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. ✿

Acetat and vellum card

Hi again.

New month and and a new challenge at the House of cards. This month it is about clear papers. (Like vellum and acetate). 

I had a struggel with this, not short of ideas but they did not came out the way I wanted. So at last I made this. And I am pleased with this card. It is more purple than the photos shows

I am inspired by Jennifer McGuire and lots of her tutorials for vellum and acetate card. Also little inspired from Kittie Caracciolo.

I had this tree die from Impression Obsession, and diecut it out of vellum. 

I have got some alcohol inks and playedwith them on a clear binder cover. When dry I diecut som mini flowers. Did shape them e little, and random placed them on the branches of the tree. Little crystals in the center of each flower. 

The sentimen is also from Impression Obsession, and machted the card well.

The base is a binder cover sheet folded, and a smaller note card inside. 

The sentiment is placed on the note card inside. 

Hope you have a little isnpiration from my card here. And hop over to the challenge and see all the other girls creations.

Happy crafting.

Star folded card and Coloring with embossing powder

Hi Peeps, and a Happy New Year to you all.

A new year and an new term as a DT for the House of Cards for me, and I am very happy to be part of this amazing team. This month our Challenge are embossing and or color inspiration.

Here is mye Star foldet Card.

As you know I love and use a lot of embossing on my cards, and to day I want to show you a non-traditional way of embossing, Coloring with embossing powder.

This technique I spotted over at Jennifer McGuire on Youtube and had to try it.
I have this layered stamp sett from Altenew, where I used the leafs to try this technique.

The way of how you do it is that instead of layers of ink stamping you use Versamark and colored embossing powders.

I did not have many colors to pick from so the first layer, the base I used a light green pingment ink from Colorbox and clear embossingpowder over. Next layer is a powder from Tim Holtz and Ranger, and it have this sandy feeling when you touch it. Since I already had a layer of clear embossing powder this powder become less sandy to touch. The top layer is black embossing from Whistler, my favorite embossingpowder, sadly they are retired.

To get a good result it is smart to use your antistatic tool, cloth or buddy between each layer and let them cool down between each embossing and dont overheat.

I have the die set to this stamp set so I die cut all the leavs I made.

I also die cut this ornamental cirkel from Marianne desing, embossed it and when still in the die I inked up the raised parts of it.

The Star foldet card I have seen lots of on Pintrest and have made one before, and this is a simpler take on it as I wanted to let the leavs and front lable be the main focus.

I lightly inked up the egdes of the roses, and a lace ribbond glued at the back of the front panel with a cirkle to cover it.

The text I diecut from the same paper as the card base of the card. I was planed to emboss it but forgot. Sorry. Emboss your diecuts in embossing powder and they get a 3D effect. You can see it on my Frosty Card. This is also a card with a lot of heat embossing on it, have look for more inspirations.

There are so many ways that you can eboss and use embossing powder. Hope you got inspired and want to try out this fun technique of layered embossing.

And check out the other DT members for more inspiration~

Desember 2015 House of Cards Blog hop

Oh gosh, December already... have you been noty or nice... hihihi

Hello all you wonderfull cardmakers and crafting peeps.

Hope you all are in the Christmas mood, and will join us in this blog hop for the 

Hose of Cards. 

Here is my inspiration cards

I have used digis from our sponsors MHKDesigns and stamps from Great Impressions.

With the papers and brand new digi from MHKDesigns, I made this rosett card. Love makeing these and it worked well with this digi and worn pinkish paper. You know I love work with craft paper, so our inspiration photo for this bloghop was just a joy for me. Have used an egde punch Ek success, and die from Tonic studion and the Poinsettia are from retired Boss Cut.
Picked up the pink, white and craft, and some hits of gold on the poinsettia and some gold strings. The digi is colored with Distress markers and covered in ice glitter. 
You find this great digi here:MHKDesigns

 From Great Impressions I fell in love with this "dreamy" tree stamp and just had to have it.
And in my stash i found my old flock kit, and have not used it for agedes. So why not use that together with som gold glitter and and a glue pad. Flock is this velvet print on cards, and was super hot when I started makeing cards. Wanted them to have a simple and clean look. Do not have many English greetings, but found this in a set I had and used it here. 

