Sunday sketch at Frantic Stamper today!
It was such a long time since I las created with Kraft paper, and I really like the result!
The stamp is from Inkadinkado-Cling Stamps-Pet Dolls. A cute set of four usable stamps for only $3.49 (ca. 25 svenska kronor) BARGAIN!
Have you ever tried Inkadinkados cling stamps? This was my first time, and I completely fell in love! High quality and it clings perfectly...
It is colored with Copic Sketch Markers.
It would be great fun to see any of our readers take on the sketch! You find the email address where to send it in the blog!

You are five minutes from a completely finished homemade card!

I bet many of you are like me: in the middle of a hectic life. Sometimes we just don´t have an evening to spend making a card you need for someone’s special occasion. That doesn´t mean you have to go buy a card!
Today I made a card in five minutes, and that included the planning! I will tell you how I did it!
Items used: 3xBazzill cardstock, 1xpatterned paper, stamp, ink, embossing powder, fluid chalk, glue, button, stickers, paper cutter and a heat gun. (Everything used can be bought at Frantic Stamper.)
The size of the card can be chosen by the stamp you use. I used 9901-O Timepieces from Fran’s plate #99 which is the size 4,25" x 4,50" so here is how I worked with this clean & simple card.
First I stamped on the patterned paper. I used Bo Bunny’s "Smoochable - Heart Strings" and put on the Embossing Powder and heated it up with my gun. Powder used: a shiny powder that has become one of my favorites: American Crafts Zing - Black with Opaque Finish.
Then I glued it on my first cardstock (I used the color brown, I like to get great contrasts. The second cardstock is red. And the third and last is black and the base (scored in the middle, size 10,25"x6" before I scored it)
I chalked the edges and glued it all together. At last I glued on the text (alphabet stickers) and the button…
…TADA! All done! Quick, clean and simple!

Shopping weekend in Paris

I am so happy that I had the fortune to receive some stamps from Fran´s own collection! When I started to work with them I found a lot more “must haves”. I love them! Check them out if you didn´t already: http://franticstamper.com/stamps.htm
On this card I wanted to catch the feeling of a really great shopping day. Can you feel it? :)
I used 8207-J - Skipping rope from plate 82 (2002), but cut away the rope as it fitted better with my theme. That is what I call versatile!
I also used 6201-P - Paris Montage #2 from plate 62.
I tried on a few techniques and had a lot of fun: heat embossing, “regular” stamping, misting and coloring using Copic Sketch Markers.
As you can see I used the wooden embellishment both as it is and as a mask. That can be replaced by any embellishment or even a punched out motive from paper. Cheap and super neat, don´t you think?

Tävlingen börjar idag
Jag kickade igång morgonen med att ta en 50 minuters powerwalk i byn (se karta på min runda här)
HÄRLIGT men mycket kallare än i Gran Canaria där vi hade 20 grader och sol på morgonen!
Kommer att föra dagbok, för min egen skull. Tycker att det är lättare att äta rätt om jag skriver ner allt. Då har jag mindre tendens att fuska. :)

Two "first times" on this card!
(Fran - be prepared for a new fill-up order for more embossing powders - this was sooo much fun!!!) ;-)
I got inspired by Kathys latest Sunday Sketch, and here is what I came up with.

Stamp: Memory Box Polar Bear Globe, Die: Grand Snow Globe, White and black Bazzill cardstock, Patterned paper from MME Kraft Fun Day collection.
The thickers and the ribbon are from American Crafts. The bling from Prima. Fran holds a huge selection from both :)
I am a sucker for tools, I must admit that. But when I found the bowmaker it was really something I bought because I felt the true need for it. I have a very hard time getting nice bows on my own. The E-Z Bowz - Bowmaker was really easy to work with!
This is my first try, and I am sure it will get better after more training! Even this first one is much much better than my previous ones... Does it look ok you think?
Hugs from Jane

Christmas Toffee gift bags

Every year Michael (my husband-to-be) and our boys makes the best Christmas Toffee in the whole wide world :-P
This year I decided to give some of it away, in cutely decorated cellofanbags.
The base is a piece of Bazzill cardstock, scored in the middle. I used a stamp called Sleepy Santa (DoodleFactorys “Tis the Season”) colored with Copic Ciao pens. I also used Kaisercraft December 25 6"x6" Paper Pad and Micro Mono Stickers from the Basic Grey collection Curio.
I am totally in love with the Dec25-collection!!! Every single paper and deco is simply beautiful, don´t you think?
I stapled the bag and deco together with one of my favourite tools: Tim Holtz Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher.
Simple and easy, but so much more fun to give it away like this.
Thanks for visiting!
