top Tuesday and a die cut tag for  Papertake Weekly.

Stamp from Teeny Trees.

Hugs, Karin

Youth is the Gift of Nature - But Age is a Work of Art!

Another great video tutorial by Erin Lincoln at PTI's Make it Monday inspired me to make this "split up sentiment" card. I was slao inspired by the sketch at A passion for Papertrey and the colors at CR84FN.
At Let's ink it up it's embellish and at Simon says Stamp and Show it's Anything Goes!

Have a great Tuesday!

For my card I used PTI impression plate for the background
stams are frm PTI; Button Boutique and Birthday Basics
Paper; cosmo cricket: honey pie

You're Purrrfect!

Purrrfect stamps and Purrrfect color combos make me want to stamp all day!!!! Here's another card for The playdate cafe and for Paper Smooches! I will also enter it for the Kraft journal - it hasn't got buttons, but a little bow for the cat to play with!!!

Bee Happy - today too!

Think you can tell that I'm in love with Kim Hughe's Chubby Chums Bee (Just got the envelope from Paper Smooches today - yippie - shipping was sooo fast - wow! - can't wait to get to sit down to play with them!!!) and especially this little bee (which Kim so generously offers for free as a digi  on her website - thank you soo much!!) - my second card in two days!
Think this would make a perfect wedding card because could these little ones look any more in love than they do????
I used the colors from the Playdate Cafe so I'm entering their challenge and keeping my fingers crossed harder than ever before (-; !!!    FABULOUS prize to say the least!!!! Check it out!
For the flower I've used Carina Lindblom's tutorial that you can find on Create's blog.

Have a nice Monday!

Tea Party at the Waltzing Mouse!

For Claire's Birthday Party (she's turning two!) at the Waltzing Mouse Stamps I've made this little tea bag box cake !!. I used the WMS cake template and printed it half size. The stamps I've used are from Compliments of the season and the inside of the box is decorated with leaves from Teeny trees. (If you look really closely at that last picture I think you can see a tiny bit of it - had to finally give up trying to get a good pic of the inside...)
It is also for Wee Memorie's CRAFT challenge and the flower at the back is made of tissue paper so if that challenge hasn't closed over at Moxie Fab I'll enter it for that too and the flower challenge at ABCdt!!!
