TIOT # 43 ~ Winter



It's a fabulous new Tuesday and the DT challenge at SCACD today is to create a scene for one of the images in the Victoria Case for SCACD Winter Wonderland collection!
I decided to use the cute stamp called Winter, and wanted to do some paper piecing to make a nice scenery, but it just wouldn't look like I wanted it to. So I decided to make a drawing in stead, first I stamped the image, and then I drew around it, then colored with my Prismacolor pencils. I put Crushed Velvet Flock on her collar, (it's now on sale at Susana's store!) The sentiment is a Susanament from the Special Edition Ornament Collection by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD.

On the company blog Follow Your Heart you can see all the wonderful cards by the rest of the DT ladies!



On Thursday 12th you will get to see the brand new images that Elisabeth Bell has designed for SCACD! We're having a fun blog hop to showcase the fabulous new stamps!

And right now there's a great blog candy over at the store blog Follow Your Heart, check it out!

Holiday Penguin



First I'd like to give a big, warm hug to all of my visitors! So glad to have you stopping by, thanks a bunch!
Smiley from millan.net

Today I made a card with one of my favorite stamps, Holiday Penguin by Whipper Snapper Designs, he's just too cute!

When I was making this card I got to thinking; where would our card making hobby be without all the wonderful cutting devices that are available to us? On this card I used five different ones, QuicKutz leaves, Martha Stewart snowflake, Nellie Snellen flower, Cuttlebug border and Nestabilites label (cutting out the image), including my Fiskars paper cutter, it makes six.

When I look back at the cards I made in the beginning of my "card making career" - I like to think I have developed my skills, and of course I have, but without all these nice tools, my cards would have been pretty plain and dull, I think...

Have a wonderful Sunday now! Smiley from millan.net



PS!
For all you Elisabeth Bell lovers, there will be a new release
of fabulous fresh images

at the SCACD store this upcoming week!

TIOT on a Friday!



TIOT (Try It Out Tuesday) on a Friday! We were to make a card using the fab sketch provided by Suzanne, fun to do!
I used the cute Skater from the Victoria Case for SCACD - Winter Wonderland Collection, colored with Prismacolor pencils and cut out with Nestabilities dies. The sentiment is by Whipper Snapper Designs, and the swirl stamp is by Stempelglede.

On the company blog Follow Your Heart you can see all the wonderful cards by the rest of the DT ladies!

This is my second post for today - yes, I know, it's not 'normal' procedure for me!
Please scroll down a bit to see my DT card for the Friday Sketchers blog.

Enjoy a wonderful weekend everyone!








If you look closely on my card, you can see that I have played with my newest 'toys', floral punches with embossing 'punches' from Nellie Snellen. It's so much fun to see how the flowers turn out using these, it depends on the paper if they show a good embossing or not.



Friday Sketchers #77




Friday, lovely Friday - with a new fun challenge at the Friday Sketchers blog, this week it's Jacqueline's wonderful sketch we have played with!
I've used this cute bear by Card Craft-UK, colored with Prismacolor pencils. Sentiment is by Purple Onion Designs.
I put glitter on the snowflake, it sparkles like crazy in all the colors of the rainbow, but that's hard to capture in a photo...

I hope you'll take a look at the wonderful cards made by my DT sisters over at the Friday Sketchers blog, and that you'll find inspiration to make a card and take part in the challenge, there's a great prize to win sponsored by Digital Delights.

Thank you all for stopping by, I'm so happy to have you visiting my blog!
See ya'!











I'd like to send a hug and a thanks to my good friend Marit who made several snowflakes for me with her electronic cutting machine. I wouldn't have been able to finish my card the way I wanted without a helping friend!

The circle tag is by Catslife Press, and the sentiment is by Whipper Snapper Designs.
