Anything Goes at I ❤️ ProMarkers

Good Morning!

I´m here to show you what I made to inspire you to join the

Anything Goes Challenge

at

I ❤️ ProMarkers

Our sponsor for this challenge is

 Stitchy Bear Stamps

-that´s also where my snowmanimage is from

A little while ago I bought the turquoise ribbon, and just have had it on the desk without finding any use for it - I guess you all have things like that :) 

So, for this challenge I decided I´d use that ribbon, and let it very much decide both the colourscheme and the theme on the gifttag.

I used one of the small sized Kraftpaperbags, Kraft- and Whitecoloured cardstock - I like the brownish kraftcolour with turquoise and white…

I used several snowflakedies and snowflakepunches to decorate it - and if you look closely underneath the bow you can see a snowflakecharm too. 

The papersnowflakes (well, actually they´re made out of cardstock) are glittered 

- yuhuu, it´s the glittery-time of the year!

For this chellenge I made another gifttag. Unfortunately the camera isn´t working as it should, so I couldn´t get any photos of the insidetag or the back of the pocket (it must be the camera - can´t be the photografer…), but all sides are kept in the same style and colours as the front.

ProMarkers used to colour the image:

Broom:Walnut, Tan, Sandstone, Primrose, Ivory, Honeycomb 

Snowman: Cool Aqua, Duck Egg, Mango, Honeycomb, Warm Grey 1 and 5, 

Blender

Christmas Bling at Fashionista Magnolia and More

 I´m back with my card for the 3rd and final week to enter 

the 

CHRISTMAS BLING 

challenge

over at 

Fashionista Magnolia and More Challenge

I have used two of my newest Magnolia-images - aren´t they cuuute!!!

I´ve coloured with DistressInks and a little Glitterstickles, and sprinkled a little Chunky White Embossing Enamel around the image.

All paperedges are lightly inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.

As the challengetheme is BLING, I really let myself go a little wild in different embellishments;

here are several different dies used, cheesecloth, rhinestones and blingstones, a beautiful snowflake-charm, a seambindingribbonbow, lace, pompomribbon, tags and twine

To keep the easelcard standing upright I attached a row of rhinestones:

The insidepanel with place to write a personal greeting can «swing out»…

…and you´ll find a stamped christmasgreeting underneath it…

…when you swing the greetingpanel you´ll find another panel to write a personal message:

There´s also a tag tucked underneath one of the frontside panels

(unfortunately I haven´t taken pictures to show the back of the tag, where there´s a teenytiny christmasbell - it gives such a wonderful little sound when you pull out the tag…)

When the card is completely opened yoy can find another stamped greeting - with some rhinestones around:

Remember; for this challenge you HAVE to use a NO-NOSE Image

So make sure your project follow both the months theme and also the «no-nose»-theme.

No Patterned Papers at My Besties

 Good Monday Morning everyone.

I´m here with a quick post to share my DT-entry for the new challenge at

My Besties

This week we have a rather hard challenge for you

It´s 

No Patterned Papers

As christmas is coming closer I found I need many, many more gifttags, so I decided to make one for this challenge, as well.

I feel I´m a little bit on the edge with my entry, as I´ve patterns on the cardstock - but at least it´s not DPs ;)

I´ve used Kraft- and Light blue Cardstock from Bazzill. I embossed the cardstocks with two different snowflake embossingfolders. Then I gently swiped over the embossing with DistressInk (WalnutStain).

Then I put together the cardstock, lace, ribbon, a few «berries», two snowflakes (one punched and one diecutted) and a seambindingribbonbow with a snowflakecharm on a precut tag.

I put an eyelet into the hole and tied a piece of twine to it, then I put on some tiny Liquid Pearls          - quite easy…

The image is coloured with ProMarkers - and a little Glitterstickles :)

On the back of the tag I stamped «To - From»:

Wedding or Anniversary at I ❤️ ProMarkers

Good morning from a snowcovered Røst 

I´m here with an inspirationcard for 

I ❤️ ProMarkers 

new challenge

Wedding or Anniversary

I chose the Anniversary-part, and made a Birthdaycard for a man.

I think mens cards are sooo difficult to make! 

  What is the right way to embellish a card for a man??? I feel I can´t use too much ribbons, laces, blings, glitter and all those stashy stuff I normally do, so most of my mens cards are in the category Clean and Simple…

For this card I used a digi called Birthdayboy from Stitchy Bear 

All DPs are from 7Gypsies. 

