Rammekort
I går ble jeg nemlig, noe uventet, invitert i en 30-års dag i dag. Så prosjektet mitt ble noe helt annet enn det jeg egentlig hadde planlagt, men jeg har i alle fall brukt mer enn ti minutter på det! *lol* *Yesterday I was, somewhat unexpected, invited to a 30th birthday party. So my project today is something totally different than what I had planned, but at least I spent more than ten minutes on it! *lol**
Det er et såkalt "rammekort", som jeg har sett flere av i det siste og lenge tenkt at jeg skulle prøve meg på. Jeg hadde bare ikke trodd det skulle skje så fort. :) *It's a so called "frame card" that I've seen several of lately and thought I should try. I just didn't think it was gonna happen this fast. :) *
Teksten er et stempel fra Kort og Godt. Arkene er Maja Design, Vintage Summer Basics 6x6. *The text is a stamp from Kort og Godt. The papers are Maja Design, Vintage Summer Basics 6x6.*
Vanligvis er plasseringen av blomster på mine kort nøye planlagt. Denne gangen hadde jeg så dårlig tid at det ble litt improvisert. (Og resten av bildene ble tatt utendørs mens jeg ventet på at mine medskyldige pakket inn gaven.) Blomster, som alltid fra WOC, samme med perlene. Sommerfuglene er en MS punch. *Ususally the placement of flowers on my cards are carefully planned. This time I had to improvise since I was really short on time. (And the rest of the pictures are taken outside while I was waiting for my accomplices to wrap the present.) Flowers as always from WOC, same as the pearls. The butterflies are an MS punch.*
Til en forandring har jeg brukt litt tid på innsidene også. :) Teksten er fra Papirdesign. Kantene er stemplet tilfeldig med et splash stempel fra The Greeting Farm og en sommerfugl fra MME (tror jeg). *I've spent some time on the innsides too for a change. The sentiment is from Papirdesign. The edges are randomly stamped with a splash stamp from The Greeting Farm and a butterfly from MME (i think).*
En må jo ha med et felt for å skrive en hilsen også. Her har jeg også svertet og stemplet med de samme stemplene. Jeg har brukt Distress Ink, Antique Linen og Vintage Photo og Archival Ink Coffee. *There's got to be some room for a greeting too. I've inked and stamped this too with the same stamps. I've used Distress Ink, Antique Linen and Vintage Photo and Archival Ink Coffee.*
Til slutt, baksiden. Helt enkel med det samme sommerfugl stempelet og mitt personlige stempel. *And finally the backside. Simple with the same butterfly stamp and my personal stamp.*

Z-fold birthday card
Her kommer i alle fall et kort jeg måtte snekre sammen for min datter som skulle i venninnebursdag. Jeg hadde lovet henne å lage et ekstra fint kort, siden hun kanskje ble nødt til å gi penger i gave (hun foretrekker å gi gaver. :)) Etter min standard, ble ikke dette akkurat "ekstra fint", men både datter'n og venninna var fornøyde, så da er oppdraget fullført. :) *Anyways, here's a card I had to put together for my daughter who was going to a friend's birthday party. I promised her I would make an extra pretty card, since she might have to give money as a gift (she prefers actual gifts. :)) By my standards this isn't excactely "extra pretty", but both my daughter and her friend was happy so mission accomplished. :)

Konfirmasjonskort
Jeg hadde en plan med dette kortet, og vanligvis når jeg har en plan, ender det opp med noe helt annet. Denne gangen klarte jeg å holde meg noenlunde til planen og nå skjønner jeg hvorfor jeg oftest endrer planene underveis. En del ting jeg kunne tenke meg å endre på dette kortet, men det får være til en annen gang.
Jeg har brukt ark fra Inkido sin vår kolleksjon, og pyntet veldig enkelt med en hjemmelaget blomst, bånd, perler og nåler. Perlene er for øvrig vanskelig å se inni dekoren under teksten.
*I had a plan with this card, and usually when I have a plan I end up with something completely different. This time I managed to stick relatively close to the plan and now I understand why I often change the plans along the way. There are a few things I'd like to change about thie card, but that'll have to be some other time. I've used papers from the Inkido spring collection and decorated very simple with a homemade flower, ribbon, pearls and pins. The pearls though are hard to see in the decor under the sentiment.*

Identitetskrisen fortsetter

Og når jeg så Utfordring #40 hos Kort-o-Mania, tenkte jeg "endelig noe for meg!" For uansett hvilken stil jeg lander på så er en ting sikkert: noen motivstempler er jeg ikke!
Blir også med på PaperPlay w19 - Anything goes.
I've previously claimed that my cardmaking style is "more clean and simple than anything else".. Can I claim "no rule without exception" in this case? Far from CAS, but still very me.
And when I saw Challenge #40 at Kort-o-Mania I thought "finally something for me!" Because no matter what style I'll land on, on thing is for sure: I'm not a motif stamper!
Also entering PaperPlay w19 - Anything goes.

