Sommer bryllup / Summer wedding

Hallo igjen. ✿

En stund siden sist jeg blogget... Helt scrappetørke har det ikke vært, men stått stille på blogginga. 

Men no følte jeg for å ihvertfall se om æ huska korsen det her funka ;)

Sol og sommer, og bryllups tid. Fikk en bestilling på et elegant bryllups kort i sort..... Jeg har lett og søkt etter design papir i sort med elegante mønster/tegninger i hvitt, sølv eller gull... Det har jeg ikke funnet noe sted... Så da e det bare å rote i stempelkassa etter bakgrunns stempel... 
Fant et æ engang i tiden fikk med et utenlandsk scrappeblad med teroser... Hvitt og sølv stempelputene æ hadde forsvant på den sorte kartongen så det måtte bli gull.... Har æ masse gull og e glad i det??? Nopp... Hadde ei stempel pute men den var delvis tørka opp og før æ blei ferdig så va den oppbrukt det lille hjørne det var litt stempelveske igjen på.... KRISE... 4 daga te bryllup, ingen crappe/hobbybutikka her.... Så turen gikk te Søstrene Grene, så æ berga mæ! Men må anskaffe mæ ei god gull og sølv pute, det e sekkert. Så "degsign papiret" ble stemplet på sort kartong,

Kortet skulle ikke bare være sort du, nei spesielt også.... Folk assa :D hehehe... 

Har hatt en mal på et kort en tid æ ikke har heve mæ rundt på før no. Fra en nederlandsk side så her måtte det oversettes for å komme igang. https://www.hobbyshopveldmaat.nl/Hints-Samen-Creatief-6  
Denne er ikke for nybegynnere, her må man holde tunga rett i munnen altså.. Mange deler og tjukke fryseposa. Det ble mange feil kuttinger. Og kortet e veldig tungt, pga av alle lagene.

Restepapir i gull og sort glitt er ble disene brukt både til fasong og pynt. Tekststemplet ble embosset i et mix pulver i gull, glitter og hvitt for å fremheve det.

Favoritt disen fra Cherry Lynne design, er det ikke så ofte jeg får brukt den, da den er litt utfordrene å bruke, men elsker den. Og her ble den helt perfekt i sort glitter papir.. Motivet med paret i midnattsola passa perfekt... vel æ innbille i allefall at det e midnatt sola :D 

Passa iallefall te sommerbryllup her i nord. ✿

Tilbake på scrapperommen, konfirmasjons tid

Hallo igjen. 

Wow been a while now. But now I am back after a long long break. I have found the FUN in scrapping again and more hours are used at my craftroom. So to day I will show you some of the confirmation cards that I have made lately. Hope you get inspired to ;)

Here is a little collection of male confirmation cards I have made lately. 

Fore these I use my Silhouette to cut the splashes.

Some already folded ties where the inspiration for these cards.

Also used different dies, stamps from Norwegian companies and scrap paper in my storage.

That's all for now, happy crafting all.

Christmas tag in traditional colors

Hello everyone.

We have a fabulous new challenge for you at House of Cards this month!  You can be inspired by the colors or include the holiday theme on your card or be like me and use both.

To day it is the first day with snow here, and I have been in real Christmas mood here. So this months challenge was just all joy. And I wanted to start making some tag for the Christmas presents later this season. And here are the first one.

So here is my lovely Christmas Santa tag, or Nisse as we say here in Norway.... our nisse are small and lives in the barn or in the woods and are all kind to the animals and do tricks on us humans these weesk before Christmas. So if anything goes wrong, blame it on the Nisse. :D

I always have enjoy to color since childhood. And for this tag I use one of my very first stamp ever, one I have very dear and want more of the same style. So if you know of any let me know ;)

This one is from Ladybugs and Friends, and I don't know the designer of this. So if any know the desinger, I like to know. 

This one I have used a lot, and used with my Promarkers and watercolor on, but never my Prismacolor. So of course this one had to be done with my pencils and on my craft cardstock. 

I just use the pencils, and no mediums needed when blending on craft or sketch paper. Started to ink it up with Memento London fog, a ligth gray and then colored it.

Die cut it with a tag die from Die'desire. Inked up the edges with the same ink. It needed some more so I used my Martha Stewart branch punch and punched out some branches in green scrap papers and added some red half pearls and a dark green ribbon.

