Sunny birthday card for a child

A birthday card probably best suited for a very young child. :)

Christmas stamps for a summer themed birthday card, because why not? :P
(Also because I had all of these things lying on my desk, not knowing what to do with them... Lol! )


Supplies:

My Favorite Things: Cloud Cover-Up, Blueprints 13 (Cut in half with another die, to make the hills.)

Avery Elle: Kitsch Christmas stamps and dies.

Lawn Fawn: Spring Showers.

Simon Says Stamp: Stitched Slopes & Hills, white, green and blue cardstock.

Other: Copic Sketch markers, MISTI, enamel hearts from MME, and Gratulerer med dagen from Norsk Stempelblad.

Dear Mom

Yet another CAS card. Almost a one layer card. ;)

I think this stamped image is so beautiful, I didn't want to add anything else, except a small sentiment that says Dear Mom in Norwegian.


I've stamped the image with Versamark, and embossed with clear embossing powder, and coloured it with my Copic Sketch markers. I'm not sure if this will harm my markers, but I couldn't see anything happening to the embossed lines, or the markers, so I took the chance. (I've heard that clear embossing powder is fine, but coloured will "melt" and ruin the marker. Not sure if that's true.)

Supplies: 

Stamps: Mother & Child, from Whiff Of Joy, and Kjære mamma from Norsk Stempelblad.
Cardstock: White cardstock from Simon Says Stamp, and Desert Storm from Neenah.
Other: Versamark ink, clear detail embossing powder from Simon Says Stamp, Blueprints 13 from My Favorite Things, Copic Sketch markers, and my MISTI.


Have a nice day! :)

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.

Garden Variety Tuesday challenge

Here's a card I made for a sketch challenge over at The Greeting Farm blog. :)

I've used the super cute deer from the Forest Friends set from The Greeting Farm.

Just for fun, I coloured it with a gel pen with glitter, and used water to paint over the ink. I think it worked out very well! You don't always need expencive markers or paints to get a fun result! :)

The paper is from my Minds Eye, and the text stamp is from Norsk Stempelblad. The diecuts in the corners are made with an old Cuttlebug die.


(I couldn't get the colours right in the photo, but this is the best I could do. Just imagine it looks a little bit prettier.. ;) )


Thanks for stopping by! Have a nice weekend! :)

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..!

My first Sugar Bowl entry.

RSS challenge #14

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! :)

New friends from The Greeting Farm!

The text is from Papirloftet, and the flourishes are from Norsk Stempelblad. And the owl is of course one of the Forest Friends from The Greeting Farm. ♥♥♥

Thanks for looking!
