Tea and Napkin box

Hello friends and followers,

Hope you are enjoying the weekend. Summer is finally here in Norway!  We are all walking around smiling, so happy to feel the sun on our faces! I do spend a lot of time crafting these days, but nothing I can show you just yet, so I thought I would post a tea and napkin box I made for Ett Trykk Magazine (02/13) a while back.

I originally found the tutorial on Marianne's blog: HERE 

I used Pion Design papers from the For Mother collection. I used a scalloped square die frby Quik Kutz/Lifestyle Craftsand a Spellbinder die, the roses are Wild Orchid Craft, and chrysanthemums and lace are by Kort og Godt, pearl and heart pins by Maya road, Melissa Frances pearls, and the Say it in Pearls swirl is by Prima. The teapot charm is from my stash.
I distressed all the edges of the papers with walnut stain, Distress Ink.

  I colored this very cute Joyful Tilda (A Christmas Story Collection 2012) with my Copic Markers. Colors used:  Skin: E13-11-00-0000, Hair: E44-43-42-41-40, N5-7, Clothes: BV25-23-20, W-5-3-1-00, Shadows: W5-3-1-00, 

Here it is again, I hope you like it!

I'm going to go get ready for my distress ink class tomorrow. I'm looking forward to teaching  a bunch of lovely ladies, it's always lot's of fun! And of course I'm a little nervous...lol. Hope they like my class!

Wishing you all wonderful Sunday evening. 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, and for leaving me all those lovely comments. They all make me so happy! Thank you!

Midweek Magnolias & Ett Trykk DT: Happy Birhtday!

Good morning friends and followers, 

I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday! The Midweek Magnolias are having a Happy birthday challenge this week. 

All you have to do to join in is to make a creation using a Magnolia Stamp or product and stick to the theme, and you are good to go. Remember we have a 5 challenges limit if you want a chance to win the  surprise prize from Magnolia in Sweden. 

Stop by the Midweek Magnolias to see the gorgeous creations of the rest of the DT! 

Jeg har også laget dette kortet som inspirasjon til Ett Trykk bloggen. Det er en påminner om leserutfordringen til Augustnummeret. Temaet er bursdag. Hvis du har lyst til å se kortet ditt på trykk i bladet kan du sende inn ditt bidrag til bladet. Det kan være kort, invitasjoner, bordkort eller annet som har bursdag som tema. Detaljene finner du HER.

Her er inspirasjonsbidraget mitt: 

 I used papers from Maja Design Vintage Summer Basic. I used a spellbinder die around the image and a Martha Stewart Punch on some of the edges. The cheese cloth, doily and pearls are from my stash. The sheet music are pages from an old book from a lokal flea market. I used frantage around the image and I put some crackle paint on some of the edges and flowers. I covered the music note and love hanger and the metal corner (all from the Live & Love craft store) with frantage too. 

The sentiment stamp is from Norsk Stempelblad AS, and means "Happy Birthday" in Norwegian.

The image is 'Princess Tilda with ballet shoes' from Magnolia's Once upon a Time collection. I colored her with my copic markers. Copics used: Skin: E 13-11-00-000, R32-30, Dress and ballet shoes: V99-95-93-91 and W7, Hair: E 29-27-25-23-21 and W7. I used YR24-23-21 and Y19 on her crown and I covered it with stickles glitter glue.

Copic Marker Norge #38

Good morning friends and followers!

Spring is finally here, and the month of May brings lots of extra days off work here in Norway. It also means spending a lot of time with family and friends, and less time for crafting, that's why it has been a bit quiet around here the last few days.

Det er tid for en ny utfordring hos Copic Marker Norge! Denne gangen er det ALT ER LOV som er oppgaven, så ta en tur innom og bli med på utfordringen! 

DT har utfordret oss selv til å fargelegge samme motiv i ulike farger- her er det masse inspirasjon å hente. 

Today I'm sharing my second DT card for Copic Marker Norge. Our challenge this time is easy:

Anything goes!

The DT girls had lots of fun coloring the same image with different colors, stop by the CMN blog to have a look! 

My color was brown, and of course I had to use my favorite markers these days: The E40's:

I used Maja Design papers from the vintage spring basic collection. The lovely lace is from the Live & Love craft store. The flowers are WOC and Kort og Godt. I also tried the famous frantage, I've seen it "all over" blogland for so long, I had to give it a go. So I ordered some from the LLC and here is my first...lol. The sentiment stamps are by Norsk Stempelblad AS.

I distressed the edges with distress ink, walnut stain, and used one of the cute musical notes paper clips by Prima. 

I masked two Magnolia stamps: Pippi Longstocking and Edwin's Town. 

Copic Markers used:

Hair, dress, stockings, shoes, house roofs and bricks: E 44-43-42-41-40, W7-5

Skin: E13-11-00-000-0000, R32-30,

DT Ett Trykk: After Eight Dispenser

Good morning friends and followers, 

I wanted to show you a gift I made for the April edition of Ett Trykk Magazine. I found a wonderful tutorial on the talented Cibele Glazer's blog and she kindly gave me permission to use it in the magazine. The tutorial is for a tea-box but i wanted to make one to fill with chocholate to use as a hostess gift. I used the same measurements, and it worked out fine with After Eight Chocholates. The top goes off to make it easy to fill it up with whatever you like. Thanks for the tutorial, Cibele Glazer!

The beautiful papers are by Maja Design from the "Skal vi ta en fika"/

"shall we have coffee" collection. 

I used a Quick Kutz/Lifestyle Crafts dies for the bottom and top, 

and I added thick cardstock in between the two layers to strengthen it. 

I used MagnoliaDoohickey dies- Tilda Lace and Doily Flowers, a round Lifestyle Craft die, a Memorybox heart swirl die, WOC flowers and Magnolia pearls. The sentiment and the circle frame

stamps are by Norsk Stempelblad AS

 I colored Tilda with wrapped heart with Copic Markers. Colors used: Skin: E13-11-00-000, Hair, shoes, heart: E47-44-42-41, Dress, socks, bow: V09, V17 and Blender, Ground: E33-31-20, Grass: YG95-91
