Table time with Alicia

Happy Tuesday everyone!

It's time for another Try it out Tuesday. This time Suzanne wants us to show something for our tables - it could be place setting cards, menus, favors, centerpieces......Well - it's all up to your imagination.

I decided to ink up one of my very first illustrations - Alicia. When I first drew her I only pictured her wearing red. Well - after having the Eskimo Kisses DPs - I've changed my mind. I think she look good in all colours :-) I hope you agree with me.

So for my project I decided to create a little something for a girly-party. So I stamped Alicia 3 times and coloured her in the Eskimo Kisses colours with my copics.

First of course I needed to make a little card for the party invitation. So here you have her.

I added 3d gloss on some parts of the images, Polar White flowersoft on her coat, smooch on her little lantern. Added ribbon from stash and the Eskimo Kisses buttons.

Then I made a tag/or a water bottle holder - the tutorial is from Angie Juda a long time ago. I did not have any chocolate at home to attach behind Alicia - but that's what you could do as an extra treat. I also punched out some snowflakes and added a Bella Bauble in the center.

This could then go as the place setting card - also a way to find out if the people you invite remember what their invitation card looked like...hihi...... (Also - so sorry for not having a nice bottle to place her on - I got to use one of hubby's beer bottles.....hm....not for little girls though.....)

As a small favor I created this little notepad. Used my coasters (that I've ordered from Angie Juda) and covered them with the DP, sanded the edges and then attached the ribbon, the post-it-notes, snowflake and Alicia. This is just a little something for the guest to bring with her home as a small memory of the party.

Well - I hope you like this and make sure that you check out the rest of the DTs creations.

Halloween challenge over at RoP/BnW

Happy Monday to you all! Hope you had a great weekend. We def. did.

We got to spend a lot of time outdoors in the crisp, fresh and cold Autumn air.

And yes - we even got the winter tires on - so we are ready for the snow ;-)

This time it's our supertalented Iris who has set the challenge over at our RoP/BnW site. We should create something for Halloween - card, invitation or treat bag . Well - I have always wanted to make one of these coaster boxes - and this time I decided to do one.

So I got my bind-it-all-machine out (it's collecting a lot of dust - don't know why, but....), my light-weight coasters that I got from Angie Juda. I covered the coasters with 4 x 4 of the Eerie DPs. Sanded the edges so that the DPs and the coasters became one ;-)

Punched the wholes with my bind-it-all, tied the 4 pieces together with ribbon from my stash. Glued the 5th coaster to the 4 sides and there I had the bottom of the box.

Coloured the image of Sitting Mimosa with my copics and cut her out. Wanted to show you that you can use a stamp that is not typical Halloween and still create the feeling of it - by using the DPs as the background scene. Added a couple of scary brads ;-) from Basic Grey.

I just put a little candle in the center - and then you can use it as the decoration for your Halloween party - or you can fill it with tons of candy. The choice is yours.

Well - hope you like it and want to play with us.

Kram and make sure that you check the rest of the DTs creations.

Time to put your skates on

Hej!

Time to display another of the cute images from the Victoria Case Winter release over at SCACD. This stamp is called SKATER.

Stamped her with Memento Rich Cocoa and coloured her with my copics. Had to use my Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses DPs of course ;-) Love, love, love them - as you already know...hihi..... Wanted to keep a rather clean layout. Added ribbon from stash, buttons from the Eskimo Kisses range.

Twirled some of the left overs from the DPs and attached under the bow and button on the corner. Then I needed to create some snowflakes for her - so I made small dots and sprinkled the Polar White Flower soft on them - hope you can tell.

Here's a close up of the cutie. I am sure you love her already - I know I do :-)

Kramis and happy shopping!

VC for SCACD Winter wonderland - blog hop

Welcome to the VC for SCACD Winter Wonderland blog hop - (can you say that in one go without breathing...hihi.....)

So today we are going to show you the supercute and wonderful new images from Victoria Case for SCACD. I must confess - I love them all :-)

If you have arrived from Jennifer's blog - then you are on the right track. If not - then you might want to start from the beginning - so that you don't miss any of the projects that are displayed. So as a reminder if you get lost - here's the blog hop order:

* Susan
* Danni
* Suzanne
* Lorelie
* Aud
* Jennifer
* Anki (me)
* Dianne
* Carolyn

We would like to show you anyting BUT a card. I got to display the supercute little Elf with heart - called Kringlet. So of course I thought of something to do for X-mas.

I decided to try to make a triangle box. Have never done one before - but after seeing my sweet friend Iris tutorial - then I had to give it a try. It's fun to make and you can adjust the size if you want to. Then it's up to you what you would like to fill it with. I am actually thinking of making several of these for Isac's teachers. It's a secret so don't tell anyone :-)

So here's the result! I stamped her with Memento Rich Cocoa. Coloured her with my copics. Added some stickles. Cut her out and two other ovals with my nesties. Punched out some snowflakes with my punch and sprinkled them with Polar White Flowersoft. Added buttons from the Eskimo Kisses range in the center. Ribbon from my stash. Sentiment from Prickiform -saying in Swedish: From us all to all of you - A Very Merry X-mas and Happy New Year!

Punched holes for the ribbon and added 2 eylets. Closed the box with a ribbon from my stash.See the below pic of the back of the box.

Hope you like it and now - hop over to Dianne's blog to see what she's been up to.

Turning 40

Happy Monday Everyone!

Hope you've had a great weekend. Ours was great - since Isac finally is back to normal. So we tried to spend a little time outdoors - had to get some air after being stuck in the house for several days.

I also managed to create this card for a friend of mine. She and her family was attending a b'day party for her brother-in-law. He turned 40! I keep saying it - but Charlie Bond is the perfect guy for cards to "older boys" (well - you all know this - they are still boys even if they turn 40...hihi.....) - don't you agree?
Wanted to keep a clean layout - as I tend to do these days. Used my DPs from SU. Chalked with pine cone around the edges. Coloured Charlie with my copics. Added a few buttons and blings + 40 cut out with my QK Eliza alphabet.


Even managed to do the inside of the card...*lol*. Not that often that happens due to lack of time. Sentiment from Aud Design.

Love reading your comments and so sorry if I have not been able to pop by your blogs. Hope that everyone will stay healthy this week - so that I can get some blog-hopping time.
