Background Basics...

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! I had and it is so nice to be at home (in Poland) and enjoying the season with family.

I’m popping in today to share two cards for A Passion for Papertrey blog. Yesterday has started a new challenge. The challenge is all about background stamping. We'd love for you to play along with us and design a card using a background set into your project. A great stamp set is up for grabs to one lucky winner as well!

Here are my samples, both inspired by the Moxie Fab World Glitter Is Glam Challenge. As I've mentioned before I'm addicted to glitter! I made them using a stamp from Guide Lines set. The sentiment comes from Blooming Button Bits set. Both are super quick and easy to make!

Thank you for stopping by!

Merry Christmas!

Just wanted to pop in with one of the latest Christmas cards (this one is made for A Passion for Papertery blog) to wish you all a Merry Christmas!

May your Christmas be Merry and Bright, full of Love and Joy!

Sending warm hugs from full of snow Poland!

Pretty Pearls Challenge

Today starts a new challenge at A Passion for Papertrey Blog. It’s all about pretty pearls, and here is my sample:

I've always been a fan of red berries on Christmas cards. There's something so pretty about them. To create my card I used the leaves from the Blooming Button Bits set with white embossing powder and red pearls. Don't they look cute together? I also added a baker's twine, printed sentiment and a piece of red punched border.

Be sure to check out A Passion for Papertrey Blog to see the rest of gorgeous cards, as well as all the details. I hope you'll get a chance to play along! It’s fun but there is also a great prize to win!

Thank you for stopping by!

Let it snow!

Hope you are having a nice weekend! I’m just popping in to show my first DT card for My Cute Stamps. My stamps came through the post today and I simply couldn't resist trying them straight away!

I used the snowflakes and sentiment from Let it Snow set, with red embossing powder. Some time ago I was searching the internet for some nice ice skates pattern and I found this great template by Melyssa Connolly.
It’s also my second card for the Moxie Fab World Challenge: Glitter Is Glam. I'm totally addicted to glitter!

Holiday Season

I finally started my holiday season. Well, as they say, better late than never.I have no chance to take a picture of every single card, but I’ll try to share at least some of them.

Today’s card is inspired by two challenges. The colour inspiration came from beautiful photo from Jay Gee's Nook challenge #2. Btw, it’s one of my favourites Christmas colour combos.

I was also inspired by the Everything But the Kitchen Sink Challenge, which was to create a card with a texture. I love when cards look delicate and a little bit rough at the same time, so I used a red distress embossing powder for my background, lots of glitter and a piece of twine:

ETA: It is also my entry to the latest Moxie Fab World Challenge: Glitter Is Glam (what a great coincidence!)

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy December

It’s December already, can you believe it?! Time flies so fast! It’s not the best time of year for me, too busy and too cold, but this year December has began just great! A few days ago I’ve received an email from Holy from My Cute Stamps with amazing news. I was chosen to be on the My Cute Stamps design team! I’m so delighted and can’t wait to get started!

I am also very honoured to be featured stamper over at A Passion For Papertrey blog this month! Thank you Aimes, Kate and Caryn for this honour!

I'm so happy that I nearly forgot (again) about my today’s card. I’ve made it a while ago for my friend and I totally forgot about it until I saw Congratulations Challenge in the Moxie Fab World:

Quick and simply card with a little bit of pink glimmer mist and stamp by Tattered Angels.

Thank you for stopping by and Happy December!

Back on track

I haven’t been able to create anything lately. It’s really dark and miserable outside and for the last week or so I’ve been struck down with flu. I’m feeling much better but still very weak. I have a lot of catching up to do and the days are so short…

However, I'm happy to be back (slowly) on track again and I just found out that I’m one of three October Gallery Challenge winners over at Paper Crafts Connection. I am super delighted!

My latest card is inspired by this months' Hero Arts challenge:

It’s a slight variation on card I made a few months ago (you can see it HERE), as I needed quick birthday card ;)

Thank you for stopping by and stay warm!
