Micey nice day...

A card for today, to wish you a "micey" nice day.

Penny  Black stamp set with watercolour pencil.

October Afternoon paper.

As it seems; I like to work with the same items to make sets of cards.

Often one stampset will inspire me to get crafty again.

Hello friend

A quick little card with another bear from the Penny Black  stamp set.

Image coloured with watercolour pencils on watercolour card.

Designer paper by October Afternoon on kraft card.

To the moon and back

I found this sentiment stamp from American Crafts at TK Maxx. It goes well with the cute stamps from Penny Black.

The card layout has been kept simple with clean easy shapes and the coloring is with pencils.

Hello baby

A Penny Black stamp for this sweet baby card.

Coloured with Caran d ' Ache Supracolour pencils on watercolour paper. Die cut flower petals are curled around a paint brush to give them dimension. Papers are by Crate Paper and gem swirl from Prima.

The sentiment on the inside is from a stamp collection by Crafty Secrets.

Christmas card series

Ahhh, it has been a while that I have posted. I mean a long while. So much has happened in that time,  I thought never to have time again for this blog.
But I have been crafting, card making and coloring, especially coloring. When I had no energy to sit in my craft room and make something, I still coloured many stamped images.
Last week, we re-arranged my craft room and added a large Kallax book case from Ikea. I wanted the Expedit, but waited so long that now it has been renamed to Kallax. I still use my second hand Bisley drawer cabinets as they are so handy and hold so much.
Let's show you some cards I have made with Crate Paper pre-scored cards and a stamp from Penny Black.


I made 4 cards in total, and all are different. Colored with Copics and pencils.

The inside carries a sentiment, with some washi tape as decoration. All cards have a white card insert.

My little fairy tale (1)

After my last upload directly on the Ipad, I have decided to go back to my laptop. I did not like the quality of the picture and the poor options of the Blogger app. Perhaps Blogger can improve that.

A break from all the Christmas card making...
What else to change the mood than a little Penny Black. My happy party goers have taken it in their stride, happy you will be.

More Tiffany papers and a simple little card design. The flower is made with Spellbinder dies and held together with a jewel brad.

The colouring is all done with Caran d'Ache Supracolor on watercolour cardstock. I have combined 3 stamps to create this scene.

I love the little footprints ...
