A distressed, snowy and blingy easel card!

Good Tuesday to you all!

Here comes a new Christmas card from me, been in a Christmasy mood lately and with the brand new stamps and papers from Magnolia I'm just in heaven! The stamps are sooo adorable and those papers are so yummy! My sewingmachine has gone warm on this card lol, I just love that look with the distressing. I've actually managed to cover 4 challenges(!!!) with this card, that's pretty good I think! :) I've made an EASEL CARD which is this weeks challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge.
At Cupcake Craft Challenge they want to see SNOW in some form on your card and at Allsorts Challenge they want you to bring out the BLING. Last but not least, at Just Magnolia they want to see DISTRESSING on your project and here is what I came up with:

Here the card lies folded together. I've made a solution to keep it together (got pictures further down) so it easily can be mailed to the recipient.

Here's some pictures of the standing EASEL CARD from different angles

The sentiment I've used is from Ladybugandfriends and the sentiment says "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year". As you can see I've used one of the snowflakes to support the card when it stands.

I chose to decorate the back of the card too, but I made it very simple using a paper doily. I've put on a pair of snaps to close the card so it can lie flat.

A little closeup on the closing mechanism

This is the bottom of the card, or the back when it's closed together. Decorated with some snowflakes, brown strawthingy (never remember the name..) and my personal stamp

Papertake Weekly does Roses On Paper...

God Jul / Merry Christmas
Jeg fikk disse helt nye Magnolia stemplene fra Jolly Collection hjem i posten idag så jeg måtte bare ta fram blekket og leke litt!! Er de ikke bare helt herlige?! Jeg finner sjelden tid til å være med i andre utfordringer, men idag bestemte jeg meg rett og slett for å prioritere det og resultatet kommer her. Jeg brukte skissen på utfordringen hos Papertake Weekly Challenge og på Roses on Paper and Belles'n Whistles Combined Challenge hadde de temaet Jul så da slo jeg to fluer i ett smekk:)

I've used a cinnamon stick that I've pimped a little. It really smells Christmas to me:)

The tag has a sentiment from Norsk Stempelblad and it says; A warm Christmas greeting to you from us




Jeg har laget en stor tag i siden av kortet som kan dras ut og det er plass til en personlig hilsen der.

DT Stamptacular Sunday Challenge Blog "Friendship"

It's Sunday and time for a brand new challenge at Stamtacular Sunday Challenge blog. This time we want you to make a card for a special friend. I've made a card with one of the newest little angels from hÄnglar och stÄnglar called "Kram tjej" og "Hugging girl" if you like. I think she's just adorable and perfect for a card for a friend. I've used a text stamp from Norsk Stempelblad which says "Warm hugs". The beautiful papers are all from Maja Design.

Det er søndag og tid for en ny utfordring hos Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog.
Denne gangen ønsker vi at dere lager kort til en spesiell venn. Jeg har brukt "Kram tjej" fra hÄnglar och stÄnglar. Jeg syns hun er så herlig og helt perfekt til et vennekort. Jeg har og brukt tekststempel fra Norsk Stempelblad med teksten "Varme klemmer". De nydelige papirene jeg har brukt er alle fra Maja Design.

This week we are also lucky to have two sponsors for our challenge, both with great prizes!
Our first sponsors this week is our very own Liza, and the price is this snowflake embossing folder from Cuttlebug.

Our second sponsor this week is Doodle street by Cassandra
Prize: one digi-image of winner's choice


Now over to my card for the challenge..

I had a hard time getting good photos of my card this time. I've showered my card in Glimmer mist so it keeps reflecting in the photos. I added this photo so you can see the shimmer that covers the card. It's not so noticeable in real life.

Jeg sleit litt for å få gode bilder denne gangen. Hele kortet er sprayet med Glimmer mist og derfor reflekteres det i alle bildene. Jeg valgte å ta med dette bildet for å vis hvordan det shimrer, det er ikke like tydelig i virkeligheten

The inside/Innsiden:






Beautiful butterflies...
Nydelige sommerfugler...








