Fine Meya #2!

Jeg var akkurat ferdig med mitt kort til lille Meya da min svigerinne spurte om jeg ville lage et kort fra dem også, og jeg sa selvsagt ja! 

Det er få ting som er morsommere enn å lage kort for andre, og hennes eneste ønsker var fargene rosa og brunt. 

Jeg har hatt noen "trekkspillkort" fra Bazill liggende en stund, og fant ut at dette var den perfekte tid for det. Jeg ville bruke Papirdesign sitt herlige klippark "Lykkeliten" i rosa, og jeg hadde problemer med å velge hvilken jeg skulle bruke, så da var dette kortet perfekt.

Jeg brukte vimpel- og swirldies fra Magnolia, dies fra Spellbinders, sommerfugl- og kantpunch fra Martha Stewart, der kommer også de små hjertene fra. Bokstavene er en Sizzix-die. Blomst og bling fra Prima, og osteklut og bånd fra Bikuben.

The second card for little Meya, that I made for my sister-in-law, is an accordion card from Bazzill. I used papers from Basic Grey, Pion and a cut-out paper from Papirdesign. Punches from Martha Stewart and dies from Magnolia, Spellbinders and Sizzix. Bling and flower from Prima and cheese cloth and ribbons from Bikuben.

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.

Mormor 1924

My wonderful mormor (grandma) that I love so dearly, just turned 93 and I made a special card for her. 
I found this cute picture of her in a long lost box and wanted to use it to build my card around. In the picture she's holding a little sweet dog named Max, and funny enough that's also the name of one of her two great grandchildren, my nephew Maxwell.

I used the gorgous paper from Pion Design; Minnenas atelje, and also cut out the butterflies and text from one of their papers. The swirl is from Prima, the ribbon from The Ribbon Girl, feather leaf and pin from Wild Orchid Crafts, the pen embellishment is Tim Holtz and the twine from private stash. The crochet flowers are from Panduro, I can't remember where I got the watch face, just that I got it on eBay.
This was my first attempt on an easel card, and I love the fold. There'll be more of these coming!

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
