Christening and Cricut

Jeg lagde dette kortet til en jente som ville ha ett dåpskort til en liten gutt og hintet jeg fikk, utenom navn og dato, var biler.... Jeg tenkte jeg skulle finne ut hva Cricuten min kunne gjøre, og her er resultatet.


I made this fun card for someone who wanted a card for a christening of a little boy, and the hints I got other than the name and date were cars... I wanted to se what fun things I can make with my Cricut and here is the result.

Jeg lagde konvelutten, kortet, bokstavene og bilen med Cricuten. Stempelet, som jeg ikke husker hvor jeg har fra, er fargelagt med Copics og kuttet ut med en Spellbinders die. Tagen og skrivefeltet er også laget med Spellbinders. Swirlen er en Magnolia die. Kartongen er Bazill og designpapirene er Papirdesign og Maja. Rose fra Wild Orchid Crafts og charm fra kuttut.no. Rammen er fra Kort & Godt og teksten inne er utdrag fra Papirdesign arket. Sølvbånd fra egne gjemmer og det blå båndet fra The Ribbon Girl.

Mini mini album a la Yasmin...

Igjen har jeg fulgt en av mine absolutt favorittscrappere, Yasmin's ide og laget min "egen" versjon. 

Jeg er det første til å innrømme at denne ikke er veldig forskjellig fra originalen, og det selvfølgelig fordi originalen var så innmari innmari fin! 

Vil dere se mer av alle de superlekre tingene Yasmin lager så titt her.

Again I've copied one of my alltime favourite scrappers, Yasmin's, idea and made "my own". I am the first to admit that this mini mini album is very much alike the original, of course because the original was sooooo beautiful. 

If you want to see more of the beautiful and cool things Yasmin makes, look here.

Jeg lagde mitt mini mini album som gave til min elskede til Valentine's dagen.

LO; ..when in Paris..

Denne LO'en har jeg laget med bakgrunn i en skisse fra Swirlydoos eminente skissedesigner Beggahuna. Jeg hadde lyst til å bruke dette supersøte bildet av lille Tassen i Paris, hvor han 'nyter' sin espresso og macron, og skissen passet perfect til formålet. 

This LO was made after seeing a swirlydoos sketch, made by their emenient designer Beggahuna.

I wanted to use this super cute picture og Tassen in Paris, where he's 'enjoying' his espresso and macron.

I used a Bo Bunny design paper,  flowers, butterfly and picture mat from Prima, more flowers from Color me Crazy and Wild Orchid Carfts, stems from Petaloo, chippies from RW Lazer Cuts and Dusty Attic, fence and eiffel tower is Cricut dies, bird cage is a Marianne Design die. the small letters are Webster's and the big ones are My Mind's Eye.

Here's the sketch I used, made by Swirlydoos sketch designer Beggahuna.

40 yrs of marriage!

My friends parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary and I made a card for the occation. Inspired by the ever so talented Yasmin, you can find her blog here, and the wonderful Fleur, her blog is here, I made this card. I love the way Fleur uses the Marianne design English roses, so I had to borrow some inspiration there.

One of the things I'm really happy with here is the coloring. I feel that I'm starting to get a hang of my Copics and I love the colors I used.

I made an easel card and used the lovely papers from Maja Design and xxx. Cardstock is TH Adirondack. The motiv is from Lily of the Valley and as I said, colored with Copics. The dies for the flowers and leaves is Marianne design, the swirl die is my all time favorite Doohickey from Magnolia. I used some cheesecloth behind the motiv and cut out the numbers on the Cricut with the "Plantin Schoolbook" cartridge. The label inside is made with a new Cuttlebug die cut-and-emboss set.

The text inside translates: "We don't find happiness, we create it."

Well, I might have found me a new favorite Doohickey; this set of labels that i use for my signature stamp are just adorable and so versatile.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

The cool neighbor!

Our wonderful neighbor in Sweden just turned 80, and a fun card was at it's place. He is so funny and cool, so I had to make a card to match his spirit.

I used a quarter of a paper that I don't remember the brand of, a bit of cardboard dabbed with Adirondack Snow Cap. The dies are Marianne and Magnolia and a die cut from Cricut "Heritage" cartridge. The numbers and letters are Cricut "Plantin Schoolbook" and the flower Prima. I used an image from Kreativ Hobby, colored with Copics. 
 

The text stamp inside is also from KH and it says: 
"Remember! If you want to look 10 yrs younger, you have to turn off the light!"

LO; My favorite street in San Francisco

I got the amazing lazer cut chipboards from Dusty Attic in the mail the other day and I had to do a LO with one of them right away. 

This picture is from my favorite street in San Francisco, not my favorite place, that'll come later in another LO, but the name of this place kind of appeals to me... :-D

I've used the great pattern paper from Bo Bunny and added a skyline die cut on Bazill cardstock made with the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge on my Cricut. The swirl chippie is a DA0219, and the hinge is a DA0509, both used as they are. I used a lot of Prima on this page; flocked rub-ons, flowers and the frame around the picture. A BoBunny locket trinket and Tim Holtz ticket and game spinner. The wood letters are from Panduro and the other letters from Webster's. Can't remember where I got the butterfly and dragonfly.

I had another go at a LO, and I think it's more fun each time I try. I've always thought that LO's is something I probably couldn't do, but I really think they turn out great! 
 
Her ett bilde av min nydelige niese Tessa, som nå er 15 år og like vakker - både på innsiden og utenpå!
