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:

Shabby Chic @ My Besties Norge

Good Morning to you all.
For todays post I’ve tried to make a Shabby Chic styled card for the new challenge at
My Besties Norge

Shabby Chic
is the theme for the next challenge.
I hope you like it, and that you’ll join us for this one.

I’ve used the beautiful image called Snow girl from Sherri Baldys My Besties

You can find this, and all the other of Sherris images in her shops:
Sherri’s Etsy Store
Scrapbook Stamp Society
My Besties Store
I used lots if dies on this card - I love dies, especially snowflakedies, and the poinsettia I think is my all time favourite!
Around the image I used a little frantage. The paperedges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain. The ribbonbow is made of seambindingribbon and has a little snowflakecharm attached. I made the pin myself.

Front-, Back- and insides of the card. The inside has a stamped greeting from Papirdesign.

Things With Wings @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

 Good Wednesday Morning

And it seems as it can be a wonderful Wednesdayday at Røst. Yesterday, even earlier this morning, the fog was laying thick, thick, thick over the island, but now it's almost gone. The sun is shining, the wind has calmed (not completely calm, though), and the temperature is rising - lovely!

Well, I didn't come here to write a weather report...

It's time for a new challenge over at

I ❤️ ProMarkers

This weeks theme is

For my card I've used the lovely Angelica In Flight digi from Make it Crafty.

Of course I've used my ProMarkers to colour the image.

You'll find the Colour- and Materiallists further down in the post.

My card is in what I like to call a kind of "shabby-vintage" style...

The paperedges are very lightly distressed before I inked them with DistressInk WalnutStain. 

The flowers were white, but I gave them a little inkbrush as well, then a little glittertouch - love a little glitter...

The imagepanel is attached to the card with 3D-tape, so there's place to tuck a little tag underneath it:

Another Vintage ConfirmationCard

Happy Easter,
all crafters out there.
I’m using these days off to catch up on some confirmationcards, but I’m working sooo slow!
I’ve told you before, I’m one of those cardmakers that can sit for hours to decide where to put a flower, or which ribbons or laces to use…
But I’m having a really good time sitting with my stash 😊

Here’s one of the confirmationcards I’ve made.
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.
The goldembossed greeting on front is made with a stamp from Kort & Godt.

The insidetext is a stamp from Papirdesign

Vintage Confirmationcard

Good Morning To You All!

Fantastis Saturday, having the weekend off from work, 

I hope to spend many hours in my craftroom - love the thought of it; crafting - coffee, looking through your blogs, coffee, youtubevideos of cardmakingtips, more coffee, maybe a little blogging - just a couple of happydays 😍

Today I want to show you another confirmationcard I’ve just made.

I’m gonna need lots of confirmationscards this year, and I still haven’t started on the boys cards yet! Feeling a little panic! 

On this card I used a digital image from a sheet I won from Scribble and Scrap a little while ago.

The papers are from Pion - love this purplepink shade!

To decorate it I’ve used a little lace, a perlstring, some flowers, leaves and halfpearls - and a couple of dies. The swirldie is from MarianneDesign, I don’t know where the one I used for the textpanel is from. The textstamp is from Kort & Godt.

On the inside I used a textstamp from Papirdesign and a swirlstamp from Inkadinkado.

Here’s the card, from different angles:

Fancy Folds at My Besties

 Good Morning All Crafters out there!

It’s time for a new challenge over at
My Besties
This time our theme is
Fancy Folds
- and wow, did I find a great tutorial for a Fancy Folded Card to use for my card!

I may have gone a bit wild using dies, but I wanted to put this girl in a real winter wonderland.

The image is Sherri Baldys Img 100010, and it’s coloured with ProMarkers.
I’ve used DPs from Pion. And as you can see, all paperedges, both on DPs and most of the diecuts are inked. On many of the snowflakes I used Glitterstickles. Beneath the image I put on Aleene’s True Snow (with a little glitter sprinkled over while the snowmedium still were wet.

