Thank you for visiting my blog!

Miss you

This cute bunny is from Mama Elephant, it's from a stamp set called Pix's Favorites.
I knew I wanted the bunny to look at a starry night sky from the moment I saw this set!

I paired it with the Seeing Stars set from Simon Says Stamp. I think it's a perfect match!
I also love the Inkylicious Ink Dusters! They make it so easy to blend ink, and to get a nice soft look! No hard edges and lines, like I would get from the foam blending tool.

If you've ever been outside in the winter, when it is freezing, you know how the snow sparkles like it has glitter and diamond dust in it. I wanted to give the impression of a really cold winter night, so I added some glitter glue to the snow. (It looks much better IRL than on this picture... Very hard to get a good photo of glitter!)

Supplies:
Stamps: Pix's Favorites from Mama Elephant, and Seeing Stars from Simon Says Stamp.
Ink: Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky and Chipped Saphire Distress Ink, Versamark and Versafine.
Dies: My Favorite Things Blueprints 13, and Simon Says Stamp Stitched Slopes and Hills.
Other: Fine detail clear embossing powder, Ink Dusters, foam tape, MISTI, glitter glue, and Copic Sketch markers.


Thank you for visiting!

Trykkpressa november 2015 (Entry #3)

My third and last entry for Trykkpressa november 2015.

I got the new Hot Cocoa Cups die-set yesterday, along with the Merry Christmoose stamp set,
both from My Favorite Things. Had a chance to play with them today, so I made this CAS-card.
I was going to add some enamel dots, but decided I wanted the super clean look, to keep all the focus on the hot chocolate mug. :)

I've also used a stitched rectangle from Blueprints 13, and Pierced Rectanlges, also from My Favorite Things.

Trykkpressa november 2015 (Entry #2 )

My 2nd entry for Trykkpressa november 2015.

All dies are from My Favorite Things. (Blueprints 14, Pierced Rectangles, and the stitched circle is from All Star High Top. I LOVE the way it fits perfectly with the flower, giving it a true retro look! :D I'm definitely pairing those two diecuts again! )

Stamps from Simon Says Stamp.
Not sure where the papers are from.

Thanks for stopping by!  And "Java" great day! ;-)

Trykkpressa november 2015

My entry #1 for Trykkpressa november 2015.

Dies: Dainty Teacup from Memory Box, leaves from Magnolia, Hearts from Lawn Fawn, and
the stitched square and the piece the sentiment is stamped on is from My Favorite Things.

Stamps from Simon Says Stamp, and sentiment from Unity Stamp Co.

Enamel Dots from Simple Stories. Not sure where the doily and the flower is from.

I'm sorry for the terrible quality of the photo! The card is already given away, so I can't take another photo..

Hello. No, not the song...

Supplies:
My Favorite Things: Blueprints 14, All-Star High Top.

Simon Says Stamp: Painted Hello.

Black and white Bazzill cardstock, and pink Bazzill Bling.

 Doodlebug glitter Sprinkles.

Design papers unknown.

Hello

Stamps and Hello die from Simon Says Stamp. The heart is stamped with Brilliance Dew Drop Galaxy Gold.

To make the panel I used the Pierced Fishtail Flags from My Favorite Things. I glued the black and white diecuts on a piece of cardstock, and then placed the stitched square die from Blueprint 14 on top, and cut a striped panel.

The heart and hello is mounted on 3D foamtape.

Enamel dots from Papirdesign.

Vodka latte, to go...

This is Granny Gertz, from Eat Cake Grapics. I thought this sentiment from Art Impressions
would fit great.

Granny Gertz is painted with Distress ink pads and reinkers.

I've used dies from the Blueprints 14, from My Favorite Things. The flower in this die set was a little too big for this card, so I used a flower from Cuttlebug instead. Papers from My Minds Eye.

Another card, made from the same "recipe". Not sure where the paper is from.




Tv die from QuicKutz, sentiment from Ankas Design. I've also used the Pierced Fishtail Flags die from My Favorite Things. Chevron stamp from Prima Marketing.

And all at once, summer collapsed into fall...

Here's a quick CAS card I've made.

The leaves are cut with an old set of Cuttlebug Dies, and coloured with Distress ink and a blending tool. I have also used a die from the Blueprints 14 die set, by My Favorite Things.
The text is from from Unity Stamp Company, it was in the Summer Collapsed Into Fall K.O.M, August 2014.

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! :)

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.
