SOUS MAY 7th - "Oldebesta"

Finally found the time to join you at SOUS again this week. Had to celebrate that you picked me for one of your Guest designer spots. Thank you - I am very flattered :)

In Norway we celebrate Mothers day in february, but in honour of your Mothers day I chose these cute pictures from 2007 that my husband took of my daughter Konstanse and her great grandmother. Love these pictures of them!!

Did not get a very good picture of it (because of flash problems), but hope you can get an impression. Turned the sketch around. Have used patterned paper from Papirdesign, craft cardstock from bazill in the bacground, and I have used an edge stamp from Stempelglede - grunge collection around the edges. Panels are sown on. Have also used some lace and roses from Papirloftet, edge punch from Martha Stewart, misc. flower. Font is Cricut Opposite attracts - upright feature, and branches from storybook cart. Butterfly is a Quikcutz die! Phu... that is all I think :)

Sukkersøtt #83 - gratulasjonskort

Oppgava hos Sukkersøtt denne veka var å lage et gratulasjonskort - til hvilken som helst slags anledning. Har nytta sjansen til å lage et forsinka bursdagskort til nevøen vår (3 år). Var litt inspirert av Camilla Støen Bakke sitt criss cross kort i siste Ett trykk, så måtte lage et slikt. Lenge sia sist!

Tok utgangspunkt i papirer fra Cosmo Cricket - Joyride, og gjorde faktisk alt i motsatt rekkefølge av ka eg pleier - dvs at eg malte stempeltrykka til slutt. Funka det og :) "Gratulerer"-stempelet er fra Norsk stempelblad.
Alltid søte (og her kule) Edwin er mala i distress inks; hovedsaklig med tumbled glass/broken china og weathered wood/black soot:



Ballongane som er festa i sida av stempeltrykket med en eyelet er skjært ut med cricut (George and Basic shapes) i akvarellpapir, og er også mala med distress ink:



På innsida finner vi igjen Edwin sammen med gratulasjonsstempelet til Norsk stempelblad. Edwin er her mala i motsatte farger fra forsida:



Takk for besøket :)

Sukkersøtt # 82 - O jul med din glede :)

Plutselig vart det et julekort! Har vært nok snøfall i det siste til at julestemninga kunne vore sikra, men dette kom nok meir av at eg måtte prøve nytt stempel :) den alltid sjarmerande Tilda.
Har brukt papirer fra Daisy D, mulberry roser fra Papirloftet, røde blomster fra ukjent produsent og mcgill pine punch. "God jul" er round feature fra Cricut Hello Kitty font.



Tilda er malt med distress inks, bundled sage og aged mahogany.
Takk for at du stakk innom :)

Just Magnolia - week 53

I have been wanting to join in on the just magnolia challenge for ages, and I finally found the time to make a real card again! Had a lot of fun with the lovely sketch by Bev, and made a girly card!

The lovely Tilda is coloured with distress inks - mainly victorian velvet and stormy sky. She also got som diamond stickles on her wings and her rose:



A little bird (with bling eyes...) is keeping her company. He is cut with cricut, the happily ever after cart (on of snow white's companions):



Mulberry roses from Papirloftet, leaves are cricut Doodlecharms and the lovely butterfly is from cricut - Every day paper dolls.



On the inside I have used the cute Edwin. Like on the outside all panels are sown on to the base. 
All edges are also scraped (with a nail file) and inked with distress ink.



On the backside, more of the beautiful rose paper from Papirdesign, and my own signature stamp from Sscrapmagasinet!



Thank you for looking!

Birthday card with a feeling of spring

Right now spring seems very far away, as we still have at least 3 feet of snow, so I thought I could make a little spring on my own. Will be joining the little contest over at the BBTB2 blog - a spring project including a stamp and ofcourse a cricut cut!

Patterned papers I have used is Maya design (the green one) and Papirdesign (dotted).

Have used this cute Tilda from Magnolia. Coloured with distress inks:

Cricut used on this card is frames from storybook (altered a bit in DS) and the little cute butterflies from Every day paper dolls (they are sooo cute - one of my favourite cricut cuts ever). Have also used a swirl/branch from Home accents, which I cut in half.

Bling brad and roses are from Papirloftet.

Have also decorated inside - using the same layout as the front, but with a scalloped circle frame from Mini Monograms:

 

and I have decorated the backside with my personal stamp from Scrapmagasinet:

Sketch saturday week #93

I got my new distress inks, and have celebrated that by making a pink card. Excited that there finally excists a decent pink colour without having to mix (less work-me happy :) ). Victorian velvet has the most beautiful shade of pink!! Have made a card using Maya's sketch at sketch saturday this week.
Patterned papers are from Maja design and Papirdesign, and I cut the scalloped circle using my cricut (Mini Monograms). Sentiment is from Norsk stempelblad.

The supercute stamp from Whiff of joy is coloured with distress inks and waterbrush, and the main colours are the new Victorian velvet (pink) and Stormy sky (blue):



Have also used the sketch when decorating the inside, with sentiment stamp from Stempelglede. The panel for the personal message opens up, so that I will have more space to write:



Sketch also used for backside, personal stamp from Scrapmagasinet:

SOUS - March 5th - Plane spotter

It is only tuesday, and I have already finished the challenge at Stuck on U Sketches (so proud right now). This week they had a great sketch from Becky Fleck pagemaps, and as an extra touch you are supposed to use bling (which we of course love!!). Finally got to make something out of this cute picture of Konstanse at Bodø Airshow back in 2008, and I finally found use for these quite flashy papers which have been in my box of papers for a looong time (cannot remember the producer right now, but know I got them in an LRS kit. Title is BTW cut from lyrical letters

It is ot easy to see in the picture, but the frame I have made around the picture actuallt glitters. Hand drew little circles, filled them with my white sakura gel pen and put white stickles on top. The ribbon above the picture is the arm band from the airshow.

For a little more bling you can see that the cute little airplanes from New arrival have got pink bling-windows (kaizercraft rhinestones - I love them):
