Some more inspiration from the DooHickey vol 2

Hi again!

Here comes two more projects I made for the DooHickey klub kit magazine vol 2. 

It might be boring for you to see another Christmas card now... Since we are all longing for Spring. I am for sure. But I havent been a good blogger lately, and now when I got some time with my computer, I had to share these project, or else I am afraid I will forget. 

♥♥♥

Firstly I have a card here where I have used several DooHickey dies from Magnolia.

The stamps are from the Nativety collection 2012.

And under you can see the 3D verson of Santa's Sledge.

Hope you like it:)

Pakkelapper med Nativity-stempler

Det er årets siste utfordring hos Hjerteboden's Juleblogg. Og denne måneden er det pakkelapper som står i sentrum:) Du må ha tre julekreasjoner, og minst en av dem skal være en pakkelapp. 

Jeg har laget tre, når jeg først var igang;)

Litt julepapir på tagen, som er fra Maja Design (It's Christmas Time). Tagene er laget med en DooHickeys fra Magnolia som heter Tilda Tag.

Ellers er de søte motivene fra Magnolia, og Nativity Collection 2012. På baksidene har jeg stemplet "To" og "From" som er fra en eldre kolleksjon fra Magnolia (Raising the Celing Collection & Right Trugh my Heart Collecton 2010). Motivene er stemplet på Langton akvarellpapir, og malt med Distress Reinkers.

Jeg har svertet kantene med Distress Ink pute-Walnut Stain og Ink Blending Tool.

 Holy Lamb

Paradise Bird

Edwin as a Wiseman & how to make a shaped card ♥

Here comes a new Christmas Card I have made with two of the lovely Nativity stamps I recived from Magnolia. Here you can see Edwin as Wiseman masked together with Paradise Palm both from the Nativity Collection 2012. I have also used the lovely text Merry Christmas from the A Christmas Story Collection 2012.

I have tried the "No Line" colouring again, where I have stamped the image on a regular paper three times before I stamp it on the water colour paper. Later I have coloured his eyes, eyebrows and the three spots on his cheeks with a black pen. The freckles are made with Distress Marker-Tea Dye.
♥♥♥

My colouring with Distress Ink-Reinkers:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, the cheeks are coloured with a mix of Tattered Rose and Aged Mahogany. 

Hair: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain.

Clothes : Weathered Wood, Pumice Stone, Frayed Burlap and Black Soot 

Crown: Scattered Straw, Aged Mahogany, Black Soot.

Paradise Palm: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain, Shabby Shutters, Black Soot.

I have used a number of DooHickeys on my card too, here are So Wrapped Lovely and Poinsettia. The tag is called Tilda Tag.

♥♥♥

The whole card is shaped with a GoKreate die, called Large Frame Frilly #7 (Product no: 160027). 

After some questions about it, I will now show you how I cut out the shaped card.

I use a Kraft card stock measuring 15x30 cm, a panel 15x15 cm, and the pattern paper 15x15 cm.

I start with the Kraft Card Stock:

 Which I fold in the middle, like this:

Then I find the largest of the Go Kreate dies (14x14 cm) and place it on the cutting machine like this:

I then take the Kraft Card Stock and lay it on the die, but leave some open on the top:

Then I run the die with the paper in through the cutting machine (I have a transparent plate over and one under the die).

And here is what the card base looks like:

I don't want the card to be flat on the top, so therefore I cut out a panel and a pattern paper to place on the front. I need a panel under the pattern paper so that I can sew them together, and then glue them to the card base.

Here are the three parts cut out.

And you can see how I place the panel and the pattern paper on to the base.

I only glue them to the base after they are sewed together and the front is fully decorated.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog, and have a lovely Sunday evening!

Take care ♥

Holy Tilda with Violin ♥

Here I am again with a new card:) 

And this time it is Holy Tilda with Violin from Magnolia's Nativity Collection 2012. 

She is really too cute for words:)

The stamps around her are mainly from Stempelglede. 

The lovely papers are from Maja Design, and the paper pad called It's Christmas Time.

Both this image and the image I posted yesterday were colored at Stordascrappen some weeks ago. I was really not satisfied with the coloring, and consider to throw them both in the bin. But after matching them with the lovely Maja papers, and a doily behind, it went ok.. 

I have been really busy at work, with Magnolia Ink and the workshops at Stordascrappen lately, so therefor a bit silent in my blog. And I haven't had time to visit all the wonderful blogs of yours either..

So sorry about that!

I hope I will have some more time crafting the weeks ahead:)

♥♥♥

On the photo under you can see the gorgeous flower berries from Magnolia together with some roses from WOC. I have also bought myself the new Christmas lace DooHickey from Magnolia and used it on this card. It is really lovely!

I got the idea to put a pearl string around the image from Debbie Dolphin's stunning cards:))

She is such an amazing crafter and a lovely friend too:)) 

I am so glad that I have gotten to know her through my hobby. 

My dream is to travel to England and visit her in 2013. 

I really hope it will be a dream come true ♥

Wish you all a wonderful day!!

Take care ♥

Holy Tilda with Lamb on a small wreath:)

Heisann!

Nå er vi klare for en ny utfordring hos MDUC igjen. 

Og vi vil se kranser, enten på kort og kreasjoner, eller bare som en krans i seg selv.

Jeg har laget en krans, der jeg trykket ut en mal med Spellbinder dies, 

så dekorerte jeg den med papirsnurrer fra Kort & Godt, noen roser og pyntebær og seem binding bånd.

Motivet er fra Magnolia sin siste kolleksjon, The Nativity Collection, og heter Holy Tilda with Lamb.

Ta turen innom MDUC sin blogg og les mer om utfordringen, og se

de nydelige kreasjonene til mine fantastiske og talentfulle venner!:))

Tusen takk for at du besøker bloggen min!

Ha en fin søndag:)
