Prima card made for Hobbykunst

After making the prior card, I still had papers left over. This card was made with the left overs from Prima: Reflections - Mantra and Kashana. (I must admit, that I had to go back and get more of the paper - just because I like it so much). 

I have also used splashes of acrylic paint, Prima Color bloom and glimmer mist. The doily is a diecuts from Prima, and so are the measuring tape and bird nest.The flowers are from Prime and Wild Orchid craft.

A vintage winter basket with template

Scandinavia paper fun has a new challenge going. The task for January is winter.

I designed winter basket, and filled it with sweets. I have used some old winter papers from Poppydesign. This is a simple basket to create, and I have included the template below.

The basket has been wrapped in a clear bag, ready to be given as a small gift.

Instructions: 

Cut along the lines and fold along the dashed lines. Glue the tabs along the bottom half edge of the basket, under the the one next to it. You will see the basket is shaped as a round basket. Glue the tabs on the end under the basket to the other side - to create a complete round basket. Glue the tabs in the bottom of the basket from the inside and fit the small round circle inside the basket, to cover the tabs. Glue the shaped circle to the bottom of the basket to cover the tabs from the outside. Mount the handle. I made the handle out of two strips of paper to reinforce it a bit.

Contact me if you would like the studio file (for a Portrait or Cameo).

A winter box - Guest designer for Scrappaloss

This month, I am a guestdesigner over at Scrappaloss, a Scandinavian blog. The theme this month is blue winter, and I have created a winter box with a little owl decoration inside. The box was sent as a "Christmas card" for a friend.

 

The box has been made from Prima papers: - Seashore collection - Seahorse. I have used distress paint, silver and black pens, stencils and gesso to create patters in the paper.  I have also used silver glitter to create the glittery snowflake. I have used some old lace under the snowflakes, and silver-glitter ribbon.

The wood icons are from Prima. The owl is an old brad, mounted inside a frame.The swirls are die cuts, made with dies and silver paper. 

I have made room for a small owl inside the box, and made room for a small personal note inside the lid.
