Trick Or Treat | Cut-Out Shaker Card

Hi everyone! Today I have a cut-out shaker card for you, adding in the shaker component cut out of my front panel making it flush with everything else on the card. I’m filling my shaker with coloured accent images for a fun look.

Yesterday I went on a little shopping spree, I ended up buying way more stamps than I had anticipated, but it’s all good. I sent out a picture on instagram and asked which stamp to start with and @mommyeyedr said Costume Party. Which I thought was just perfect!

This card is for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, which is Something Old and Something New. I hope that it’s ok to use the Costume Party as my something new as it is new for me! For something old I used How You Bean, How you Bean Candy Corn Add-On and Booyah.

Hope you enjoy the video, if you like it please consider to share it with you friends, it means the world to me. Also if you want to be in deciding on which stamp sets I use, just follow me on instagram @craftybitcreations

2018 MFT Card Design Superstar: Innovation Master

For my third and final entry I have a really fun interactive card! I really love the way you can make a pull thing make something move in the opposite direction, it’s a simple mechanism but oh so gratifying.

So I decided to make sort of a peekaboo card, I have four different tabs that make four different animals peek out. I made you see them a little and then when you pull the tab they peek out a little more. So for this card I have two cards, one showing the tab closed and one showing them out.

Hope you enjoy my entry to the Innovation Master Superstar Competition.

2018 MFT Card Designer Superstar: Coloring Virtuoso

This was where it started, I love coloring and color and if there was one of these challenges I wanted to join in with it was the coloring challenge. There was many cards before this, I had it in my mind that I should color with pencils (which I’m not as used to as Copics) and on top of that on craft.

Well I loved the result but it didn’t pop as I wanted, but I got to cards for later use out of it.

So to this card, I just love the Delightful Dinosaurs and my absolut favorite dies are the Wild Greenery, and I thought they would work awesomly together. So here is my Coloring Virtuoso entry!

2018 MFT Card Designer Superstar: Clean & Simple Genious

Last year I missed the Superstar competition for My Favorite Things, this year I’m fighting against health issues. But I knew I just needed to join in, so I started the day they announced and worked into the last hours. I made loads of cards which I discarded but I did end up with one card for each part.

This is for the Clean & Simple Genious, and I just had to go for coffee!

Venora the Royal

Hi Everyone!

Marika here with another card, and today’s card is a continuation of the card I posted here 2 weeks ago. Do you like me find digital stamps that you really love but you would love even more if you just could replace on part, on accessory? Well you can! This is sounding way to much like a commercial but it’s true!

At Make It Crafty you can find loads of digital stamps and some of them has like Alwina the Good Witch from the previous card post accessories that you can add to the main image. When Alwina was released there where a couple of other stamps that also was released with the same possibility. And by the way if you aren’t a fan of halloweeny images or just want some more summery images, there was also a release with summer babes in bikinis that also have a bunch of accessories. But back to the card at hand.

The image I’m using today is Venora the Wizard, she is the sister of Alwina and Esmeralda which all three got some extra accessories, that you get if you buy the images. The first time I saw Venora I thought that her clothing was very reminiscent of old Swedish Kings, so this time around I wanted to make her a royal too. So instead of adding her accessories, which is a wizards hat, a gnarly looking staff and a cape, I gave her the spire and crown from Alwina, and a Royal Venora was born.

As I wanted to keep as much of the previous cards aesthetics I dug up a pattern paper that had the same pattering as from the previous card but in a different color (I was just very lucky that I found it). However when adding the character to the card I felt it left to much white space, but I fixed that by stamping my sentiments all over that side of the card and the card felt much more even. If you want to know more about that or see how I colored Venora you can look at the videos below.

Stamping Slalom

Hi Everyone!

MFT is having a Craft OS Week and I decided to join in, sadly it is ending soon and I don’t know if I will have time to join in with every challenge, but I thought I would try a couple. To start out I’m joining in with the Stamping Slalom.

Here we are supposed to create a card that uses at least 3 MFT stampsets. I ended up using 5 but that was just because I got an idea and just had to try it. The stamps and products are listed under supplies.

Day 14 – Coloring Challenge – Pink Sparkling Car

Hi everyone!

I was never a pink girl, until I when I was in my early 30s decided that I wanted to see how I looked in pink hair. I’m now completely crazy about everything pink, even tho teal has started to take over a little bit. But if I ever got a car of my own I think I would want it to be pink, maybe even sparkly! So bear number two got a pink sparkling car.

As you might have noticed I’m almost a week behind on uploading, but I have been coloring and will try to upload all the videos in the next couple of days.

Copic:
N0, N2, N4, N8, N10, 100, Y00, Y11, E50, E51, E53, E55, E57, E59, E57, E59, E49, RV21, RV23, RV25, R00, R12

Youtube Partnership Changes – Why, What, How?

Hi Everyone!

I’ve seen a bunch of call to arms to help save craft-channels from loosing their youtube partnership in the last couple of days and I thought I would make a post/video about what is happening, why it’s happening and what it entails.

First of all I want to thank all of you who are watching my content and commenting, liking and subscribing. Everyone of you means the world to me and I can’t thank you enough. I am not loosing my partnership but I thought I would talk a little bit about why youtube is doing this and what it really entails as there are many misconceptions around it. I’m better with the spoken word than the written so if you are interested about this you can watch the video below. Again thank you all for being here, I love you all!

30 Day Coloring Challenge – Tips & Tricks

Hi Everyone!

The 30 Day Coloring Challenge starts today! Kathy from The Daily Marker started this a couple of years ago and this is the 9th one she is hosting. It’s a wonderful challenge just to make you take a little time everyday to color.

I have joined in with every one of them, but it wasn’t until this last one (nr 8th) that I finally was able to finish it completely. You don’t have to do it daily to join in, but if you are like me and like a challenge here are some tips and tricks on how I was able to finish it.

1. Go small

I choose 30 images that was small enough to be finished in 10-15 min. I personally have a hard time to share half done images, there is nothing wrong with sharing half done images is that I personally want to share fully coloured images. So this helped a lot.

2. Choose a theme

Last time I chose Halloween as a theme to help me narrow down my stamp choices, this time around my theme is recently acquired stamps from MFT. Narrowing down the theme ahead of time saves you time for choosing the images and leaves more time to color.

3. Use a comfort medium

I’ve chosen to only do my challenge colouring with copic alcohol markers. This removes a lot of the pressure that I can feel when it comes to color choices and how to use them, copic being one of those mediums that I worked with a lot and is comfortable with. So choose the medium that you are most comfortable with.

4. Have fun and don’t stress about it!

But my biggest tip is have fun and don’t stress about it, it is a challenge, a challenge to take that me time everyday and do something that calms you and makes you happy!
