The challenge - 10 cards, 10x10cm and one sheet of patterned paper.

A few weeks ago, I got the new stamps from Huldra design. They have Norwegian texts and are so inspirering. I created 10 - 10cm x 10 cm cards and a box with one sheet of paper. Huldra designstudio also has a challenge and you can find out how to enter at the bottom of the blog post.

I only used one sheet of patterned paper - so these are a One sheet wonder - set of cards. I used the sweet Counting sheep paper from Doodlebug. This paper has sweet sheeps at the front and flowers on the back side. With a one sheet wonder, you then get two different patterns to use. 

All the cards are different. I have only used stamps fra Huldra designstudio.

Nevelfjell - A Prima layout with stones and map lichen

This is a simple mixed media layout I created for the magazine The Papercrafting a while back. It's no secret that Prima has been one of my favourite brands for a lot of years.  Therefore, I also have a lot of Prima stuff and old collections in my craft studio. This layout was created as an article to inspire to use some of your old craft stuff that you might have in your craft room. 

The papers are Prima's Salvage District colletions - Chateau and Forever Green collection - Watch them grow and  Nature's Bounty. To create the stones with moss, I used Prima paper and painted it with Rayher kreativ concreate paste and FolkArt moss paste. To create the grass, I used car polishing yarn and coloured it with different green alcohol inks. I painted the sky with with a mixture og white gesso and blue paint with a spunge.

All the items have been mounted with 3D tape in layers, to create dimensions in the layers.

Good luck with finding old scrapping collections in your craft rooms. 

A pink Prima carousel

Today, it's another fantastic summer day here on the eastern coast of Norway. Today, I am showing you a project with a sweet summer feeling. 

This paper crousel do turn around. It has been created with a lot of old Prima papers. The Pink papers are from the Meoldy collection. Hobbykunst has only got the Prima Melody Troubador left. I have also used Prima's stationers desk collection with Prima - Stationers Desk - Fine Print.

The Flamingos, leaves and the Pineapples has been fussy cut from the paper Fancy Pants: Summer Fun - Hello Sunshine.

The carousel itself has been created after an idea of an old toy. The carousel has been designed in Silhouette studio and has been cut with a Silhouette machine. 

On the top of the carousel, I used an old door handle in wood, and coloured it with Finnabair's wax.

Wishing you all a happy summer. 

Sweet with concrete and brick

This mixed media layout/canvas has been created with one of the round wooden trays from Hobbykunst.  The background paper is from Ella & Viv: Concrete Brick Wall - Backgrounds.

Everything has been built up with 3D tape to create dimention.

I used metal from different brands in the background. The flowers has been cut out from the paper Sainte Maxime - St. Tropez fra Prima. This paper is fantastic to use as fussy cut flowers, instead of using ready made flowers.  The text in the background has been made with an old Tim Holtz stencil and Rayher's conrete paste. This paste is fantastic to use with stencils. 

Here, I have used different die cuts created with dies from Rayher: Doilie dies, wine leaf dies, flower dies and star dies. All the paper die cuts has been painted with Extreme Sheen - Metallik bronzet to create the metal bronze colour. 

The pinkest of Flamingos start of gray

Today I am giving you some happy summer CAS inspiration.

The inspiration for this card was the flamingos from the Time for tea paper collection. 

I used the word die, smile and the boarder die Holly boarder to created the shape around the flamingos.

The text "The pinkest of Flamingos start of gray" was written with a black pen.

Tthe pieces was mounted on 3D foam to create dimentions in the card.

The back of the card was simply decorated with a circle with Flamingos created with Fancy circles dies set and banners created with the Fancy Rectangles & Layers die set.

Wishing you a happy crafty summer
