Here's my creation for WOW! this month. The current theme is Not a card and I kinda cheated by making a pretty much card sized Art Journal page ;) For all the details and supplies hop on over to the WOW! blog and take part in this months challenge to have a chance to win some lovely WOW! products. You know you want them! Just make sure to use some WOW! product or heat embossing on your creation.
Today I'm up with my last guest post at the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft blog. I used my Flight of Fancy stamps to make a card. To customise the images I doodled on the leafs and colored them using Gelatos. For full instructions and material go see my post here.
Here's a sneak peek of my project. I hope you get inspired to play around with altering your own stamped images. It's a great way to stretch your stamps!
I had a great time playing with all of the products they sent me for the guest posts and even though I got free product the opinions I share about them are my own.
I hope to see you back soon!
It's my turn to show something on the Pretty Crafty Stuff facebook page today and I love the light bulb. I embossed it with Neutral ultra shimmer embossing glitter from WOW! and ran it through a Xyron sticker maker to attach it to the watercolor panel. I stamped text using a Winnie & Walter stamp set that I love. That font on the "you"... <3
Anyways, still keeping it pretty simple to be done with everything before Meet & Greet this weekend. I'll be seeing a lot of my crafty wonderful friends and even though I'm technically working I hope to get some crafty time too.
I totally adore my Spectrum Aquas. There are so many pretty colors and I love how they blend. When I was doing my tutorial for Spectrum Noir this month I revisited an old technique that works with basically all kinds of water based markers but I never really tried it with my Aquas before starting to experiment with it for my tutorial. It worked amazingly well, as I expected :) Klick here to get to the tutorial, if you haven't tried it before I highly recommend playing around because it is very easy, fun and gives a very pretty result.
I started out with these pretty butterflies. I made them really colorful and made a CAS card out of the panel.
Then I reached for this pretty holly stamp and made a very quick Christmas card. Great for mass producing. And the embossed sentiment makes it look special even though it doesn't take many minutes to make after you have planned it out.
I also made this card using my Flights of Fancy stamps, I love how they turned out. I splattered some ink ovet it to make it a bit more interesting and added glitter on one side. Because glitter always makes everything prettier.
I hope you got some inspiration! Thank you for stopping by, see you soon again :)
Earlier this month WOW! Embossing powders released two more sets of stamps that I designed for them I'm so happy to see my ideas come to life and I love seeing crafters using them in creative ways. anyways. The latest sets are called Pick 'n mix and Sparkle & Shine. I made this video talking about them and sharing some projects I made.

I really hope you like them and if you want a chance to win them you can pop on over to the WOW! blog where we are having a giveaway. Good luck!
I used the tulips from the Flower Silhouettes file to make this card. I covered them in WOW! Coconut Ice glitter embossing powder. It's sooooo pretty! It's a clear matte base with white glitter in it. It's one of my favourites since it is glittery but not too much. I also covered the background with golden embossing paste. Just smeared it on top of some ink blending that peeks out on the sides.
Look at all the glitter and shine. The sentiment are from one of the new sets that WOW! just released, it's called Pick n' Mix. I'll be back with a video and a post on them later this month.
I'll be back tomorrow with some cute ghosts from Lawn Fawn, I hope you'll be back then :) Take care now!
I was playing with the eBrush for my Design in Papers post this week. I used a paper doily as a mask and I like the way it turned out. I paired it with sushi from Lawn Fawn Let's roll stamp set, colored with my Spectrum Noir markers naturally. I have some of the new Lawn Fawn coming my way soon and I can't wait to get my hands on them! I loved the whole new release and wish they were here already but I guess I'll have to be patient. I suck at being patient, I am like a three year old when it comes to patience. I do actually recognise the postmans car by sound, running to the window trying to see if he leaves something fun in the mailbox. Will I ever grow up?
I hope to see you back soon! Have a great day :)
I made this cards using the new print and cut labels from Pretty Crafty Stuff, I thought it would be fun to use them for a card to show the versatility. I paired them with some new stamps that I designed for WOW! Embossing powder, this is just a sneak. The set will be released in September. I'll be doing some more sneaks of these and the other set I made that will be released at the same time. I can tell you that they are some graphical stamps and they will be very fun to play with! I'm super excited to see them on projects. Can't wait!
That's it for today, I'll be back tomorrow with some exciting news that I have been dying to share with you! Then again on Wednesday for my regular Design in Papers post. See you then (I hope) :)

Thank you for stopping by! I do have some happy scrappy news that I hope I can share with you real soon :)
Isn't it lovely when you get an idea in your head and try it out and it actually works like you intended to. Yay! I saw some heat resistent acetate when I was browsing my fav scrapbook store the other day, it was rather thin and not the thicker one I was looking for. But I saw the words laser printing on the package and got the idea in my head so I had to get it. Home I went and I printed out some digital Project Life cards on a page, got out my foil and laminator and when I was done I did a happydance because it turned out just as I wanted. I made a water coloured background using a few SpectrumAquas and I also very quickly watercolored a flower from Lawn Fawn and didn't even bother to make a sentiment because foil and watercolor was enough. I'm still very happy and oh, the possibilities. My acetate is by Crafters Companion and I used it with Fab Foil by WOW!, I'm sure there are other brands that will work as well, this is just what I had on hand and it worked great :)
This is my second post today, keep scrolling if you don't want to miss out on the first :)
Yesterday it was my turn to blog at the WOW! blog and I got to introduce the stamps I designed a bit closer. If you want a chance to win one of the sets you really should go to this post and leave a comment before August 1st. There are some projects and a new card to check out too. I wouldn't miss it if I were you :) I also made this video talking a bit about the sets and you get the pleasure (?) of hearing my voice.

I also wanted to share a card I made for Pretty Crafty Stuff, I used my favourite of the new embossing powders Marion Emberson designed for WOW, the Atlantic Seaspray. So pretty. I covered the whole jewel from Shine with it and it's yummy!
I hope you enjoyed this post and that you pop on over to WOW for a chance to win some new stamps! See you soon again :)
Every summer I go to Orust island for a crop. This is sort of the highlight of the summer, spending the whole day with some of my favourite crafty friends. Here are the cards I made for the challenges I had time to create something for.
First challenge was to create something using mainly the color green I think. This was the first card I made but I actually made another card for this challenge so this was just a warm up ;) Stamps from WOW Embossing powders and Lawn Fawn and I colored using the Gansai Tambi watercolor set.
Next challenge was to create something using two Project Life cards. I used the pretty golden one and a acetate one as a window for my shaker card.
This was a mixed media challenge, I made this card in a hurry but I love how it turned out. Stamp from Lawn Fawn, die from Winnie & Walter.
This ended up being the entry for the first challenge, using green as the main color. Stamps and dies from Winnie & Walter.
Today the Chibitronics team has the great pleasure to collaborate with Waffle Flower . They make the most unique stamps, and I fell in love ...
