Winnie the Pooh card 🐝

Er litt på etterskudd, vært bortreist denne uka som reisefølge til moren min som har hatt en øyeoperasjon! Alt gikk heldigvis bra og det er deilig å være hjemme igjen 🧡

Confirmation card ~ Birds in my hair

 

Konfirmasjonskortet mitt her er et jeg lagde for en tid tilbake, men aldri vist frem på bloggen. Vært avglemt i en mappe på laptopen, og det er jo synd for jeg var jo kjempefornøyd med det og det fortjener å bli vist frem ♥ Har sladdet noe av teksten inni for jeg tok bildet først etter at jeg hadde skrevet en hilsen til konfirmanten :)

Siden formen min ikke er noe særlig, ryggen min er kjempevond og føler ikke for å sitte på scrapperommet... så blir dette kortet mitt DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #207. denne gang! Angelique har sponset utfordringen med en flott premie! Dermed har vi hatt fritt frem med kreasjonene. Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være!

 

..

I made this confirmation easel card a good while back, but it's never been shown online as it was forgotten in a folder on my laptop. Thought I'd show it off now as I'm in no shape to be crafting at the moment... my back is such a pain in the ass.. (no pun intended lol) and also its one I was very happy with how it it turned out, and it would be a shame to never show it :)

So it's my inspirational DT card for this fortnights challenge #207. at Creative Fingers, wich is sponsored with a fab prize from our Angelique. As always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations ♥

I have censored the places where I already had written a greeting before taking the photos. The stamped inside text says 'Big Hugs & Congratulations on your day', and there is a pocket at the top to hold money or a giftcard....

Pink, Grey & Silver combo ~ Confirmation easel card

 

Jeg er veldig glad i å lage staffeli kort som dette, spesielt til anledninger som konfirmasjon, dåp og bryllup. Det blir alltid en hit hos mottakeren og gjestene på festen ~ og et slikt kort passer perfekt som dekorasjon på et bord med gaver og kort :)

Likte veldig godt fargekombinasjonen rosa, grå og sølv ~ blir nok flere kort med disse fargene sammen :) Konfirmant kortet er mitt DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #159. Vi er sponset av Angelique for denne utfordringen, så vi har hatt fritt valg å bruke hva vi allerede har av motiver. Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være ♥

I love making easel-cards, especially for events like confirmation, baptism or weddings. They always go over very well with the recipients and the people at the party ~ and is a nice decoration piece on the table where all the cards n gifts are displayed :) 

The pink, grey & silver combo is a pretty one, wich I really liked alot. Thinking of doing more cards with theese colors! My confirmation easel-card is my DT creation for this fortnights challenge #159. at Creative Fingers. We're kindly sponsored by our Angelique this time, and as always it is an 'Anything goes theme'. You are more than welcome to join with your creations ♥

I was asked to make this card for the grand-daughter of one of my mums friends. And whenever I get requests like this, I want to know about special hobbies/interests and favourite colors, and if the card shall have a money/giftcard pocket or not. For example, this girl is a bit of a tomboy, loves the color grey, silver & pink, football, singing and music. And I got a photo of her as a child, wich I edited with a pretty photomask to remove the 'noisy' background, and used as the main image. It gives it a special meaning for the giver and the recipient. (Image is censored).

Attention please, challenge moderators/commenters: my card was made quite a long time ago, but has never been shown online. Forgot about it (as some time had to pass before showing it so the recipient would not see it..) and I only found and edited the photos now. So in that sense I regard it as still 'new' ~ but I will understand if you think it disqualifes my entry ~ if so just skip it :)

Marianne Design Folder DF3413 Hearts border die.

Essentials/Adhesives: Bonefolder. Gluedots. Scor-pal Sookwang Double sided tape. High-Tack Double Sided Red Tape (Red Liner/Stix2/Miracle tape).
Techniques/Mediums:  I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink pad 'hickory smoke' to distress image and papers. It doesn't show very well in the photos, but I stamped the girl stamp inside the card with the grey ink, then heat embossed with a Versamark inkpad, a heat gun tool & clear embossingpowder from Ranger.
The easel card is simply scored in half twice, once to make a folded card, then a second time on the middle of the front flap. I diecut the stand-up helpers two thirds of the way down on the second cover of the card. A formula that has worked well for all my easel-cards, either with stand-up helper dies like here, or with a barrier like flowers or other 3D elements to keep the easel in a locked position.

Penguin's Winter Fun

 

Det kjempesøte pingvin motivet på julekortet mitt er et stempel fra Whiff of Joy og Alison Acton. WOJ har dessverre har sluttet som butikk, men mange fører fremdeles stempler fra dem (helt til det går tomt).. PapirPlaneten har ganske mange igjen :)

Alison Acton går under nicket @dooomcat på nett, og hun har en helt hysterisk morsom tegneserie ~ Bearnuts ~ som du kan lese helt fra begynnelsen på denne siden. NB: ikke ment for sarte sjeler ;)

The supercute penguin motif on my christmascard is an old rubberstamp from Whiff of Joy, who's webshoppe sadly no longer exists. But there are still many stores who still have them in stock if you search around for it!

The artist behind the motif is Alison Acton, and although I don't believe she's licensing her art as stamps anywhere, she still creates fanart and images you can get on tees, I got a couple cool ones in my always growing tee-stash ;)  
She goes by @doomcat online and also has THE funniest webcomic, super weird and nerdy, so dark sometimes, and absolutely not for the faint hearted.. ;)  Bearnuts ~ wich you can read from the beginning on this page here.

Arabian Nights ~ Once Upon a time...

 

Igjen har jeg funnet frem Hero Arts sitt klubb nydelige klubbkit med '1001 natt' tema dies og stempler fra desember ifjor, denne gang sammen med et par av mine absolutt eldste stempler ~ All Night Media øyenstikkeren må vel være rundt 20 år gammelt for det var allerede et godt brukt stempel da jeg kjøpte det for mer enn ti år siden, og både Lazar StudioWerx snirkel stemplet og Whiff of Joy jenta inni er fra stempelsett jeg kjøpte i 2010! 
De holder seg godt :) Selv om jeg nok har ti ganger flere digitale stempler, så er det fremdeles mine kjære gummistempler jeg elsker mest ♥

I have yet again taken out and played with my fabulous Scheherazade / Arabian nights theme Hero Arts Monthly clubkit from december last year ~ this time pairing it with a couple of my oldest stamps of my collection. The All Night Media dragonfly has got to well around 20 years old by now, as it was already old and well used when I bought it second-hand more than ten years ago. And both the swirl stamp from Lazar StudioWerx and the Whiff of Joy girl inside my card is of a stampset I bought back in 2010! All three gone out of business ages ago...
Talking about oldies but goodies! :) Even if I probably have ten times more digistamps than I do rubber and clear, the sweet rubberstamps will always be my not-so-secret-hoarding-addiction and absolute favourites ♥
