Hi there friends and followers!
Today its my turn to showcase this weeks card in the Live and love crafts blog. I will be doing the same every sunday, Im hoping you will hop along on my journey together with Live and love crafts .
This week us ladies in the dt are creating something with christmas leftovers in mind. I have promised myself to make at least two christmas cards each month but Im not quit ready to start just yet cause Im still a bit tired of them ;) I made a valentines card that is actually for a very special friend in blogland that is celebrating her birthday in january. I have once again put my Silhouette Cameo to good use and this time I chose to make a tag pocket card. So fast and easy to fold! Im loving it!
So now I got you thinking: wheres the christmas leftover on this? Well, the dp´s are from Maja designs collection Its christmas time 12*12 and Ive used two sheets, the back of Santa and the tree and also The perfect gift. I think they are amazing because they are so versatile. Looking at them like this I bet you couldn't have guessed they were christmas leftovers, ha? ;) Here´s a closer look at the pocket itself:
The image is from Magnolias latest collection and I think she´s just adorable! She is colored with my di´s as usual, mostly using these ink pads: antique linen, tattered rose, vintage photo, weathered wood, pumice stone and walnut stain. The sentiment is also a Magnolia and reads With all my love. I love the amazing rhinestone lace, its available in three colors and I chose Heather pink. The shabby seam binding are also a new fav of mine. I added it to the MF tag and my own tag in ash rose and vanilla cream. Underneath the image I place a round doily, cheese cloth and a piece of jute fabric. The flowers are white poppies and a Hortensia Petal pink.
As you can see I have also stamped a love sentiment around the edges of the spellbinder and then embossed it with white embossing powder. Besides that I have also added some white pearl string around the same. You get a glance of the amazingly shabby bark heart here as well. You can see it even better here:
I wanted to make it look even more shabby and to do that I added some distress crackle paint in white.
The sentiment on the tag reads You are so sweet and is also a Magnolia. (it´s on sale, hurry up!! ;))
Look at that amazing vintage button! It was so up my ally ;) I have some more close up for you to look at if you'd like :) In this picture you can also glance an amazing metal decoration that I also added to the seam binding, the Prima velvet Trinkets.
Thanks for checking in with me today!
I´d be happy if you had the time to write me some words!
Lots of love

Morning sweetie, Wowzers a stunning creation, huggles Pops x x x
SvaraRaderaMy Dearest Shabby Chic Princess,
SvaraRaderaIt doesn't get shabbier than this!!! :-)
Love everything about this card, the beautiful muted colours, your colouring and all the details (are they really all from me? :-)). The bark heart looks amazing with the crackle paint added to it. I presume you got the template from the Silhouette store, I think it's one of those I have on my wishlist... Wishes do come true sometimes, don't they?! :-) ...and you're right, no one would have guessed the papers are from a Christmas collection. Outstanding work, Louise.
Thanks n' Hugz,
Sandy
Kära Louise!
SvaraRaderaÄr det något som jag är svag för så är det Magnolia motiv,vackra papper och dekorationer.
Och du träffar rätt i prick med detta vackra kort.
Hur ska man kunna motstå ett så fantastiskt vackert kort i shabby chic:)
Jag är helt tagen...otroligt snygga färger.
Du är fantastisk på att inspirera med dina vackra skapelser...
