Don't forget to fly 🦉

Var med på Bikubens Vår-scrapp treff på facebook første helga i mars, og vi arrangerte å bytte tags og ATC'er i etterkant av treffet. Den nederste taggen ble lagd under treffet så den er ikke lagt inn på noen utfordringer.
Viser frem disse som mine DT inspirasjons bidrag for Creative Fingers utfordring #274. Jeg er sponsor denne gang! Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være 💗

Alcohol inked backgrounds without the inks?

Hvor ble sommeren av? Dagene går så fort forbi! Er nå iallefall glad for at de ekstremvarme dagene er over ... forhåpentligvis! Kroppen funker rett og slett ikke når det er så varmt, og hodet klarer seg ikke så bra heller, hadde migrene før helga så er noe seint ute med kortene mine... Heldigvis har jeg en god bordvifte og et kjøleteppe som egentlig er et teppe for hunder, men er absolutt en livredder for oss også! 🫠 Det har en gele inni som aktiveres og kjøler ned - og kan brukes igjen og igjen.

Kortene er DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #260., som denne gang er sponset av vår DT Anne Constantly-Carding! Hun selger digitale kits / ark pakker gjennom CraftsUPrint, og gir bort tre flotte digikits som premie. Jeg har brukt et av dem som heter 'Pastel Hues Alcohol Ink Background Set, nydelige ark! Printet ut med helt vanlig skriver blekkpatroner. Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være! 💗

Where did the summer go? Days has just blown by so fast! I am happy that the sweltering hot days are over though ... hopefully! I have a hard time coping when temperatures so high, not able to function at all. 🫠 Also made me have a migraine before the weekend so I'm a tad late with my cards... Luckily i got an electric fan and a coolingblanket! Well its actually a coolingblanket for dogs with a gel inside that activates by touch and goes chilly, to be reused again and again, has been a total lifesaver for me!

My cards are DT inspiration for this fortnights challenge #260. at Creative Fingers and showcases beautiful digital papers from the 'Pastel Hues Alcohol Ink Background Set.' Just think of it, beeing able to pretty up your cards with alcohol inked backgrounds, but without the inks! Designed by our sponsor Anne Constantly-Carding, who is selling beautiful digital kits & paperpacks through CraftsUPrint, and three of the kits that the DT's has showcased this time will be the prize! As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations 💗

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! 😊

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.