So hop over to the House of Card challenge this month and enter your craft and enjoy the first of winter and snow. I know I will.

Here is the graphic for the challenge

Holiday and/or Colors

Happy crafting everyone.

Autumn colors / Høst farger

Hello again. 

Are you ready for another challenge over at the HOUSE OF CARDS?

This months theme is about CAS Halloween and/or Colors.

Here are my cards :)

I randomly inked a sheet of paper with distress ink i orange, soft green and grey colors. 

I did diecut the leaves from this. The tree is diecut out of some black cardstock.

1.st card I just randomly glued the leaves on the frame and tree, before I glued it all on the base card.

2nd card I cut a circle from a postit note and inked the grey area, I also teared up a paper edge as I inked for some clouds. Removed the postit note and inked the moon. Glued the tree frame on this and cut around and glued to the basecard. At last the leaves where glued on.

I used Distress ink, Impression Obsession - Tree Frame and Tattered Lace Die - Mini Blooms.

Scrap papers for the base and the tree.

Happy with my cards, and hope you got inspired to make one or more too....

Fun Folded Twist Card

Hi everyone.

Ready for another month for the challenge at the House of Cards. 

This month it is all about flower or and lilac/purple colors.

I struggle to find my inspiration, rather beeing out in the sun and enjoy the summer right now. 

But looking around I found this Fun Folded Twisted Card at the The Paper Crafting - Scandinavian edition. HERE a link for a Youtube tutorial I used.

 Here is how mine turn on this Fun Folded Twisted Card.

I folded it in the opposite directon so my front got just one panel, and the pocket is on the left when you opend the card.

It is an easy and quick card to make, just remember if you use two sided pattern paper, do cut with the side you want too use up, otherwise your panels pattern can be upside down. 

I think this card will work great as invitations too, as you can make 3 out of an 12x12 background and an pattern paper.

That's why it is rose pattern on all the large panels at mine. I also glued it down so it stayed as an pocket card. And I made a little note card for the pocket but it dissapeard between my craftroom and my outdor photosession. Sorry.

I have used Bazzill craft for my base and two sided pattern paper from Maja desing.

Used dies from Tattered Lace and Marianne design.

And my stamps are from Norwegian Storyteller, and are all about friendship.

Rinestones from Staz.

Used a Sakura clear glaze gel pen on the sentiments to let pop a little.

The flowers got a sprinkle of mist from Tattered Angel and 13@arts, and shaped before gluing.

So that is my card, hope you enjoyed it, and enter your card for the challenge.

Here is our graphic for the Challenge

Happy Crafting

MixMedia Friendship Tags

Hello and happy summer to you all.

I am back here with another challenge at the House of Cards. This month the theme is 

STRIPES AND OR COLORS.

Here is my tags for the challenge.

My stripes are the ribbons, the gesso and the texture of the cardboard, also choose the colors. 

Did not find my tags, (still unpacking) so I made some from a cardbox. 

For texture I took of the top layer, which I stamped the sentiment on, and the bottom layer made the texture for the tags.

Have used Gesso, Gelatos, Acrylic Paint markers and paste on the backgrounds. Leftover ribbons, (could have used paper scraps to) old watch parts. These I used alcohol inks on. The other metal embellishment did get layers of light gold paste and green gelatos. 

I also had som diecuts in yellow and green, worked perfect here.

On this one I added som micro micro glas beads.

And this got some yellow star sequins.

 This is the color theme for this challenge. You can also choose stripes or both.

Hope to to see your creations for this challenge.

Have fun crafting in the sun

Konfirmasjons tid - jenter

Hallo igjen.

Fikk bestilling på konfirmasjons kort og da ble det noen bler i samme stilen. Utgangaspunktet var et kort jeg har laget tidligere, da til gutt.

Her er kortene.

Brukt vintage motiv fra klippeark, blomsten er av samme mønster papir som bakgrunnen. Revet strimler av papireet og en kontrast farge. Bånd ble laget av fibervev i match ende farge. Metall og perlepynt i blomsten. 

Inni er det en konfirmasjons tektst og en skjult pengelomm bak skrive feltet. Baksiden er lignene som inni.

Her er orginalen.

Og her er flere til jentene:

Lagde flere i rosa og lilla toner, men disse er de jeg likte best.

Deltar i disse utfordringene:
