A beautiful text from the collection "Til Konfirmanten"

Patterned Paper: Pion Design - Sagan om våren - Viol.

It's so good to have some days off. :)

More Vintage Angel

I have an another box to show you today... I can't help it, but I love making them. :) And I love this adorable little angel. ♥

I've colored the adorable angel with Distress Ink and a Waterbrush. I've also added chalk with shimmer. I love this chalk. ;)

 

I've used this beautiful paper from FancyPants. I think it's gorgeous! And of course - flowers, laces, ribbons, pearls and charms... I seem to have been entirely dependent on using that on all my creations... *lol* Not much variety, but I love this combination... ;)

   

Inside the box, I've used a beautiful text from the collection "Just a Note".

 
Thank you so much for stopping by!
♥ Have a great week everyone! ♥

Vintage Angel...

Happy New Year everyone! I wish you all the best for the new year!

I made this box before Christmas, and hopefully it has arrived to Nora by now. :)
 

Isn't this Angel adorable? I just love her. I've colored the image with distress ink and a waterbrush. As you can see, I'm not very inventive. I've decorated the box as I usually do - that means with laces, ribbon, pearls, flowers and charms.... *lol*
   

I love this beautiful paper from Paper Company. Inside the box I've used a text from the same collection "Vintage Christmas". And of course, I've filled the box with a little something for Nora.... :)

Thanks for stopping by. Have a lovely evening! Take care! ♥

Hugs, Kirsten

 

Vintage Christmas

 
Last week I had a class at Unik Hobby, and we made a Christmas card with the new stamps from Stempelglede. They are gorgeous, and I just love them! We made this "pocket-card",  that holds a CD disc.

 

I've used a waterbrush to add a tiny bit of color on the image, and I've also applied ink with a sponge around the edges. Finally I applied some Glimmer Mist on the image.

 

Inside the card I've made a pocket, decorated with flowers, lace and the beautiful text from the "Vintage Christmas" collection.

Thank you so much for visiting. I hope you enjoy the Advent season.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Hugs, Kirsten ♥

Vintage Garden

Her er mitt første kort med noen av de nye stemplene fra Stempelglede. Stemplene er bare så fantastisk nydelige!!

This is my first card with this new gorgeous stamps from Stempelglede.

 
Jeg har laget et staffelikort, hvor jeg har brukt mønsterark fra Maja Design. Rundt kantene har jeg brukt stempelet "Right Scroll". Jeg har sydd rundt alle kanter med symaskin.
Hovedmotivet er stemplet med Archival Ink (Jet Black) på Letraset Heavyweight papir, og fargelagt med distress ink refiller. Jeg har også brukt litt kritt.

I've made an Easel Card, and I've used patterned paper from Maja Design. Around the edges I've used the stamp "Right Scroll". I've stamped the image on Letraset Heavyweight paper, and colored it with Distress Ink Reinkers. I've also used chalk.


Kortet er pyntet med diverse blomster, blonder, bånd og perler. Jeg har stemplet teksten "En forsinket bursdagshilsen" på krympeplast og festet til sløyfen. Tekstene jeg har brukt er fra samlingen "En liten hilsen".

I've decorated the card with flowers, laces, ribbon and pearls. On my card I've used Norwegian texts, but Gunhild has made the same texts in English on this beautiful collection "Just a Note". 

 

Jeg ønsker deg ei strålende uke!

Have a wonderful week!

Hugs, Kirsten ♥

Heart Box

I’ve made another box – a heartbox this time. :) If you want to make one yourself, you can follow my tutorial. (I'm sorry I haven't translated it to English, but I hope you understand when using the Google Translater). There is a difference anyhow.. I have made the lid in the same way as the bottom this time, just a little bigger…

En ny eske fra meg - denne gangen en hjerteeske. Hvis du har lyst til å lage en hjerteeske, kan du prøve deg på denne tutorialen min.
Jeg har imidlertid laget den litt annerledes. Har laget lokket på esken på samme måte som bunnen av esken - bare litt større... ;)

Isn’t this paper from MME just adorable?? It feels like velvet, and I looooove it! 
I’ve used a textstamp from this collection, and decorated the lid with this beautiful lace from Papirloftet, flowers, pearls, charms and ribbon.

Dette papiret fra MME er bare nyyyydelig! Uten tvil en favoritt! ♥ Jeg har brukt et tekststempel fra denne herlige stempelsamlingen.

Inside the box I’ve used another textstamp from Stempelglede. I love this text. It says “Magic is believing in yourself. If you can do that, you can make anything happen” (J.W von Goethe).

Recipe:
Cardstock: Hearts from Panduro.
Papers: MME - Pink Damask Paper, Bazzill.
Stamps: Text stamps from Stempelglede.
Embellishments: Lace, ribbon, lace, pearls, charms, flowers.

I'll take this opportunity to thank you all for all the lovely comments you have given me lately. It means a lot to me. ♥ I wish I had time to thank each and everyone of you, but unfortunately time is too short.

