A Steampunk card with Grid techique


This card is a result of a Steampunk class with Gry Anita this weekend. On the background on front of the card, I have used Yes paste with glimmer mist. I will not reveal everything about how to make this card - since Gry Anita still holds classes in this (I do recommend the class). 


Inside the card, I have used glimmermist to create the splashes of colours


On the back of the card, I have used stencils, stamps and distress inks.

I have entered a Grid technique challenge at Ett trykk with this card (sent by e-mail)



Lit by the imagination ..... A mosaic shaker card




I have tried to make a mosaic card for the first time. I have used background paper from Graphics 45 and silver and gold paper from Søstrene Grene. Some of the silver paper has been embossed before I have cut it into stripes.



The light bulb is handmade as a shaker card, with silver pearls inside. The "fuse" is also handmade from a plastic pipe and pearls.

A shabby steampunk - mixed media card

I have made a card - in a mixture of styles. Mixed media and vintage and a hint of steampunk.


The background papers are two different papers from paper cellar - Victorian classic pack.  I have used a Zip from "Stoff og Stil" and sewn the papers together with the zip between. I have also used Gesso and alcohol ink on the bacground paper to make a colour and texture effect.


The bacground under the zip has been made using by putting paper gears onto silver paper and adding Gesso over. The gears have then been removed. I have made the bacground drop back slightly.


I have added gears and flowers. The gears and flowers has been cut using Tim Holtz dies, and has been cut in metal from used cans and from plastic foil. The gears and flowers have then been coloured using alcohol ink before they have been assembled.

This time, Kort O Mania's challenge is vintage. I have made three vintage tags. I have used the same basic background paper for all three "Pion-til mor-blått Porslin".

I have used old lace as background. The pink flower is this weeks freebie cut file at Silhouette. I have also used the stamp "Hjerteklem" from Kort og Godt on this tag. Metall heart from Korthobby. 


On this tag, I have used a paper from Panduro - "Winter Wonderland - Winter Swirl" and old lace. The Sewing bust is from Sherry K design.

A fairy in a bell jar - with tutorial

As a part of the design team at Hobbykunst, I got a Glass Ornament from Meslissa Francis and was asked to make something out of it.


I made a small "fairy in a bottle". The grass, base and the mushroom is decorated with old book pages. The little fairy boy is cut out from an old book. The fairy wings and butterflies are from Kort og Godt. The cut flower and small fairy in the grass are from an old Graphic 45 paper, Once Upon a Spring Time. 



Around the edge of the glass, I have glued a lace. The glass has a simple circular cardboard as base. This kind of base is not ideal to make 3D crafts om - so I made my own base. I have added the tutorial and templates for my base.

Tutorial:



1) Cut out the pieces. I have used 200g card stock for this base.
2) Use the small circle (top) and the 19 cm long rectangle. 
3) Glue on the flips on one side of the rectangle.
4) Glue the side to the top circle, you now have the start of a cylinder.
5) Use the ring, that the glass will sit on, and the 24 cm rectangle. 
6) Glue the side to the the ring.
7) Side glued to the ring
8) You have to sets for the base. Add some glue to the inside of the ring (not on the side, but on the inside of the ring itself)
9) Put the ring around the cylinder, and adjust the level of the ring - so the cylinder and the ring both touch the table. The base is starting to take form.
10) Turn the the base around.
11) Glue (the bottom) circle to the base. Make sure the flips from the inner circle are glued on the inside of the circle under the base, and the flips on the outside are glued on the outside of the circle under the base.
12) Glue the (decorative boarder under the base) to the bottom of the base.




Tutorial for the mushroom: 



13) Start with your base that you made above.
14) Take a piece of card (I have used 200g)
15) Role the card and glue together.
16) Make a hole in the base to fit the rolled card. I have decentered the hole, because I wanted the mushroom set to one side.
17) Put some glue in the hole and glue the rolled up paper.
18) Use a Styrofoam Egg (6cm).
19) Cut the top of the Styrofoam egg. You only need the top part of the egg for the mushroom
20) Make a hole inside the top of the styrofoam egg to fit the top of the rolled up paper. Add some glue to the hole.
21) Put the styrofoam piece on to the rolled card - and you have got a mushroom.

An Easter egg - with tutorial


The spring is on its way, and I was asked to make an Easter egg with a rabbit on it. So I decided to make an Easter egg inspired by the spring.


This is a large paper egg, painted with gesso. On the top of the egg, I have created the illusion of the egg paper egg being folded away. This has been made in paper. I have made a template for this.

Template 

Scale to a size that will fit your egg, an cut out following the pattern, one part in the same colour as your egg, and the other in green grass colour (or whatever colour you would prefer). The lines in the egg are also supposed to be cut. Glue the green egg under the egg with cut lines, only gluing at the edges of the egg. Glue the egg shape on to your egg and let dry. Fold the triangles out and back over the egg and glue tips of the triangles to the side of the egg.


Before I started decorating, I sprayed the egg with brown dylusions spray. The egg has then been sprayed with fixative. However I was not satisfied with the result, as I still thought the water based dylusion spray could easily run - so I added some spray lacquer. Some of the flowers are from Prima and some are from Panduro. The leaves and the flowers have had a stroke of gesso. 



Template

Scale the template to a size that you like. First, I cut out a piece out of the Honeycomb paper that was large enough. The paper is quite thick, and it is actually several layers of thin paper. I cut out the front and the back of the rabbit, and then I glued the two parts together and did some small adjustments to make it look alright. I added half pearls as eyes and snout, and some pink colour in the ears and cheeks. I also added the tail.
