These cards are inspired by two challenges: -"Framed" by Poppystamps http://poppystamps.typepad.com/poppystamps/challenge/ -"Sparkle and shine" by Simon says stamp http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/ I used the "chinese lanterns" dies by poppystamps for this card.

This is my second entry to the Simon says stamp "Mythology/Inspired by a story" challenge http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=12386

This week's Simon says stamp Monday challenge has such a fantastic theme, "Mythology/inspired by a story", I had to find a contribution and i had several ideas. This is the first (and I hope not the last) one I've realised for this challenge. http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=12386 It's featuring the title and a page from Agatha Christie's "The secret adversary" Only drawback: To who can you give a card with that title? I also created the illusion on glass for the reading glass.

For this one I tried to combine a few challenges and use my newly acquired bees: http://poppystamps.typepad.com/poppystamps/challenge/    "Framed" http://davebrethauer.typepad.com/outsidethebox/challenge/ "Floral" h ttp://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?cat=1 "A trio of something" http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/ http://diesruschallenge.blogspot.no/ "Anything goes" (both challenges) I used the following dies: Memory box stitched hexagons https://www.123stitch.com/item/Memory-Box-Stitched-Hexagon-Layers-Die/MBOX-30076 Cuttlebug Anna Griffin flower vine Faeries: http://www.poppystamps.com/1841-Magnificent-Mini-Faeries-craft-die_p_950.html

This one was inspired by the "Roadtrip" Simon says stamp Monday challenge. http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=11899 I'm sacrificing and old Agatha Christie paperback for it. I'm not sure yet whether this one will become a card or a book mark.

This card is my contribution to the "Floral Frenzy" challenge on the Simon says stamp Wednesday blog. http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/ I used paper napkins in the background and I folded paper circles for the flowers.

This card is inspired by the "girl power" chalenge on the Simon says stamp wednesday blog. http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-girl-power/ I used gift paper for creating this one. I imagine the lady on the picture to be a writer or poet, therefore the written background.

I created this one for the " make your own background" challenge on Simon says stamp. http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge I made my own marbled paper and used simple food paper as a mobile background that lets the ballerina spin. I aso used the following dies: https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/nestabilities-heart-home-oval-floral-etched-dies/ https://www.sizzix.com/661182/sizzix-thinlits-die-set-4pk-detailed-butterflies And the ballerina is of an unknown brand.

This card was created for the "Grunge it up" challenge on the Simon says stamp Monday blog. I don't know which dies I used as i got them second hand.

Harry Potter's first true home. Also featuring the Durmstrang home during the triwizard tournament. This is a card I made with my own handmade embossing stencil and a spelbinders oval dies https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/nestabilities-heart-home-oval-floral-etched-dies/ The card didn't turn out quite perfect, but I'm entering it in the "cosy home" challeng by daring cardmakers anyway. http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.no/

This card was created for several challenges that have the topic love/hearts. Poppystamps:  http://poppystamps.typepad.com/poppystamps/2018/02/psc41-my-heart.html Memory box:  http://davebrethauer.typepad.com/outsidethebox/challenge/ Simon says stamp Monday challenge:  http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=11576 Simon says stamp wednesday challenge:  http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/ Dies R us:  http://diesruschallenge.blogspot.no/ I used Neocolor crayons for colouring and the following dies: Poppystamps Capri heart http://www.poppystamps.com/1697-Capri-Heart-craft-die_p_785.html Memory box Ocean corner http://www.memoryboxco.com/99144-Oceana-Corner-craft-dies_p_516.html Spellbinders deckled rectangles http://www.memoryboxco.com/99144-Oceana-Corner-craft-dies_p_516.html

For this card I used stamps in the background (swirls or text). The oval frame is made from a paper napkin glued on some paper to make it easier to work with. And on top I used the Detailed Butterflies dies by Tim Holtz. https://www.scrapbook.com/store/sz-661182.html This card is posted in the "garden" mixed media challenge by happy little stampers: http://www.happylittlestampers.com/search/label/Mixed%20Media%20Challenge

This tag was created for the Simon says "tag it" and "layer it up" challenges http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/ http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/ Dies used: Poppystamps Celeste Snowflake http://www.poppystamps.com/1860-Celeste-Snowflakes-craft-die_p_974.htmlhttp://www.poppystamps.com/1866-Celeste-Snowflakes-Outlines-craft-die_p_980.html

I've created this card for the Poppystamps "Snow day" challenge, using also the negative spaces to expand the snowflake. http://poppystamps.typepad.com/poppystamps/challenge/ Variation: With the outline on top: Dies used: Poppystamps Celeste Snowflake http://www.poppystamps.com/1860-Celeste-Snowflakes-craft-die_p_974.html http://www.poppystamps.com/1866-Celeste-Snowflakes-Outlines-craft-die_p_980.html

This card is inspired by the "Kids Kard" challenge by Dies r Us http://diesruschallenge.blogspot.no/ As I did the colouring with water soluble Neocolor (using them as water colours) I can also post it in the water colour challenge by Happy Little Stampers. http://www.happylittlestampers.com/2018/01/hls-january-watercolour-challenge.html The idea is to show the end of the story, when the boat floats in the sky. But I also added some sea elements just for fun. I used the following dies:  "life is a journey"  by joy! crafts "Under the sea collage" by Memory box "From the sea" by Cuttlebug "Watch faces" and "Ribbon banners" by Spellbinders Shapeabilities  And I coloured it with Neocolor water soluble and metallic crayons.

So, if somebody comments and knows how to do it, some instructions would be very welcome.
