Some of my Penny Black sweethearts!

Denne ukens utfordring #39. hos the CuttlebugSpot er å vise frem innsiden av et kort man har laget. Ble veldig fornøyd med dette jeg, men jeg pynter alltid innsiden på kortene mine! :) Er ikke Penny black musene skjønne? Jeg får aldri nok av disse stemplene!
This week's challenge is all about the inside of the card at the Cuttlebug Spot challenge #39. Here I have used some of my treasured sweethearts - the Penny Black mice! Some of the sweetest stamps I know of! :)

Paper: White Bazzill cardstock, DCWV - sweet neapolitan gltr., and inside a Noteworthy diecut journaling paper from M.M.
Embellishments: As always (almost) I distress my cards with my small cats eye pads - don't know what I'd do without them! And I've used Spellbinder Nestabilities - Labels 4 on the front stampmotif.

Fairy Song Art Cards!

Drittvær! :( *snøft* Nå høljer det ned igjen... og leddene mine verker av væromslag - blir ikke mye kortlaging da.. heller ikke noe langtur, som vi hadde planer om. Den får vente på godværet - om det kommer! ;) *lol*

Her er et par sommerlige kort, som passet så fint til siste utfordring hos A spoon full of sugar: Challenge 58 - Summer. Her har jeg virkelig kost meg med akvarellmalingen! :) Fairy Song Art stemplene fra Susana's Custom Art & Card Design, er utrolig flotte å male på, med så flotte detaljer! *drømmesegbort*

I paint my stamp-motifs with a mix of aquarelle paints, distress inks & H2O.

Cute Door Signs :)

Tenkte jeg skulle prøve noe nytt! Disse dørskiltene er veldig enkle å lage. Først lagde jeg en mal av papp, 8x20 cm. Jeg bruker en passer til hullene, og skjærer ut med skalpell. Tekstene har jeg skrevet ut fra Word. Det fins SÅ mange flotte fonter rundt om på nett, jeg godt over 1000 fonter på pc'n, det er bare å velge å vrake :) Dafont er et godt sted å begynne å samle fonter, eneste problemet er at man lett kan bli avhengig ;)
Fronts ................. Backs

Fronts ................. Backs

I'm trying out something new, for me that is - I've seen lots of sweet doorsigns others made, so now I'm having a go! The texts reads: 'Welcome' on the front, and 'Stop! Don't disturb' on the backs. I'm quite addicted to fonts - and Dafont is a good place to find them! I got more than a 1000 on my computer - something for any theme :)

Stamps/Image: Winter Elves - Illumination from Pollycraft Designs, & Shine - Anya stamp from the greeting Farm. And the Inque Boutique - Bella Flora mini set.
Paper: Misc. scrapping papers. Bazzill, Sassafraslass - Fawnd of you.
Embellishments: Various stickers & embellies, tattoo images (yes they can be used on paper, not just on your kids skin :) The cute bear is from a 3Dsheet, Panduro. EK success Retro Flower punches (whale of a punch, medium, and small)

Gorjuss Sugar Purrfect Friend :)

Regn regn og atter regn.... Vi har hatt en herlig sommer så langt - men nå er det som om vi får alt regnværet på en gang!

We sure are - right now we have a period with rain rain and more rain... but hopefully good weather will come again, and then we'll be off on a roadtrip up north.

Cupid Bug pop-out card

Har ikke laget mange slike 'pop-up & -out' kort før, men dette var veldig enkelt å lage. Bare rullet selve kortet gjennom cuttlebuggen med en nestabilities-dies, og pyntet litt - det som heter clean & simple kansje? :) Utfordringen på One Stop Craft Challenge #28 denne gangen er nettopp å kutte ut noe - rammer, pop-up effekt, osv. på kortet.
I love the cute bugs from Alota Rubberstamps! Have to get me some more soon :) The challenge at One Stop Craft Challenge #28 is to Cut It Out! So this card became a pop-out card.

Stamps/Image: Alota Rubberstamps - Cupid Bug. Magnolia - BakgrundsSwirl Bröllup. The text (unknown?) reads: I love you!

Paper: My Mind's Eye - Kaleidoscope 'Friends Dots/Blue Paper'
Embellishments: I've used the Cuttlebug and cut out the frame in the card with one of the dies from Spellbinder nestabilities Petite Scalloped Circle Large. The stampmotif is placed on the inside of the card, and has adhesive 3D-foam under to 'pop' it out of the card. Bazzill(?) brad, and the flower is from Prima.

