After Eight Christmas box

As a part of my September post for Kaisercraft, I decorated an after eight box. The measurements were taken from the After Eight box itself. I decided to create a separate box, which the After Eight box fits into. By doing this, the  box of Chocolate can be changes for a new one, when it has been eaten.

The box was made with the "Home for Christmas collection". I also created a small winter landscape on the top of the lid of the box.

The trees has been made by using on of Kaisercraft's new Christmas tree dies (CC Tree DD320), folding the trees along the "trunks" and gluing them together.

Kaisercraft's October Challenge, a mixed media layout

We are now entering October, and Kaisercraft is out with the Octobers challenge. 

I created a layout with a photo of my little Jack Russell and Kaisercraft's new Ma Cherie collection.

I have used stencils, stamps, washi tape, mists and perfect pearl to create effects on the background. In some places I have also doodled with a black pen.

I have also used glass half beads, and chrystals.

The chains are from old jewelry.

Silver Bells Advent Calendar

As a Design Team member, I got the Advent Block calendar (SB2316). I decided to use the Silver Bells collection, to decorate the advent calendar. Silver Bells collection is a great vintage collection, perfect with the soft colours.

The numbers are Kaisercrafts chipboard Alphabet 3 (CD109). I have colourd the numbers with KaiserMist, Glitter or cracle paint.

I have used gesso on the flowers, to create a snow effect.

The lamp is a diecut made with one of Kaisercraft's dies (Street Light DD513).

The gnome, is a photo of my frosty garden gnome.

A Christmas card with the Silver Bells Collection

This a card I created for the September blog post for Kaisercraft. I wanted to create a simple Christmas card, using the Tag Pack for the Silver Bells collection.

The motive is a Christmas tag. I have used one of Kaisercraft stencils and Gesso to create some snow effect on the background.

I have used simple swirls, created with a dies from Marianne design (Creatables - Anjas Vintage Swirls) and leaf diecuts (my own design).

Cherished - a mixed media layout

Today, I have got a new blogpost over at Kaisercraft's blog. 

I have used the brand new Generation collection, and created a layout with a photo of my best friend and me.  The photo was taken this summer, and it is showing the view out of the Oslo fjord in the background. The Generations Paper Pad has a super set of papers in soft colours, perfect for layouts.

I have used a mix of flowers and KaiserMists. I have also used a lot of the collectables in between all the layers.

The vintage car, a video tutorial

A year ago. I made this vintage car. This was made by creating a Silhouette file after one of my old templates. 

Several people has asked for a tutorial, to build the car from the templates or from the cutouts made by the Silhouette.

Merry and bright, a candle in a box

Today, Kaisercraft Design Team is showing Home decor items with the Home for Christmas Collection.  I wanted to create something that can be used as a small Christmas gift. I decorated a candle, and made a gift box for it.

I have used the paper "Eggnog" to cover the box and for the "belt" for the candle,

Flowers are from Wild Orchid and Kaisercraft.

The text is a sticker, and texture has been added to the box. 

If you create something similar - remember to remove the paper around the candle before you light the candle.
