Lots of Flowers

Tonight I'll show you another birthdaycard with one of Sherri Baldys My Besties images.

The card is made as a Center Step Card.

I may have gone a bit wild decorating it.
 I put together lots of roses, to make a kind of garland. It was real fun, and I think it looks quite nice.
Of course I had to put glitter on the roses!
Glitter is nice!
The charm attached to the bow has a painted rose on - but of course it turned around as I took the picture!
Below you can find a complete list of materials and colours used on this card, and more pictures, showing more of it.

Christmas in Kraft, Green, Brown and White

 This is one of the christmascards and -projects I've been working on the last week. 

The sketch for this card is from Sketchy Colers latest challenge. 

Seeing the sketch I knew I wanted to use it to make a card with some extra folds, for extra greetings :)

To open the card you have to untie the white ribbon, then it's just to start to open up and read (pictures below). The bottomflap has a magnetclosing too.

 I've used papers from Papirdesign and 3ndy Papir. The basecard and greetingpanels are Kraftcardstock.

All edges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.

The image is one of the new Magnolias I got for my birthday (I love Hjertebodens wishlist-function :D)

Tripping Tilda here is coloured with Pro- and FlexMarkers.

Behind Tilda I tucked in some cheesecloth.

The doily behind Tilda is made with a Nellie's Multiframes-die.

The Pearlstrings, swirls and poinsettia in the corner are all from Kort & Godt.

On the "bottom"fold I used Martha Stewarts Eyelet Lace punch (from a PATP-set).

The greetingpanels are made with a big scalloped punch fromMarvy Uchida.

The next two pictures show the card opened:

Fussy and Fancy Sketch Challenge

I've had some days off from work, and have tried a few new things here in my blog - I hope you like the new colours. I haven't dared to make it into a three-column-blog yet, but I've figured out a lot of new things here, so maybe one day... :s

For Fussy and Fancy Fridays Challenge # 44, A SKetch, I've made this bookcard.
I really hope you'll be inspired enough to join us on this challenge, hop on in there and see what the rest of the DT have made out of the sketch . . .
I used 200 and 250 g aquarellepapers for the book, then decorated it wit DPs from 3ndyPapir. All edges are very, very lightly distressed.
I used a stampimage from Magnolia which I, of course, coloured with ProMarkers.
I'm quite pleased with the colouring on this Tilda - I'm not sure if it shows properly here, but Tildas dress and hairband has a very soft greentone. (I've started to figure out how the Blender works :0)
The picture below shows the book from a different angle (easyer to see that it is a "book")...

I've used papers from 3ndyPapir on the inside too.
I've also made a tag that fits into the book.
The tag has the same kind of butterfly that I used on the outside, it's made with a Martha Stewart Punch.

Again; I hope you'll join in on the sketchchallenge at Fussy and Fancy Friday

Thank you! Bottlegifttag

I was working on a "Thank you"-project when a friend called and asked for a thank-you card, for a gift he'd bought. I put away my own project for this, much more exciting one ;)
The bottle in the picture is not the gift, it's just one of my own I used to take the picture :)

I've used papers from 3ndypapir. The fairy is from the net, I printed it and coloured it with ProMarkers, and put on a little glitter. Everything is distressed and embossed, I also used Glimmermist "randomly" around.

Closeup of the image. This also shows some of the Glimmermist and glitter better :)

Shabby Chic Summerbirthdaycard

I've made a summerbirthdaycard.

On this card I've only used designpapers from 3ndypapir. I think these papers are so soft and lovely - almost too beautiful to cut, tear and distress, like I've done here...

I've used a Magnoliaimage again - I love to try other stamps, both clear-, rubber- and digistamps, but I always seem to come back to these cuties...

Tilda is coloured with ProMarkers.

The flags are homemade :D

With the flowers I also used a few pearlstrings and some tiny beads.

Inside the card I used the same papers, ripping, tearing, distressing (DistressInk OldPaper) the same way as I did with the frontside panels. The "Happy Birthday"-text is embossed with coppercoloured embossingpowder. For the Labels I used a Spellbinderdie.

I used a little glitter on the wings and on Tildas bouquet.

(When I saw the picture, I thought the roses needed a little glitter, as well, but didn't take new photographs...)

I'll enter the following challenges with this card:

Just Magnolia - Anything goes with optional extra of shabby chic

Allsorts Challenge Blog - Free and Easy

Magnolia Down Under Challenge - Sketch

Totally Tilda Challenges - Distressing

Magnolia Stamp Lovers - Summer Flowers

MY first christmascard in May

Isn't this KennyK santagirl with a mistletoe just lovely - at least I think so...
The idea to this christmascard just popped into my head as soon as I saw the sketch from Sketchy Colors. I knew what image i needed (!) and how I would use the sketch immidiatly!
(I even knew who it'll be for - LOL)
I hope my next two christmascards this month for Hjertebodens Juleblogg will come just as easy to my head :)
So, as you may have figured, I'll join these challenges with my latest christmascard:

Sketchy Colors - Sketch
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Anything Goes
and of course I'll also send it to
Hjerteboden's Juleblogg

This time I'll try not to write so much, just let the pictures speak for themselves -I just have to mention that I've used a kind of floss-stuff for the furdetails, i think it made it kind of cute :)

I've started to open the card - you can see that the magnets are placed between double layered Fancy Tags.

Here the card is completely opened.

A close-up of the KennyK-image...

Material list:
Cardstock: Bazzill Bling
DP: 3ndypapir
Spellbinders Label Fours and Fancy Tags
Stamps: Image KennyK (digistamp), Text Kort og Godt
Colouring: ProMarkers, Glittergelpen (details)
Flowers, pearlstring, halfbeads
A kind of flossystuff on furdetails
Magnets

Trying shabby chic

I read an article in Anonyme Scrappere about Shabby Chic, and decided to try out this style - and this is how it turned out. Maybe a bit darker than I planned for it to be, but all in all I'm rather satisfied :)
Tilda has got paperpieced clothes and boots - I haven't tried that before either, but it was great fun! Took some time, but great fun...

This is the inside of the card, it was completely impossible to get the picture right in here!
WHY is it that it happens!!!
I used the same sketch (Just Mgnolia #103), as on the front of the card, but it shows better here.

I'd like to play along in these challenges with this card:
Anonyme Scrappere - Shabby Chic
Magnolia Stamp Lovers - Flowers
Totally Tilda Challenge #21 - Paper Piecing
Saturday Challenge - Pink, Cream and Brown
Just Magnolia #103 - Sketch

After posting this I'll try to get back to my desk to make another card in this style - not so brightcoloured as this one...
I'll keep on trying :)