The inside of the card:

ProMarkers used to colour the image:

Skin: Ivory Dusky Pink, Tan

Burgundy, Crimson 

Cocoa, Tan

Pear Green, Gold

Warm Grey 1

Blender

I´ll enter my Mans Birthdaycard into these challenges:

Colour Combo of Red and Green at I ❤️ ProMarkers

 Good Morning, and welcome to my entry for

I ❤️ ProMarkers

new challenge.

This weeks challenge is a 

Colour Combo Challenge, the colours we want to see is

RED and Green

Isn´t that perfect colours for a christmasproject???

To me these two colours are the ultimate christmascolours!

I chose to make another giftbagthing, this time for a bag of chocolates (Twist)

-it is so easy to make! 

I used some really, really old papers. Some of those I´ve had laying around for years, been looking at once in a while and wondered what on earth will I use them for - and why did I ever buy them??? Now I´m quite happy I did, and that I hadn´t thrown them away. I think they were just perfect for this project!

The little bow is made from a little ribbonpiece that was in the category «too long to throw, but I 

don´t know what to use it for» (I have a big box of those…)

On topp of the giftbag I used a Spellbindersdies to cut a hole, to put the top of the chocolatebag through. Then I tied a big, red bow onto it, and - finished 😊

The image is from The Paper Shelter, and called «An Unexpected Meeting». Of course it´s coloured with ProMarkers (list below the picture). Around the image I sprinkled on some Chunky White Embossing Enamel, an a little Shabby Green Embossing Enamel.

Edges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.

Here´s a closeup of the finished image:

ProMarkers used to colour the image:

Skin: Ivory, Dusky Pink, Tan, Blush, Sunkissed Pink

Santa´s clothes: Burgundy, Poppy, Warm Grey 1, 3, 5

Girls clothes: Pine, Pear Green

Hair: Cocoa, Tan, Buttercup

Bear: Tan, Sandstone, Blossom (nose)

Apricot, Tan, Walnut

Stitching at Ooh La La

Hi again, fellow crafters.

Sorry I´m late showing my creation for 

Ooh La La Creations Challenges

The next fortnights theme is

Stitching - Real or Faux

My stitches are real, I dusted off the sewing machine for this project. All panels are inked, then sewn together.

The image and papers are from the Christmas Angel file on the Yuletide Wishes CD

(Yes I know, it isn´t new of the year, but I still love the beautiful images and papers on it!)

You can find this and many more in the online shop

I couldn´t resist to put on a little glitter on the wings… and a little on the angels clothes…

Around the image I put on teeny-tiny dot of Liquid Pearls and a little aged wine embossing powder.

I also used som lace, seambindingribbon, pearlstrings, flowers and leaves (Martha Stewart punch).

I tied a little button onto the bow, and put a pin through it (a homemade pin!)

To the handle I tied a little tag made with the same image as on the bag, on the back of it I can write To/ From, or a little greeting.

I hope you like my christmasgiftbag, and that you´ll visit

Bling at Storyteller

Hello again.
Here´s my second sundaypost
Now with a card for the new challenge at
Storyteller
This challengetheme is
Bling
I have made a traditional shaped and folded card for this challenge.
In style I moved a bit out of my comfortzone. I have made steampunk cards before, but not many of them - I guess I just don´t think of this style when I start making my cards.

The image here is Kenny K´s Inspector Em (one of my favourite Kenny K´s).
Other things used are:
Designpaper: Storyteller
Dies: Spellbinders
Embossingfolders: Sizzix, Darice
Pearls and bling: Storyteller
DistressInk Black Soot
Lace
Stampendous Aged Silver Embossing Enamel
Aren´t those screwheadbrads just perfect for the steampunkstyle?!?
The frontside greeting is made with my old DYMO-writer
The inside stamptext is from Norsk Stempelblad

The inside is decorated to match the front:

On the back I put down the 4th square of the DP, both to use the leftoverpart, and to show the beautiful paper better than on the other sides…

I´ll enter the card into these challenges:

Good morning crafters!
Today is a twopost-day in my blog 😊
This first post is to invite and inspire you to the brand new challenge at
My Besties Norge
This challenge is called
Snowflakes or Glitter
I love snowflakes and glitter, so I used both, but you don´t have to do that - one is enough


I made my card as a pocketcard, with the tag inside decorated in an almost similar way as the front and back of the pocket.
The image is Sherri Baldys Penny Penguin, coloured with ProMarkers. The dots on the dress are «coloured» with Liquid Pearls. Around the image, for a snoweffect, I used Chunky White Embossing Enamel.

The stamped greetings in- and outside and on the tags are from Kort & Godt and Storyteller.
The snowflakes are Sizzix and Magnolia (dies) and Tonic (punch), with lots of glitter on
💖 - LOVE glitter!

The next pictures show the different sides of the tag and pocket - hope you´ll like it