Don't Quote me, but... Tag & Card

Tags lager jeg sjeldent, men dette stemplet fra PaperArtsy inspirerte meg! Og jeg trengte en fin liten hilsen til min bror og hans familie når de flyttet inn i sitt nye hus :) PaperArtsy lager utrolig flotte stempler, du kan betale med visa via paypal, og de sender internasjonalt - gode priser også! Fikk meg masse fine stempler derfra for en stund siden :) Jeg lagde disse med tanke på denne utfordringen hos Caardvarks challenge ~ Don't Quote me, but.. Benytt et vers eller sitat på et kort. Caardvarks challenge ~ Don't Quote me, but.. this time is to create a card incorporating a verse or quote, so i've used this fab stamp from Paper Artsy to make my tag and card :)

Stamps: House-stamp from PaperArtsy - Love & Kisses 1. Text stamp - Gratulerer (=Congratulations) I don't know where from. Handwritten is the words 'med nytt hjem!' = with a new home.
Papers: Basic Grey piece of scrap paper - think it's from the Stella Ruby line. And Sassafraslass - Fawnd of you, & Bazzill cardstock.
Embellishments: Prima flower, MM brad, Blondes from my mum :) I made the tag by drawing the outlines to the tag from a BG tag! And i've spritzed it with Tsukineko Walnut antiquing ink & H2O copper Shimmering mist. To color in the house on the card, I've used LePlume markers.

Toad-ally kissable!

Et par veldig enkle kort denne gang - vel,vel enkel og enkel.. for A spoon full of sugar utfordringen #50 ~ Touchy feely Texture, brukte jeg utrolig lang tid på å 'sy' gjennom bazzill hullene. Veldig greit med ferdige hull da! :) Til Creative Card Crew's # 9 - 'Everyone Emboss' brukte jeg lengre tid på å finne varmepistolen enn på selve kortet!!! *lol*
Papilio-Boy card: A spoon full of sugar utfordringen #50 ~ Touchy feely Texture. Great papers from Bazzill In Stitch'z - but it's a boring job to tread the yarn through all those holes *lol*
Toad-ally kissable card: Creative Card Crew's Challenge 9 - Everyone Emboss, was a challenge for me - since I had to look long and hard for my heatgun!!! It had gotten lost in the wilderness of scrappy things ;)

Stamps/Image: Papilio - Ole's lille lam (Oles little lamb) and I've used 2 stamps from Stempelhobby/Kin Flicks (no longer in business) plate 'Venn 1' by Ksenia - and it reads: 'To a good friend'. Whipper Snapper - Frog in love. The text is from High Hopes - toad-ally kissable. And the ribbon stamp is from Lazar StudioWERX Inc (no longer in business) - Vintage Stitchery.
Papers: Bazzill In Stitch'z Scallops (think it's stonewash), The red dotted one is from Panduro. The green papers on both cards was a pieces of scrap paper.

Transparent embossing powder on top of red ink - and the shaker-bubble is from Pebbles Inc: I kan' déé -Flowers.

Magnolia & RetroFlower card

Håper alle som titter innom har hatt ei fin påske med familiekos og god mat :) Ikke vært så mye tid til å scrappe og lage kort, men nå er produksjonen i full gang igjen. Bordet på scrappekjøkkenet mitt er overfylt av prosjekter! *lol* Her er ett kort som passet inn i A spoon full of sugars utfordring #47. To die for: Bruke puncher og/eller diecuts. Elsker mine retroflowers - og man kan bruke arkene som er igjen etter å trykket ut blomster også. Jeg liker å pynte innsiden av kortene også :)


Hope you all had a great easter! Been a while since I last blogged but here is one for the A spoon full of Sugar challenge #47. To die for - where we should use diecuts &/or punches. And i've punched some Retro flowers on a cardstock to make my card :) I like to decorate the whole card, makes it more of a special treat! :)

Stamps: the cute couple is a hÄnglar & stÄnglar stamp from the clubkit 'Till en vän'. And I've drawn in a nose and a mouth, to make them more alive! :) Magnolia - BakgrundsSwirl Bröllup. And inside from Eureka - Heart tree.
Papers: Bazzill cardstock only this time, with regular white copy paper for the inside.
Embellishments: I've punched the EK success Retro Flower punches (whale of a punch, medium, and small) on a cardstock, and glued a coordinating cardstock on the back. The centers and cheeks are made with glossy accents. 'Love' is handwritten. Distress ink watercoloring.

Congratulations Lora!!! & Happy Birthday to you too!

Créme Chérie keepsake box!

Kjempebillige små pynteesker! Jeg spiser sikkert en eller to slike oster i uka, og har begyndt å ta vare på alle tomeskene etter at jeg fant ut at de ville være utrolig lette å pynte.
Papir er lett og feste på dem siden de er lagd av papp, og det er en flott måte å bli kvitt mindre papirark som bruker å ligge igjen etter jeg har scrappet. Har laget en oppskrift på hvordan jeg lagde dem på engelsk, selv om akkurat denne osten er fra Tine har dem sikkert lignende oster i utlandet.
Bildene forklarer seg vel selv uansett Kansje en inspirasjon for å begynne å scrappe litt av tom-emballasjen istedenfor å kaste den i søpla? :)
Hope you've been inspired to not throw away empty cheese etc. food-containers!
The supplies I've used for theese boxes are;

Images: Mary Engelbreit paper pad - friendship. And some paperscraps.
Papers: K&Company - Brenda Walton Brianna Paper pad. Basic Grey - Stella Ruby - Fitting at Penny's. And Crate's Static Collection - reaction.
Embellishments: Tsukineko Walnut antiquing inks - Willow, Walnut and Cherry Blossom. H2O Shimmering mist - copper. And misc. ribbons and eyelets..

