WCD ~ Christmas cards 🎄

Lørdag var det 'World Cardmaking Day' og jeg lagde to kort til TPC Magazine sitt facebook event scrappetreff. Artikkel med Galleri og Top3 blir lagt ut den 10 oktober, med enda en vinner ~ og jeg kommer til å oppdatere med link her. De første vinnerne var lagt ut i egen bloggpost her på søndag kveld :)

Oppdatering: Topp 3 og Galleri fra TPC! Disse kortene er i Galleri: Teknikk.

Kjempemoro å delta og se alt det flotte som ble lagd iløpet av dagen ♥ Mye å se på rundt om på nett denne helga også, men jeg var spesielt fascinert av Tim Holtz sin live på youtube med de nye hus-diesene! Oj, det blir hardt for lommeboka, men det blir nok julegave til meg selv ;)

Det var tre utfordringer, og jeg valgte en av dem ~ Teknikk: Fargelagt motiv på kort ~ og distress ink med akvarell maling som er min favorittmåte å fargelegge stempeltrykk på. Ble to julekort for det trenger man alltid flere av! Og motiv denne gangen er med søte Penny Black og hÄnglar motiv ♥ ♥ ♥

Saturday was the 'World Cardmaking Day' and I participated in a Cyber Crop that the scandinavian TPC Magazine held in an event on Facebook. There were so many awesome creations and I had fun making theese two cards for one of the three challenges ~ Technique: Make a card with a handcolored motif.
Winners was chosen >on this blogpost here< sunday night, and on october 10th there will be another winner with a gallery and top3 chosen creations at TPC wich I will update here with a link. 

UPDATE: Top 3 and a Gallery was posted at TPC here.

There were lots of fun lives throughout saturday and the rest of the weekend dedicated to WCD, however the one video I was most facinated by was the Tim Holtz live on youtube. Those little house dies are amazing! Definitly going to have to give them to myself for christmas! :D

I ended up making two christmascards, because you always need more of those! The watercolored motifs are of the supercute Penny Black and the sweet girl is an old hÄnglar & stÄnglar stamp ~ now renamed as hÄnglar & Wings ♥

Lucky Troll Christmas card!

 

Vært lenge siden siste bloggpost nå fra meg, har ikke vært så mye scrapping etter at 'bestemorstolen' min (arvet en ergonomisk arbeidsstol fra ho bestemor) fikk en knekk i rammen under setet og må sveises! Broren min tok den med seg for reparering for noen uker siden og imellomtiden har jeg bare en stol som ikke er bra for ryggen min :( Har lett etter noe lignende men finner ingen som er like god å sitte på, bortsett fra et par som koster like mye som en pent brukt bil! .. Så jeg håper på at gostolen min kan fikses ♥

Husker dere lykketrollene vi 'alle' hadde på 70 og 80-tallet? Det sukkersøte lykketroll motivet er fra Bugaboo Stamps som er vår flotte sponsor denne gang hos Creative Fingers #197. Vi har som alltid et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema på vår utfordringblogg og alle er velkommen til å delta :)

 

 

It's been quite a while since my previous blogpost, as there has not been much scraptime for me since my 'grandma-chair' (inherited from my grandma an ergonomic workchair) broke in the frame under the seat and has to get welded. My brother took it away to be repaired some weeks ago and meanwhile I only have a really bad for my back chair to use :( Been searching for something as good to buy, but found nothing aside from a few thats as expensive as a small used car! .. So I'm hoping my good chair will be able to get fixed ♥

The supersweet troll motif from Bugaboo I used on my DT card I have had for a long time now and been wanting to use for a fun christmas card. Finally colored her up! She reminds me of those cute lucky troll dolls we had back in the 70s-80s! Did you have one? Mine had crazy rainbowcolored hair and was attached to my school backpack. Thinking I need to make a rainbowcolored troll non-christmas card sometime too! :) 

Bugaboo Stamps is sponsoring this fortnights challenge #197. at Creative Fingers, and as always it is an 'Anything goes theme'. You are more than welcome to join with your creations ♥

Yellow & Gold Confirmation card

Designteamet fikk bruke fritt av hva vi allerede har av motiver, og jeg har brukt et nydelig silhouette stempel fra et av Kort & Godt flotte konfirmasjon stempelsett. Syntest det ble ekstra stilig med et tykt lag av gull embossing pulver!

My DT inspiration for Creative Fingers challenge #147. wich is sponsored by our Angelique with a fab stampset for the lucky winner! As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations :)

The team had free choice to use any motifs we wanted on this challenge, and I have used a beautiful silhouette stamp from Kort & Godt as my main motif. I double-heat-embossed it in gold, so it really looks very blingy and fancy ~ perfect for a teenage girls confirmation ♥

Here you can see how it looks from the side and from the back.. and further down, there is an inside view as well :)
