TioT - Pretty papers

Over at Try it on Tuesday our new challenge theme is "Pretty Papers". I have so many pretty papers I can choose from as it seems I've been hoarding them over the years, but Maja Design has always been one of my favorites so I chose papers from there.

I don't have a big supply of butterfly items, but I won these dies earlier this year and I think they are so pretty. I die cut some borders, stamped a sentiment and added some bling and my card was done,

Please head over to the challenge blog to see the my TioT teamies have made and to get more inspiration.

Tag shaped birthday card with a plane

This might look like a tag, but it's a tag shaped card with a top fold.
I used a cute bunny and plane image from a set from My Favorite Things and made a stencilled cloudy sky as background for the first tag layer. I also added some stamped fussy cut clouds.
For the second layer I used a stamp with a repeat pattern of "gratulerer", which is what we use to say congratulations or happy birthday in Norwegian.
From my stash I took yellow ribbon, white string and a plane metal charm.
My youngest nephew is turning 8 later this week and I think this is the card I will be giving him.

This tag shaped card is for:
The Male Room - Travel
Happy Little Stampers Birthday July - Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Transport It
Hobbykunst Sommermaraton - #9 Metallpynt

INK #294 - Travel Moodboard

At Inkspirational we have a moodboard for you to play with and I was inspired by the travel theme, like the map and the wings. I needed a card for a colleague and the theme was spot on for her.
I made a background a stamp set from Aall & Create as well a numbers from Tim Holtz. I die cut the airplane and the sentiment.from glitter paper .To make the design a bit more feminine I added two cut out flowers and some dew drop like pearls.
I encourage you to head over to the challenge blog to see what my INK-teamies have made.

Back in blogland - TioT 3 Colors

I'm back in blogland after a much needed break and holiday away in the sun. Now I'm back home, to cooler temperatures and grey clouds, which is perfect weather conditions for spending time in the craft room and visiting others blogs!

Over at Try it on Tuesday our new challenge theme is "Use 3 colors".
I made a one layer sympathy card using the faux embossing technique and the colors kraft, brown and white. The sentiment is heat embossed. The flower stamp is from Penny Black.
