TPS Confirmand Easel Card

Det er veldig sjeldent at jeg bruker ferdige motiver på mine prosjekter, foretrekker absolutt å male dem selv, i de fargene jeg vil ha, og så er det jo så beroligende og deilig å sitte å male! 

Men av og til er det så kjekt å ha noe klart for å spare tid, spesielt når man trenger mange konfirmant kort i en fei ~ vil anbefale The Paper Shelter's motiver da man får både den digitale og fargelagte versjonen av motivene :) 

Vil også anbefale 'Stand Up Helpers' fra Elizabeth Craft Designs. Har lagd staffeli kort i mange år, men det har aldri vært så enkelt som med hjelp av disse diesene ♥ Klikk på bildet for en youtube-video! -->

I very rarely use ready-made motifs on my projects, I definitely prefer to paint them myself, getting the colors I wish, and it's so wonderfully soothing and rewarding to sit and color :)

However, sometimes it is just SO handy to have something already done to save time ~ then I would recomend The Paper Shelter's motifs, as you'll get both the digital and pre-colored version of their motifs. This is the beautiful 'Eva And Her Ferret', perfect for a confirmation card ♥ 

My tip for Top Tip Tuesday: I also recomend the 'Stand Up Helpers' dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs. As you see there is a leaf duo holding up my card, and it was super easy to do! Theese dies comes in sets with many shapes, and is really helpful in making easel cards. Check out this video on their youtube channel.
