Mixed media Layout with Kaisercraft's Wandering Ivy

This is a mxed media layout created with one of Kaisercraft's new collections - Wandering Ivy, together with a large mix of different products; Prima and Mathia flowers, inks, images from Tim Holtz and lots of beads. The layout has been created for Hobbykunst.


Mixed Media projects can often become quite heavy, if you use a lot of scrap metal like I have done here. Therefore, I have mounted the layout on thick canvas cardboard. 


The paper Ivy Wall, has been divided in the horisontally in the center.  This has been done to make the leaves split the page. The layout has been built from the backround leaves. I used distress oxide and distress ink, together with a sponge and stencil.


All the metal pieces was first painted black. I used pieces from old sewing machines, clocks, sewing machines, old typewriters and buttons. The pieces has then been dry painted with green, gold and copper paint. 


I have used Mathia leaves, together with Mathia and Prima flowers. The images of the people are from a packet of vintage images from Tim Holtz. These are brilliant to use for projects like these, where yu don't really want to use your own family photos. 


The golden ring, is an old plastic ring. I painted it golden and used som golden foil on it whilte the paint was wet. 


The text is a sticker from Kaisercraft. Super cute to use for texts on layouts. The circular beads, are from an old vintage necklace.


Around the layout, I have used beads and bling in green and gold.

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 cobbergoldsilver 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.
