Confirmationcard wtih Magnolia Image

Hi again.
Between most christmas- and birthdayprojects I thought I'd show a confirmation card I made a while ago. This one has the shabby chic, fully loaded style that I like so much. I think Magnolia images are just perfect for this style. The image is coloured with ProMarkers. Around it I sprinkled on some Frantage. DPs used are from Papirdesign, and the cardstocks are from Bazzill.
I used several dies, a MS Punch, lace, cheesecloth, seambindingribbon, twine, charms, a button, halfpearls and pearlstrings. The flowers are dipped in frantage (then heated to fasten the stuff). All paperedges are inked With DistressInk WalnutStain.
Inside the card I stamped on a poem and made a Pocket for either a giftcard or some Money.

Vintage Confirmation

Confirmation - this time of year again. And this year I had a confirmand myself.
May 15th was my daughter, Heddas, confirmation.

I love making card for confirmations, especially girls confirmations.
I've tried to make this in a vintage, shabby-like style. I've used laces, frantage, cheesecloth, seambindingribbon, a flower and a ribbon with printed confirmation text. I mounted the image on to a panel made with a die I think is from Spellbinders.
As base for the card I used Bazzill Kraft cardstock, finished size is 4"X6".

The inside is folded to make pocket for a gift card (or money) inside:

Confirmationcard with Magnolia

Hi again
I'm here to show you one of this years confirmation cards.
This one for a girl (obvious...), with one of my dear Magnolia images.
It's coloured with ProMarkers.
DPs on the card are from Magnolia and Papirdesign. All Die Cuts are cut out in white Bazzill cardstock. All paper- and cardstock edges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.
To decorate the card I've used most of all those lovely embellishments I love; Flowers, Cheesecloth, pearls and pearlstrings, ribbons, Laces, Twines, Buttons and Charms. And Frantage. I put on Frantage both around the image and on the flowers.

Behind the image there's place for a little tag (Magnolia DooHickey) with a little greeting on.
Well, enough talk, here's the card:

Inside the card there's a stamped greeting and a pocket sized for either a giftcard, some money or a card with a more personal greeting:

I am SO sorry I’m so late with my card for Inky Chicks, not being at home, busy days, and having an internet access that is very to and from, writing a blogpost is NOT easy. AND - having left my USB stick at home I felt in real trouble. But now I’m home, sitting by my own computer, in my own crafting room - that’s what I call good times :)

Well - over to this weeks challenge over at

My card for Inky Chicks this week is a Magic Card, a Shabby Chic, Romantic Magic Card, for a confirmand. All embellishments are in white, with a little touch of silver and gold.

The image is found on the internet, and again I've used a Spellbinderdie to frame it. Both the frame and the flowers are sprinkled with Frantage Shabby White Embossing Enamel. 

My metal embellishment is the heartcharm - I think an heartcharm works 

I used a Martha Stewart PATP-set (Eyelet Lace) to make the greetingpanels inside the card. On the edges of the card I used the Martha Stewart Doily Lace Edge Punch. The stamped greeting on the inside is from Papirdesign

Vintage Confirmationcard for a Boy

Hi again, fellow Crafters.

I have made a vintage boyscard. 

For a while I have wondered if it could be done; as I don’t think I can have too much flowers and laces and other stashy, yummi nice things on a male card…

So i found my things - 

Papers from Papirdesign, 

the image is also from Papirdesign, 

dies from Spellbinders, 

Frantage Shabby White Embossing Enamel, 

Goldcoloured Embossingpowder, 

Pearls and stash to make a pin, 

Textstamps from Papirdesign and Kort & Godt, 

Ribbon with textprint, 

and of course DistressInk WalnutStain 

- and decided to have a try

This is how it turned out:

The inside is rather Clean and Simple, with a fold to put in either money or a giftcard:

On the back I stamped a greeting, and embossed it with Goldcoloured embossinpowder

I hope you like my Vintage Male Card.

I’ll join these challenges with it:

Vintage style with distressed papers from Pion, Kraft cardstock and laces. The flowers and the image have got a sprinkle with Stampendous Frantage Shabby White Embossing Enamel. I’ve also put on some pearlstrings and halfpearls.
