Welcome! ~ Velkommen!
Here, in my little corner of bloglandia, is my blog about my crafts. Until recentley I've blogged about my card making. Now, in 2011, I'll try to do different things also, such as sewing (patchwork), knitting, crochet, baking, along with some card making...

Sukkersøtt - utfordring ~ Sugar Sweet - challenge

Da har jeg endelig fått laget et kort til den første utfordringen på den norske utfordringsbloggen Sukkersøtt. Hilde/Stempelgal har laget utfordingen; man skal la seg inspirere av navnet til Sukkersøtt bloggen, kortet skal ikke være kvadratisk og man skal bruke charms.
Jeg legger ved både en scannet og en fotografert utgave av mitt kort, synes ikke scanneren viser de tredimensjonale detaljene så bra, men så er jeg heller ikke noe særlig til fotograf, så derfor to bilder...
Motivstemplet er fra GCS (Great Canadian Stamp).

Klikk på bildene for å s dem i større utgave.

I finally finished my first entry to the new Norwegian challenge blog
Sukkersøtt. (Sugar Sweet) Hilde/Stempelgal came up with the challenge; use the name of the Sugar Sweet blog to get inspired, do an non-square card, and use charms.
I'm posting both a scanned and a photographed version of my card. The scanner doesn't show three dimension details very well, but my photographing skills are not very much to talk about either, so - two pics...
The image is by GCS (Great Canadian Stamp), the sentiment says 'You deserve a flower'

Man kan delta på utfordringene på Sukkersøtt bloggen selv om man ikke bor i Norge, men det er en norskspråklig blogg, så de som ikke forstår norsk kan kanskje benytte seg av slike oversettings sider som finnes på nettet...

You can participate in the Sugar Sweet challenges even if you live outside Norway, but the language used on the blog is Norwegian, so if you do not understand Norwegian you can use one of the translation sites on the internet...

Tag kort ~ Tag cards

Et par kort med tags ble det...

A couple of cards with tags...



Dette Magnolia-kortet skal min niese få til sin bursdag til høsten. Hun er akkurat nå på ferie i Paris, så jeg syntes dette kortet kunne passe. Bilettstemplet er fra Stampington & Company. Hadde ikke bånd i riktig farge, så jeg heklet et 'bånd' selv...

I'll give this Magnolia card to my niece for her birthday in the fall. At the moment she's on vacation in Paris, so I think this card will be OK. The ticket stamp is by Stampington & Company. I didn't have a ribbon in a suitable color, so I made this 'ribbon' (crochet)...
The sentiment says: Have a wonderful day!

Ikke så mye å si om dette kortet, det søte motivet er fra hänglar & stÄnglar. Fikk brukt min nye Cuttlebug sommerfugl og mitt nye Cuttlekids Tapole alfabet for første gang.

Nothing much to say about this card, the cute image is by hänglar & stÄnglar. Got to use my new Cuttlebug butterfly and my new Cuttlekids Tapole alpha for the first time.

Små kort ~ Small cards



Jeg har laget to små kort, de er 10 x 10 cm. På det ene har jeg stemplet med Fat Birds fra Bam Pop og har tegnet greinene selv. På det andre er det er hÄnglar & stÄnglar motiv. Teksten på begge er fra Norsk Stempelblad.
Nå blir det stille her i bloggen min en tid, vi skal reise på ferie og blir borte et par uker.
Y Y Y
I've made two small cards, they're app. 4"x4". I've used the Fat Birds stamps by Bam Pop and drew the branches myself. The other card has got an hÄnglar & stÄnglar image, sentiments are by Norsk Stempelblad, (The Norwegian Stamping Magazine).
I will not make any new posts the next couple of weeks, we're going on a vacation.

Til barnehagen ~ For the Kindergarten

Har laget et kort til småbarns-avdelingen i barnehagen, Isak har i dag siste dagen der før ferien, og etter ferien begynner han på storbarns-avdelingen. Dette kortet skal være et lite tegn på takknemmligheten vi føler for de flotte personene som har tatt godt vare på lillegutten vår i to år.
Motivet er fra GCS (Great Canadian Stamp) kjøpte det på Kortgleder.
♥ ♥ ♥
I made a card for the kindergarten, Isak has his last day today in the youngest children's part. After the vacation he will start in the older children's part of the kindergarten. This card is a small token of the grattitude we feel for all of the nice persons that have taken good care of our little boy for the last two years.
The image is by GCS (Great Canadian Stamp).

The words say: Thank you! and: Have a nice summer




The sentiment in the corner says: A greeting from the heart


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! ☺

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 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.

Bilder fra Hellas ~ Pictures from Greece

Nå er det over en uke siden vi kom hjem fra ferien, tiden flyr!
Vi hadde en kjempefin tur, og der var herlig å treffe våre greske venner igjen.
Y Y Y
It's now more than a week since we got back from our vacation, time flies!
We had a wonderful trip, and it was great to meet our Greek friends again.