Here’s how the card looks when the front is folded out.
Looking closer into the «depths» of the foldings, you can see more trees (different shaped) and snowflakes…

The back of the card, very CAS-style. Sorry I didn’t get any good photos of the inside, but they’re almost similar to this one.

Vintage PocketCard

Hello fellow crafters, I´m back.
After a week in Italy with my son and his classmates it´s really good to be back to my stamps, inks, papers and Mac.
I´down with a bit of a cold, a little fever, headache and many, many hours lack of sleep, but I´m here :)

Tonight I want to show you a vintage pocketcard I´ve made for a birthday.
I think the DPs used here are Pion, but I may remember it wrong…
To get the aged, vintage look I inked all edges with DistressInk WalnutStain

The back of the pocket and the insidecard:

A Little Giftset

I have got a new scraproom, quite a bit bigger than my old one. I haven´t got everything in place and the way I want it to be, but already I like it A LOT!

And I´ve got a Mac. I do NOT like this machine at all!!! I liked my old PC, with programmes that I knew how to use, and where to find… Sometimes this thing makes me so angry I just have to leave the room. Just finding the pictures for this post took me ages!  But I will learn how to use it - eventually…

Well, over to something a little bit nicer: 

 I have made a little giftset with a chocolatecard, a teabox, a matchbox and two decorated tealigts. Oh, and a little shakerboxtag to put on the gift after it´s wrapped in cellophane.

What inspired me to make this giftset was Sketchy Colors summerchallenge. They want us to use the colours Brown, Green, Lilac and White and have a wonderful sketch to follow too. I used the sketch for the chocolatecard, and used the 4 colours for all pieces of the set.

Inside the shakerbox I used one of the lovely My Besties images. It´s coloured with ProMarkers - yes, a little fiddly as it´s printed quite small, but I made it :)

Here´s the pieces of the set from an above angle:

A close-up of the chocolatecard, which I used the sketch to make:

I´ll enter these challenges with the giftset:

Sketchy Colors #171 - Colour + Sketch

Now I´ll continue fiddling around on th Mac. I really can NOT understand why we need this thing!

Paperbagcard for Confirmation

Hope you all have a happy easter
- I'm having a great time doing most nothing : D
Here's one of the "nothing-things" I've done.
I've made another confirmationcard for a boy.
This time I've used papers from Pion. I think Pion papers are so beautiful in itself that they don't need much embellishments or decor. Pefect for male cards.

I used a brown paperbag as base for the card, folded it and decorated it.
The next pictures show the insides, the tag and the back of the "card".

The sentiment in the front is a stamp from Kort&Godt. The greeting on the tag is from Papirdesign.

I'll enter these challenges:
Dutch Dare #210 - CAS
Sentimental Sundays #146 - Anything Goes
Pause Dream Enjoy #6 - Anything Goes

I hope you like it. I'll be back soon, showing "nothing"

Tagbook for Confirmation

Hi again, girls :)
Spring and confirmations seems long ahead - tonight and earlier today we've had some more snow... - but time run fast and before we know it they're both here. And as I've said before; a slow cardmaker like me have to start early. Cards for the boys are the most difficult, so I've started these first :)
Today I'll show you a tagbookcard I've made.
I think the image is from WOJ (hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong).
I cut a 3.1/4" x5" panel of aquarellepaper and punched around it with Martha Stewarts Eyelet Lace PATP-set.
I've coloured it with DistressInk (Reinks and Markers).
Then I inked the edges, like I did with all papers (Pion, Papirdesign and Panduro) and cardstock.
I put lots of halfpearls around the image.
Next picture shows it opened facing the back of it.
I used Kraftcardstock for the labels. Stamped different greetings in the middle and swirls around the edges.

Here's the inside. Tags made of Kraftcardstock. Decorated with stamping and/or papers.
The back of the tags doesn't have any stamping, there one can write more personal greetings :)

Here I've pulled the tags up a bit. I see now that I should have pulled the tag to the right more up, as the stamped greeting are at the bottom of it (funny how much more you see and think of when you see pictures...)
