Marie "Sockergrynet" kände att hon hade svårt att få tiden att räcka till, så jag erbjöd mig att ta över och fortsätta att driva bloggen. KUL tycker jag!

Idag är det just Marie som bjuder på skissen 
Mitt bidrag blev såhär:

Here you see my take on the sketch you find at Frantic Stampers blog 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!

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!

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?
