Layers (class cards)

*Picture overload post*  Monday and Wednesday this week I had two card making classes at work. We made two thick cards with plenty of layers and volume. So I thought I would show them to the rest of you to as I have not posted any lately here on the blog. 

Thanks for looking and I wish you all a fab weekend!
If you are close to OSLO tomorrow, make sure to stop by the shop between 11-14 as CONNIE is having a demo.
 

Published in Ett Trykk

I was published in the latest issue of the Norwegian card magazine, Ett Trykk. I was challenged to do the stampchallenge and got a stamp from Nellie Snellen sponsored by Kortgleder to play with. For detailed product info please check out the magazine on page 82. Here's one of the cards I made:

 Thanks for looking and have a great summer! I'll be all around Europe having fun this summer and I'm so looking forward to cruising in the old bug and seeing old friends. On Thursday I leave for Skagen in Denmark to celebrate my birthday and attend a Volkswagen show.  

Passion for ProMarkers Week 48

Welcome to another week of Passion for ProMarkers. This week Maria has set the challenge for us all and it's "In the Garden". I had a play with a digi stamp from Lily-Boo's Boutique (one of our many great sponsors at PfP) and this is how my card turned out:

This weeks sponsors is Joanna Sheen, she is offering one lucky winner a gift voucher of £10. She also has FREE shipping and postage so you can get some extra value when shopping at her web shop! So why not join us :) I wish you all good luck! TFL.

Passion for ProMarkers Week 45 & In2Stamps April

This weeks challenge at PASSION FOR PROMARKERS is set by Emma and she want us to make something for The Young Ones. And In2Stamps April challenge has a spring theme. I have combined both these challenges for my design team card with one of the cute new stamps from In2Stamps and some gorgeous light purple papers from Inkido.


This weeks sponsor for the PfP Challenge is Sugar Nellie and one lucky winner will get Come Fly With Me & Purrfect Playmates stamps. At In2Stamps you can win pattern papers and 3 stamps from In2Stamps.

Thanks for looking and good luck with the challenges!! :)

In the last issue of Ett Trykk I was very inspired by Anne Bodil. (Check out her blog here, for more great ideas) She had made a card using glossy paper, clear embossing powder and glimmer mist. We sell the magazine at Steffens and I thought it would be nice to show some of the ideas shown in the mag in real life. So that is how this card came about. You can see this card live at Steffens in Oslo.


Supplies can be bought at Steffens.

Friday Sketchers #87 + Happy 101

Finally I had time to make another card. And this one like the previous two is made with the Basic Grey - Origins collection.

So here's my card with that stamp, made using the sketch at FRIDAY SKETCHERS.

• Stamps: In2Stamps - Get Well Collection - Mommy's caring.
• Paper: Baisc Grey - Orgins

Sukkersøtt Jubileumsutfordring #3

Hoping this airs just in time for the challenge end at 22:00. Challenge #3 was to make a card that defines you as a cardmaker or just use the stash that you favor. So I have used some stash I favor, brads, Martha Stewart punch, Creamy Brown ink, flowers with a cruel, ProMakres pens - ohh me love!, my new Sugar Nellie - Demure stamp (Thanks Denise!!!) QK, and ribbons. I also wanted to use some stamps from Stempelglede and some metal charms (n half pearls for this one seeing as I have the brads not to sure how they would match) but I had to time as seeing the deadline was at 22:00.


Also I have not added a sentiment, as of my lack of time, so if you have any suggestions to where I should put it, please leave me a comment! :)

Thanks for looking and wish me luck in the Sukkersøtt Celebration Challenges!! :)

Saturday Challenge #39

I have been planing on making a gift with stamped images for a blogger/farm friend for some time but things have been so hectic I just have not had the right Mojo to do it. But tonight the Mojo came when I was home alone for a few hours. And that resulted in what you are about to see. I wont tell you who the friend is cause she is snooping around here, but maybe she can guess is ;) And I also have to thank my wonderful assistent Hege, that helped me and got my Mojo rolling and to Joachim for the pictures. (check out his photoblog: http://blog.naess.net)

I have used Bazzill CS, MME DP, Martha Stewart border punch, the white flower was in a birthday gift that came in the mail today from Lena Katrine and the rest of the flowers are from Papirloftet, charms from stash, QK leaf, text stamp from Penny Black and the pink ribbon in the corner is from my friend Maritha, I got a gift wrapped in it once. (I cut three small ribbons and glued them together and them placed in the corner to qualify for the Saturday Challenge)

Thanks for looking and be sure to check back tomorrow for the SFTW challenge!

A new path..

Yesterday I open a new path for my self, the vintage path. I'm not sure if this is me or not, but I do love all the vintage stuff that everyone else is making so yesterday when I made the wedding card I decided to give it another go with some gorgeous stuff that I received in a candy from Brita. She makes some amazing vintage creations so I'm happy I could make something "old" with the stash I got from her. This is what I ended up with before I went to bed yesterday:


I have used Bazzill CS, Image, green lace, pink flowers and green paper from Papirloftet, chipboard, small stitched doily, paperflowers, white lace, binders and ticket from Brita, Melissa Frances rubon, Martha Stewart doily lace punch and its all inked with creamy brown ink.

I want to enter this into this weeks Charisma Cardz challenge which is to make anything in any style using what ever you want :)
