Jag gillar att göra men har lite svårt att ge dessa ovanligare julkort. Men jag låter inte det hindra mig!
Jag deltar i följande utmaningar: Sketch Saturday, Winter Wonderland (Traditional Colors - with not so typical theme ;)), CRAFT (Christmas), CSAYL (CAS), Deep Ocean (Christmas in July), Pile it on (Christmas in July) och Creative Knockouts (Outdoor activities).
So glad you stopped by! You know the saying that practice makes perfect? Well, with this blog I'm chronicling my journey to reaching 10 000 hours (the amount needed to learn a new skill well) at card crafting. And yes, I'm enjoying the process :)

The Princess sends her thanks!
I recycled a fab envelope, as the geometric shapes are cut out from it and everything that looks brown-ish is actually glittering gold/bronze, cut from the inner part of the envelope. So I felt pretty clever with that :)

Joululauluja
Joululaulut ovat parhaimpia / pahimpia korvamatoja.... Nytkin keskellä heinäkuuta joululaulut monella eri kielellä vaan soi ja soi korvieni välissä... Noh, kunhan vaan kaupat eivät aloittaisi niiden soittamisen lokakuussa!

The Value of a Moment
Jag gillar den här kortmallen eftersom jag klippt till den med frihand, dvs den är förlåtande och kräver inte exakta mått. Stämplar är inte (ännu) min grej, men kanske det ännu blir det, jag gillar min cyklande Bella, och har nu tagit fram några andra stämplar för sommarsemestern. Det här kortet gjorde jag till min väninna som fyller år, hon gör ofta kloka reflektioner så därför tänkte jag att ett citat passar bättre än ett Grattis.
Jag delatr i: Di's Digis (Celebrations), Crafty Ribbon (Bicycles), Fan-Tastic Tuesday (In the Garden), Artistic Inspirations (ATG w/ twist of Summer), I love Promarkers (Sports, even though the pace here is quite leisurely), Open Minded Crafting Fun (Photo Inspiration), Passion for Promarker (Fancy that) och Creative Inspirations (Girlie).

Tea party in the garden
I'm imagining this grand lady organising a teaparty in her garden, where there would also be something a little bit stronger on offer, like some bubbly as represented by my bit that I cut off from a cork and added some glitter to.

White on White
White on White is a difficult theme for me, but that is what challenges are all about. Right? But it was difficult to get the details to show in the image, here I've used a lovely flower-y embossing folder butthat just does not show, and neither does the pretty paper that I've cut out the Hello from.
I'm participating in: Creative Card Crew (White on White), Allsorts (Flowers), Inky Chicks (Butterflies) and TTCRD (ATG).

Birthday Martini
Note to self: use sturdier paper for these flip-it cards, do not be tempted by lovely but thinner two sided cardstock. So I made this card and showed it to my girls and one of them managed to handle it sort of roughly and it fell apart. But yes, the cardstock was not the best possible...
I'm participating in: Dare to be Sassy (Just Fold it), Cupcake Inspirations, I love Promarkers (ATG), Sister Act (ATG) and Allsorts (Flower Power).

Spelglada grattis på 44-årsdagen!
En gång tidigare har jag använt spelkort för att visa åldern på mottagaren, och gillade den då så det är egentligen konstigt att jag först nu gör det. Mottagaren firade med att ha olika spel på programmet, därav kortets tema.

Wuff!
I had some difficulty in googling an answer about what paper piecing is, and I actually got two (sort of different/sort of complementing) answers, and as I understood this when i put together several pieces of paper into the dog constitutes paper piecing. Hopefully I'm right, even though most entries in these challenges had a different interpretation of it...
I'm participating in: I love Promarkers (Paper piecing, with the background inspired by a Promarker tutorial I found), Come and Get it (Paper Piecing), Cutie Pie (Cats and dogs), Suzy Bee (Add Buttons), TTCRD (ATG) and Glitter'n'Sparkle (ATG).

Royal Birthday
My proportions went haywire with this one, but then again that way I get to experiment. Also, the paper is IRL so delish, that I didn't want to hide it, therefore the satin ribbon is so low and I hope my interpretation of the sketch is still okay.
My princess participates in the following challenges: Simon Says Monday (Royal), Allsorts (Satin & Lace), Incy Wincy (Sketch), Send a SMile 4 Kids (For the girls), Fairytale (Geburtstag mit Kindern) and Catch the Bug (ATG).

Cruising into Summer
Jag fattar inte att jag som tycker att jag tänker rättså grönt i vardagen är förtjust i bilbilder och anser dem vara ett klart vårtecken. Men främst på kort, inte i verkligheten, för där bryr jag mig inte alls om bilar. Konstigt!

Game on!
Det är sommarlov och solen skiner, men om min pojke fick bestämma skulle han kunna sitta framför en skärm mest hela tiden - men oväntat socialt är det ändå då han samtidigt ofta kan prata med sina kompisar.
