Teddy Bo tuesday in royal colours!

Good morning my sweet friends :)

Hope you all are fine and that the sun is shining wherever you are

At Teddy Bo we are having a new challenge today and my team, team A, are in charge for that.

The theme for the next two weeks is

Queen’s Diamond Jubilee –

Red, white and blue and lots of bling

I haven't made a really royal card I am afraid, because when I saw this cute Teddy Bea, I just had to use her! But I did use red, white and blue  and some bling:)

Here is my card:

My lovely Bea out for a walk :)

I have made a pocket tag card again and think it turned out quite ok :)

The lovely papers from Maja design really makes cardmaking so easy!

Here is the tag taken out

Fairytale friday

Another weekend is about to start and I have a new Teddy Bo card to share with you.

I have made this card for my MIL since Andre asked me to make a card for her for mothersday.

The sun is shining here today, so just a quick post as I am heading to bed after my night shift. Can't sleep all day when the weather is this beautiful :)

I have made a window on the front of the card for the lovely Teddy Bo to look through. Loved the effect with the spellbinder frame around the edge.

This is what it looks like from inside. The clouds are made with my Copic markers, still practising and trying out to find the best colours for the clouds. This has a lot of the T markers and I think it maybe was a little too dark, but even tho I like the clouds this dotty way :)

I mensioned the other day that my sister is getting married in july and I think this is my giftbox for her and her husband. Inside I will put a note about what the gift is because the wedding is in Poland and I just don't want to carry too much...

Hope you like it!

The back of the book is made by a fantastic new (to me) product from TH, Kraft Glassine and I have embossed with a TH embossing folder and covered it with Glossy accent to make it look shiny and fantastic! Thanks Trine for the fantastic idea :)

Guestdesigner Copic Marker Europe

Good morning everybody

Today I am so lucky to be guestdesigning at Copic Marker Europe blog.

I feel so honoured to be asked, but must admit I was a little bit nervous when I started to make my card!

I have made a birthday card to show you. I made it for one of my best blog friends for her birthday earlier this month and I hope she likes it, and of course you too :)

Happy birthday Maritha!!

I chose a wonderful digi image called "Nimbus the angel" for my card from the fantastic artist Mayzy. You find her Etsy shop here

The wonderful image is coloured in theese Copic colours:

Hair: E59, E39, YR 24, Y15, E50

Skin: E11, E21, E51-50, E93

Dress: R02, R01, R00

Wings: R02,01,00 and BG13,11,10

Shoes and brown details: E39,35, 31

Her eyes and lips has got a layer of Glossy Accent and on her wings I have

used At You Spica pen, Clear.

I made a tag in a pocket card with some lovely papers from Anna Griffin and the pink on the tag is from a Pion sheet.

All my flowers are WOC and Kort og Godt and the lovely hat pin is a treasured gift from a friend of mine, Susan Killam. She makes the most wonderful hatpins ever, just look here in her shop.

Like I often do, I used the amazing beautiful Fanciful Flourish from Cheery Lynn design on my card, and here I have cut it in two, to have on both sides of the image

This is how my card looks like when the tag is out.

the tag has this amazing poem from Kort og Godt and beside the image I have used a digi sentiment from Create with TLC

I hope you like my card

Thank you Copic Marker Europe for having me as your guestdesigner :)

Have a wonderful day everybody and take care

Hugs, Jill

Almost forgot this one...

Good evening friends!

Made this card last week after a friend of mine ordered it :)

Yeah, that's right another BOY confimation card! LOL

Feels like I haven't made anything else in weeks! But I promise I have, but I just can't show everything yet :)

I have used another D'Arcy's Diaries image, called "Skaterdude" and paired it with the lovely Maja design papers

And I love flowers so even if it is a boy card I sometimes have to use it...

Both my image and all the panels are cut out using my spellbinder mega ovals

and I just love the effect it gives

The texts inside comes from Kort og Godt and are perfect for a confimation.

Boy card

Thanks to D'Arcy's Diaries I have no more problems making boy cards as there are so many fantastic images to chose from.

I have made a confirmationcard for a boy and I chose the new released "Deep in thought" image and I have tried to make it a little more vintage than I usally do, as I know my friend that ordered it likes it that way.

Lovely image paired with some loooovly papers :)

Haven't used that cheesecloth in ages. I always think it looks so beautiful when other do it, but I find it very hard to do my self!

The back, all panels are stiched and inked.

Love the small sentiments for Confirmation from Kort og Godt and of course the Cheery Lynn swirl is always a hit I think :)
