Denne gangen har vi to kjempeflotte sponsorer ~ Bugaboo Stamps & Rebecca Sinz fra ElvenStar Art ~ for Creative Fingers sin utfordring #133.
Må bare beklage at DT bidraget mitt er en par dager på etterskudd, har hatt mye plager med hendene mine. (psoriasis++) Skulle ønske jeg var god på å lage kjappe clean & simple kort, men dette motivet fortjente absolutt mere tid og bling! ♥
Jeg har brukt et Sweet Pea Stamps gummistempel fra Rebecca Sinz. Motivene hennes kan kjøpes som digitale stempler på etsy, og dette motivet fins som 'Coloring Page Printable Fairy Toad Frog Fantasy Art'.
Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være :)
Sorry for beeing a couple days late with my DT card for this fortnights challenge #133. at Creative Fingers. Having dealing with alot of health issues lately, and my hands has been very painful (psoriasis++), super difficult to craft when you can't bend your fingers ;)
We are again so lucky to have two sponsors: Bugaboo Stamps & ElvenStar Art ♥ and as always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations!
I bought a new fun Balloon Step-Up Sizzix Die (it's on sale right now!) and thought it would be perfect to use with the toad and fairy ♥ The round shapes on each fold is actually meant to have balloon diecuts on them, but it can be used for many themes :)
You can see the designer of the die Stephanie Barnard show it here on youtube.
The gorgeous IndigoBlu gilding flakes has been added to the diecuts the quick and easy way ~ super strong adhesive tape!
Think it must be the most time consuming card I've ever done, started it a week ago! Although it's an easy fold card to make with the sizzix die, cranking the bigshot was the worst on my hands, and was only able to spend 15 minutes in my craftroom at a time. On the bright side, it turned out very pretty! :)
My main motif is a rubberstamp from Rebecca Sinz, the artist behind ElvenStar Art. It's an old Sweet Pea Stamp, but they have since closed shop, and are not so easy to find anymore. She sells some of her motifs as digistamps and coloringpages (find the fairy toad image here) in her etsyshop linked below :)

Så, endelig er sommern kommet til Nord-Norge også... Men huffameg, det så varmt at jeg smelter vekk! Hetebølgen fra Russland kunne jeg gjerne ønsket søringene fikk istedenfor oss.. Kroppen min tåler ikke 26+ grader (og 35 i sola!), er allerede plaget av hormonelle hetebølger, så jeg må bare beklage til alle som er hoppende glade ~ for jeg ønsker denne hetebølgen var over NÅ ;)
Huff. Rett fra kjøleskap-tempraturer til sydenvarme.. Glad jeg har en isbit maskin og ei svær elektrisk vifte ♥
Kortet mitt er DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #132. fra vår sponsor Wink Wink Ink. Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være :)
The summer has finally arrived in northern Norway, and I am not well pleased... It is too darn hot! It's a russian heatwave sweeping over us, and beeing used to refridgerator-and-freezer-temperatures so far this year (wich suits me just fine having hormonal hot flashes and issues), it is too much to take in. 26+ degrees in the shade and about 35 degrees on the sun-lit porch (not going out that way for sure)... I am melting! Could not have preservered without my big electric fan and ice-cube-making machine ♥
My DT card for this fortnights challenge #132. over at Creative Fingers has a supercute squirrel motif from our sponsor Wink Wink Ink, and as always it is an 'Anything goes theme'. You are more than welcome to join with your creations ♥

Papirplanetens utfordring #18. ~ for juni mnd. har 'Bryllup ~ bruk blonde og/eller bånd' som tema. Du kan finne flere av stemplene og dies jeg har brukt hos Papirplaneten, linker nederst i bloggposten. Vi håper føler deg inspirert til å delta med dine kreasjoner hos oss ♥
Mitt kort er i shabby chic stilen, og som hoved motiv har jeg brukt et av mine absolutte favorittmotiver
til bryllup ♥ Har lagd mange kort med dette stemplet fra Kort & Godt, spesielt etter jeg
fikk MISTI'en, og det plutselig ble lett og få et fint, jevnt trykk. 3-4
stemplinger med grå pute, og en gang med versamark puta, klart
embossingpulver og så varme-embossing ~ for å gi kortet et litt mere eksklusivt preg :)
This shabby chic themed weddingcard is my DT-inspiration for PapirPlaneten, an norwegian challengeblog and craft shoppe. Our theme for june is weddings, lace &/or ribbon. You are more than welcome to join with your creations, but the main prize is only shipped within Norway.
The main motif is a stamp from Kort & Godt, and it's one of my most used, especially for weddingcards. The heat-embossed silhouette looks so gorgeous in real life, hard to capture in the photo. I would not have been able to get such an impression without my MISTI ♥ took 3-4 stampings to get an even look, then once with the versamark, clear embossingpowder and heat tool. And it stamps perfectly each time :)
