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:

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:

Vintage/ Retro @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

Good Morning to you all
As this post goes live I'm on my way for a little christmas shopping. Just a couple of days in the city for some last presents and a little more exciting christmas candies and food than what the one shop at the island has - and of course I plan to visit my favorite shop in Bodø; Trel...

But first, it's Wednesday and time for a new challenge over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers

This challenge will be the last this year, and has the theme

Vintage/ Retro

and our sponsor is

The Paper Shelter

Prize is a $15 voucher

I got the image Little Hazel, and made a christmas card with it.
The image is colored with ProMarkers, for the icy details I used lily white glitter from Doodlebug design. DPs are from Authentique "Cozy" collection.
The paper edges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.
To decorate the card I used cheesecloth, laces, seambindinribbon, several snowflake-dies, a snowflake charm, white poinsettias and a drinking straw. The stamped texts are from Kort & Godt.

Sizzix Toppers, Borders and Corners by Brenda Walton

Good Morning

Today I have another dies-set I have got to play with from Sizzix to show you.

I have to warn you; this is a rather pictureheavy post, with measurings for the paperbag I made, and with lots of close up pictures, I hope you'll find it interesting enough to continue reading...

The dies set I got from Sizzix this time is called

Toppers, Borders and Corners by Brenda Walton

This set contains 8 different dies, and was super fun to play with.

I made a paperbag that fitted the size of the dieses.

Here's my finished paperbag:

(You'll find measurements for the paperbag further down in the post)

Backside:

Opened up:

After a little try- and failing I came up with these measurements for the paperbag:

(I used 250g cardstock to make the paperbag)

Cardstock size: 8 1/4" x 10"

Score: 3 1/8", 4 5/8", 7 3/4" and 9 1/4" (it leaves a 3/4" strip to glue the paperbag together)

Score shortside on 1/2" for the bottom part of the bag

This leaves the paperbag 8 1/4" high, but of course it can be cut at the hight you want...

I used papers from G45 on the bag before I attached the top and bottom covers.

Then I covered the bottom part with one of the dies from the set, the scorelines on the die-cut matches the foldings on the bag just perfect:

I covered the top of the bag with anothe dies from the set. 

This one is only attached at the back of the bag, to be able to open the paperbag:

I decorated the part that is attached to the bag the same way as the frontside:

Inside the lid I put on a magnet to keep the bag closed (of course there's a magnet underneath the DP on the bag, as well...)

On the back of the paperbag I used an image from a G45 DP, lined for writing a little greeting or personal message

I think this little charms fitted just perfect for the paperbag

Materials used:

Dies: Sizzix Toppers, Borders and Corners by Brenda Walton (SIZ-660258)

DesignPapers: Authentique Anchored Paper Pad (AU-ANC500)

Charms: Storyteller (ST-008226)

DistressInk WalnutStain (RAN-TIM19534)

Stamp inside the lid on top: G45

Cheesecloth, Seambindingribbon, Twine, Button, Halfpearls