As you know I am a sucker for snowflake, can't get to many of them, dies stamps punches... whatever as long theres some snowflake I am fine. So this to ended up in my basket. Did the same with this, like the other one. And both got a layer with gold glitter at the egde. Did not have any gold glitter paper. And yes I do have gold glitter all over my house. Even my dog is sparkling. 

Hope you found this all inspireing and want do do this fab bloghop. Enjoy hoppin.

Stamped Punched window with a hidden object

Hi am back with another challenge at The House of Cards. 

This month it is a teqhnique challenge: Stamped punch window. And you know me I had to challenge my self on this. Did not know of this technique, but I looked it up after Mynn showed us. And there is a lot of tutorials on the Youtube and at Pintrest. I also found a lot of card with this hidden object, so I wanted to combine these. 

And here is my November card.

And when you open it, a new object shows in the cut out window.

And here you see how it slide inn the window pocket.

And here is howe the die cut fit rigth in the die cut window of the bulb.

I stamped and embossed and cut out all the bulbs and used a halographic embossingpowder. It gives a nice shine of the color as in the rainbow. 

The two bulbs in the front are mounted with thick foam tape to give some dimension. Used quilters rainbow colord tre to hang them in the pine branch. The pinebranch is punched out with a branch punch and put together. And used my white Wink of Stella brush.

The hanging on teh top of the bulbs I embossed in silver and fuzzy cut out, 

This was a fun card to make, and there is a load of tutorials and inspiration on both Youtube and Pintrest.

Here is what I have used: 

Spellbinder die set and stamps

Marha Punch pine branch

Distress ink Chipped Sapphire

Versamark ink

Ranger Holagraphic embossing powder

Whistler silver embossingpowder

Pattern paper from Inkido, sadly retired.

Dobble Gatefolded Card with hidden opening - Wedding

Hei folkens!

Da e æ tebake med et nytt kort, bestillingkort te bryllup i blått og gult. Artig med utfordringer som ikkje følger de vanlige tradisjonene og valgene. Blått er en av mine favoritt farger og scrapper mye med dem, men denne gangen i kombo med gult som bestiller ønsket.

Bestiller er en sprek dame og sku til England i høstbryllup og da hadde jeg lyst å prøve meg på noe nytt, og fant flere turtorials på dette dobble gatefoldet kortet med skjult lukking.

Kortet ble spennende og fresh i fargene. Så her er det:

Den ene siden glir inn i en skjult lomme på fronen når det lukkes

Slik ser kortet ut helt utfoldet og det kan stå av seg selv.

Skjult lomme bak fronten

Blomster bygd opp i flere lag på pappplater som base. Og siden æ ikke fant vellumen min ble bryllupsteksten stemplet på acetat og embosset og stanset ut med en Die Disre label som hadde huller i hver side. Og der tredde jeg pyntenålene igjennom og festet dem på baksiden av hjertet før dem så ble limt på doilien og kort fronten. Fronten er som regel det siste jeg monterer på de fleste kort, særlig når den ruver slik som denne :)

Brullupstekster og stempeler fra forskjellige sett.
Passet på å ikke ha noe annet en flatt papir på venstre halvdel da dette skal inn i lommen bak fronten når det er lukket.

Her er det også brullups tekster brukt for å ramme inn skrivefeltet i midten. Brukte clear gel pen stardust for skimmer på deler av tekstene.

Baksiden når det er lukket. Her har jeg brukt samme label die som til bryllupsteksten.

Dette her jeg brukt:
Restepapir og kartong
Blomster - WOC, Storyteller og Prima
Bling - Storyteller
Ringer og hjerter - Dinfantasi
Stempelsett - KortogGodt og Inkadinkadoo
Div bånd og hjerte doilie

Memento stempel puter
Versamark embossing pute og embossing pulver - Whistler
Acetat
Pyntenårler - WOC
Dies - Die'sire Dies og Lifestyle Crafts Dies
Sakura clear gel pen star dust
