TIOT #25

♥

When you see this card, I'm still on vacation in Greece, pre-posting is a great thing!

Our Tuesday challenge at the SCACD design team this week is to make a card with the colors red, white and blue. It's the 4th of July soon, and the Americans have their Independence day to celebrate! I must say that using these colors brings feelings and thoughts about our Independence day celebrations over here in Norway, on the 17th of May. We have the same colors in our flag, and we use them a lot on the 17th of May.

Well, on my card I used the lovely image Follow Your Heart from Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design, the Hearts and Hugs Collection. The Petaloo Dazzlers combined with punched flowers was enough embellishments on this card.

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

I hope all of my American friends will have a fabulous 4th of July!

Greece - here we come!!!

Finally it's vacation time! We're leaving for Santorini in the afternoon today! We're going island hopping as usual, and every year we have to stop at Amorgos and Antiparos to visit our Greek friends.

I have made a card and pre-posted it to show on Tuesday 30th, nice if you'll stop by and have a look then!

So, for two weeks now I'll be off line - and it's actually OK!

Bye, bye - or as they say in Greece: Yassou!

Here are some pictures from our trip last year.

TIOT #24 ~ Emilia

♥

A new Tuesday and a new challenge over at Susana's design team, make a summer card and use transparency/acetate. Well, that's really a challenge, the acetate part, I think I've used it a couple of times before...
On my card today I used the cute Emilia from Anki's Sweethearts Series 2 for SCACD, cut her out with a Nestabilities die. For the transparency part of the challenge I used butterflies from I Brake For Stamps, stamped with embossing ink and put embossing powder on it, heated it with my heat gun, then cut them out. Put some stickles on the roses and butterfly wings, added Kaisercraft Rhinestones on the butterflies and in a corner of the card.

Sukker # 44 ~ Sugar # 44

Endelig fikk jeg laget et kort til en utfordring på Sukkersött bloggen igjen, det er en stund siden forrige gang... Denne uken skal det være blomster på kortene, og jeg har valgt et motiv med masse blomster, Alexa fra Susana's Custom Art & Card Design, fargelagt med Prismacolor blyanter, teksten er også fra SCACD.

Finally I was able to make a card for the Sugar Sweet blog again, it's been a while... This week we are to use flowers on our cards, and I chose an image with lots of flowers, Alexa by Susana's Custom Art & Card Design, colored with Prismacolor pencils, the sentiment is also by SCACD.

More new Anki's Sweethearts!

♥

Here's a new card with one of the oh so sweet images from our own talented Anki! This is Victoria, a princess, perhaps Anki got her inspiration from Sweden's crown princess Victoria?
Tomorrow, Friday 12th the new Anki's Sweethearts Series 2 will be available on SCACD.

I made a stair step accordion fold card for this lovely image. I got my drawing pen out again and made a simple castle, and the crown for my froggy prince. I colored with Prismacolor pencils.
The Petaloo flowers suited this card very nicely, added some sparkle to it.

The sentiment is a Susanament, I don't know if it's for the frog prince chasing his dream of the princess, or if it's Victoria dreaming of prince Charming in the shape of a frog - who needs to be kissed...?

Don't forget about the Blog Candy - head over to the store blog Follow Your Heart for more info on that one, you have until tonight to join, American time.

Come back tomorrow for yet another card with one of the wonderful new Sweethearts!

Try It Out Tuesday #22 ~ Father's Day

♥

For this week's TIOT challenge we were to make a card and a gift for fathers day. With this I finished my 'work' early this year, since we in Norway celebrate Father's Day in November.

I've used an owl and a sentiment by Pink Cat Studio from SCACD, colored with Prismacolor pencils to make a card and a bookmark. The sentiment on the ribbon tag is by Aud Design. Added heart shaped buttons, ribbons and Kaisercraft Rhinestones. Made good use of my beloved Nestabilities dies too. I cut the letters using Tadpole Alpha by CuttleKids.

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

Come and visit the DT blogs tomorrow and on Thursday, there will be sneak peeks of the new wonderful stamps Anki's Sweethearts Series 2 that will be available on SCACD Friday 12th!

It's so nice to make a card again, long time with no creative 'outbursts' - I feel I really need them!
This lovely image is called Singing in the Rain from
Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design, the Hearts and Hugs Collection. I love these girls Victoria Case designed for Susana, can't get enough of them, love that I can color their eyes too! The sentiment is also by SCACD, you can find the whole set of
Susanaments here. I've used Petaloo flowers.
