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.

Sailboat trinket box

Hadde et ferdig stempeltrykk av en båt som passet så godt med fargene på arket jeg tenkte å bruke opp. Så det ble en liten sjømotiv eske! Hadde ikkenoe mal, bare kutt ivei.. og dermed ble det litt tull med lokket ~ men okay resultat til slutt :)

This box is made entirely freehand, using a cool reeeeally old paper, more than 5 yrs I think ~ and I've no idea who produced it (great quality!). Since I winged it on the measurements.. the lid had to be cut down with scissors to fit the text already stamped on... leaving jagged edges.. so the ribbon is mostly for covering up! *lol* :)

Monster Truck goes Vroom!

Et kort til en liten eller stor gutt! Det er Uutrolig mye plunder med småe QK deler.. Hadde ikke tenkt å bruke fullt så mye tid på kortet som jeg gjorde. Råstilig bil ~ for tålmodige mennesker! ;) Har funnet en flott ramme digi hos Dustin Pike som passer bra på denne typen kort, vanligvis går jeg for 15x15 cm. kort, men A6 str. funker også veldig greit ~ spesielt når jeg har et lager med kjedelige Hippopotamus kort..

A card for a little guy or a big one who digs cars and anything that goes Vrooom! This is an awesome QK die, but boy it's a really tricky construction getting all those parts together, patience is key here.. ;)

Amalia's ♥ Baby Carriage

 

Jeg har lagd en barnevogn til min søte niese Amalia, som kom til verden den 2. april, og dermed er ikke jeg alene om å være 'en forsinket aprilsnarr' som jeg har hørt hele livet *hehe* Jeg hadde bursdag den 5., og lille Amalia var jo en gledelig tantepresang! ~ vil du være med på bloggcandyen min å feire?  
Jeg brukte en tutorial fra Magnolia Ink bladet, mere info nederst i innlegget.

I have made this baby carriage for my sweet little niece Amalia ♥ who was born just a couple of days before my birthday ~ so it was double celebration time in my blogcandy ~ join up here! I used a tutorial in Magnolia Ink magazine to make this, see info at the bottom of the post.

And for the handlebar, I've recycled some blank plastic from some packaging material. All edges are distressed with Tim Holtz distress inks (tea dye I think) & tools.

PS: Jeg må absolutt presisere at jeg ikke har funnet på noe oppskrift til denne selv, jeg har sett slike vogner online men ikke hatt anledning til å lage en før nå. Jeg ble inspirert av den nydelige barnevogna i Camilla S. sin tutorial for Magnolia Ink i blad no.1 2012, og har lagd min egen barnevogn med litt andre mål. Og nå når jeg sitter og skal blogge kreasjonen min, så leter jeg etter en link å legge ved her, men fant ingen ~ derimot ble jeg litt lei meg når jeg så noen fine og kreative bloggere i klinsj.. Opphavsretter er en vanskelig ting i scrappeverden, ettersom man har sett det meste før rundtomkring på blogger og blitt inspirert av det, og deretter lagd sine egne versjoner. All ære for Mayas flotte barnevogner, men jeg tror ikke Camilla har 'stjelt' men vært inspirert av flere kilder på nett som hun sier her :) 

BTW: I have to specify that I've not come up with the idea of this babycarriage myself, but I've seen carriages like this online, and when I found the tutorial in Magnolia ink magazine no.1. 2012, by Camilla S. I decided to make one for my niece. Searching for a link to add to my post just now, to give credit ~ I was saddened to see the controversy, all honour to Maya, luv your carriages, but I also think that Camilla was simply inspired by many different bloggers, and her tutorial don't seem to rip off anyone. Anyhow, awesome inspirations sources to other crafters, hope to see lots more crafty creations and tutorials from both in the future :)

Hold on to your dreams...

Prøver meg på en skisseutfordring denne gang ~ ikke det letteste for meg, å arbeide ut ifra en skisse, da jeg aldri ser for meg hvordan det skal se ut eller hva jeg kommer til å bruke før jeg starter. Men det er jo en utfordring å bryne seg på da! :)
