Moikka moi! It's a special week again! Firstly, there's a live coming this weekend and secondly, there's only two posts. Wednesday is Finland's Independence day so I'm spending the day with loved ones and skipped that day with a post. So it's this announcement post and then the Friday process video post.
But back to the live announcement! Like I said in November, I'm doing it a bit differently as it's the Holiday season creeping in. I'm going to create an art journaling spread, but I still don't have any idea what I'm doing. I thought that it would be fun to see, just going for it, no planning. Of course, when I'm picking the materials on Saturday I will do some planning so I don't have to run back and forth, but still try to be as spontaneous as possible!
So bring your own gingerbreads and maybe a hot beverage of your choice and let's craft and chat together!

Merry December! It's the first of December and also the first video of December! For this one I'm making some Holiday greetings using stamping, gel printing and coloring.

More about that tomorrow, let's now get back to the video. I say in the beginning that these are easy cards, but then there's a lot of steps, which may lead you to think that they are hard. But really, these are super easy, just time-consuming if you're coloring the image. On the other hand, if you are not, you can make a huge set in no time!
If you wish to see how I made these cards, please see the video below.
As you could see from the video, I stuck with the traditional Holiday colors for these - red, green and white. But I used different shades of green and red to give them a bit more interest. Also what you could see from the video or from the pictures below, the gel prints aren't perfect, but that didn't bother me. Especially with the round ones it makes the shape look like it's glowing or a bit snow covered!
Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you a perfect start to the new month and a fine weekend!
PS. On December I made all the videos with voice-overs as that seemed to be the option most of you were liking better at the time I was making these!

Hello there and happy new week! Last week was a bit different with the posting schedule and this week is no different for the same reason. You can still enter to the giveaway on my Instagram (link).
But today I have something more wintery to share. Here's a set of cards I created for A.B.Studio and surprisingly - I didn't mix collections in these! All the elements are from the same "Merry Christmas" collection, I only threw a stencil in to add a bit of snowy pattern to the background.
Which one of the three is your favorite? I really can't pick a favorite of these!
Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you a pleasant week! It's soon December!
Moikka moi! It's Friday today and that means a new process video! This time it's some Paper Garden goodies in action and I'm making some winter cards with them!
As you can see from the video below, I mix different printables in these cards. I also use mediums to add some interest to the background, but the main point of the cards are the little skiers. I received them some years ago from a friend, who knew my love for vintage photos. The little skier in the photos is actually her husband and they are cut from invitations to celebrate his birthday! I still have some left and will eventually turn them to projects as well. I really, really love the look of the determined little boy!
I hope you liked the video! If you did, please consider subscribing my YouTube channel and hit that bell sign to be notified when a new video comes live - that should be each Friday with some exceptions!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have a great weekend! Remember to participate to the giveaway on my Instagram!
