Blooming Mystery Blues 💙

 

Kortet mitt er DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #226. 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. Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være! 💙 Jeg har lagd et kort der jeg brukte Blooming Mystery (den blå versjonen), og jeg har også hatt det moro med en ny favoritt hobby ~ Resin! Skriver litt om det nedenfor 😀

 

'This card is a portable hug'.
'If friends were flowers ... I would've picked you!'

My DT card for this fortnights challenge #226. at Creative Fingers has floral motifs from a kit by our new sponsor (who is also one of my fellow DT's) Anne Constantly-Carding! She's selling beautiful digital kits & paperpacks through CraftsUPrint, and the three 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 💙

Soooo... I too got bit by the resin bug! 🤩 It looks so fun in the gazillion videos on youtube, so for about a year now I have been wanting to try it. Some of the top enablers I would like to point out is: Pouring your heart out, Resin As You Wish, Sveta Fresh, and Steve McDonald Arts and Crafts.
I have bought supplies for it every now and then, but never really dared to step into it.. Thought I would start with the 'easy & quick' one, wich is UV-resin. Used a nail UV lamp and a UV resin to create theese little pearly half beads as well as the pendant you see below, wich my mum will get. Not going with the card, just wanted to show it off here since I made it at same time.
My first resin projects! There will be many more, got lots new moulds and 3 litres of crystal resin, then I wont be limited to clear moulds. I already had a whole lot of glitters and alcohol inks in my stash, so I found it easy to make something pretty, once I just dared to begin! 💙 And I do have many beautiful Prima moulds, some very intricate ones that I haven't had much luck with my airdry clay in.. getting stuck in thin nooks n crannys! I cant wait to create durable embellishments to use in my creations all the time 👍

Steampunk Anime!

Er veldig glad i steampunk og anime filmer, spesielt fra studio Ghibli (se lengre ned) så med dette anime motivet, ble det et steampunk kort for ukens utfordring hos Creative Fingers #56. Vi er sponset av Scrapper's Delights, og som alltid er det 'Lag-hva-du-vil' med et valgfritt tema som denne gangen er å bruke 'sirkler/rund pynt' =＾● ⋏ ●＾=

Really went all steampunk with this card! Love steampunk, and especially the anime steampunk style ~ I'm a big fan of Studio Ghibli & Hayao Miyazakis worlds like that of Howls moving castle, Porco Rosso, Laputa/Castle in the sky, Nausicaä of The Valley of The Wind and others ~ lots of trailers on youtube! 

This weeks challenge #56. at Creative Fingers is sponsored by Scrapper's Delights, and the Theme is as always Anything Goes, with an optional twist this week of using 'any round embelishment' on your project. You are most welcome to join in! :)

Stamping with Steven.. again :)

Jeg simpelthen elsker dette stemplet! Søk på 'Steven' i bloggen min ~ så ser du hvor mye *lol*  :) Et veldig enkelt kort til meg å være ~ passer ikke med så mye stæsj til guttekort... Men masser av tøffe maskuline stempler på kortet veier opp for fraværet av stæsj ;)

Siden dette var et staffeli konfirmantkort lagde jeg en pengelomme på innsiden, som i de aller fleste kort jeg lager til spesielle anledninger ~ helst litt diskré, i tilfelle det ikke blir en pengegave.

Inside detail: Money pocket

Simply adore this stamp ~ if u search the name 'Steven' you'll see just how much *lol* :) This is a very C&S easel card for me actually.. I weighed up for the lack of stash by using a dozen stamps on it though ;)

Confirmation Easel Card ~ for a Boy!

Da dama til en av brødrene mine bestillte et staffeli Konfirmasjons kort for en gutt som skulle konfirmeres på Fredag, visste jeg dette stemplet ville være midt i blinken. Og kortet ble veldig godt mottatt :) Har brukt stemplet flere ganger før med stor suksess! (se tag: Confirmation) Så all ære til stempel produsentene! :)

This easel card was made as a comissoned card for a boys confirmation day last Friday, given from one of my brothers girlfriend & their family ~ and I've been told it was a hit.. So I'm very satisfied with the outcome, but all credit goes to theese awesome stamps ~ my favourites to use on male confirmation cards! :) 
I've used this one, 'Steven' before on cards (check out the 'Confirmation' tag to see previous cards), and while I was at it I colored in some more images of the same ~ so there will be more soon!
