Happy Fathersday!!

Fathersday is near, and I like to show one Fathersday -card to you. This card is with finnish-text, but you can use AI´s texts, for example "DAD" here , another "DAD" here, "Happy Fathersday" here, another "Happy Fathersday" here. I have used Harv in this card, but  Oscar is very great choice to Fathersday -card, too:)

Have a GREAT weekend!!!

Let Me Introduce You to...POP UP PANSY!!!

How many of you know THIS golden oldie??? Well, let me introduce Pansy...Pop Up Pansy!

She is so fun to make and so fun to send! The best part is ... she will fit into an A2 size envelope!

I paper pieced the box and bow and then the rest I colored with copics. She pops up to stand on someones table and she folds flat to send.

here is another view so that you can see that she is 3D!

I seriously made this card in like 10 minutes...how cool is that! When you are in a hurry... you can still make and send a card that really WOWs! Thanks so much for popping in and have a great day!

and get ovet to the Art Impressions store and pick up a Pansy for yourself!

Holiday greetings!!

We have soooo gorgeous weather here in Finland, sun is shining and water is warm, and our children are happy when we go to the beach:)
 This stamp, Mrs.Ed, is one of my favourite Golden Olden-stamp (I think they all are my favourite.. :), and I think it´ll even better when you use little Glossy accents on it:)
Text you can find here.

Have a wonderful weekend!!