Jeg vil benytte anledningen til å takke for alle de koselige kommentarene jeg har fått av dere. ♥ Skulle selvfølgelig ønske at jeg hadde tid til å takke hver enkelt av dere, men døgnet har dessverre altfor få timer... :( 

Ha ei riktig fin uke alle sammen. Nå går det heldigvis mot vår!!! :)

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Hugs, Kirsten

Valentine Gift

On Sunday it's both Valentines Day and Mother's Day. A perfect opportunity to create something for someone you love. I have made a Heart Purse for a good friend. The purse is filled with chocolate (a girls best friend *lol*)

I've made at Tutorial on my blog, if you would like to try to make one! :)
 

I've used this beautiful stamp from the collection "Grunge Flourish Hearts" in front of the Purse. I love these hearts.

 

I've used a punch by Martha Stewart to make the handle.
I've decorated the handle with silver thread, ribbon, flowers and charms.

On the backside I've used a beautiful stamp from the collection "Min Venn" (My Friend). I've used a patterned paper by Maja Design.

 
I'm gonna fill this up with lots of chocolate for my friend! :)
As you can see, I've put a magnet under the lid.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend, and hope you'll have a lovely Valentines Day and Mother's Day on Sunday! Take care, everyone!

Hugs, Kirsten

More Grounge Flourish Hearts....

I made this box for a good friend's birthday, a while ago. I can't get enough of these Grunge Flourish Hearts from Stempelglede. I just love them!! I also love this beautiful frame from Spellbinders.

Jeg er fremdeles i eskemodus jeg, og her kommer en til... Jeg lagde den riktignok for en stund siden - til en god venn som hadde bursdag.

Som dere ser koser jeg meg med Stempelglede-hjertene! De er bare nyyydelige!! Jeg har også forelsket meg helt i denne herlige Spellbinders-rammen. Jeg ville derfor ikke dekorere esken med masse annen pynt. Av og til er jo det enkle ofte det beste.... ;)
Syns det var moro å lage en eske med denne herlige rammen!

 

In the bottom of the drawer, I've stamped a beautiful text from this collection.

I bunnen av skuffen har jeg stemplet en nydelig tekst fra denne stempelsamlingen. 

I've coloured the heart with Perfect Pearls and decorated it with beautiful Swarovski crystals.

Hjertet er fargelagt med Perfect Pearls og dekorert med nydelige Swarovski krystaller.

 

Materials:
Stamps: Grunge Flourish Hearts, Min venn, Gratulerer med dagen.
Papers: Bazill, Melissa Frances - Blitzen.
Ink: Archival Ink - Coffee.
Embellish: Swarovski crystals, flowers, TimHoltz Hitch Fasteners, ribbons and charms.
Tools: Cuttlebug, Spellbinders - Shapes Frame Scalloped Edge.

 

Thank you so much for visiting. I hope you'll have a beautiful day! :)
Hugs, Kirsten
  

Tusen takk for at du titter innom. Ha en strålende dag! :)

A little box (again... )

I have to admit - I just love making small boxes!! I made this one is for my dear niece's birthday. She loves this blue colour, so the box just had to be blue! :)

Jeg må bare innrømme det - jeg er utrolig glad i lage esker av ymse slag... Denne har jeg laget til tanteungen min som hadde bursdag for litt siden. Hun er veldig glad i denne blåfargen, så esken måtte selvfølgelig bli blå! :)

I've used a beautiful paper from Prima, called "My Love".  I've decorated the box with flowers, pearls and ribbon, and a beautiful butterfly from Karen Marie Klip.

I likhet med det forrige kortet mitt, har jeg også her brukt et nydelig mønsterark fra Prima. Jeg tror det heter "My Love". I tillegg har jeg pyntet med blomster, perlerog bånd. Sommerfuglen er fra  Karen Marie Klip, og den har jeg påført litt farge og glitter.  

I've made 4 small drawers, using my ScorPal. In front of each drawer I've mounted TimHoltz Hitch Fasteners. I've put money inside the drawers.

Jeg har laget 4 små skuffer (nesten på størrelse med en fyrstikkeske), og de har jeg laget med Scor-Pal'en min. Så genialt! På skuffene har jeg brukt disseherlige knottene fra Tim Holtz. Inni eskene har jeg lagt penger og litt snadder til bursdagsbarnet. 
       
          

I wanted to make a little "card" under the top of the box. I got this idea from my good friend Lena Katrine.
I've used the little stamp Grunge Flourish around the edges.

Under lokket på esken har jeg laget et lite "kort".  Denne idéen har jeg plukket opp hos min gode venn Lena Katrine. Rundt kortet har jeg brukt det lille stempelet Grunge Flourish.
 

I've used a beautiful heart from the Grunge Flourish Hearts collection. I've coloured the heart with StazOn - Teal Blue, and decorated with pearls.

Jeg har brukt dette nydelige stempelet fra samlingen Grunge Flourish Hearts. Hjertet er stemplet 2 ganger for å gi en 3D-effekt. Jeg har embosset med klart pulver og fargelagt med StazOn - Teal Blue. Til slutt har jeg dekorert med halvperler. .

Thank you so much for looking! Have a nice evening!

Hugs, Kirsten

Tusen takk for at du titter innom. Ha en riktig fin kveld.

Klem fra Kirsten
