Book-card for my uncle and aunt

Hi you all, 

This time I want to show you a nice gift I made for my uncle and aunt. They had their 40-year-weddinganniversary. 

I saw this book-card for the first time on Tina's blog. And luckily she made a tutorial for us all. Thank you Tina!

This nice couple is a gift from Nel. Thanks to you too! They are adorable. I colored them of course with my Derwent coloursoft pencils.

face: 170-190-620

hair: 600-630

clothes: 580-590-340-330

roses: 100-130-480

air: 360

wall: 610 (by the way, I draw this one)

I made a pocket with a tag for some words to the happy couple. And some romantic candles to enjoy.

Here you can see that it is just like a book. A very precise job, but such a nice detail!

And of course the back of the book. 

This was a very nice item to make and not too difficult, thanks (again) to Tina's tutorial. 

My uncle and aunt were very pleased with their present. Let me know what you think, OK?! 

Love to hear from you!!

Santa is coming to town!

Yes, you see them everywhere. But they are so nice and so simple to make. The tealightcard. On the club of Janneke was in november a challenge to make such a card. She had a link within the challenge how to make a tealightcard.

This cute little bear is Milton with stocking from Wildrosestudio. I coloured him using these Derwent coloursoftpencils

bear: 560

nose: 570

ears: 170

stocking: 430 - 130

The sentiment on the label is a oldie from Magnolia, the Christmascollection. 

A very nice and simple gift. Please let me know what you think.

Happy Birthday, girlfriend!!

In november had my dear scrappingfriend Linda her birthday. Of course I had a present for her and made her this birthdaycard. 

She is very fond of vintage, so I tried to make her a vintagecard. I'm not so very good at this style, but I think it worked out quit allright. 

I used different flowers for decoration.

This Tilda was coloured with the following Derwent pencils:

skinn: 170-190-620

hair: 570-650

clothes: 120-480

flower: 050

shoes: 650

I made a label, distressed it and stamped a happy birthday-greeting on it. 

For the inside I cut out of the designpaper two triangles. 

On the backside I let the tag come back for my personal stamp.

My friend was very pleased with her vintagecard. And so was I!

Thanks for your visit and see you next time!!

A christmas card in red

Another challenge is going on on the Derwent-blog. This time we expect you to make a christmascard using the colour red. Well is that really a challenge. Red is of course THE christmascolour by far! 

This is my exemplecard. I liftet a card seen in the Magnolia Ink from 2009. Thought that was a beautiful design. 

These flowers I punched out with my new Cuttlebug, using a cutting die from Spellbinders. I embossed them and inked them up with some distress ink.

Of course I coloured this golden oldie from Hanglär & Stanglär with my Derwent coloursoft pencils.

face: 170-190-620

hair: 560-570

clothes: 610

socks: 480

bench: 600

To give this card a little bit extra, I punched small holes at the bottom and I did some crochet. That was very fun to do!

The circle on the card is embossed with a Fiskars embossing plate. It was very white in the beginning, so I used a little bit of distress ink here also and sponced the swirls lightly.

Thank you again for your visit. I hope to hear from you!!

"Mappekort" a briefcase-card

Quite a while ago I saw on Papirgelder.no a very nice way to wrap something delicious. It is what the Norwegians call "mappekort", a so to call briefcase-card. 

It is a very simple card, easy and quikly made. So it doesn't take long before you can decorate. 

Of course I used a stamp, this time this cuty from Hänglar & Stänglar. 

skinn: 170-190-620

hair: 530-640

t-shirt and socks: 390-380

trousers: 200-110

shoes: 080-650

block and bows: 050

And here are just some details. Check out Papirgleden and make such a card yourself. It's such a nice way to wrap up a nice gift in. 

By the way, this was my contribution for the Derwent-challengeblog for the coming 2 weeks. Join in on the fun there also, OK?! You can win a nice package from me this time, all goodies from Kort og Godt from Norway. 

Thanks for stopping by!
