Hi all, here is my card to inspire you,

I could not resist to make a card with the

super cute squirrel friends.

I just love those squirrels and lovely little elements and sentiments. 

So I have created a little scene on a heart shaped die basis of Perfect Colouring Paper ( Copic paper ) .

I have used my Copics to colour ,

in case it might interest you

 there is a colouring video on the Copic Europe blog .

I have layered my coloured scene onto some design paper cut in a bigger heart shape and have also added some tags underneath.

All edges were distressed with some pumpkin patch ink.

And I did some hand sewing too.

Inspirational Wednesday : Polar pals

 Hello Krafty Friends!

It is INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY!

the day we provide you with a bit of extra krafty inspiration to help you get creative with your krafty stamps!

Krafty girl Anna here! 

Today I have decided to make a special Christmas card 

with the lovely clearstamps set 

designed by Emilie Goulet called polar pals .

This set can actually be used for various occasions ,

and besides this super cool  polar bear and penguins 

it also has a fun racoon and some lovely sentiments .

Anyway I love to make Christmas cards ,

not only in November but during the whole year :) 

as  I do not like to  make them in a rush just before Christmas.

Did you know that at Kraftin Kimmie's group on facebook 

 we have a weekly Christmas challenge folder with a theme?

 

A special shaped card, I think I will add a little holder on the back so that it can be hung / attached to the wall or a door as decoration too.

I have stamped the stamp with wicked black ink onto Copic paper 

( Perfect Colouring Paper ), 

the poinsetta was coloured withsome 

 whimsical wisteria ink and salty sea ink and water * .

* The ink was put on my Tim Holtz glass mat 

and after having sprayed some water onto the ink

 I have pushed the poinsetta 

cutted out of watercolour paper on top.

 Copic colours;

polar bear and penguins :

N 0, N 1, N 3, N 6

YR 61, YR 65

background :

BG 70, BG 72, 

V 0000, V 000, V 01, V 12, V 15, V 17, BV 08

This background was inspired by a lovely blogpost of Faye..

it is easy to do and I love the effect.

The dies I have used are from 

Studiolight ( cardshape )

, Joy ( ovals )

, Marianne Design ( poinsetta )

,I-crafters ( alphabet ) , 

MFT ( letter tags ) .

The designpapers and the fabric flower with strass are from Action .

The plain papers are from Avec.

If you do not have this fab stampset called 

 polar pals 

 it is now the right time to grab it! 

They are on sale at 40% off this week

Krafty Girl Anna Blankina here, as your hostess this week.

Today I have prepared a never ending fold card.
This type of card has many spaces so the clearstamp set 
Rainbows & Unicorns is just perfect.
Many images and pretty sentiments to fill your card.

I have stamped the unicorn on a stitched square cut 
perfect colouring paper ( Copic paper from Europe ) 
with wicked black ink.

another text and stamped image will appear

you can continue to open it 

and open it ....

...here I have put the image and sentiments

 in the centre of the card and cut it in half 

in able not to show part of the images 

while it is folded in different stages 

let's continue to open it 

 last page...or ???

ohhh perhaps not 

You can continue "forever" , 
isn't this a fun birthday card!?
