Adventure is out there - a Prima globe

Before Christmas, I created a lot of Christmas ornaments. I have been thinking about creating a globe with one of the ornaments for a long time, but had to figure out how to create the stand and fix the globe to the stand. This globe is shared for the craft shop, Hobbykunst. 

I often get inspiration from several places. Here, I got the inspiration from the new Prima collection "Wild and Free". The fantastic sweet pink and gold, quotes and patterned paper inspire. 

The support for the globe, has been built from an old candlestick and a wooden piece with the shape of a very thin half moon. I made a small hole in the top and bottom half of the ornament and fixed Tim Holtz Hitch Fasteners to the two halves. This created something fix the globe to the support. The support was covered with a Prima paper from the Rossibelle Collection - Notes and Scribbles. 

 

Inside the ornament, I have built a few suitcases with a sheet of paper from the Wild and Free collection - Cosmic Love and Lights, from Prima.

The butterflies is from one of Prima's old collections, Forever Green Collection - Spread Your Wings.

On the top of the globe stand, I have added a drawer knob. The knob has been painted brown, and then I have added some cobber paint effects to it. 

The little dog, is a toy dog, spray painted white.

  

The little skateboard is also a little toy model, spray painted white.

The text "Adventure is out there", has been cut out of double sided sticky paper with a Silhouette, and glued to the globe. Then I added foil to the sticky letters.

In the bottom of the globe, I have added lots of Prima flowers.

The base for the globe stand is a candlestick. This was painted brown, and cobber effects was added.

Happy days layout

Today, I am showing a layout using the speciality paper from the Hanami collection. 

I don't often use yellow on my artwork. This time, I wanted to add a little bit of sunshine. I have also used the Cherry Blossom Template on the background (IT001). 

I have also used the new Texture netting die in between the layers.

The layout has been built up in layers, with 3D foam in between the layers.

A Birthday card

Here is another card created for LDRS creative, using one of their new stamps. This sweet new birthday stamps from LDRS Creative, "Have a micest day" is from the Candi Bean collection. The image has been coloured with distress ink on water colour paper. The patterned papers are from Kaisercraft's Sea Breeze collection.

I have also used the Fancy Rectangles & Layers Die Set to cut the image and create the tags. I have used the Picnic Quilt Embossing Folders to create the embossed pattern on the background of the card.

The embossing folders has also been used to create pattern as the background on inside of the card. The dies has been used to create space for a little message inside the card.

We have a new challenge over in Kaisercraft's blog. This is a card challenge based on a colour palette (shown below in this blogpost).

This card has been created with the Island Escape collection. The front of the card has been decorated with a motive from the collection.

I have added a small pop-up boat inside the card. The boat has been built from paper from the collection, and the sails has been built from white cardstock.

A vintage frame

Hobbykunst has got some fantastic sweet MDF frames in different sizes. Here, I have used the  14,5cm x 14,5cm frame.

The frame has been simply decorated. First, it has been painted with a mixture of white and brown acrylic paint. When the paint has dries, it has been painted with white acrylic paint. When the white paint had dried, it has been lightly sanded, to create a more distresses look. 

The picture inside the frame, has been simply decorated with paper from Kaisercraft. I have also used some old collectables from Kaisercraft as text around the photo. The flowers are Hobbykunst's Mathia flowers,

The frame has it's own support at the back. You have also got the possibility to hang the frame on the wall if you like.

Vintage signs

Today I am showing a hand made vintage sign for the online magazine, The papercrafting. Interior decor/ home deco is one of the trends that has been in the crafting community for a long time. Vintage signs has been popular for a long time, but now we often see them with a bit of humor. When I looked for a quote to have on my sign, I found the simple sign quote "If your are looking for s sign, this is it". I decided to go for that for my first sign.

The sign is 15cm x 14cm. The sign has been created by gluing together some wooden pieces, sanding it down and painting it black.

Then I created the text as a stencil. I used Silhouette studio to design the stencil, and cut it out with a Silhouette.

At the edges, I have used paperstrips from Kaisercraft's Glisten collection. The paper has been added with gel medium. When the gel medium had dried, I sanded the edges to wear it down a bit.

All you need to do is fly

Kaisercraft's new Ubud dreams collection, is a fantastic sweet collection. The colours are fantastic. For this layered mixed media layout, I have used lots of diecuts. 

I have used Kaisermist on the background paper, before I layered the layout. There is also cheesecloth between the layers and lots of wooden flourishes.
