Nautical Confirmation Tag! ⚓

Denne helga har mitt yngste søskenbarnet sin konfirmasjon, og den maritime tagen jeg viser frem er lagd av restepapir fra invitasjonskortene jeg lagde iløpet av Bikubens online vårscrapp i mars. Tenker jeg skal lime et gavekort bakpå eller en pengelomme med noe oppi som gave! 💗

Inspirasjons bidrag for Creative Fingers utfordring #254. hvor vår DT Angelique er sponsor denne gang med en flott premie, og som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema. Velkommen skal du være! 😊

 

A nautical themed tag made with the paperscraps i got from making the invitations back in march, for my cousins confirmation day wich is coming up this weekend. I'm thinking I will add a giftcard or moneyenvelope to the back as my gift to him 💗

My DT creation for this fortnights challenge #254. at Creative Fingers. Our DT Angelique is sponsoring with pretty heart embellishments! As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations 😊..

paperscraps cut into similar sized strips,
then stuck down on adhesive to make a

new background paper!

 

I used a rectangle die to cut out a tag and then ran it thru my bigshot with an embossingfolder. Platina inkagold wax was then added to the raised pattern with the best tool ever made ~ my fingers!

Techniques/Mediums: Having lots of paperscraps from previous confirmation creations ~ i took a piece of copypaper, added a sheet of strong wide 5 inch scorpal tape adhesive, then stuck all the scrap lengths of paper diagonally. Cut it down to a tag shape and punched a hole in the top with my silentsetter. I then used Viva Decor 'platinum' inka gold wax rubbed on top of the raised dryembossed texture and diecut ~ see photos of the process above. Added a white bazzill cardstock to the back and doodled the edges with a Sakura Permapaque blue metallic marker.

Autumnal fairy card 🍂

● As You Like It ~ Favourite Autum Or Winter (& why)! [Oct.6th.]
AUTUMN maybe a bit more than winter?.. Both are actually equally my fave seasons though, far above summer and spring, but if pressed, I choose autumn/fall due to the gorgeous nature colors, sleeping better (land of the midnight sun here u know, too bright in summer), the temperature of the season is juuuust right for me. Not too hot, not too cold. Mosquitos be gone! Also ~ Halloween time (not celebrating but love the genre) is in the autumn! :)
● Arty Divas ~ September: Anything Goes [Oct.18th.]

● Cardz 4 Galz #156. ~ Autum/Fall Leaves! [Oct.6th.]

Party Kittens!

For noen uker siden fikk jeg godstolen min tilbake fra reparasjon ~ endelig! Har savnet den i mange måneder, en god stund før jul knakk den sammen og trengte sveising under setet. Arvet stolen fra bestemor da hun døde i '94, og den må være av ekstremt bra kvalitet siden den har vart så lenge uten å gå istykker!  Moren min sier at bestemor fikk den helt tidlig på åttitallet!
Er kjempeglad å få den tilbake, men har ikke hatt så mye mulighet til å glede meg over det ettersom helsa uansett har vært laber..  og så har jeg mista litt scrappelysten... Håper 'mojoen' kommer snart tilbake! Stolen er iallefall på plassen sin, så får vi se om det blir noe scrapping i påska! :)

Kortet mitt idag er DT inspirasjon for utfordring #205. hos Creative Fingers. Vi blir sponset av vår egen DT Angelique, med et flott metall blomst sett! Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være ♥

 

I got my good old craft chair back from repair some weeks ago, but haven't been in best health of late so I still haven't gotten into the 'groove' yet. It tends to be like that when you're not been able to craft for a long period ~ need to get my mojo back! At least my grandmas chair is in my room waiting for me now :) 

It's actually amazing it only broke down for the first time around christmas last year ~ after beeing used several times each week for more than 30 years! My mum says that grandma got the chair in the early 80's! Thats quality for ya! Don't make them like that anymore thats for sure ♥ I had to take a photo to show you the wonder chair lol :)

On this card I've used one of my oldest wood-mounted rubberstamps ~ I have so many of them that really needs to be used more! Absolutely LOVE theese fun  party cats :)

My card is DT inspiration for our challenge #205. at Creative Fingers, and we're sponsored by our own DT Angelique this time with some gorgeous metal flowers. As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations ♥

♥ God Påske ~ Happy Easter ♥
