Sommerkort med Kenny K

SOL! Endelig skinner sola etter en våt og trist juni :) Jeg har tenkt på et kort hele uka, etter jeg så skissen hos Sketchy colors forrige søndag. Men, som så ofte før, hverdagene kom og gikk uten at jeg fikk gjort annet enn å fargelegge et Kenny K-motiv. På mandag så jeg at Kreativ Scrapping (som jeg har fått super service fra, forresten!) har en utfordring om ferie + bingo, og dermed falt kortet på plass i løpet av noen timer i går etter jobb :)

SUN! Finally sunshine after a wet and grey June :) I've had a card in mind all week, after seeing the sketch over at Sketchy colors last sunday. But, the days came and went and I had no time to make the card, except colouring in a Kenny K-motive. On monday, I saw that Kreati Scrapping (who's given me excellent service, by the way!) has a challenge going called vacation + bingo, and with that in mind, my card just fell in place during a few hours yesterday after work :)

Motiv fra Kenny K (fargelagt med ProMarkers), blonde fra Kort og Godt, bling fra Live and Love Crafts. Diverse blomster, perler, seambinding bånd farget med glimmermist, hjemmelagde pins, osteklut og metallhjørnet er embosset med Fran-tage. Tekst laget med Dymo. Alle panelene er sydd (jeg må få tak i tykkere sytråd!!)

Motive from Kenny K (Coloured with ProMarkers), lace from Kort og Godt, bling from Live and Love Crafts. Flowers, pearls, seambinding coloured with glimmermist, homemade pins, cheesecloth and the metalcorner is embossed with Fran-tage. Text made with Dymo. All panels are sown (I need to get thicker tread!!)

Kenny K passer så godt til kort ment for tenåringer. Så greit å ha noen kort ferdige når eldste-jenta plutselig kommer og sier "du mamma... er bedt på bursdag i kveld jeg, og skulle hatt et kort. Kunne du ha laget et?" Som om jeg visper sammen et kort på en times tid, liksom!

Kenny K is perfect for teenage-cards. So handy to have a few cards finished when the oldest girl suddenly says "Eh, mom... I'm invited to a birthday tonight, og want a card. Could you make one?" As if I whip up a card in an hour!

Today we're back with a new challenge for you over at Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge blog, and this forthnight we sure have a fun challenge: Use a faux technique!

There are plenty to choose from, and if you go to the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge blog, you can see some wonderful examples on what faux techniques to try out. Or maybe you have an idea yourself you'd like to try?

Magnolia bookcard

It's my grandmothers 85th birthday, and here's the card I made for her. Since it's a bookcard, it also has the function of being a giftwrapper for earrings and necklace :)

The paper with the gothic writing is from an old book from 1883. It hurts a bit every time I tear one of the pages... :)

The letters and numbers are made out of 3 layers glued on top of eachother. The edges are distressed with walnut stain, and I've put on crackle accents on them. I really wanted a 3D-effect on them :)

My daughters birthday

Here's the card I made for my daughters birthday. She's got a thing for purple, so it had to be a purple card.

 Stamp from Tickled pink. Used a Magnolia border-die to frame the card. 

 Banner-die from Magnolia. I've used a TH-die to make the letters. Attached pattered paper on a chipboard  and cut out the letters. Charm from Kort and Godt.

 The roses were white, coloured them with homemde glimmermist (a mix of dusty concord and milled lavender and perfect pearls). The white flowers got a mix of just water and perfect perls to give them shine without changing their colour. Works sooo well, I love this homemade glimmermist-idea! :D

Added a bit of white paint on some of the flowers.

Image coloured with distress inks. The tag behind the image has a happy-birthday text from NSS on it.

Vintage birthday

Here's a card I made for a colleague who's mother-in-law had her 70th birthday a while back. Stamp from stempelglede, coloured with promarkers.

Stamp from Stempelglede (vintage garden). The butterflies are metalcharms painted with gesso and I've added some glitter to them.

The number 70 is a TH-die, cut out on chipboard and painted with cracklepaint. Distressed the edges with vintage photo. The old text is from an old book (from 1883! It hurts a bit to tear it apart...). I love the gothic writing on it... :)

Saturated canary - fall

It's been sooo quiet here lately! Life's been busy and I haven't had nearly enough time to create as I would like to. But I have been creating, although I haven't updated my blog for a while. I have a few cards ready to be published here, and unfortunately I've made a few that I forgot to photograph before I gave them away. Oh well.

