DT Bikuben: Takkekort til en lærer

Hi crafty friends, here's a card I made for one of my daughter's teachers this year. 
I used the cute Violet Vintage by Saturated Canary/ Little Darling Rubber Stamps. 

Ellen fra Bikuben spurte meg for en tid tilbake om jeg ville være med i designteamet til butikken, og så klart jeg måtte svare ja på det!!! Her er mitt første inspirasjonskort til Bikubens blogg. 

Dette kortet laget jeg til en av lærerne på skolen til datteren min i år. 

Kortet er inspirert av og laget etter en tutorial fra Camilla som jeg fant i Juni Utgaven av Ett Trykk.

Dette herlige stemplet heter Violet Vintage og er fra Little Darling Rubber Stamps/ Saturated Canary. 

Motivet er stemplet på Hotlz Perfect Coloring Paper og fargelagt med Copic Sketch Markers. 

Jeg fargela motivet først, deretter tegnet jeg inn gress og skyer for å få bakgrunn rundt henne. 

Jeg har brukt følgende copic tusjer:  

Hud: E13-11-21-000, R20 til kinn. Øyne: B99-95-91

Hår: E29-25-21, E49

Rosa: E89-85-83-81, V000

Turkis: BG75-72-70, og en egenlaget farge BG71 (blandet i en tom tusj med refill av BG70 og 72)

På kjolen: BG15-13-11-10-09

Veske: YR24-23-21-20, E35

Himmel: B000, BG0000, B00-01, C01-00

Gress: G99-94-82-46-43-40, YG07

Jeg har også brukt Copic Opaque White til blomstene i gresset og noen streker for å skape litt mer liv.

Inni kortet har jeg dekorert med de vakre arkene fra Maja Design; 

Sofiero - Exuberance of flowers in bloom 12 x 12. Jeg har brukt en Pop up Butterflies punch fra Martha Stewart til kantene. Ovalen er Classic Oval Large  og Classic Scalloped Ovals Large. Tekststemplet er fra Kort og Godt.

Charmsen finner du i utallige varianter på Bikuben, blant annet noen søte fuglebur charms. Jeg synes charms ofte bidrar til å sette prikken over i'en på kortene! Blomstene er fra Wild Orchid Crafts. Sommerfuglene på kortet er fra Martha Stewart 3-1 Butterfly Punch. Tekststempel er fra Norsk Stempelblad, og jeg har brukt en die fra American Crafts - settet Nested Dies (egentlig til Project Life) til å stanse ut figuren til å stemple på. 

Alle kantene på kortet er svertet med Distress ink Walnut Stain. 

Håper du fikk litt inspirasjon i dag! 

Ha en fin sommerdag! 

 

DT Copic Marker Norge: Joy Fold card with mini- tutorial

Hi Crafty friends, 

I have some coloring inspiration to show you today. Every week all summer long,  one of the DT girls will have some new inspiration for you over at Copic Marker Norge. I am first up, and I made this babycard using the Joy Fold. I also have added an step by step description if you need one. If you would rather have a video tutorial, you can google "joy fold card" and lots of options pop up on you tube.

Papers are Maja Design, Flowers by WOC, Pearls by Staz. Charms from ebay and I used a Martha Steward edge punch for the Doily Lace. I also added some cheese cloth under the image. 

Here's how I made the card:  

You will need cardstock, design papers and a colored image, and embellishments of your choice. You will also need an edge punch.

Cut 1 x 4 1/2 by 9 inch cardstock.

and 1 x 3 1/2 by 9 inch. This will be your card base.

Score at 4 1/2 inch on the small piece (middle)

Score at 3 1/2 inc on the large piece of cardboard. Fold your pieces using a bonefolder or your hand.

Use your punch as shown.

 After you add the designpaper, glue the pieces togheter as shown in the photos.

 Cut the patterned paper and glue them on the cardboard before you attach the pieces together. Add your image and decorate the card. 

Image is Hush by Mo Manning/ Mo's Digital Pencil. Copic Colors used: 

So so cute! Love this little baby boy by Mo Manning!

I used the Maja Design Baby collection to decorate the inside too. So cute!


Thanks for stopping by,
hope this was understandable and useful!

DT Copic Marker Europe: For a lovely young woman!/ Konfirmasjonskort

Hi crafty friends, 

Here's my card for Copic Marker Europe this month. It1s one more confirmation card I made this spring! I used one of the cute Saturated Canary images from Kristas "bunch"-sale and Complete Cardmaking magazine.