Testing Techniques - part 4

Bølgepappen hadde jeg liggende etter noen tallerkener jeg kjøpte, hvor pappen lå mellom fatene. Jeg svertet pappen med Vintage Photo og Walnut Stain og stakk en distresset tag under. Så ble det litt mer maling på pappen og en rest av punchinella. Men jeg syns punchinellaen ble altfor blank, så jeg børstet litt maling over den også. Ikke så mye at det vises på bildet, men nok til at den ikke så helt ny ut. :)
Så var det knappene da. En av de minste knappene var en perlemorskimrende grå sak. Den gikk jeg løs på med sandpapir, maling og sverte. Og når det var gjort så de andre også veldig blanke ut, så jeg børstet litt maling over dem også.
Til slutt stemplet jeg teksten med alfabetstempel og hvit Fluid Chalk, og dett var dett. :)
This spring I've got to check off a lot of things that's been on my list over things to try out. Painting on cards has been on the list for a long time. And when gesso and acrylic paint was already bought for the easter eggs it was all set.
The corrugated cardboard was lying around after I bought new plates and the cardboard was in between the plates. I inked the cardboard with Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain and slipped a distressed tag underneath. Then a little more paint on the cardboard and a leftover piece of punchinella. But I thought it looked too shiny, so I brushed a little paint on that too. Not so much that it shows on the photo, but enough to keep it from looking brand new. :)
And then the buttons. One of the smaller buttons was a shimmering grey thing. I attacked it with sanding paper, paint and ink. And when that was done, the other ones looked too shiny, so I brushed a little paint on them too. Finally I stamped the sentiment with alphabet stamps and white Fluid Chalk, and that was it. :)
This will be my entry for the following challenges:
PaperPlay Challenges week 17 - Use an object not intended for crafting (Cardboard from plate packaging)
Cards for men No 9 - Circles

Til alle mødre

Happy mother's day to all mothers and especially to all single mothers out there. I'm not one of them, but I have a husband that sometimes travels a lot, and that has given me an enourmous respect for single parents! It's really not an easy job to take care of kids all on your own, even though you have the sweetest, nicest kids in the world (which of course all parents have! ;)). You do a fantastic job! I hope you all get the attention you deserve today and enjoy the day!
I'll enter this card for the following challenges:
Mojo Monday - Sketch 177
Kort o Mania - Utfordring 33 Ikke 6x6
My time to craft - Challenge 127 Hearts and flowers
Cute Card Thursday - Challenge 151 Hearts and flowers

Back to black
Legger dette inn hos Paper Play Challenges - Back to black og Scrappekammeret - kammerpikenes fargeglede (Hvitt + 1).

One of the things I like about making cards is making it personal. A theme, a colour, decor or whatever it is that makes the card just right for the recipient. I've gotten some comments about that earlier - that the cards I make fits the person that gets it really well, and I hope this one will hit the spot too. It's for my brother-in-law. Guess what he does for a living? :) I'm entering this at Paper Play Challenges - Back to black and Scrappekammeret - Kammerpikenes fargeglede (White +1)

Moving along
Med dette kortet deltar jeg i utfordringene hos Paper Play Challenges - Clean and Simple, Really Reasonable Ribbon's - Something new og Cupcake Craft Challenges - 124 Something new.
Jeg har brukt mine nye ark fra BoBunnys Jazmyne Mini Edgy Album Paper Pad, som jeg kjøpte like før jul og bånd jeg fikk fra en hemmelig nisse til jul! :)

************
I'm getting along slowly but surely. What's kinda fun now is that I finally get to work with ideas that I've had for a really long time, but for some reason haven't done anything about earlier! With this card I'll participate in the challenges at Paper Play Challenges - Clean and Simple, Really Reasonable Ribbon's - Something new and Cupcake Craft Challenges - 124 Something new. I've used my new papers from BoBunnys Jazmyne Mini Edgy Album Paper Pad that I bought right before christmas and a ribbon I got from a secret Santa for christmas! :)

Varme juleklemmer

This is one of the last cards I made for the christmas market last Saturday. Clean and Simple with a lovely sentiment from Norsk Stempelblad. Translated it means something like "Warm christmas hug and many good thoughts." This'll be my entry for Stampin' B's challenge #85 and PaperPlay Challenges '10 - Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Julestemningen kommer

It was great coming home to my workdesk again after a weekend of light christmas shopping and noticing that the christmas spirit is sneaking in and the christmas card production is increasing. I've planned to make some simple cards to sell at the charity christmas market this Saturday. But I've got quite a few left to make to reach my goal. Anyways, this card will be my entry for PaperPlay Challenges '10 - Ribbon, lace and flowers, RRR Challenge #12 Christmas theme and A Spoonful of Sugar Challenge 130 - Distressing.