Today I have an autumn-inspired card. It's for my mothers birthday, and I have used one of the new Saturated Canary rubber stamps that came in the mail from Hjerteboden a while back.

I've used the gorgeous fall-themed papers from Maya design. The roses and swirly flowers (from Kort og godt) were white, and I've coloured them with my self-made glimmermist (water, distress re-inkers and perfect pearls). I found the tip on how to make your own glimmermist somewhere in blogland a while ago, and I have to say - it works perfectly!! And with using the perfect pearls, I get just enough glimmer-effect on them too. Added some liquid pearls, swirl from Magnolia, leaves from WOC (coloured them woth homemade glimmermist and distressed the edges).

Image coloured with distress inks.


Challenges I'm entering my card in:
* Cupcake craft challenges - autumn
* Allsorts challenges - autumn leaves and trees

Magnolia - birthday

My second card today. I knew I wanted to join in on sketchy colors theme this week: pink, mint and white. And then the card practically made itself. With these colours it had to be the baby Tilda from Princes and Princesses, and Magnolia papers :)

 A tag hidden behind the image.  The branches are a MS punch.

 The inside. Textstamp from Stempelglede.

 And the back. The punching shows a bit better here.

Closeup to show the shaker-effect, using tiny, pink and mint beads. The mint-coloured roses are white roses coloured with distress stain - broken china and glimmermist - pearl. The butterflies are a magnolia-die, while the small butterflies inside is a MS punch. 

The sentiment is stamped on Vellum.

Bildmålarna

UNIK HOBBY har sin første skisseutfordring nå, og det var virkelig en spennende skisse! :)

Her er mitt bidrag til konkurransen:

 Både papirer og stempel er fra Bildmålarna, og det er første gangen jeg fargelegger denne lille jenta (nyttårsforsettet om å bruke noe nytt hver gang holder seg enda!).

Søtnosen er fargelagt med promarkere. Har brukt samme skisse på alle sidene, og laget plass til et skrivefelt.  Kakeservietten har fått noen sprut med glimmermist - marshmallow og vintage pink. Sommerfuglen og blomsten er stanset ut med dies fra Magnolia.

Begynte å bli redd for at jeg ikke skulle rekke å bli med... med 13-timers arbeidsdager i det siste og tre barn i hus har det ikke blitt mye klipping og liming på meg i det siste, men jeg rakk det!

Birthday card for my sister-in-law

My husbands big sister, and my sister-in-law, had her 50th birthday this week. Yesterday she celebrated it surrounded by her entire family. I got the assignment of making her a card, and here's the result :)

I need to start taking my pictures in daylight... the colours never turn out the way they really are. This one really is soft pink and beige :p

And isn't my new corner die from Whimsy perfect? Looks a bit like the corner die from Quickutz (the one they stopped making before I knew I wanted it...).

And I've made my first pin! Bought a couple jars of pearls and some pins at Panduro, and made it myself. I'll be back to buy more pearls, I just needed to see if I liked it. And I did ;)

Happy 18 - Kenny K

Another Kenny K card from me. This is for a girl who turns 18 next week, and her mom asked if I could make a card. I've tried to make the card according to her wishes - quite simple, peach, green, brown, springy colours yet somewhat subtle as the girl is pretty down-to-earth person (easy peasy!).

I made her an easelcard, and I hope she'll like it.

Inside there's a panel with a text from Kort & Godt, and space to write a personal greeting

Kenny K

Here's a card I made a couple of days ago, with another Kenny k image (I love them!). Coloured with distress inks.

 Papers from Pion, dies from spellbinder and Magnolia. Not easy to see, but I've dryembossed the pink panel with cute dots to make it more "alive". 

I sewed all the edges.

 Might be easier to see the embossed dots here

Flowers from WOC, doily, the lace is tied to a tag from Magnolia, which is hidden behind the picture.

Happy Birthday: Sugar Nellie

My niece is 5 years old tomorrow, and we're just home from her birthday celebration. Here's the card I made for her. She's a typical 5-year old, totally addicted to anything pink and princess-like. So, it had to be a pink card with a lot of glitter.

 Papers from Magnolia and Melissa Frances. The Sugar Nellie Manga Princess stamp is new, and I coloured it with distress inks. I also got to try my new butterfly-dies from Sheery Lynn. Lots og stickles (diamond) around the frame of the picture, on her dress and on the butterflies. I've also used a lot of liquid pearls (white opal).

Hard to see, but I've used glittery fabric bought at the Magnolia shop in Borås this summer. First time I use it! 

 The inside. Stamp from Stempelblad.

Stamp from NSS.
