Marihøne ~ Ladybug

Jeg vil bare vise hvordan jeg enkelt laget marihønen som jeg limte inni kortet til barnehagen.

I just want to show how I made the ladybug inside the card I made for the Kindergarten.


Jeg bruker en Spellbinder Nestsabillites die.

Kort med billett tutorial ~ Card with ticket tutorial

Mange av oss har disse fine billett stemplene fra Autumn Leaves, også jeg, men jeg har ikke noen punch eller dies som passer akkurat denne størrelsen. Jeg har derfor funnet på en enkel måte å få de til å se mer ut som billetter enn bare å klippe ut rektangler. Alle bildene kan klikkes på for å få se dem større.
♥ ♥ ♥
Many of us have got these nice ticket stamps by Autmn Leaves, me too, but I do not have a punch or a die that fits the size. So I came up with a simple way to make them look a little more like tickets than what they do when I just cut them in rectangles. All pictures are clickable for a larger view.

Motivstemplet er Elle fra Rubber Romance ~ The image is Elle By Rubber Romance

 

Utstyret jeg bruker ~ The things I use

Stemple billettene ~ Stamp the tickets

Bruk linjal og tegn strek under og over og stiplet linje på sidene ~ Use a ruler and draw lines on top and bottom, and dotted lines on the sides

Punch så 4 hull i hjørnene ~ Punch 4 holes in the corners

Slik ~ Like this

Klipp etter linjene ~ Cut near the lines

Ferdig! ~ Finished! ☺

Jeg vant blogcandy! ~ I won blogcandy!

Jeg var så heldig å bli trukket som vinner av dette supre stemplet hos Lisbet i Scrapmagasinet!

Tusen takk Lisbet!

Hekling ~ Crochet

Jeg ble spurt av KortmaniTove om jeg ville vise frem bestemors rutene mine. De skulle liksom bli et pledd til min lille gyngestol, og jeg var ganske flink da jeg begynte for litt mer enn to år siden... Men det stoppet opp - så rart! Vel, kanskje jeg skal begynne å hekle litt igjen, det kunne vært artig å se det ferdig. Dette er i bomullsgarn, heklenål nr. 3, så det 'vokser' ganske fort når jeg hekler!
Y Y Y
I was asked by KortmaniTove to show my Grand Grannie Squares. I was going to make a afghan for my little rocking chair, and I did good when I started on it two years ago... But then I stopped - how strange! Well, perhaps I should start again, it would be nice to see the finished afghan. These are made of cotton yarn, needle #3, so it 'grows' pretty fast when I chrochet!

Punch fun! ☺

Jeg liker godt å bruke papir-pynt på kortene mine, i går hadde jeg et lite hjerte på et kort, her ser dere.
I like to use paper embellishments on my cards, yesterday I put a small heart on a card, here you can see.


Jeg brukte to hjertepuncher for å lage det, puncher først med det minste hjertet, så med det største.
I used two heart punches to make it, punch the smallest heart first, then the largest.

Etterhvert har jeg skaffet meg ganske mange puncher, og kan prøve ut denne 'teknikken' med flere figurer. (Beklager de utydelige bildene...)

I've got a lot of punches, so I can do this 'technique' with other figures too. (Sorry about the blurry pictures...)

Til læreren ~ For the teacher

Sønnen min, Magnus, får ny lærer i august, og klassen hans må si 'ha det' til sin kjære lærer Elisabeth. De skal gi en liten gave, og jeg har laget dette kortet som skal følge med.

Stemplet er fra hÄnglar & stÄnglar.

♥ ♥ ♥

My son, Magnus, gets a new teacher in August, and his class have to say 'bye bye' to their dear teacher Elisabeth. They will give her a little present, and I made this card to go along with it.

The image is by hÄnglar & stÄnglar.

(The words on the tags say 'Thank You!' and the letters in the corner say 'hug'.)

Hage hÄngel ~ Garden hÄngel

Endelig fikk jeg ferdig et kort, er ikke særlig kreativ for tiden...

Har tegnet gress, blomster og maur selv. Den rosa clips'en er ikke så 'skrikende' i fargen i virkeligheten.

Y Y Y

Finally I was able to finish a card, I'm not very creative these days... I drew the grass, flowers and ants myself. The pink clip is not as bright IRL as it shows on the scan.

6x6 oppbevaring ~ 6x6 storage

Jeg må bare vise dere hva jeg fant på Jysk her om dagen. En kurv som passer perfekt til å oppbevare 6x6 papir i. Jeg har alltid hatt problemer med oppbevaring av dette papirformatet, men nå har jeg funnet noe som passer for meg! ☺
Y Y Y
I just want to show you a box I found at Jysk the other day. It's perfect to store 6x6 papers in. I've always had problems finding a good way of storing papers this size, now I got this and it's just the thing for me! ☺



. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . It's called ELINOR 15x18x29 cm



. . . . . . With just a few papers, the nice thing is that they don't slide in the box!



. . . . . . . . One can use these book support things if necessary...



. . .. . . . .. Well, mine is full, I'll go and buy another one right away! ☺

Here's how a clever lady made her own 6x6 storage:
