Masculine card with structure paste

Have you tried Rayher's structure paste? It's really good. It's quite thick and good to use with stencils. It has a metalic look to it in cobber, gold, silver eller silver white and it smells of chewing gum.

Here, I have used the structure paste in cobber together with a stencil from Tim Holtz. 

The shape of the card is made with a card die LDRS - LDRS: Grace Build-A-Card Dies.  The paper in black and white and the with the motive with the man is My Minds Eye: Strong Man W/Copper - Hey Mister Foiled. The gray paper in the background and the wooden paper is from Majas Nyhavn collection. I have also used black Epoxy pebbles. 

My new years tip is Rayher's structure paste.

Top 10 2017 - 2017 in in review

2017 has been a different year, and a year of change for me. I started the year with writing for to magazines - Ett trykk and The papercrafting, and beeing on two amazing design teams for scrap book manifacturers - Kaisercraft and LDRS creative, and design team for Norways best craft shop (in my opinion) - Hobbykunst. 

Scandinavian Scrapbooker of the year 2016

I was also nominated for Scandinavian Scrapbooker og the year 2016 in March. I don't really like nominations like this, and there are a lot of reasons for that. One of them is that there are a lot of fantastic artists that will never be nominated for things like this. To be honest, this was a difficult nomination, as I was nominated with a few of my close friends. I really wanted my friends to win this. I was very happy to see that Susanne was the winner of this title. 

My top 10

Choosing top 10 was difficult, but I have chosen a few different creations. The first half of the year, I was crafting every day, as you really need to work hard, beeing on several design teams. I had several layouts at CHA for Kaisercraft, and a dress and cards at CHA for LDRS creative. I was published i the Kaisercraft magazines a few times over the year. I also had a few craft classes. 

The last half year, I have reduced the hours of crafting. There is a lot of personal reasons for this, and I am never really to personal when I write my blogposts or on social media. I have moved from one town to another, changed job and I am now getting settled. This is taking a lot of my time, and this is why I have reduced the number of hours used on crafting. I finished as a designer for Kaisercraft and writing for the magazine Ett trykk.  I will still write for the Papercrafting, and design for LDRS creative and Hobbykunst in 2018.

Christmas tag with LDRS creative

It's the 23rd of December, and in Norway - this is the day before Christmas. We celebrate the 24th of December as our main day with dinner and gifts. I have created a Christmas tag, using Petal Wishes Accordion Die together with Holly Wreath Circle Die Set and Dotty Doily Die Set.

The stamps used here is the North Woods - Critter Stamps & Dies. The trees has been stamped and painted with distress ink. The moose has been stamped, coloured and cut out with dies from the stamp and die set. This is the fantastic thing about this set. You get dies with the stamps. No need to fussy cut the stamped images. 

I have used kraft cardstock and a sheet og light green patterned paper from the sweet Winter Land - 6x6 Paper Pack.

Wishing you all a sweet Christmas celebration.

Five gift tags in the same style

Today, it's my turn to shown something from Hobbykunst's advent calendar. It's the last few days before Christmas, and not to much time to create something. Today, I am showing some gift tags. 

I often like to wrap Christmas present's with nice paper and home made gift tags. In these tags, I have worked with Maja design's Denim and Friends collection and dies from LDRS and Rayher. The motives are from Alexandra Renke - Fuchs Kreise with these fantastic sweet foxes painted in watercolours. The Merry Christmas words is from a paper from Kaisercraft's Mint Wishes collection.

Five gift tags in the same style.

All the gift tags have been created in the same style, with different motives from the same paper. Diecuts have been layered on the top of each other with 3D tape in between the layers. The edges has been distressed with destress oxide ink.
