Passion for Promarkers, Week 248, Diecuts.

Here's my card for the Week 248 challenge on the Passion for Promarkers blog.

I have colored with my Promarkers.

Stamps: Rain, Snow, Shine- Miss Anya, from The Greeting Farm.
Text from Darcie's Country Folk, and small umbrella from My Cute Stamps.

Dies I've used: MFT Blueprints 14, MFT Cloud Cover-Up,  Lawn Fawn Stitched Scallop Borders, 

C.C.Designs Four Seasons Fence, C.C.Designs Mushroom Border, 

and Spellbinders Circles for the rainbow.

I have also used Stickles on one of the clouds, to make it sparkle, 

and some enamel dots.

Thanks for visiting my blog! :)

Hooked on you ♥

Stamp and text from Unity Stamp Company, Happy Love Day.
I have also used Die-namics Blueprints 14, from My Favorite Things.
Cardstock from Bazzill, and paper from Doodlebug.

And I think I'm addicted to these enamel dots from the norwegian company Papirdesign!
I absolutely love them!


Thank you for visiting my blog! :)

Storing stamps

This is how I store my rubber stamps. :)

I stamp the images and then laminate the paper. I'm using Color Copy 200g, but you can use any paper as long as it's heavy enough. (The stamps get quite heavy when you fill the page! ) 

I put them in binders, which can be easily stored on a shelf above my work space. Easy to reach for when I need them, and easy to flip through the binder to find the right stamp, or just to get inspired! . :)

My laminating machine is a cheap Peach Photo Laminator A4 Silver Line,

bought years ago, but still gets the job done.

Thanks for stopping by!

A card for Unitys Friends with flair

Here's a card I've made for Friends with Flair, over at the Unity blog. :)

For this card I used some stamps from Unity Stamp Company. 

The bird is from a past KOM kit, Strength & Dignity, and the round 

scalloped stamp is from the Blossom Stackers kit. The Blossom Stackers can be used with 

the Blossom Tags & Accents die set from Spellbinders, as you can see on my card. :)

The text is from Papirloftet.

I've also used Rose Leaves Signature Dies, from Joanna Sheen, 

and Prima Say it in Crystals.

And here's a little tutorial on how I made the flowers. :)

Use 2 different sizes of the Retro flower punch, from EK Success and punch out

lots of flowers from cardstock. I used Bazzill Smoothie Walnut Cream.

Use a pair of decorative edge scissors on the edges of the petals.

I used brown Memento ink and a Paperbag Studios stamp.

Use a sponge or blending tool and apply Broken China Distress ink, 

or any other color or ink you would like.

Lightly mist the flowers, and crumble them. 

Mist again, and let them dry for a while.

When they are almost completely dry, open them up.

Put one flower on top of the other, and glue it in place. 

Place it on a soft surface and use a pointy tool to press down in the middle.

Add several layers, at least 3

To make the center place one flower face down. Add some glue in the center and

on the petals. Press the tool down in the middle, and lift the petals up, one by one, and

fold them tightly around the tool.

Put some glue on the flower you already made, and add the center.

Add some Vintage Photo Distress ink with the blending tool, and you're done! :) 

Thanks for stopping by! :)

For our living room wall

I've made this for our living room wall. 

I really like this quote! 

I've used Panduro cardstock and QuicKutz to make the buttons.
The text is printed on our Canon iX6550.

Size: 43x43cm.

Stjerner 3

Her er kort nr 3 til Ett Trykks stjerneutfordring.

Denne gangen ble det et enkelt one layer card.
Jeg liker så godt å stemple på kraftkartong og fargelegge med

fargeblyanter, jeg synes det passer så godt til enkle kort,

og jeg synes fargene kommer så godt frem.

Jeg har brukt Gorjuss girls stempel, og fargelagt med Faber-Castell Classic Colorpencils.
Teksten er fra Kreativ Hobby. 

Har også brukt stjernedie fra QuicKutz.

Ser nå at jeg har glemt å fargelegge stjernene på skoene hennes, men de skal bli hvite,

akkurat som stjernene på kjolen hennes. ;)

Takk for besøket! :)

Stjerner 2

Kort nummer to, til Ett Trykks ufordring Stjerner.

Jeg tapet washitape på en bit kartong, og trykket ut en stjerne med Spellbinders die.
Teksten er fra Norsk Stempelblad.

Knappen har egentlig samme farge som den mørk rosa tapen med prikker, men fargen ble ikke helt riktig på bildet. Den har også noen streker med glitter inni.

Stjerner

Her er et enkelt babykort til Ett Trykks utfordring Stjerner.

Jeg har stemplet på Bazzill Kraft og fargelagt med Faber Castell fargeblyanter.
Bamsen er fra et utgått stempelsett fra C.C. Designs (Tidligere All That Scraps).
Teksten er fra Kort og Godt.
Jeg har også brukt dies fra Magnolia, Spellbinders og QuicKutz, og scrappers floss fra Karen Foster.

Takk for at du stakk innom! :)

Once upon a time, there was a fleece blanket..

Well, not anymore! ;)

Made this from a fleece blanket, and som leftover fabric from a summer dress I made. :)

New card, Heidi with Kitty

This is Heidi with Kitty, a digistamp from C.C. Designs. I've colored her with my Faber-Castell Clasic Colour Pencils.

I've also used dies from Spellbinder, Magnolia and Joanna Sheen.

The paper is from My Minds Eye, and the text stamp is from Kort i Hodet.

I made a dot pattern with Stickles.

Thanks for stopping by!

My second card for the C.C. Designs Monthly Challenge #6

I made another card for the C.C. Designs Monthly Challenge #6

This time I used C.C. Designs Cupcake Kiki La Rue DIGI Image and coloured her with my Faber-Castell colour pencils. The cupcakes is from the C.C. Designs Cutters Sweet Treats Set Die. The text is from Norsk Stempelblad. I have also used Spellbinder dies, ribbon, Kaiser Craft pearls, and papers from Cardmaking and papercraft magazine.

The colours on this photo and the one of the previous card isn't right, but I couldn't get them any better.

C.C. Designs Monthly Challenge #6 :)

It's been a while since my last card, and I always find it easier to get startet when I have a challenge to play along with. This time I chose the C.C. Designs Monthly Challenge #6. :)

I used C.C. Designs Sweet Kiki La Rue DIGI Image and coloured her with my Faber Castell Classic Colour pencils. (Still my favourite! ;) )

I also used the C.C. Designs Cutters Curly-Q Border Die and the icecream is from the C.C. Designs Cutters Sweet Treats Set Die which is retiring, so hurry up if you want it! :)

I've also used a Magnolia die for the leaves, Bazzill cardstock and paper from Karen-Marie Klip and the text is from Norsk Stempelblad.

Ny monsterbukse

6-åringen min ville ha ny monsterbukse, da den andre var blitt for liten.
Kjøpte garn forrige lørdag, og startet strikkeprosjektet lørdagskvelden. I går (lørdag) var jeg ferdig!
Hadde regnet med å bruke laaaang tid, så jeg er veldig overrasket over at jeg greide det på bare en uke! :)

Buksen er strikket i Mor Åse superwash, pinne 3,5.
