Bildmalarna - 7 Deadly Sins - Greed

 Hello friends

I'm sitting at my desk and watching the sun rising, it's beautiful and it looks like it's going to be a lovely day. I'm away again this weekend, I'm off to look after Dora the Dachshund while her family go to Peppa Pig World! 

A big welcome to Carol Gill for becoming a follower, it's lovely to see you here.

I'm sharing my final card from the & deadly sins set from Bildmalarna, but I am still looking for the ones that I'm missing! So here it is...

To make this card I used the following:

6x6 card base

Bildmalarna stamp - 7 deadly sins - Greed (sadly no longer trading)

coloured with Promarker's onto Neenah Classic card

Papers are from Trimcraft - Retro Blooms

Flower dies are from Sweet Dixie - Delicate Blooms

Everything else from stash.

I followed a sketch by Jules at Always with a Heart blog you can find her sketches HERE

Have a great weekend and I'll see you soon.

Hello Friends

So it's new week and this year is moving along rather fast, not many paydays till Christmas... yikes. I know we must not mention the C word, but it sure is creeping up on us! 'Sunny Southend' is having a mini heatwave, it is lovely here - I hope it lasts the week. Anyhoo, I have a card to share, using another 7 deadly sins stamp from Bildmalarna, as I've said before I do like these stamps and here she is...

To make this card I used the following:

6x6 card base

Bildmalarna stamp - 7 deadly sins - Gluttony

coloured with Promarker's onto Neenah Classic card

Sentiment is Lili of the Valley Digi which you can find here

Papers are from a 12x12 pad from Make & Create - Sweet Garden Roses

Bildmalarna 7 Deadly Sins - Envy

Good morning friends,

It's another Saturday and week one of August is already done... yikes where is this year going? Yet again the weather here in 'sunny Southend' is hit and miss again, it's very cloudy this morning with the sun just breaking out every now and then, let's hope it stays out, (I wrote too soon, it's raining!) The Olympics finish tomorrow and I can honestly say that I've thoroughly enjoyed watching it, some of the more obscure sports have caught my attention. Anyway, I'm here to show you another card I have made using another old stamp from Bildmalarna - I love this range of stamps, so here she is...

To make this card I used the following:

6x6 Card blank

Bildmalarna stamp- 7 deadly sins, this one is called Envy

coloured with Promarker's onto Neenah classic card

Dies are Creative Dies Plus - Wonky Stitches and I have no idea on the background die as I took it out of the packaging

Papers from my snippet pile

Craftwork Cards sentiment

Everything else from stash.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and see you soon.

Good evening friends, I hope everyone is well? So who is watching the Olympics? I have a few bags under my eyes! Team GB are doing amazingly well at the moment and there is more to come. The weather here in 'sunny Southend' is a bit hit and miss, but so much cooler, which is good as I'm crafting through the night. Anyway I have made a few cards and here is one of them....

I have made this card using the following:

6x6 card blank

Bildmalarna - Seven deadly sins stamp this one is 'Pride' (I have 5 in this set and was disappointed that I couldn't get the other two, I'll keep checking Ebay!)

Which is coloured with Promarker's on to Neenah classic card.

The papers are from Basic Grey which I've had for years - Indian Summer

The sentiment is from a Lili of the Valley stamp you can buy the Digi stamp here

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts

Ribbon and embellishment's from stash.

A lot of my cards that I am making are using up old stamps and paper which I've had for years!

Thank you for taking the time to visit, I would like to say a special thank you to Meg who always makes the time to comment, they are much appreciated.

Enjoy the rest of your week and see you all soon!

Mimosa Christmas Flowers

Hello,

So it's a Friday evening, totally bored, nothing on the TV to watch - well not what I want to watch! I've spent the day making a start on my Christmas cards, to be honest I don't send that many as I usually donate what I would spend on postage to the local hospice. So here is one I've made today...

I've had this image for such a long time and it's sad that Bildmalarna no longer trade, I really liked their images, anyway I thought I would ink this up, she is such a cutie.

To make this card I used the following:

6x6 card base

Bildmalarna - Mimosa Christmas Flower stamp

Coloured with Promarker's

Docrafts Papermania First Noel papers

Cut & Make sentiment die

Bling and ribbon from my stash (I blinged the centres of all the flowers.) 

Have a great weekend everyone, thank you for taking the time to visit and I'll see you all soon!

Apologies for not doing this!

Best Friend

Hello everyone

I hope everyone is well and those in the UK have enjoyed their first day of proper freedom! So I'm off to a craft beer and pizza night on Wednesday with the other half and his sister and her husband, it'll be the first time we've all seen each other since way before Christmas. So looking forward to it!

I had a birthday on the 15th and didn't get loads of crafty bits... boo hoo, but I did get a new craft lamp and it's brilliant.

Anyway, I have spent today making a card for my friend who has been very supportive to me recently, too long to explain. Hope she likes it. So here it is...

To make this card I used the following, 6x6 card blank, a Bildmalarna image ( I do miss their stamps) coloured with Promarkers, Lili of the Valley sentiment, check card is a left over piece, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, dies are unbranded and everything else from my stash.

Have a great week and see you soon.

Bildmalarna - Who Remember's these Stamps?

Hello Again

So, where has the week gone let alone the weekend. It's been lovely here in Southend and I do wish I had a garden to sit in. So I have been following the free classes on Kit and Clowder and more practice is still needed. It's where to put the shading that puzzles me. I know I will get there in the end!!

Anyway, I have a couple of cards to share with you today. They are cards using mini Bildmalarna stamps. Sadly Bildmalarna closed down, I loved their stamps. I've coloured them both using watercolour pencils from Hunkydory (Prisms). I found them easy to use considering I am a novice at colouring with this medium. 

How cute are they?

Have a good week, if you're passing by my blog, please say hello, it's not compulsory. 

Take care and stay safe.

Hello and Happy 2012 to you All

Hello everyone, I hope you have all recovered from all the festivities. Christmas was over for me pretty quickly as I had to work Boxing day and New Year, but I did have a lovely christmas day.

I would like to thank my crafting buddies Lorraine and Leigh for my lovely crafting christmas goodies, I was so spoilt by them.

I did promise that I was going to be more active with my blog this year and so here is my first card for 2012. It's using a new stamp from Bild malarna that I've been itching to ink up. So a big thanks to the boyfriend for getting it for me....he has great taste..lol, even though I had to point him in the right direction.
