Triangle Pyramid Card

Hello my dear friends, followers and simple strangers!

Earlier this week I popped into one very inspiring challenge blog The Shabby Tea Room and saw their new challenge which I simply fell in love with, he he... Spring color inspiration challenge (week #56)! Those colors were exactly what I needed to be inspired... And here is my triangle pyramid card made for this challenge. 

Front view:

I used paper from BG, border punch from Martha Stewart, Strass-Stones from Nellie Snellen, flowers from Kort og Godt, Papirloftet and Nellie and ribbon from Søstrene Grene, he he...

When the 'hat' is removed a triangle card opens up. I used rub-on quotes from Kaiser craft. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a happy and sunny Spring day!

Butterfly tutorial

Hello everyone!

Today I will show you how to make a butterfly from Nellie Snellen corner dies MFD 027. 

Butterfly like the one on a card:

First fold a paper and cut out the shape like it is shown on a picture:

Cut out the shape using scissors. I cut both papers at the same time so the shape of the butterfly wings would be the same. Therefore I folded paper at the begining. You can otherwise use non-permanent glue to hold papers together. 

Glue the very corners together:

Glue on other details as well:

I used Nellie Snellen Strass-Stones to decorate a butterfly.

A card with butterfly... I used Nellie Snellen Dies MFD026 on a card as well.

Hope that was helpful!

Easter Decoration - DT OVA

Good morning everyone!

What a nice Saturday morning and here is my new project - Easter Decoration 

for Our Vintage Affair's new April Altered Item challenge.

April sponsor of a month is INKIDO with their gorgeous new collection! Pop into their blog for inspiration and you will find many fantastic creations there. 

For this project I used pearls, ribbon, flowers, butterfly stamp, stamp 'sommar collage' and paper 'Romantisk stripe' - all from INKIDO! Those things are so fantastic!

Just have a look at those flowers - they are gorgeous!

I made en easter egg from pappier mache, painted it with Gesso, and than stamped it with that beautiful stamp with tekst and roses, called 'sommar collage'. There is a text saying 'Påske' ('Easter'). And I fell in love with those cute small butterflies (stamp from Inkido). 

Do not forget to participate into Our Vintage Affair April challenges and you can win a prize from INKIDO's newest collection. 

Have a wonderful and creative weekend!

Card "White"

Hi everyone! 

Here is my new creation - a card "White (on white with embossing)".  It is probably my first time to make such a strict card, he he... And it was a tought challenge for me to make it all white, and even tougher to make a good photo of a white card, he he... 

I made this card in combination of two challenges. Trykkpressa March at Norwegian magazine Et Trykk - "Dry Embossing". And Kort og Godt March challenge - "white on white".

Altered Item "Spoon in a box"

Hello my dear friends and friendly strangers!

Here is my new project "Spoon in a box". It was done for a new

  Our Vintage Affair March Altered Item challenge "Kitchen". This time a challenge is all about the kitchen: it might be a reciepe book, an altered kitchen item, or simply a box with a picture with cooking lady, he he... 

I thought I knew what I am going to do, but after a while my ideas got lost and left a big chaos in my head: too many ieas - too little time. As always, he he... Anyway, last week I made an altered fridge magnet with post it notes, but decided it is too boring, he he... So I made another creation - altered spoon in a box, which I am actualy very happy with, he he...

I used 3ndypapir papers from "Sweetheart" collection - they are so gorgeous! 

A text says: "the secret ingredient in life is family" and 

together with an image of that girl is taken from Websters Pages.

I love that distressed crackle effect on a spoon! 

Have a creative and wonderful week! 

And do not forget to participate in OVA's challenges, he he!
