God Jul til deg fra meg...CCWS #73

Hi everybody, here I am with my new Christmas card for CCWS. It is a little bit later than usuall, but we had some internet-problems out here. I couldn't upload anything anywhere. But I hope that is solved now, after almost 2 weeks and I can show you my card.

Betina made the sketch this week and it's a real cutie to work with. Thanks girl! 

All the Holiday Fairies made beautiful cards. Go check out the challenge-blog and give them some credit :o)

Not long ago I ordered some beautiful flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. And I used them here on my card. Aren't the adorable? Love them! 

The sentiment is from Kreativ Hobby and it says: Merry Christmas to you from me.

The design papers are Panduro's, Tis 'the season.

And what about Tilda showing her Christmas ornaments? I coloured her with Derwent coloring pencils:

skin: 170-190-620

hair: 550-620-610

clothes: 260-270

socks and ornaments: 110-130

shadow: 710

ground: 710-670

I used some tread from Kort & Godt and I got a piece of cheescloth from my dear friend Tove, takk takk!!

Of course we have a sponsor again, giving away a surprise prize :o)

Well I will let you go to our challengeblog now and check out the sketch and other cards made by the Holiday Fairies. Hope to see your card soon :o)

Bye bye!

Wishing you....CCWS # 71 with a twist

Hi everybody!

Another two weeks have past, so I have my exemple-card to show you for another challenge over at CCWS. All Holiday Fairies have made beautiful cards again, you can admire those on the challengeblog. 

This weeks sketch was made by our own Wilma. Actually I made 2 cards for this challenge, because Wilma changed her sketch, when I was just finishing my first card, hihi. So I have an extra card for Christmas this year :o)

We have a twist again and that is to use kraft-paper on your card. So my basic-card is kraft and I layered my stamp on kraft-paper. The designpapers are from Marianne Design, Warm Winter Wishes. Beccy's Place provided me with a nice freebie, Raggedy Angel. He was coloured with Derwent Coloring Pencils:

skin: 170-180-620

For his wings I used stickles, Frosted Lace. From my friend Anne Karin, I got this little silver bell :o)

The sentiment is build from Tiny Alpha Stickers from Kaiser Craft. 

And the papers are Panduro's Tis' the Season. 

My mother made the flowers and I put a velvet brad in it.

Juleklem...CCWS # 50

Hi everyone!

Here I am with another Christmas card for challenge number 50 (!) at Christmas Challenges {with sketches}. I made this card during a cozy get-together with my scrapping girlfriends. 

I used designpapers from Panduro, Winter. And I dry-embossed the circle. Sorry but I cannot remember which folder it was...

This penguin was donated to us Holiday Fairies by our sponsor, Meljen's Designs. Isn't he sweet?

I coloured him with my Derwent Coloring pencils:

penguin: 710-700-080

cup: 390-380

hat: 380

I also used Pigment Modellingspasta Coarse. It gives it such a nice touch. 

With this challenge we have a twist again. Use stitching on your card, real or faux. I pierced a lot of holes in my circle and stitched around it afterwards. With a nice charm, my card was ready :o)

So come on over to CCWS and join in for some fun.

My card needed some snow and I mimicked that with my snow marker.

These kids are enjoying the fireworks. It's a stamp from Jalekro and stood on a sheet with multiple stamps.

I hope you join us again at CCWS and make another Christmas card.

Happy Birthday Malin!

Hi!

For my oldest daughter I made this box for her birthday. I found it on Renata's blog, but there was no description. I found that on Thea's Creations. Thank you both, ladies!

On the inside there are many surfaces you have to decorate. 

And the centerpiece is a cute little cake!

I scanned the Magolia-stamp and made her very tiny :o)

I stamped a greeting on the inside as well and wrote of course some words for the birthday-girl :o)

It was some work, but I think it is so cute, this box, just like my girl :o))

Bye, bye, see you next time!

God Jul.....CCWS # 28

Hi all!

Here I am again with a card. This one is for our next challenge at Christmas Challenges {with sketches}, CCWS. Carol made a beautiful sketch, a round one, so nice! Thanks Carol, it was a pleasure to make a card with your sketch :o)

I cut this card with my silhouette. First the cardbase, with a kind of hinge and then a blue circle to cover the card. With my silhouette I cut out the snowflakes in the white cardstock and made it a little bit smaller then the blue one. 

My Santa is sitting on a ribbon from Kort og Godt and I colored him with my Derwent coloring pencils:

skin: 170-190-620

hair and beard: 710

clothes and shoes: 340-360-310-720

and lots of stickles: baby blue, frosted lace, diamond

Behind him is a round piece of frosted vellum from my stash, where I stamped my sentiment on. 

I used three of the snowflakes that came out of the card and glued them with 3D-dots on the card. 

I furtheron decorated my card with my perlen pen.

Renata made a wonderful sketch for us this time...and...we have yet another twist. And that is to use those great traditional Christmascolours, meaning red, green and white of cream :o) And here is my card.

I used papers from Docrafts Papermania again Enchanted Christmas. The snowflakes were crocheted by my mother and I put a brad in the middle. The sentiment is from Making Memories. I have those for ages now and I had never used them before :o)

fur: 710

bird: 520-010

The snow was made with my snowmarker.