The sentiment on the inside:
A hug is like a handshake from the heart






Baksiden/The back: On the back I've used the same layout as the front, the rubon says "Friendship"

CS: Bazzill
DP: Maja Design
Stamps: hÄnglar och stÄnglar Kram tjej, Norsk Stempelblad
Accessories: Scrappersfloss, charms and flowers from Hobbyhimmelen, qk-leaves, prima roses, Karen Marie Klip butterflies (Panduro), Glimmermist Tattered Rose, Fiskars punch, ribbon from Papirloftet, rubons from Norsk Stempelblad.

It's time for a brand new challenge at the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog called It's Fall Y'all! Our sponsor this week is Shaz from Funkyfairys Papercrafts and the fabulous prize you can win are these gorgous papers:

Here is my DT submission for this weeks challenge. I just love these earthly colors and the gorgous papers from Maja Design is a joy to work with:) I've masked together 3 stamps from Magnolias Fall Collection last year. I've painted with my Distress Inks as always, and put some Diamond Glaze on the orange flowers.


Her er mitt DT bidrag for denne ukes utfordring. Vi ønsker altså å se kort/prosjekter med høstlig tema. Jeg simpelthen elsker disse fargene, og det er en fryd å kunne leke med de lekre papirene fra Maja Design:) Har maskert sammen tre stempler fra forrige års høstkit fra Magnolia. Jeg har malt med distressene mine som alltid og har putte litt Diamond Glaze på de orange blomstene.
On the left side I've put in a little tag with some Autumn Wishes. The sentiment is also from Magnolia. I've used a Fiskars punch on the tag.

Jeg har puttet inn en tag på venstre side av kortet og på denne er det en liten høsthilsen. Teksten er også et stempel fra Magnolia. Jeg har brukt en Fiskars punch på enden.

A little closeup...

The inside:

This is the text on the inside of the card. This is written and printed out on my computer.

Dette er teksten på innsiden av kortet. Den er skrevet og printet ut fra pc. Teksten sier; Høsten er som en annen vår der hvert eneste blad er en blomst.

DT Stamptacular Sunday Challenge "SPOOKTACULAR"

It's time for a brand new challenge at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog - if you dare! It's gonna be a bit SPOOKY so brace yourself for what's to come! Booooo! This week we have two sponsors for our challenge.
First up is Digital Stamp Oasis
and the second sponsor this week is
Simon Says Stamps

Halloween isn't a big thing here in Norway, and therefor I didn't own stamps, pumpkins or anything close to spo0ky. Thankfully I could borrow this adorable Magnolia stamp so I could make something for this challenge. Thank you Kristin! I've made a giftbag out of a brown paperbag, ready to be filled with some trick or treat candy:) The fence behind Tilda is handdrawn ( I know it's a stamp but I didn't have it..)

Halloween er ikke akkurat en stor greie her i vårt hjemland, og strengt tatt ikke min greie heller.. Jeg eier derfor ikke noen stempler, gresskar eller noe i nærheten av skummelt. Heldigvis fikk jeg låne dette skjønne stempelet så jeg kunne få laget noe til denne utfordringen. Takk Kristin! Jeg har laget en gavepose av en brun papirpose, og den er klar til å bli fylt til randen med deilig godteri:) Gjerdet bak Tilda er tegnet for hånd (jeg vet det er et stempel, men jeg hadde det ikke for hånden..)


I just love this velvet ribbon! It's so gorgous!

Jeg bare elsker dette fløyelsbåndet! Det er så lekkert!

A little close up on the ripping, sewing and the cool bat paper in the background..

Et lite nærbilde på rivingen, syingen og det tøffe flaggermuspapiret i bakgrunnen..

I've made a little window who looks out on the moon and some bats flying. The window is made of a bit of plastic that I cut out of a cd-cover.

Jeg har lagd et lite vindu som ser ut på månen og noen flygende flaggermus. Vinduet er laget av plast som jeg har skjært ut av et cd-cover.

I've used some alphabet stamps from Papirdesign to write the words trick or treat.

Jeg har brukt alfabet stempler fra Papirdesign til å skrive ordene trick or treat

The back: I've used the same layout on the back and made a little window where I've put in my personal stamp. I've used Glimmermist Bronze on the whole bag and it's a cool shimmer in it!

Baksiden: Jeg har brukt samme oppsettet på baksiden, og jeg har laget et vindu hvor jeg har puttet inn mitt personlige stempel. Jeg har sprayet hele bag'en med Glimmer mist Bronse og det er en ganske stilig skinn i den.!

Here you can see the glimmer mist on the bats.
