Hi there!

I have enclosed a sketch for you…

 The Filiona stamps are gorgeous, for my first Christmas card of the year, I wanted to use the  little reindeer  from the Filionas. It is coloroured with Promarkers, and I have added some glue and glitteron it to suit the chipboard.

 Have a great end of week!

Hi!

Halloween is already behind us and here is my last Halloween card of this year.

To make the pumkin:

- Cut 5 oval pieces of cardstock paper

- Ink the edges

- Stamp with one of the Tingtura’s swirl. I have used the swirl long 2

- Then stick it together with glue and 3d foam as you can see on my card

- Add a piece of brown paper and that’s it!

Here is your  little pumkin! Cute isn’t it?

 Let’s have a close up…

Hope you will like my card! have a nice week!

Hugs,Emma.

Hi,

Back this week with a card. Inspired from quilting wich is becoming more and more popular! So this card is made with pieces of paper for the front…glued and sewed. Of course it’s easier with a sewing machine, but you can also make  faux-stiched. For the title of my card, I’ve chosen to keep a part of the 100% love stamp, so I’ve used my Marvy markers and colored the part I wanted to keep. Doing this is great, because you can also use many colors on one stamp!

We always show you fronts of cards, but what about backs? It’s as important since there will be the writing on it!  You can add on it  the swirl stamp and enhance it with a white roller. I love that ! Of course all borders and corners are inked but you could also add stiched on the back!

Wish you a very nice week!

See you soon.

Hugs,

Emma.

Hi!

Only 2 weeks from Halloween! And this week a new card with ghosts…Boo! I wanted it to look like a file folder…

 The Laughing Ghost  and Whining Ghost   were inked and mounted on 3d foam. The eyes and mouths are coloured with Promarkers.

They are so cute and funny!

Have a nice week!

Hugs,

Emma.

Hi!

As fall is slowly coming up to us, I’m scrapping my summer pictures… When my daughter was playing with her small ladybug.

I’m really into butterflies right now, so I used my cuttlebug to die cut two butterflies and stamped on them the flying butterflies. I also stamped it on my kraft background. I’ve made my own flower with very fine white and pink paper, stamped on the middle part the dotted circle and then slightly crunched the paper. The 100% love  stamp is used as a tag, and sticked on the white feather.

A little close up at the tag and my flower…The title and butterflies…

Have a nice evening! See you next week!

Hugs,

Emma.

Hi!

October… witches, pumkins, trick or treat,… time to think about Halloween! and candies too!

I have prepared a Halloween card with the flying witch stamp. Hope you’ll be inspired!

The stamp is coloured with Promarkers and mounted on 3d foam. All papers are cut with the corner chomper and inked with black distress ink.

To end with for today, I’ve got another card to show you… An owly card! With stamps that are so sweet!… The small butterflies and 100% love stamps!

Wish you a nice week, and see you soon with a scrapbook page!

Hugs,

Emma.

Butterflies are so sweet… I really love it… and I’m  completly in love with those  BUTTERFLIES stamps.

To make this card, you’ll need some remaining papers, some cardstocks and TINGTURA stamps: the small butterflies and 100% Love.

Ready?

- Border punch a strip of paper and attach along the bottom of your cardstock. You can ink it, with brown or black ink.

- Then punch or cut 8  circles, ink it too, and layer onto the card as shown on my card.

- Cut a trunk in brown cardstock, drawing it beforeand glue it.

- Due  cut a little bird and glue it on the three.

- Stamp the Butterflies onto the cardstock and onto the tree so that  it gives this impression of flying butterflies.

- Add a sentiment stamp, I’ve use the 100% love  stamp, but there are lots of other TINGTURA stamps in swedish.

-Punch a flower in fine paper ( several at the same time as the paper is very fine), separate the different layers and glue it, using a circle of paper ( stamped with the Butterflies) to make the heart of the flower.

- Add some pearls, and here you are!

Hope you like my card! See you soon!

Hugs from France,

Emma.

Hello!

This week, I’ m going to give you the recipe of an easel card like mine. Mine is done for a birthday, but any Tingtura stamp will suit your card, and thinking about halloween and Christmas not so far… that makes a lots of cards to do for family and friends!

Here  is my card closed…

And opened…

The stamp…

1) Cut a piece of craft cardstock to 15X15. Score and fold at 15 cm and 20 cm.

2) Cut a square of 15 cm and attach to the fold of the card to create the easel shape.

3) Glue a 14,5 cm square of red carstock to the front of the card.

4) Matt a 14 cm sqare of patterned paper onto the red cardstock.

5) Cut a 12 cm squareof red cardstock and a 11,5 cm of patterned paper and fix it at an angle in the front of the card.

6) Attach a scalloped strip to the card.

7) Stamp the GIRL WITH GIFT stamp with memento ink and colour it ( I’ve used Promarkers). Matt the image onto red cardstock and attach to the front of the card.

8)  Punch 3 different sizes of circles, attach them at the centre with a brad, and scrunch them up. Make a second flower.

9) Place the first flower in the left-hand corner of the card.

10) Cover the easel card base with red cardstock and a smaller piece of patterned paper. Add a sentiment onto white paper ( I’ve printed it) and place the second flower to decorate the front of the card.

 And that’s it!

You can ink all the papers like me ( with black distress), or draw small black faux-stitched.

Hope you like it, and don’t forget to send a link to your blog and card, I’d be very happy to see your cards!

Hugs,

Emma.

Hi!

I’m back with 2 cards this week, I don’t know why but I’m into card making at this time.. I ‘ll  have to do scrapbook page, got a lot of pix!

So, this week, I’ve used the wonderful new WEDDING COUPLE stamp! Stamped with Memento ink as usual, and colored with Promarkers , only grey tones. I wanted a very freestyle card, so after having glued the paper and the stamp, I spray some Glimmer mist and Adironback color wash on the card, and ended with putting some Gesso with a toothbrush. I also used the 100% LOVE stamp as title.

Wanna see how it looks like?!

Here it is…

For my second card, I remained in black and white with the PRINCESS WITH FROG PRINCE stamp. Il love this stamp!

Have a very nice week! See you very soon!

Hugs,

Emma.
