Flowers/ Nature @ I ❤️ ProMarkers


Good Morning from Røst.
It's day for a new challenge over at

I ❤️ ProMarkers

This week’s theme is Flowers/Nature
Our sponsors is


How you interpret this is completely up to you, as long as you make sure you follow the theme and you MUST use either ProMarkers, FlexMarkers, AquaMarkers or Trias on your work, if not you entry will be deleted.


I got the lovely image The Fairy and the Wizard from The Paper Shelter to play with, and decided to use it on a "paperbagcardholder". 
Of course the image is colored with ProMarkers - and the fairy's wings just had to have a layer of glitter on!
As the challenge is Flowers/ Nature I was about to go absolutely crazy in flowers on the bag, but after removing about 2/3 of the flowers and leaves before glueing them down this is what it ended like:




Inside the paperbag I put a card - for personal greetings...

...and with a pocket for some money

The pocket has velcro closing

The Fairy and the Wizard

Best Christmas Wishes


Hi again
I have christmas projects going on most of the year, but now as the days are shorter, the weather colder and nights are darker, I use most of my scrap room time working on christmas projects.
Oh, I love this time of the year!

- And I love making christmas cards, especially cards like this, kind of shabby chic/ vintage, full of dies and bling, ribbons and laces, twine, cheesecloth and Frantage and "splatted" with Gesso.
The DPs (that barely are showing) on this card are from MajaDesign.
Inside I used a textstamp from Papirdesign.
The image (Magnolia) is coloured with ProMarkers.

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:

Lace and/ or Ribbon @ I ❤️ ProMarkers


Good Morning to you all
I'm early up, trying my new washing machine, and it seems to work just perfect! Just using the spare machine the last couple of weeks has left a lot of clothes unwashed, and the laundry room in a terrible state. Whatever - being unable to do the laundry has just given me more time to make cards :)

Today we start a new challenge over at

Lace and/ or Ribbon

I used DPs from Papirdesign, lots of laces and ribbons. The image is colored with ProMarkers, and around it I sprinkled on a little Frantage (Shabby Green).

Sizzix Graceful Flourish Tag


Hi again.
I know I have showed you this die from Sizzix earlier, but I have to say it has become one of my favourite dies. I think it works so well with my shabby chic, vintage projects

Sizzix Thinlits Die Graceful Flourish by Pete Hughes

Here I have used it on a shabby chic tag.
The tag has an old christmas light holder glued on.
The light holder attaches the tag to the belt wrapped around the magazines.
This way the magazines don't make just a pile of clutter, but become a little decoration.
I hope you'll like it:
