Bättre sent än aldrig, det här är mitt försök på Creative Card Crew Challange 11. Temat var forma det. Det här kortet var gjort till en väns födelsedag, jag var så inspirerad av det nya sommar stämpelsettet fråm WOJ, så det blev ett äpple.

Cardstock: Bazzil Basic
Stamps: WOJ 09 Summer stamp set
Color medium: Derwent Watercolour Pencils, Versafine Onyx Black

Whiff of Joy and Papertake Weekly

I'm gonna go visit a friend today, her due date is coming up close and I thought I make a friendship card. And what do you know, the theme over at Whiff of Joy Challange is Friendship. I combined this challange with the wonderful sketch by Dawny at the Papertake Weekly Challange.
And my WOJ summer stamp set arrived yesterday so what a lovely chance to ink them up.
Jag ska åka och träffa en vän idag, hon kommer föda vilken sekund som helst och jag tänkte jag skulle ge henne ett vänskaps kort. Så vilken tur jag har att temat på Whiff of Joy Challange är Vänskap. Jag har kombinerat den utmaningen med med en underbar sketch av DawnyPapertake Weekly Challange. Min WOJ sommar stämpel set kom i brevlådan igår ochså, så det var väl ett underbart sätt att få använda dem.

I kept my inside fairly simple but thought I show it to you as I just started to make the insides.
Jag gjorde insidan ganska enkel, men tänkte att jag skulle visa den till er eftersom jag precis har börjat göra insidorna.

Materials:
Cardtock: Bazzil Basic
DP: Shabby Princess
Stamps: Whiff Of Joy, Summer Stamp Set
Flowers: Panduro, Big blue free from mag
Ribbon: Panduro

Be Inspired #31

My insperations comes mostly from other crafters creations and from challanges. When I saw the Cuttlebug Challange - Be inspired #31 I was truly inspired. The challange was "Make a 3d project", all the DTs had made some sort of books. And after seeing all those lovely albums that Vikki over at Vikki's albums makes I just had to try my own. Not having any blank books or templates for one I constructed my own from bazzil basic cardstock.
Min insperation kommer mest från andra "crafters" skapelser och från utmaningar. När jag såg Cuttlebug Challange - Be inspired #31 så blev jag verkligen inspirerad. Utmaningen var "Gör ett 3d projekt", DT:na hade gjort olika slags böcker. Efter att ha sett alla underbara album Vikki gör på Vikki's albums var jag bara tvungen att göra den själv. Eftersom jag inte har några blanka böcker eller några mallar så konstruerade jag en själv av bazzil basic cardstock.

Materials:
Cardstock: Bazzil Basics
DP: Sense
Stamps: LC09 Tilda with Puppy, CC09 Butterfly Grass

Creative Card Crew Challange 10 - Minimal

I found this wonderful but kind of busy paper that I wanted to use but haven't know where, until I saw the Creative Card Crew Challange. This week the challange is Minimal, so I let this beautiful paper talk.

Jag har hittat ett helt underbart men kanske lite plottrigt paper. Jag har velat använda det men inte kommit på till vad, tills jag såg utmaningen på Creative Card Crew bloggen. Denna vecka är utmaingen "Minimalt", så jag låter det vackra pappret säga sitt.



Materials:
Cardstock: Bazzil Bling
DP: The flowery from Sense, the dimonds is a download from Tinker & Co
Stamp: Magnolia, painted with centropen markers

Colour Create Challange, Stamp with fun & Just Magnolia

This was a hard card to make, not the combinding the challanges part, that came all by itself. But acctually the challanges themselves.
First there is the Colour Create Challange #15 - Blue and Green, took a very long time until I found the cardstock and DP that went with each other.
Secondly there was the Stamp with fun challange #6 a beautiful sketch, but does anybody know how hard it is to make a good octagon without a template, finally I dusted of my knowledge in trigonometry and had something that was kind of symmetric.
And last there was the Just Magnolia Challange #4 - In stitches, I do like to sew, but my free-hand stitching sucks, I tried to make some lacy daisies but they woulden't look like I wanted, so I compromised, they became x-es.
I do like how it turned out tho :)


Materials:
Cardstock: Bazzil Basics
DP: ShabbyPrincess.com (Freebies)
Ribbon: Panduro
Stamp: Magnolia colored with Derwent watercolour pencils