A low-carb treat - and a pink card!

Dette er fra nå av min favoritt dessert! Og omtrent ingen karbo i den - så for de som går på lav-karbo diett, (jeg har gått ned over 20 kg siden februar i fjor!) så er dette ett knalltips! (Men ikke overspise av dette da!)
* Visp fløte sammen med splenda (eller annen sukkererstatning)
* tilsett cottage cheese og rør lett rundt
* Mos frosne jorbær sammen med litt kokende vann
= NAM! Veldig likt riskrem!This is just SWEET! A very fast to do dessert - and it is SO yummy!
* Whip some cream with splenda (or other sugar-substitute)
* add Cottage cheese and stir abit
* Blend some frozen strawberries together with a little hot (boiling) water
And you'll be amazed! Very low on carbs for us who's loosing weight on the low-carb diet or Atkins!!! (I'm down 20+kg. since feb. of last year!)

---

Kortet mitt idag har visst litt av samme fargene som desserten min!!! *hihi* Utfordringen hos 2 sketches 4 you denne gangen er Kazan's Sketch #22 Se detaljer på engelsk :)
This card I've done using the challenge at 2S4Y Kazan's Sketch #22 Catagorie 1: Individual Card. It's perhaps inspired by my dessert? *lol* The card got a little wrong in the scan I think, 'cause the pink on the edges are more pink in RL - maybe it's the 3D effects that's doing it :( Anyways - pink is not my favorite color - but I need to use up some of my paper-scraps - been piling up on me! *lol* Prize for Card of the Week in this category is from Sakura - and I just love sakura pens - especially their white gel pen, super for highlighting an eye!

Stamps/Image: Penny Black stamp - Party Animals, Swirly stamp is 'Bakgrundswirl bröllup' from Magnolia. And the textstamp reads 'Happy Birthday', I think it's from Kort & Godt?
Paper: Bazzill, DCWV - sweet neapolitan gltr. And misc scrap papers.
Embellishments: 3D stickers is from Panduros Tilda collection 'knappor'/buttons.

Penny Black card & a Cuttlebug win!

Så moro å være en av de ti som vant den siste utfordringen på Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot! Med kortet jeg lagde til moren min - innlegg 16 mars :) Gleder meg til jeg mottar de digitale stemplene fra Sweet n Sassy stamps! Kjempesøte bilder de har!
Kortet i denne posten har faktisk et stempeltrykk som mamma har malt for meg, da vi var i syden i september/oktober. Jeg hadde med en hel masse stempeltrykk, akvarellmaling og distress ink putene mine :) Både jeg og mamma er ikke så kjempeglad i sola... Ja merkelig og dra til syden da ikke sant? Men vi hadde det kjempekos for det - når det var for varmt og sola stakk, så satt vi og koste oss inne og malte! *lol*

En kombinert utfordring denne gang, ABC challenge sin theme er F for Flowers, og Our creative corner er å kun bruke max 3 lag papir, og 1 pynt på kortet!

I'm thrilled to be one of the 10 winners of the Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot #22., because of my card to my mum! (blogged 16th of march) There were so many great cards, both from the DT's and the entries! I'll get some sweet digital images from Sweet n Sassy stamps, and I'm looking forward to trying them out :)

This card is actually made with a stampmotif that my mum have painted! She also love painting, so I had with me lots of supplies when we were on vacation on Gran Canaria in september/october last year - my distress inks, watercolors and stamp-motifs - made the days when the sun was schorcing hot berable! *lol* Not so much fans of sunbathing me and my mum :)

The challenge this time at ABC challenge is F for Flowers: flowers somewhere on your card or project., and on Our creative corner it's a limited supply challenge - max. 3 different layers paper (including your stamped image), 1 type of embellishment, and any stamps and sentiments are optional. I usually don't combine challenges, but there are no prizes on either, so it's only for fun! :)

Stamps/Image: Penny Black - Hedgehog visit. And the text-stamp is from Scrapmagasinet - plate 42B. Swirly stamp is 'Bakgrundswirl bröllup' from Magnolia.

Paper: Bazzill cardstock as backing, a Noteworthy diecut journaling paper from M.M., and aquarelle/watercolor paper.

Embellishments: A glittery heart button I got as a gift :)
