New challenges!! DT Scrapberry's, Craftmoly & Korthobby.

Oh yes.. It's the first couple of days into a new month and it's time for new challenges. This time I did a 3 in 1. 3 challenges into one piece :)

Allright! Let me tell you about all the challenges my piece is about. 

• Scrapberry's - It's all about pink. Make a project using loads of pink!
• CraftyMoly - Flower Power. So projects with loads of flowers
• Korthobby.no - Anything Goes as long as you use metals from Korthobby. 

                                                        Here's my finished piece: 

This is a commisson piece I made for a friend who was going to a baby shower. So don't worry I'm not pregnant and I'm not having a girl. LOL. The UL picture is just for illustration :) 

I've used papers from Scrapberry's including embellishements like flowers and resins. The chipboard leaves and hearts are from Crafty Moly. 

Isn't this little bunny sooo cute. I've used two 6x6" Paper Pads from Scrapberry's. And this one comes in the "My Little Star" collection. The little rattle and the button is also Scrapberry's embellishment.

This heart charm is from Korthobby.no and is one of my favorite metal pieces. The hanger is from Crafty Secrets but I had this in my stash for quite sometime.

I hope you'll join in on some of the challenges I listed in the top of this post! Thank you so much for stopping by! :)

Kissing Couple Card - DT Flying Unicorns

Hello lovelies! Back today like I promised with yet another video tutorial and a new project! Today I made a tutorial on who to fold a card and embellish it.

This card is perfect for any occation like weddings, valentines, to that special friend, and I do love the folding on this, I've taught loads of classes doing this techinque and I'm pretty sure it has a fancy flashy name, but I don't really know it.

I've made the card with the same collection as yesterday the Maja Design "Summer Crush" collection. I've embellished loads with flowers and say it in crystals, all from Prima Marketing.

Here's the video tutorial: 

There you have it. I think this type of folding is just so decorative and you can make it in the size you like as long as the paper is square. 

The insert, you can pretty much put almost whatever you like inside as  long as it's flat and not to thick. 

Gorgeous prima flowers and pearls. The dots on the papers are made with Art Anthology Dimensional Crystals - Blizzard. 

I will be joining some challenge with my card: 

• Card and Scrap - Lace Challenge
• Kreativ Hobby - Vintage Challenge
• Craft your passion - Anything Goes Challenge
• Cards und more - Use Ribbon Challenge
• Scrappelyst - 3 mønsterark Challenge
• Simply PaperCraft - Anything Goes Challenge
• Chocolate, Coffe & Card - Ribbon Challenge

Thank you so much for stopping by today, and have a great easter and a marvellous crafty day! 

Happy Layout - DT Flying Unicorn & Maya Road.

Hi all! Today I'm up on the Flying Unicorn blog with two projects today, but I'll be splitting that post into two seperate blogposts to prevent the post being so long, so today I'll be sharing a layout made with Maja Designs "Summer Crush" Collection featuring loads of Prima and Maya Road products. I also made a video tutorial to go with it. :)

This page had such happy colors so if found the title quite fitting for this page. 

I've used gesso in the background, but it doesn't show as well as I wanted I'm afraid. Splashed with colorbloom sprays and white dyluisons white linen mist. 

If you would like to see this layout step-by-step. Please take a look at my video tutorial:

The title is a chipboard piece from 13@rts. The little hanger and paper clip piece is from Maya Road. Love those. The little felt flowers are also Maya Road. The Pearls are from Prima. 

The dimensional crystals from Art Anthology gives a lot of interest to the page. 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today and make sure to visit tomorrow for a new project and video tutorial. 

Solbriller - Layout Marion Smith Designs

Oh yes! My turn today over at the Marion Smith Designs blog and this time I made a layout with the awesome Nirvana Collection.

I just love this picture of my son Collin. This was taken in Spain last year and he looks sooo cool in this newly purchased sunglasses..The tittle is a norwegian song lyric and sounds kinda cheesy in English. But roughly translated it means: "I have to have my sunglasses on" :)

I've used a couple of different papers form the Nirvana Collection, and layered them up! Love Layers. My background is Art Anthology Gesso & Velvet.

I've tried to take a pictue of the layers on my layout. I also love to fuzzy cut flowers and other potential embellishments from the papers.

This little sweet camera piece is also a Marion Smith Designs embellishment.. It's actually a charm, but I hid the loop under the paper, Don't you just love this?

Oh well.. that's all I had for today!:) Have a fantastic Monday and thanks for stopping by :)

New Skissedilla Sketch and 3rd Eye Layout!

March is my month over at the 3rd Eye Blog and I'm going to post projects for them 4 times this month, it's also Skissedilla sunday and I combined the two to make this layout. :)

The girls at Skissedilla got sponsered by the polish papermanufacturer "Studio Tekturek". Happy sweet papers. :) This is the sketch I scrapped after:

and here's my layout: 

I've used 3rd Eye embellishements and stamps to create my layout. I've used butterfly chipboard, sunray chipboard and buttons.

I also used the new beam circle stamp.. my new love!! With the butterfly on top it looks so awesome! :)

I also used the large honeycomb stamp and the rays chipboard. The honeycomb stamp I've used distress stains on to get a more distressed look on the stamping. I colored the rays with a bit of yellow watercolors.  

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.. Hope you'll join in our skissedilla challenge! :) 

Card with a giftbag - DT Art Anthology & Inkido

Today I have a card with a matching giftbag to show you! 

The papers I've use are from Inkido. The papers are from older collection, but still so loveable! :) 

The stars is curragated and also from Inkido. The roses are too.. Gorgeous flowers. :) I've used Cotton Pink Velvet and Kona Brown Velvet to create the background on the paper. It matched perfectly to the papers. 

The flowers are misted with Cinnamon Toast and Patience Colorations. Rich and vibrant colors! I also topped the off with a little layer of white gesso! :)

You can see the beautiful writing on the paper from Inkido! Thanks for stopping by my blog today! :) Have a great creative evening :)

New Mixed Media Card with Art Anthology

Hi! I have a card today made with Art Anthology products! :) Should have been a valentines card today, but oh well.. :)

I love making these mixed media cards. So fun to play with out any rules! :) The text is norwegian and says something like: "Who beautiful the day is when it's touched by kindness".

On this card I started useing a stencil with some Frost sorbet.. But I covered it up.. lol.. almost everything anyways. You can see some of the stencil work in the buttom corners. I used different types of embellishements I had laying around and worked with layers on top of layers. I misted with the colorations colors: Timeless, Honey Bee, Paprika and Watermelon. The text was embossed on with clear powder on white cardstock.

I hope you liked my card and I hope you'll have a super romantic Valentines day.. Thanks for dropping by :)

Mixed Media Card with Art Anthology

Today I have a card to show you made with the awesome products from Art Anthology. Hope you like it :)

I love embellishing and misting and using masks and everything and this card I did it all (yeeey!) The beautiful Birthday wishes stamp are from "Poppydesign". 

Making a card like this is the perfect way to get rid of some of you extra scrap pieces of paper. I started out with some strips of paper and glued it to a simple base. I used a stencil with Frost Sorbet and made small cherry blossoms in the background. 

You can see the way the sorbet shines to the light. I also used Cotton Candy Velvet with a dot stencil on the top of the cherry blossoms. 

I misted to on top with watermelon, honey bee, timeless and Paprika Sorbet. I used it together with water to mixed the colors together. Dried it all up and used a bit of Art Anthology Gesso on top and there you have it. A fun mixed media card! :) Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a creative night! :)
