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!

This Tilda is such a sweetie, thank you Renata for her. 

I colored her with Wilma's copics :o)

cheeks: R20

hair: E25-31-53

clothes: Y38-35-32

shoes and hula hoop: B14-12-00

Thanks for your visit. See you!

Vi tenner våre lykter...CCWS # 48

Hi everyone!

Great to see you again :o) I have another card to show you and it is a DT-card for our challenge blog Christmas Challenges {with sketches}. Wilma made a beautiful sketch, so hop on over to the blog and check it out!

I used a punch and a die to make this nice flower.

A little bit of twine around the card is such a nice effect, don't you think?

This guy was coloured with my copics and his dress was paper pieced.

I'm sorry I didn't write down the copics numbers, hope that's alright :o)

Hanneke is sponsoring this weeks challenge. So go on over to the blog, check out the sketch and the rest of the cards made by our Holiday Fairies.

Hope to see you there!!

Julehilsen....CCWS # 46

Renata did a fabulous job in creating a sketch for us to work with, thanks girl, it was a pleasure :o)

This sweetie is Christmas Tilda and I coloured her with my copics:

skin: E53-51-50-000

cheeks: R20

hair: C7-5-4-2/100

Merry Christmas....CCWS # 32

Hi everybody, here I am again telling you about a new challenge over at Christmas Challenges {with sketches}. It was my turn to give you all a sketch to work with. So I hope you check it out and of course make a Christmas card with it. This is mine :o)

I used my flowerpunch to make some flowers out of kraft paper. The little flower got some distress ink, vintage photo on top, as did all the edges of the papers. 

Tilda was coloured with Derwent colouring pencils:

skin: 170-190-620

hair: 010-530

clothes: 340

socks and banner: 200

stickles: crystle

I gave Tilda also a "spray" of distress ink to make her a little bit "older"

For the challenge it is required to use embossing on your card as a twist. 

I used my embossingfolder Woodgrain from Craft Concepts. I love it :o)

This week we will be sponsored by 

Hope you jump on over to CCWS now, to check out the sketch, the beautiful cards for my teamies and of course what you can win from Judi. 

See you later!

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.

God Jul....Christmas Challenges {with sketches} # 20...and a GDT call!

Hi everybody! 

I'm sorry that I don't publish so much these days. We are very busy renovating our home. I do create, but I just don't have so much time to put it on my blog. 

Well here is another card I made for the next challenge at CCWS. Marga made the sketch, thanks girl!

I used design papers from Milton & Co, Christmas and brown cardstock.

Because I didn't have brown flowers, I took some white ones and made them brown with distress ink, vintage photo. I find it a nice combo, the brown with the pink :o)

From a little bit of paper I made this banner with my sentiment on it.

Lovely Tilda was coloured this time with my Derwent colouring pencils

skin: 170-190-620

hair: 600-630

dress: 200-240

tights: 450-480

wings: stickles

Our sponsor for these 2 weeks is

Hi everybody...

I'm back with another Christmas card for Christmas Challenges {with sketches}. This time Janneke made a beautiful sketch for us. And I made an easelcard with her sketch :o)

My designpapers are from BoBunny and I used with cardstock with a light blue otherside.

I stamped a Christmas-sentiment  and diecut it with a Docraft Die. 

Then cut it out a little bit bigger for nice matting.

The buttons are from my stash.

The stamp is one from Magnolia and was coloured with my Copics:

bag: B91/93/95/97

gifts: R29/C0/2/4

I made a nice pattern with ribbon from Rayher behind the stamp.

Hopefully you like my card again :o) If you want to continue making Christmas cards, please visit our challenge blog for a inspiring sketch and of course to see the beautiful cards from my teammates.
