DT Stempelglede ~ A Christmas tag

Here I have made a tag with a gorgeous stamp from Stempelglede. It is from the collection "Vintage Christmas".

I have made the tag with a Tim Holtz Die - Tags and Bookplates. The frame is also from the same die-set.

I have stamped the image with Archival Ink-Jet Black on glossy paper, then used UTEE several times for the crackle effect. I have also painted with Crackle Paint-Picket Fence on the edges on the image and the tag.

The tag is bazzill-vanilla, I have decorated it with papers from Maja Design and Panduro.

The frame is also painted with Crackle Paint-Picket Fence.

The letters are from Making Memories, and I have added Crackle Accents onto them.

I have also decorated with some white roses, half a doily, lace and ribbon.

The edges are inked with Distress Ink-Walnut Stain, and sewed. They are also distressed wth Tim Holtz' distressing tool.

This tag is my first "card" to Hjertebodens Juleblogg for March, 

and I am also entering A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge - Tags .

Thank you for visiting and have a lovely evening!

Another babycard:)

I got a question from a co-worker to make a baptism card for her. She wanted an easel card, and similar to the other babycards I have made resently:)

Now I see that all the photos are closeups, but I hope you can see the card anyway. I gave it away today, so to late to take some more pics..

This is sweet Tilda from Magnolia, but on a boy card. He is coloured with Distress Ink, reinkers. I have also added Distress Ink, Walnut Stain to all the paper edges, and a little on the flowers.

The text is from Stempelglede. All the papers are from Magnolia too. I have added Stickles-Star Dust to the image, and Stickles-Platinum to the flowers and some of the paperedges. 

The tag is a DooHickey from Magnolia. I have also used a Martha Stewart punch-Doily Lace. The letters are Thickers from American Crafts.

I have added liquid pearls-White opal to the scallops.

You can see the card from one side under. You may see the small criss-cross card that I have attached to the lowest part of the easel card...

I will enter the challenge #130 at A Spoon Full of Sugar with this card, which is Distressing.

I know that I have promised you a tea light card, it is finished, but there is only one little thing first that I have to find out before I show it to you;)) Coming soon, I promise.

Thank you for visiting my blog! Have a lovely evening:)

A Spoon Full of Sugar #92 ~ Distress Ink, Stickles & Pearls

This week's challenge with a Spoon Full of Sugar is my last one... I have decided to leave the wonderful team, they have been so great to work with, and I will truely miss them. Thank you for your always support, and I know we will stay in touch:))

But I have some good news too, I asked Randi Th to be my guest designer for my last week, and she accepted!! I am so pleased that she would join us, she makes amazing cards, boxes ect!

I made a bookmark for the challenge. We have now finished three weeks with almost just reading in my class. And I too had to have a bookmark:) And here it is:

I have used this guardian angel from Whiff of Joy, she is really cute! I have some stickles on her wings, and three pearls on the bottom of the bookmark. And she is coloured with Distress Ink.

I have got many questions lately that I haven't had the time to answer, so sorry for that. But I will answer some here, so hope the ones who have asked by e-mail can read it here:

1. Where I buy the napkins I use? Answer: At Hobbyhimmelen, and some of them is bought at the bookstore called Nordli.

2. What colours I use on Tildas hair? Answer: First I colour with Antique linen, then I colour the shadows with Walnut stain. And sometimes add some Vintage photo (All Distress Ink refillers).

3. What colour I use for the pink? Answer: Aged mahogany (little), Tattered rose (the most) and Weathered wood (little).

4. To translate my blog? Answer: I had a translator there before, but it was too bad! Almost crazy!:)) But when I read foreign language's blogs, it pops up a question from Blogger/Google if I want it translated... But I try to write in English. I know my Distress Ink tutorial only is in Norwegian, and many of you find that a struggle. But maybe if I get the time I will make a new one, in English:)

5. If I have some ideas for place cards? Answer: I have only one idea:) Take a look here, and here for the tutorial.

6. If I can stamp up images and sell to you? Answer: No. That wouldn't be right. Most of my stamps are given to me by Magnolia, Stempelglede and Whiff of Joy. And they want you to buy them in the stores:)

7. If I can have a Distress Ink colouring course? Answer: There was a store close to Bergen that asked me to come and have a course in the spring. So maybe. I will let you know if or when I hear from them again:) -or you can have a look at my TUTORIAL on how to colour with Distresses (Thanks for the tip Gøril;))

I hope I didn't forgot any, but if I have - just ask again:)
