Fairy 💗 Valentine

 

Fikk januars Hero Arts MMH kit for noen dager siden og bare måtte bruke den nydelige nøkkelhull diesen med en gang! 💗 Vakreste cover diesen jeg noengang har hatt! Ser så mange bruksområder for den, ikke bare til Valentine eller kjærlighets temaer ~ Alice in wonderland, Den hemmelige hagen, tilogmed Stephen Kings Dark Tower serie med boka 'Wind through the keyhole' gir meg idéer!

For dette kortet, DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #224., har jeg brukt et gammelt glansbilde jeg har hatt liggende i årevis ~ vi brukte å bytte disse når jeg var liten ~ denne siden er en kjempefin kilde til alt om glansbilder! 😊 Vår DT Angelique er sponsor denne gang, og som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema. Velkommen skal du være 💗

I got the new Hero Arts MMH kit for january a few days ago, and I just had to play with it immediately! So gorgeous, probably the prettiest cover die I own now 💗 I can see so many uses for it, not just for valentines or love themed cards ~ Alice in wonderland, the Secret garden, even Stephen Kings Dark Tower series gives me ideas! Wind through the keyhole is one of the books, and an ongoing theme in the series are doors that leads to different worlds.

For this card though, my DT inspiration for Creative Fingers #224., I have used a really old 'glansbilde' wich is a vintage glossy and embossed scrap image thats already diecut and comes typically in sheets where images are connected with just a few tabs, and u snip them apart. We used to collect and swap theese as kids.. way back 30-40 years ago 😊 This page is a great source of information about them if you want to know more or just reminisce!
Our DT Angelique is sponsoring with a lovely prize this time, and as always we're an anything goes themed challengeblog. You are more than welcome to join with your creations 💗...

Romantic floral weddingcards

 

Trengte påfyll av bryllupskort i esken min med ferdige kort ~ alltid lurt å ha noen på lur, siden det er bryllup, dåp og konfirmant kort jeg oftest får spørsmål om å lage, gjerne på veldig kort varsel :) 

Når jeg lager bryllupskort så går jeg oftest automatisk til de klassiske røde blomster, hvit og krem fargede papirer, gull eller sølv detaljer, og gjerne litt bling, bånd eller blonder. Det er en god og velkjent romantisk formel som alltid slår godt an hos mottakerne ♥ 

🎁 Har du forresten sett at jeg har to bloggcandy'er med masse flott stæsj? Ta en titt her og bli med i trekningene!

I needed some weddingcards to replenish my ready-made box of cards ~ as It is always good to have some ready to go. As well as baptism and confirmation cards, theese are the ones I'm asked the most often to create, and often on very short notice :)
 
When I create weddingcards I usually go for the classic red flowers, white & creme colored papers, gold or silvery details, and to add to the romantic feel ~ lace or elegant ribbons n gems. A combination that never fails to make the recipients happy ♥

Have you joined in my awesome Blogcandies yet? 🎁 Take a look here :) 

Watercoloring is my favourite way of coloring images, and this is a superfun technique to do! I made a little tutorial of how I colored the Tim Holtz flowery background stamped image, with drawing directly onto the stamp with my distress markers, and spritzing water before stamping, to get the watercolored look.

Greetings from the North Pole!

 

... og et riktig Godt Nytt år! 🎉 Hoppet visst over jula her på bloggen, så jeg fikk ikke ønsket dere en God Jul ~ men det er mulighet for en gave fra meg om du vinner i en av mine bloggcandyer som du finner her ♥ Håper dere har hatt en fin juletid :) 
Helsa mi har ikke vært så god så jeg har ikke følt for å blogge så mye ~ men det ble jo lagd noen julekort på gode dager, i det supre nye scrapperommet mitt i ny-huset! Har lovet bilder ~ de kommer så snart jeg føler det ser presentabelt ut ;)

Disse kortene ble stort sett lagd med Hero Arts sine flotte klubb-kits, det fra oktober i 2017 og det som kom i oktober i fjor. Stemplene og diesene passet veldig godt sammen! Se bilder av kit'sene i bunnen av bloggposten.  

...and a Happy New Year! 🎉 I apparently skipped right over christmas here on the blog, so I didn't get to wish all of you Happy Holidays ~ but you could still get a present from me if you happen to win one of my blogcandies! And I hope you had a wonderful christmas time ♥ 
My health haven't been so good for a long time, so not felt much up for blogging and commenting... but there was ofcourse time for making christmas cards on my good days, in my new craftroom.. Wich is improving all the time, and I promised to take photos, they will come as soon as I think the room looks neat & presentable enough ;)

Theese two cards were pretty much made using the My Monthly Hero Arts kits. The one from october 2017 & last years october kit stamps & dies matched perfectly together. Photos of the kits in the info section at the bottom.