I used Maja Design papers and flowers by Wild Orchid Crafts. Dies by Spellbinders and Memory Box and punches by Martha Stewart.

The card design is a small book, I think the fold is called Pop Out Book Card. You can find lots of tutorials on pinterest and youtube. I actually used my Silhouette to cut this out. But ended up adjusting every piece of it and adding things, so next time I will make it from scratch...lol. 

Kortet er laget som en liten bok. Jeg tror det kalles Pop Out Book Card. Du finner tutorials på Pinterest og Youtube. Jeg brukte Silhouetten min til å kutte denne, men endte opp med å forandre på nesten alle størrelser og former, så neste gang tror jeg at jeg skal lage den fra bunnen av. Jeg har limt på bånd under papiret foran og bak slik at "boken" knytes sammen. 

 The image is by Saturated Canary. 

Copic color used: 

Skin/hud: E13-11-21-00, R20. Lips/lepper:  R20, R81

Hair/Hår: E59-57-55-51

Pinks/Rosa: R89-85-83-81, V000

Skirt and bag/Skjørt og bag: BV29-25-23-21, W7

Boots/Sko: E47-44-43-42-41

Background/bakgrunn: B60, C01-00, BV20-21

Here's the inside fold. I used some of the gorgeous Confirmation sentiment stamps from Norsk Stempelblad AS. 

Slik ser kortet ut inni. Jeg har brukt noen av de nydelige konfirmasjonsstemplene fra Norsk Stempelblad på alle sidene på koret. Både de små og de store. Elsker dem- de passer til alt! 

 I made a pocket with a tag on the back to make room for a personal message.

Jeg fant ut at jeg måtte ha med plass til å skrive på, så jeg laget en lomme med tag på baksiden av kortet. Punchen er fra Martha Stewart. 

Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by,
wishing you wonderful summer days!

DT Copic Marker Norge: BINGO!

Hi friends, 

It's time for a new challenge over at Copic Marker Norge. As we are approaching the summer holidays, we are running the challenge all summer long. So you have lots of time to join us in our BINGO challenge. The challenge closes on august 11.

Pop over to the  Copic Marker Norge blog to see the wonderful inspiration from the DT and to see the BINGO chart!

I made a masculine card this time. Sooo hard to do for me, because I had to leave the pink- pearls and flower- thing in my drawers...lol. I made this card for hubby's birthday. He loves nature, birdwatching and photography, so I went for that theme. I found this Make It Crafty image and it was fun and fit the theme perfectly! 

Jeg skulle lage et bursdagskort til mannen og herrekort er en utfordring for meg som elsker rosa-stilen. Jeg tok meg kraftig sammen og fant dette morsomme motivet fra Make It Crafty som passet perfekt til min fotoelskende, fugletittende, friluftsmann. Og heldigvis falt kortet i smak:) 

I used some old papers from my stash- no idea where I got them. I used Tim Holtz Pocket Watches & Steampunk Set embossing folder, Tim Holtz Photo Strip and Camera, wooden birds. Sentiment by Norsk Stempelblad. 

Image is Adventure Dad by Make It Crafty. Copic Colors used: 

I used foam dots to layer the card.

My cards from La La Land Crafts class at Bikuben

Hi lovely peeps, 

I know my blog has been very quiet lately. Life has been busy, so I haven't had much time crafting and blogging...  I thought I would stop by today to show you a couple of cards I made a while back. I had the pleasure of taking one of Irina Blount's (of La La Land Craft) classes when she visited Bikuben here in Norway. It was lots of fun to finally meet the lovely lady, and we had more than three hours of fun with her lovely dies and projects. 

I colored up the images and finished the cards when I got home. 

Here they are: 

We made both these cards in the class.

 The shaped one is using Garden Marcy and lots of dies to go with the theme. I loved making the flowers and had lots of ideas I will be sure to use in the future. 

Also, she chose a fun color combo- perfect for summer and I loved the idea with the dress. All Irina's ideas- not mine:) All I did was color the image and follow her instructions.

On the second card we used shades of white and gold, and the Praying Marcy image. Love the layering and the rolled roses!

This card too is all Irina's design, I just put it togehter and colored the image. 

Thanks for stopping by. If you ever get at chance to take one of her classes: you should! 

I know I will be there if she ever returns to Norway! 

Wishing you a lovely day!

Thanks for stopping by, I promise I will be back soon with some cards and projects of my own.
