Vintage julekort

Jeg er utrolig glad i flotte kort i alle mulige slags stiler. Og jeg MÅ bare prøve ut flotte bretteteknikker, stiler og utstyr som jeg blir inspirert av. Jeg klarer ikke helt å bestemme meg for hva jeg liker aller best - foruten å kreere ting !!! ;)
Til julekort liker jeg aller best Vintage, jeg er så glad i tradisjoner i jula. Og alt "gammelt" passer så godt inn i jula. Så nå har jeg prøvd meg på et vintage julekort. Jeg har tatt utgangspunkt i skissen på Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - måtte snu og vende litt før jeg fikk det "rett" men... I tillegg er dette mitt bidrag til utfordringen hos Nordsalten Hobbyklubb og Vintageudfordring, der man skulle lage sin egen bakgrunn. Min bakgrunn er laget med brun halvtykk kartong, bobleplast, embossingpad og gull embossingpulver.

I love all kind of beautiful cards, all in different styles. I always have to try out fun folding tecniques, styles and stash that inspires me. I can't decide what I love the most - except from creating!! ;)
For Christmas cards, I love the Vintage style because I'm a big fan of traditions and I think "old stuff" works great for Christmas. So... I've tried to make a Vintage Christmas card based on this week's sketch from Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. I had to turn the elements a bit to make it look "right" ;) I'm also entering the challenge at Nordsalten Hobbyklubb and Vintageudfordring, where I should make my own background. I made mine with brown carton, bubbleplastic, embossing ink and golden embossing powder. Here's the result:

Supplies

Carton: Ursus

Stamps: Papirloftet "Juleevangeliet"

Ink: Distress Ink Vintage Photo fra Ranger

Others: Flowers from Papirloftet, image from a cutout paper, handwritten text, doily, string. Gold embossing powder.

Techniques: All edges are inked and distressed. The Christmas Gospel is inked on an aquarel paper and teared and inked on the edges to look old. Machinesewing. Embossing.

Heisann!
Her kommer en kjapp bloggpost med bilde av et kort jeg har laget til Nordsalten Hobbyklubbs utfordring, der man skal lage noe med hjemmelaget bakgrunn. Jeg har prøvd meg på et CAS kort - jeg blir stadig så imponert over dere som mestrer denne teknikken ved å få korta til å se enkle ut, samtidig som de har mange nydelige detaljer. Til dette kortet har jeg brukt voksmaling fra Encaustic Art. Det er en utrolig morsom måte å lage bakgrunner på, og har et ønske om å komme meg på kurs slik at jeg kan lage bilder med denne teknikken... For de som ikke har vært borti denne teknikken før, bruker man voksmaling som man smelter med et strykejern og lager ulike former og mønstre på lakkpapir. Du kan lese mer om teknikken her. Jeg har igrunn ikke brukt noen spesiell teknikk her - bare om å gjøre å få flest mulig farger på ett ark... He he...

Til kortet har jeg brukt:

Kartong: Ursus

Annet: Klistremerker fra Nille, glitterlim, håndskrevet tekst, bånd og distanseputer bak tekst, avrundet hjørnene med kantpunch.

Teknikker: Encaustic Art voksmaling med strykejern på lakkpapir

Jepp, det var det...
Nå skal jeg hive meg rundt å legge ut neste prosjekt her ;)
Takk for at du tittet innom - og legg gjerne igjen en hilsen...

Klemmer,

Santa's home - the snow is glittering with Frosted Lace stickles, and the candy sticks has got some glossy accents to look even more delicious ;)

The wish is old but still so true - a merry Christmas from us to you... :)

Omsider en bloggpost fra meg ;)

Heisann!
Nå er det en stund siden jeg har hatt tid til å dele nye kreasjoner med dere. Ikke fordi jeg ikke har laget noe - men fordi dagene er så travle. Men nå skal jeg se å få lagt ut noen bilder til dere.
Ute har det lagt seg et hvitt, mykt teppe på rundt 20 cm. Kjempekoselig når det blir snø, da blir det lyst og flott og barna (og voksne... Thihi) kan kose seg i snøen :)
Aller først vil jeg dele et bilde med dere. Jeg fikk inspirasjon hos kreative Helle til å lage slike bilder. Jeg har planer om å lage de fleste julegavene i år, og syntes disse var så flotte. Bildene måler 20x20 cm. Jeg trålte rundt i massevis av butikker for å finne et motiv jeg likte, da jeg plutselig kom på å stikke innom en interiør butikk. Der fant jeg heeeerlige servietter fra Sagen Vintage Design, noe som passer meg perfekt ettersom jeg elsker å holde på med decoupage. I tillegg er jeg kjempeglad i engler. Vintagestilen er vel kanskje ikke helt min sterke side, men jeg må si meg fornøyd med dette bildet. 1000 takk for inspirasjonen Helle, du er super!!! (Ta en titt innom bloggen hennes, der finner du MASSE flott!!!)

Hi there!
I've been quite busy lately, and haven't got the chance to update my blog. But today I want to share some new creations with you.
Outside we've got a lovely white carpet, about 15-20 cm snow has come the last days. That's perfect for both children and parents! ;)
My first post is a picture I've made. I got so inspired by Helle and had to try this myself. The size of the picture is 20x20cm, and I found this fantastic motive on a papernapkin on an interiour boutique, it's from Sagen Vintage Design, and it was love at first sight *lol* Vintage is not my best side, but I have to admit that I think this picture came out quite beautiful... ;)
Thank you so much Helle, for inspiring me! (You should take a look in her blog, she's making so much beautiful!!

A xmas card

Hello out there!! ;)
Yes - I think it's time to make some Christmas cards! But I think it's too early to buy Christmas chocolates in the store!! It's a time for everything, right?!? But I don't want to start the Christmas NOW! I just have to be a little prepared...
Today it's actually snowing here in North of Norway - it seems like the winter is here! I know the kids love it ;)
Well, back to my card!
I'm no good at Vintage cards. But I *love* them for Christmas (and all year long too...) and I just had to try making a vintage Christmas card. I'm not quite pleased with the result, but it's about my 3rd vintage project, and when I think about it, I have to say that I like it... *lol* ;)
The card is for the following challenges:

* CLP Challenge Blog - Sketch # 30
* Vintageudfordring - Use Gesso or paint on your project (I've been using acrylic color - stamping it with bubbleplastic)

Christmas wishes

The inside

"It isn't presents or food that's the best. It isn't the mulled wine that's warming the most. But the things that we cannot touch - the thought of the ones we love. Merry Christmas to you and yours" (Sorry about my translation... *lol*

An autumn tag ;)

Hi there!
Finally I've had a day off from work, and I have been able to finish some of my projects and make some new ones too :) And I've made some housework too... WOW! *lol*
I've made a tag with the theme of fall.
This project is made for the challenge over at Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings where the challenge is to make something with a fall theme.
I got so inspired to make this tag when I saw all the beautiful fall tags over at Scrapbook News and Review Magazine.

Supplies:

Papers: Ursus

Ink: Distress Ink Spiced Marmalade and Vintage Photo from Ranger

Others: Handwritten text which says "Warm and bright thoughts for cold and dark autumn evenings" Bling, ribbons and leafes. The edges are distressed and blackened.

I'm sorry the picture quality is bad, I'll try to get back with a better picture later, I do have some trouble with getting enough space for my pics on the computer, I guess I have to do something about it soon... *lol*
At last I want to wish you all a fantastic week - I'm enjoying the season of fall among job, familylife and all other commitments... ;) This is my favorite season!!! ;)

Lots of love,
