Try It Out Tuesday #20 ~ Belle


Try It Out Tuesday today was to use watercolors on our images. I colored with Distress Inks. I got this gorgeous ballerina in the mail today, and I just had to use her on a card right away! It's the pretty Belle from Victoria Case for SCACD, Hearts and Hugs collection. The big flower is Prima's Dandies. I used a Nestabilitie die to cut the image out.

Try It Out Tuesday #19 ~ Flowers

Click to enlarge


This week we were to use flowers on our cards for the DT challenge, like flowers in the image, on the papers and our embellishments. I picked an image with lots of flowers, it's called Tea for Two from Victoria Case for SCACD, Hearts and Hugs collection, fantastic new stamp designs, they are so much fun to work with!
The sentiment is also from SCACD, see them here: Susanaments. The flowers I've used on my card are from Susana's, (except the tiny yellow roses.) I had to put some Kaisercraft Rhinestones on my card, like I do on almost every card I make these days!

Cute Card Thursday Challenge ~ Letters/Numbers




Here's my entry for the 60th challenge at the Cute Card Thursday challenge blog, we were to use letters or numbers on our cards.
I'm so thrilled about these beautiful new stamps from SCACD, the Hearts and Hugs Collection, I loved to use this cute stamp called Just Because on my card, colored with my Prismacolors. The green glittery flower is a new kind that comes with a rhinestone in the middle, they're called Petaloo Dazzlers, cute!
Here's a confession; I've grown addicted to the Kaisercraft Rhinestones, so I had to put some of them on my card...
I painted Shimmerz on the sweet fairy's wings and on the letters, but it doesn't show well on the pictures. I cut the letters using Tadpole Alpha by CuttleKids.

It's here! Victoria Case for SCACD! BLOG HOP!



Today is the big release of a brand new line of stamps at Susana's!
It's Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design, the Hearts and Hugs Collection!

We, the Design Team members, are doing a blog hop today to show you all the fabulous new stamp designs. Please start the Blog Hop over at Suzanne Dean's wonderful blog: ScrapBitz.



Don't you just love these little darlings? This image is called Nuts for You. Had to go with my favorite color combo, and I just love to color the eyes on the images I use on my cards, this cutie pie has got green eyes. I colored with Prismacolor pencils. The sentiment is also brand new, it's one of ten and they are called Susanaments, they go very well with the images in this fabulous stamp collection.



To embellish my card I used flowers by Petaloo and Prima, heart shaped buttons, beaded pins, rhinestones, ribbon and Scrappers Floss. I cut the Susanament out with a QuicKutz cookie cutter die, and cut the image with a Nestabilitie die.




Thanks for looking at my card, now I'll give you the link to the next blog in this blog hop, it's my fabulous DT sister Danni Bindel's blog: Danni's Dreams.


Please go to the Victoria Case blog also today to see wonderful cards made by her DT members using the super cute images from the Hearts and Hugs collection!

Ugle-kort ~ Owl card

Click to enlarge ~ Klikk for større bilde


Dette er et kort som jeg har hatt inni hodet lenge. Jeg kjøpte disse klesklypene rett før jul, og ville bruke en som en slags gren til en ugle. Så fikk jeg meg dette søte uglestemplet fra The Greeting Farm, og endelig fikk jeg litt tid til å pusle kortet sammen. Har fargelagt med ProMarkers og Prismacolor. Blader er QuicKutz, har brukt diverse puncher, swirl fra BossKut, blomster fra Petaloo, Nestabilities dies, rhinestones, bånd, Scrapper's Floss.






This is a card I've had in my head for some time now. I bought these clothes pins just before Christmas, and pictured them as sort of a branch for an owl. (We don't use this kind of clothes pins in Norway, so I had to order them from the US.) Then I got my self this cute owl stamp from The Greeting Farm, and finally I had some time to puzzle the card together. I colored with ProMarkers and Prismacolors. Leaves are by QuicKutz, used various punches, swirl is by BossKut, flowers by Petaloo, Nestabilities dies, rhinestones, ribbons, Scrapper's Floss.

Try it out Tuesday #17 Mother's Day


Tuesday and a new DT challenge at SCACD, a gift set for Mother's Day.
I went out of my comfort zone on this one, usually I stick to the 6"x6" size, but I've been meaning to try to make an envelope card for some time now. I found this great tutorial at Bodil's blog, I just had to give it a try.
Along with the card I got a jar from IKEA, decorated it and filled it with jelly beans. Don't know if it would suit a mom, probably the kids bringing the jar would get to eat most of the beans...
I used the cute Polka Dot Butterfly by Lockhart Stamp Company from Susana's, colored with Pro Markers. Used Scrapper's Floss for antennas, and Glitter Dots in the center of the flowers.
Printed the sentiment from my computer, cut it out with Nestabilities dies.


On the company blog Follow Your Heart you can see all the wonderful cards and creations by the rest of the DT ladies!





I just put a small note inside to show how it would look like:

Thinking of You


Finally a new card from me! I've been spending so much time at work lately, also this weekend, that my card making is suffering... Thanks to all of you great people stopping by my blog, even if the cards sometimes are few and far between.

On this card I inked up the lovely Julia by Rubber Romance from Susana's Custom Art & Card Design for the first time. She looks so relaxed and beautiful with her book and tea, don't you think? The sentiment is by Whipper Snapper. The Bella Baubles from Susana's are fabulous to use in the flower centers.
