A merry and bright wintery card in blue, white and silver with lots of glitter!

Never ending stoory lalalalalalalalalala!

Beklager så mye hvis jeg nå gav deg en marete sang på hjernen, men jeg kunne bare ikke dy meg! HEHE! Du skjønner jeg har laga et Never Ending Card og da hoppa bare denne sangen helt plutselig inn i hjernen min:) Jeg lover at det går over veldig snart.. Nå over til kortet jeg vil vise dere. Det har vært både artig og tidkrevende, jeg har kutta MYE papir og så er det alle detaljene som så skulle passe sammen. Jeg fant linken til tutorialen på Lilly of the Valley, og du kan ta en titt HER hvis du er interessert. Det er ikke veldig lett å vise fram dette kortet på en god måte med bilder (skulle helst vært video), men jeg håper du får en ide om åssen det er live.
***

Sorry if I gave you a naging song on the brain just now but I just couldn't help myself! LOL! You see, I've made a Never Ending Card and this song just popped in my head right away:) I promise it'll pass any time soon.. Now over to the card I wanna show you. It's been both fun and time consuming to make, a LOT of paper to cut and glue, and then all the details that had to come together, BUT I finished it earlier today and now I have the time to publish it. I found a great tutorial as a link from Lilly of the Valley and you can check it out HERE if you like :) It's not as easy to show the card in a proper way through pictures, but I hope you get the general idea.

***
Framsiden: Tekststempelet er fra KH Design og sier "Gledelig Jul"
***
The front: The sentiment is from KH Design and says "Merry Christmas"

Så åpner du kortet ved å brette ut sidene til venstre og høyre
Then you open the card by opening up the left and right side of the card:

Innsiden etter den første bretten. Er ikke helt fornøyd siden man strengt tatt kanskje ikke skulle sett noe av hverken den stemplede teksten eller Tilda.. Teksten sier: Himmelske gleder daler ned som vakre snøkrystaller og gir lys i vintermørket"
***
The inside after the first fold. I'm not totally pleased with it since you probably shouldn't be able to see either Tilda or the stamped sentiment on the nest fold.. The sentiment says; " Heavenly joys comes down like beautiful snowcrystals and gives light in the winter dark"

De neste to bildene viser neste brett hvor man løfter opp teksten og snømannen for å avdekke det som er bak.
***
The next two pictures show the next fold where you lift the sentiment and the snowman to reveal what's behind.

Her ligger en tenkende Tilda med den passende teksten "Tid til ettertanke" Jeg har pyntet med litt blonde og perler.
***
Here lies Tilda thinking and the sentiment besides her says " Time for contemplation". I've decorated with some lace and silvery pearls.

Her kommer den neste bretten og som du ser er den mellom Tilda og teksten og du bretter disse sidene bakover.
***
Here comes the next fold and as you can see it comes between Tilda and the sentiment when you fold the sides backwards.

Du har nå kommet til den nest siste bretten av kortet og her har jeg dekorert med noen julegaver fra Magnolia og teksten fra Anka Design sier "Snipp, snapp, snute, så er ventetiden ute!"
***
You've now reached the second last fold on the card and here I have decorated with some Christmas gifts from Magnolia and a sentiment from Anka Design that says:" Snipp, snapp, snute then the wait is over!" (I don't know how to translate the three first words, it's a norwegian term we use at the end of a fairytale).

Her kommer altså den siste bretten, og som du ser på bildet er du nå komme til begynnelsen av kortet igjen!!! Som navnet "Never Ending Card" sier, kan du altså brette og brette det rundt så lenge du gidder uten at det stopper:) Akkurat som tittelen sier gitt! ;)
***
Here comes the final fold, and as you can see on the picture below you're now at the beginning of the card again!!! Like the name "Never Ending Card" says, you can fold it and fold it for as long as you can be bothered without it stopping:) Just like the title says! ;)

This card covers 4 different challenges:

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge "Four seasons"

Cute Card Thursday: "Glitter me Silly!"
Colour Create: "Blue, Silver and White"


CS: Bazzill blue & white

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:)

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.

*Friday Sketchers # 31

Here is my entry to this weeks challenge at Friday Sketchers. The challenge this time was a fabulous sketch by the oh so talented Claudia Rosa. I love the fact that I now can concentrate fully on making my Christmas cards and just play like I want in my craftroom. I really did enjoy making our weddinginvitations, but after making 32 it's good to use some new colours and papers;) I wanted to go really red this time and I'm totally in love with these wonderful papers! And who can resist this cute little Hanglargirl??

The sentiment on the front says "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year"

For the inside I used the back of the paper and I just love these wonderful swirls:) Made a little pocket on the left and put some bags with instant hot chocolate. Yum!

The sentiment means "Time for joy"
