DT Stamptacular Sunday Challenge "It's Fall Y'all"

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.

DT Stamptacular Sunday Challenge "Character Counts!"

Welcome back to a brand new challenge at SSC! Hope you all had fun with our challenge last week, I sure did! This weeks challenge is called "Character Counts!", and we wish to see some well known cartoon characters on your cards/projects. My choice fell on Eore from Winnie The Pooh. I've loved this little fella for as long as I can remember, I think it's his adorable way of being melancholic that just hits home with me. I'm a bit of melancholic myself.. I found this guy at Disneys site, printed him out and colored him in with my distress inks. If you wanna take a look at the different characters to choose from at their site go HERE

This weeks sponsor is
Your Next Stamp and the prize is this stampset called "Just Swimming By"




Velkommen tilbake til en ny utfordring hos SSC! Håper dere hadde det gøy med utfordringen vår forrige uke, det hadde i allefall jeg! Utfordringen denne uken er kalt "Character Counts!" og vi ønsker å se noen velkjente figurer på kort og prosjekter denne uken. Mitt valg falt fort på Tussi, jeg har vel hatt en forkjærlighet for han så lenge jeg kan huske. Han har en sånn herlig melankoli over seg som jeg ikke kan motstå. Er nok en liten melankoliker i meg og... Jeg fant denne karen på Disney sin side, printa han ut og fargela han med distress inkene mine. Hvis du vil ta en titt og se om du finner noe du kan bruke besøk DENNE siden.




A little closeup on Eore, the rubon says "Miss You"



These beautiful flowers are from Prima, and the blue ones come from a new line called Painterly Petals Hydrangeas. I've put the roses in the middle and distressed them a little with Cats eye chalk.

Disse nydelige blomstene er fra Prima, og de blå kommer fra en nye serie kalt Painterly Petals Hydrangeas. Jeg har puttet roser i midten og distressa litt med brun Cats eye chalk.





The inside:
Innsiden:






The sentiment is from Ladybugandfriends and it says; "Even if it rains and the day is grey, the sun shines when I think of you"









The back: I've used the same layout on the back and added my personal stamp. You might have notice a little difference though, I forgot to draw the stitching on the two little buttonstraps.. but they're on it now!

Baksiden: Jeg har brukt samme oppsett på baksiden og satt på mitt personlige stempel. Du har kanskje lagt merke til en liten forskjell da.. jeg glemte nemlig å tegne på de hvite strekene på de to blå bitene på knapper på.. men de er på nå da!

OCTOBER BONUS FUN DAY

YES! You found the right post!

This is MY favourite stamp, the cute Tilda With Rose from Magnolia. The reason why I love this stamp is the fact that I just can't resist her, she's so darn cute! She's so versatile and you can use her in whatever occasion your card/project might be. She's a dream to color! Last but not least, I love her because she reprecents a cause. She was made for the Pink Collection, a range of stamps from Magnolia that was made to support the fight against breast cancer. Here is the last card I used this stamp on, it was a birthdaycard for my best friend.

Now if you're ready for your next stop on the way, please hop on to Simonne!



Here's my DT submission for this weeks challenge, and I've used a foldingtechnique created by Turid Mari. I've wanted to try it out for ages, but never got to it until now. It's so much fun and I'm definately gonna use it again. This technique was used in a challenge at StampARTic earlier this year and you can find the tutorial HERE. Get ready for A LOT of pictures! LOL!

Her er mitt DT bidrag for denne ukens utfordring kalt "Pull Out!". Jeg har brukt en bretteteknikk laget av Turid Mari. Denne ble gitt som en utfordring på hos StampARTic tidligere i år, og jeg hadde en plan om å prøve den ut en gang. Det er en artig bretteteknikk og kortet byr på noen overraskelser når du åpner det;) Tutorialen til denne bretteteknikken kan du finne HER.










Her har jeg åpnet den første delen (delen til venstre er baksiden av fronten). Jeg har laget en liten lomme hvor jeg har puttet inn en liten tag.

Here I have opened the first part (the part you see to the left is the back of the front with Tilda). I've made a little pocket where I've put a little tag you can pull out.




The text on the little tag says "Christmas hug"


Here is a little closeup on Tilda on the inside of the card. I've used a stamp from Anka Design which I think is perfect with this waiting Tilda. The sentiment is a bit difficult to translate, it's based on a frase we use in Norway when we finish a story or fairytale. But the main point is that the waiting for Christmas finally is over.

Her er et nærbilde av Tilda på innsiden av kortet. Har brukt et tekststempel fra Anka Design og jeg syns det passet perfekt med denne ventende Tilda.




Here you can see what's behind the waiting Tilda, it's fun cause it's like the card contains it's own little secret:) There's a panel where you can write your personal greeting and then theres the pocket containing two tags.

Her kan du se hva som kommer fram bak den ventende Tilda'en. Det er litt artig for det er akkurat som kortet har sin egen lille hemmelighet:)
Her er det plass til å skrive en liten personlig hilsen, og nedenfor har jeg laget en lomme som inneholder to tag'er.





The text on the pocket is from the brand new collection at Norsk Stempelblad and the sentiment says; "Merry Christmas (in big letters) Joy, Caring, Warmth, Light, Time, Laughter, Memories, Celebration"



The tags has been pimped with some left over tulle from our wedding. Just love the texture!

Har pimpa opp tagene med litt tyllrester fra bryllupet. Digger det!




Both tags also has sentiments from the new collection from Norsk Stempelblad. The sentiment on this one says; "A lot of Christmas hugs og good wishes for the new year"





This one says; " Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year"





The back with my personal stamp
Baksiden med mitt personlige stempel





A little closeup to show the adorable snowflake charm that I've used on both the back and front. I've tied some string around the tulle that ties the card together and used a jumpring to attatch the charm.

Her er et lite nærbilde av den herlige snøfnugg charmen som jeg har brukt både på fronten og baksiden av kortet. Jeg har knytta blå tråd rund tyllen som knytter kortet sammen og brukte en jumpring til å henge fast charmen.
