Giftcard-Paperbag with The Day Before X-Mas Tilda

Hello, and good morning
3 days untill christmas, and I´m slowly getting all things ready for the big day; the house is cleaner and tidyer than the rest of the year, most of the presents are wrapped, food and clothes are planned
- what´s left is a little shopping, putting up the tree and a quick sweep over the floors, and we´re ready for christmas :)

Today I have another of my giftcardholder to show you, this time made with the beautiful magnoliaimage The Day Before X-Mas Stocking Tilda.  She´s coloured with DistressInk Refills.
For decorations I´ve used Magnolia-dies. The little house- and the Merry Christmas-dies are new, and sooo cute! I´ve had the poinsettia for quite a while now, but I still love, love, love it! I think it´s my most used die…

On the poinsettia, the house and around the image I put on some Frantage Shabby White Embossing Enamel - for the time it´s my favourite stuff! I use it on almost everything i make - may have to put it away for a while…
All text- and postalstamps, except from the «Til- Fra», are from Kort & Godt. The «Til- Fra»-stamp used on the back of the paperbag is from Papirdesign.
Designpapers are from Magnolia.

The back of the paperbag (of course a little embossing here too), stamped with «Til - Fra» («To- From»):

Here I´ve pulled the insidecard (or should I call it a tag?) out. Clean and simple, with slits to hold a giftcard:

Here´s the back of the insidecard (and the paperbag), with a stamped christmasgreeting:

Giftcard-Paperbag with The Day Before Xmas Edwin Shakerbox

I have made a Giftcardholder in a paperbag
Some of the youths I know even prefer giftcards…
But - the cardholders that come with the cards are sooo poor! I have to make my own cardholders!
This is one of the ideas I´ve come up with - yes, it´s my own idea! I havent seen it anywhere 😊

It´s an ordinary brown paperbag ( 3 1/8 x 5 7/8), bought at Søstrene Grene.
I cut Kraft cardstock 3 inches wide and some 6 ½-ish long (the punched border decides the length), to make the cardholder to put inside the paperbag.
Then I tried not to go too wild in dies and decorations - oh, I  L O V E  dies! Each and all of them!
The beautiful image, Magnolias «The Day Before X-Mas Edwin», is put inside a shakerbox, before
I attached it to the paperbag.

Here´s the insidecard shown. I cut to halfcircleshaped slits in the DP to hold the giftcard:

The backsides. On the insidecard i placed a little christmasgreeting. On the back of the paperbag I made a simple «To - From»-note

Materials used:
Paperbag
DP: Maja Design
Ink: StazOn JetBlack, DistressInk WalnutStain, Versafine Onyx Black, Adirondack Earthtones Espresso
Punch: Martha Stewart Cherish (PATP)
Dies: Magnolia, Spellbinders, My Favorite Things, Marianne Design

Stamps: Image Magnolia The Day Before X-Mas Edwin, Texts Kort & Godt, Papirdesign

Cheesecloth, Lace, Seambindingribbon, Button, Charm, Twine, Glassbeads, Eyelet, Brad, Jumpring

Inspired By A Song at My Besties

Good Monday Morning, All Crafters :)

Today I´ll try to inspire you to join in on 

My Besties

brand new challenge

Inspired by a  Christmas Song

The song I listened to and let me inspire by is

Maria Menas

Home for Christmas

It´s not often I like new christmassongs (from 2010), but this is one of those songs that hits your heart the first time you hear it. 

And here´s my Home For Christmas-Card:

You can find this image and many, many more in
Sherry Baldys Etsy Shop

and in the
Scrapbook Stamp Society Shop

Apart from colouring the image (it´s coloured with ProMarkers), what took me the longest time was braiding the wreath. Isn´t it nice??? I found it on YouTube, and just HAD to make it!
And best of all; it wasn´t hard at all!
Hopefully I´ll manage to put a link to the braiding here.

For a Child at I ❤️ ProMarkers

 Good morning fellow crafters!

It´s Wednesday and time for a brand new challenge at

I ❤️ ProMarkers

First of all I´d like to Thank you all for joining the Anything Goes-Challenge, and a huge congrats to the winner and Top 3

Now, on to the new challenge;

This week it´s

For a Child

I have decorated a wreath with last years Nativity Magnolias (still love them, and want more of them…)

On the backside of the wreath I mounted the barn - if you look closely you can get a glimpse of it behind the figures and feathers - then I put on figures and decorations.

This week I really can´t make a list of which colours I used on the images. I used most all of the light ProMarkers, blended together to get the rustic kind of look I wanted these images to have. I also used lots and lots of Blender…

I also used several dies - can you see I´ve got the Magnolia-wings?!? They´re so cuute! I love, love, love them!

I stamped the Christmas Story on a piece of shrinkfilm and curled the edges a bit. Then I put two bells onto it and tied it to the wreath.

The textstamp with the Christmas Story is an old one from Kort & Godt. It´s so huge - about 13 x13 cm - I haven´t found anywhere to use it before…

The prize for the lucky winner of the 

For a Child-Challenge

is from Mariannes

I´m sure many of you make something for a child for christmas, so show us your creations. 

The only thing you have to do is to use either ProMarkers, FlexMarkers, AquaMarkers or Trias on your work

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

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)

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:
