Ett Trykks månedsutfordring, bidrag nr 3.

2012-01-03T13:18:00.000+01:00

Mitt tredje bidrag til Ett trykks månedsutfordring.

Stempelet er fra PSX. Har fargelagt det med Derwent Studio fargeblyanter, og hatt Stickles på støvbærerne.

Ett trykks månedsutfordring, bidrag nr 2.

2012-01-03T13:06:00.000+01:00

Bidrag nr to til Ett trykks utfordring one layer card

Blomstene er fra Autumn Leaves, fuglen fra October Afternoon og teksten fra Norsk Stempelblad.

Blomstene er fargelagt med Derwent Studio fargeblyanter. Fargeleggingen ser ujevn og rar ut på bildet, men er heldigvis bedre i virkeligheten..!

Ett Trykks månedsutfordring for januar, bidrag nr 1.

2012-01-03T12:56:00.000+01:00

Etter lang tid uten kortlaging har jeg endelig kommet igang, takket være utfordringen hos Ett Trykk
Utfordringen i Januar er å lage "one layer card".

Jeg fikk laget 4 kort i går kveld. Trenger litt finpuss på det siste før jeg legger det ut.
Kortene er veldig enkle, men jeg synes det er flott med litt variasjon fra vintage-stilen som har "herjet" de siste årene..! ;)

Det første:

Nå var jeg nettopp innom Ett trykks blog for å dele linken til kortet mitt, og ser at jeg og o'heidia har hatt samme idé om valg av motiv og oppsett. Jeg har ikke hermet, bare så det er sagt! :)

Har stemplet på Bazzill kraft-kartong, og fargelagt med Derwent Studio-fargeblyanter.

Stempelet er fra Prima.

Ting og tang.

2012-01-01T15:29:00.000+01:00

Jeg har vært litt kreativ, selv om jeg ikke har postet noe her. ;o)

Først et kort med Hello Ian fra The Greeting Farm. Tekststempelet er fra Else Irene Meling.

Så et julekort til en liten familie jeg er fadder til, gjennom Misjon Uten Grenser.
Har brukt Lizzie with muff fra Whiff of joy som hovedmotiv. Hun er fargelagt med promarkers.

Lys og fyrstikkeske, dekorert med papir, blonder, charms, glansbilder og glitterlim.
God jul-stempelet på tagen er fra Kreativ Hobby.

Nærbilde av fyrstikkesken:

Printet ut teksten til "Nå tennes tusen julelys" og limte under fyrstikkeska.

Her er et øyenstikkerbilde jeg har laget.

Jeg printet en øyenstikker ut på en transparent, og klippet ut. Påførte stickles på baksiden, i farger som skulle ligne skimmeret på en ekte øyenstikker. Brukte Black Diamond og Aqua på kroppen, og bittelitt Crystal på vingene. Bøyde vingene litt opp, og monterte den på bazzill med limputer gjemt under kroppen.

Både pynten på ramma og rub-ons "stempelet" nederst er fra Nille.

Nærbilde:

Så malte og pyntet jeg en liten settekasse med diverse:

Et kort til en venninne som flyttet:

Så gikk jeg løs på kaffeboksen med spraymaling og pensel:

Et par konfirmasjonskort:

Til konfirmanten er fra Kort i Hodet. Bilen er fra AA-Design.

Innsiden, med plass til penge:

Kort nr 2:

Innsiden, med plass til penge:

Et bursdagskort med tilhørende sjokoladepose:

Jenta er fra Stampotique.

Jeg leker litt med symaskin også.
Her er utgangspunktet:

Og her er resultatet:

Og så har jeg lært å strikke votter, her er to par som ble sendt til to gutter i Albania:

Jeg har strikket endel mer, men dere skal slippe å se bilder av alt! ;)

Har bl.a. strikket nyfødtluer til dette prosjektet:

Babytøy og nyfødtluer til Malawi

Det var litt av det jeg har holdt på med i tiden jeg ikke har blogget.

Takk for at du orket å bla deg gjennom alt!

Ruth :)

Godt nyttår! Happy new year!

Oh no!

2011-12-14T21:19:00.000+01:00

So, hello there! It's been over a year since my last post.

As you can see, I've clearly been busy! A hippo has been eating my pepper flavoured cream cheese! No time for creating when that happens, as I'm sure you all know!

Hope to be blogging again soon, but you never know with those hippos.

Nice to see you again! ;-)

~Ruth~

Monsterpants!

2010-08-13T09:22:00.003+02:00

I've knittet monsterpants for my 3 year old. :)

This is what they look like from behind.

It's my first real knitting project. As you can see I ran out of yarn, and the new yarn I bought was from a different batch/ coloring, so one of the legs has a different shade of brown. :( I was sure I had bought enough, next time I'll buy enough and then some..!

This looks really cool!

2010-08-10T09:57:00.000+02:00

Memo to myself.. ;)

Introducing The NEW Sharpie LIQUID PENCIL

I really like that you can erase it if you make a mistake, but after three days it gets permanent! I hope it writes good on different papers and materials.
And it would be great if it was safe for scrapbooking! (Don't know if it is.)

I will keep an eye out for this liquid pencil!

My son, my mom an I had a wonderfull trip to Finnmark. :)

Here's some random photos I took.

So, it's supposed to be summer, or so I've heard.

2010-07-10T23:25:00.004+02:00

We've had rain, rain, rain, and then some. I'm waiting for some more of those sunny days..

These shots were taken with my new phone, a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro, after I downloaded the wonderful Vignette Demo app from Android Market.

Konfirmasjonskort :)

2010-05-30T20:51:00.004+02:00

Her er et konfirmasjonskort jeg har laget. Bildene ble tatt i all hast før kortet skulle leveres, så kvaliteten er ikke så god.

Håkon er skrevet med alfabetet Chandelier fra QuicKutz.
Til konfirmanten og verset inni er skrevet med fonten Porcelain og printet ut på akvarellpapir. Svertet kantene med Distress ink i fargen Antique Linen. Fuglen på tekstpanelet er fra Tim Holtz stempelsett Flights of Fancy.

RSS challenge #14

2010-02-06T22:44:00.007+01:00

Here's my card for challenge #14 at Ready-Steady-Stamp!

Here's the recipe for this challenge:

And here's the card I made:

The word Friends is metal, and I heat embossed it with copper embossing powder.
I've used a border punch on the photo and inside the card. I've used stamps from the Tim Holtz, Prima Marketing and Norsk Stempelblad.

I didn't like the look of the funky foam star, so I had to think of something to make it fit my project. :P
I heated it with my heatgun, and put it inside a Quick Kutz Goosebumpz folder while it was still hot. That gave the star a nice embossed look. (-And my arm a pretty good burn.. Don't place your arm on a heatgun seconds after you've used it..! ;P )

Then I inked it with Perfect Medium and added copper colored Perfect Pearls. :)

Thanks for looking! :)

Silly pants :D

2009-10-30T20:03:00.005+01:00

Today I made these silly pants for my 2 year old son. He LOVES them! So proud of his new pants, and especially the big pocket! :D

I'm going to sew elastic bands at the bottom of the legs, I just have to buy the elastics first.

The elephant is a pattern from a norwegian crafts magazine from 1978! (Alt om Håndarbeide nr 1, september 1978.) :D I ♥ retro! :D

I didn't have any sewing pattern or instructions, I just drew a pattern from a pair of pants he fits at the moment. This is the first pair of pants I've made, so I'm happy with the way they turned out. :)

Thanks for looking! Have a great weekend! :)

Lenge siden sist!

2009-05-13T19:21:00.007+02:00

Huff, over en mnd siden jeg har postet noe her! På tide å oppdatere litt! Tror jeg tar denne posten på norsk. :)

Var med på en utfordring på scrapping.no om å male stempeltrykk, og jeg var så heldig å vinne! Fikk en flott premie, så da lagde jeg et takkekort og sendte avgårde.

Jeg har først stemplet det lille treet på et ensfarget mønsterark fra Basic Grey, og stemplet rundinger i forskjellige grønnfarger oppå, og tegnet prikker rundt noen med brun Promarker. Treet er fra Purple Onion Designs.
Hovedmotivet er fra Forest Friends plata fra The Greeting Farm. ♥
Har i tillegg brukt filtblomster og filtbokstaver, cookie cutter dies fra QuicKutz og bølgepapp. Hovedmotivet er fargelagt med Promarkers.

Nå har jeg funnet fram symaskinen og sydd meg en veske, og kjøpt meg strikkepinner og begynt å strikke
Crankypants! Blir spennende å se resultatet, siden jeg aldri har strikket etter mønster før! :P

Et lite glimt at veska mi:

Den er sydd av brun cordfløyel, etter eget mønster.

Ugla er også egendesignet. :P

Vel, det var alt for denne gang. Takk for at du tok turen innom bloggen min! :)

Ruth

New Anya card ♥

2009-03-31T20:06:00.008+02:00

I've made a new card using my Miss Anya stamp. ♥

I painted Miss Anya with Distress reinkers.
The tag is stamped with an ornamental stamp from Panduro and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I then painted it with some pink paint. When the paint was dry, I added some distress ink around the edges.

The text "Til konfirmanten" is from Kort i hodet.

On the inside I made a small pocket to put money in. The text on the pocket is from Kreativ Hobby. The lovely lace is from Papirloftet. ♥

I colored her with my Promarkers.
The muffin and the present stamps are from Purple Onion Designs.

New discovery! :D

2009-02-22T01:35:00.004+01:00

Today I "discovered"
The Greeting Farm stamps, and I'm hooked! Such adorable stamps! Lucky me, I bought two of their Digital stamps, so I've been playing with them this evening. :)

I've made one card, with Alice Anya:

I also got to use some of mye new paper roses from
Wild Orchid Crafts

I printed Anya on water color paper, and colored her with my Promarkers. I also used a little pink chalk on her cheeks. The text is from Purple Onion Designs.

I wish I could stay up all night, creating more, but I guess my family wouldn't be too happy if I sleep all day tomorrow. ;P

New LO

Wiff of Joy Challenge #13

2009-01-11T17:32:00.003+01:00

Finally, I've had time and energy to get some stamping done! I've missed it a lot! :)

What got me started again was the 13th challenge in the
Whiff of Joy Challenges blog

Here's my card. :)

I've used Willow with hot chocolate from Whiff of Joy, and the sentiment is from Purple Onion Designs.

I got my Distress inks out, and colored Willow. After using my Promarkers for a short while, I have to admit that Distress is still my absolute favourite!

Thanks for looking!
-And happy new year, everyone!

Ruth :)

Not much happening here at the moment.. :(

2008-12-05T13:01:00.002+01:00

All the christmas cards I had planned will have to wait until next year. :(

Having a bit of trouble here.. Just click on the cards to see the full image. Thanks!
*******************************************************************************

First off, thank you for looking at my cards, and thanks for all the nice comments! I appreciate it!

Here's a card I made for a challenge at www.rubberstamps.no
The challenge was to make a autumn card.

I've used Tilda med maskros, and the text is from ClubStamp.
I've colored Tilda with my new Promarkers and MCP.
To make the leaves I inked a piece of watercolor paper, just dabbing the colors randomly. Then I used my cuttlebug with a leaf die to cut out leaves from the inked paper.

**************************************************************************

Here's a simple card with a stamp that's been standing on my shelf for a while.

The stamp is called Chic! and is from Penny Black. The text is from Kreativ Hobby.
I've colored the girl with Promarkers, and used a brown color pencil and Sansodor to create shadows.

Thanks for looking!
Ruth :)

Cappuccino card

2008-10-19T22:42:00.002+02:00

I got this lovely Whiff of Joy stamp yesterday. I just had to order it immediately when I saw it! I had an idea for a card with a single pack of instant coffe (or cocoa, or tea) inside, and this stamp fits just perfect! :)

And the inside:

I've used Willow with hot chocolate from Whiff of Joy, swirls from Inkadinkado, text from Purple Onion Designs, frame from Norsk Stempelblad, and the text inside is from Else Irene Meling. :)

Willow is colored with Promarkers and MCP.

Thanks for looking!

New birthday card

2008-10-16T21:10:00.003+02:00

Here's a birthday card I've made using some beautiful collage images from
Lisa's Altered Art

The girl and the butterfly wing is from the collage sheets.
The muffin is made wit design paper and a piece of pink Bazzill cardstock coated with Diamond Stickles.

The lace is actually a piece that was left over when my mom made my christening gown, 27 years ago. :)

The text is from Kort i hodet, and the circles and hearts stamp is from Fancy pants.

(Oh, and the card isn't this crooked IRL, it just looks this way because of the way it was lying in the scanner.. )

Thanks for looking!

Ruth:)

Retro lion

2008-10-07T11:16:00.003+02:00

Finally I had time to play with my Panduro retro stamps! :D

I've painted the lion with twinkling H2O's.
I've used my Spellbinders nestabilites petite scallop circle dies, QK Katie Skinnimini alphabeth and a cuttlebug embossingfolder to. :)

Thanks for looking!

Ett trykks utfordring #8

2008-10-05T19:33:00.003+02:00

Denne utfordringen passet veldig bra nå. Har lenge hatt planer om å prøve aluminiumsfolie i embossingfolderne mine. Det funket kjempebra! :D Brettet folien 6 ganger og la den inni folderen, og rullet gjennom cuttlebugen.

Stempel: Mothfab fra Stampotique og tekst fra Clubstamp.

Ruth :)

Ett trykks utfordring #2

2008-10-05T00:45:00.003+02:00

Her er bidraget mitt til
utfordrin #2.

Stempel fra Whispers og Kreativ hobby. :)
Scanneren lyver litt på dette kortet. Blåfargen er dusere og ikke så lilla, den er mer lik båndet.

High Hopes challenge #1

2008-10-03T22:57:00.004+02:00

Here's my card for the very first
High Hopes Rubber stamps challenge

The challenge was to make a birthday card, and use brads. And of course use stamps from High Hopes Rubberstamps. :)

I't seems my creativity is gone missing for the moment, so it's a bit plain and simple..

This stamp is called Sundays best. I've colored it with Derwent Studio coloring pencils. The letters are from the Cuttlebug alphabeth called Babyface, and the paper is from Basic Grey.

Thanks for looking!

Some new cards

2008-07-13T16:02:00.004+02:00

I've had a though couple of weeks.
My dad passed away june 30. He's had cancer for almost 3 years, and we knew he wouldn't get cured. He was in a lot of pain, so I guess it was a relief for him to get home to God. But it will probably take some time to get used to not having him among us anymore.

I've made a few cards, to keep my mind occupied.

Spritz & flick technique.
The flower stamp is Pash from Penny black, and the text is from ClubStamp.

**********************************************************************************

The boots are painted with Twinkling H2O's.
"These boots" from Stamp-It and the text is from Norsk Stempelblad, and the tiny writing on the flowers are from Panduro.

***********************************************************************************

A different birthday card. :)
(Not inspired by my dad, that was just a coincidence...)

Detail:

************************************************************************************

And here's a christmas card.

It's sort of the spritz & flick technique, but with a twist.
I've mixed perfect pearls and water in a mini mister, and sprayed over the panel, and used this mix to flick with my fingers, so the image is a bit sparkling. Thought it would be a nice touch on a christmas card.

The tree is from Eureka stamps and the text is from Papirloftet.

That's it for now.
Thanks for looking!

Flower card. :)

See you later! :)

Can you believe this lady is 84(!!!) years old?!
It's a beatiful song to.

Enjoy!

Today I've been to the dentist, getting my root canal finished. :S
I'm not to happy about going to the dentist. First you get the pain of all the work he's doing with your teeth, and then it REALLY hurts when you get to the part where he says what it costs... (Dentist appointments are pretty expencive in Norway.)
