Bind it card

I made this card to bring to the store today for the Bind it All demo, I have used the BiA to punch the blue paper to make it look like a torn out page. Supplies are Inkido stamp & papers, vintage image from Minne-hjørnet, and decorations from my stash. The supplies can be bought at Steffens.



Have a wonderful weekend!!

Cupcake Craft Challenge 61

Its Monday again and time for another Cupcake Craft Challenge. This week we would like to see you use stitches and buttons on your card. And I have to admit I took out the sewing machine and was so eager to get my sewing machine back that I forgot to unfold the card when I was sewing on the card and ended up sewing it all together, making it impossible to open. LOL, so I had to add a new base and this is how it ended up:

The vintage style is something that I enjoy looking at but don't feel I have the hang of so I have challenged my self to make some for Christmas and this is my first attempt.

Recipe:

• Stamp: Kreativ Hobby - God Jul
• Image: Vintage print from Minne-hjørnet.
• Pattern Papers: Graphic 45 - Christmas Past Collection.
• Embellishments: Old hymn page, Tim Holtz ticket, Lace from my granny, Buttons from my granny, half pearls, flowers from Panduro and Wild Orchids, Scrappers Floss, Small cake paper heart.

Martine Vik Magnussen

Many of you have heard about the Martine Vik Magnussen, a young Norwegian student that was found raped and murdered in London, March last year.
