I want, as many times before, recommend the use of Scor-Pal when you make different kind of boxes. This tool is in my opinion indispensable... No doubt!! :)

I've colored the image with my Prismacolors. To make the "cream" on the cake, I've used Liquid Pearls. ;)

Inside the box, I've used texts from Norsk Stempelblad. I've also made a little pocket with a tag, for a personal greeting to the birthday child.

I've used this punch from Martha Stewart that keeps the monetary gift in place. ;)

Kurs på Mjøstreffet, lørdag den 5. februar.

2011-01-26T22:22:00.000+01:00

Jeg skal holde kurs på Mjøstreffet, lørdag den 5. februar kl. 11 - 13.

I og med at det snart er Valentinsdag, tenkte jeg vi kunne lage en hjerteeske av denne typen. Vi skal ikke lage esken helt lik som denne, for litt spennende må det jo være når dere kommer på kurset... ;)

Dette er en liten hjerteeske som kan brukes til så mangt. Jeg lager ofte disse eskene når jeg skal gi bort penger eller smykker i konfirmasjonsgave, dåpsgave, bursdaggave e.l.
Vi lager selvfølgelig esken helt fra bunnen av. :)

Det er kun 2 kursplasser igjen. Dersom du er interessert, kan du sende meg en mail.
Jeg sender nå ut en e-post med informasjon om innbetaling av kursavgiften til dere som har meldt dere på kurset.

Gleder meg til å treffe dere. :)
Ha en fin kveld.

Klem fra Kirsten

I love this beautiful paper from BoBunny. It's so delicate!

DT Stempelglede

2010-03-22T21:50:00.013+01:00

I’ve made another box – a heartbox this time. :) If you want to make one yourself, you can follow my tutorial. (I'm sorry I haven't translated it to English, but I hope you understand when using the Google Translater). There is a difference anyhow.. I have made the lid in the same way as the bottom this time, just a little bigger…

En ny eske fra meg - denne gangen en hjerteeske. Hvis du har lyst til å lage en hjerteeske, kan du prøve deg på denne tutorialen min. Jeg har imidlertid laget den litt annerledes. Har laget lokket på esken på samme måte som bunnen - bare litt større... ;)

Isn’t this paper from MME just adorable?? It feels like velvet, and I looooove it! ♥ I’ve used a textstamp from Stempelglede, and decorated the lid with this beautiful lace from Papirloftet, flowers, pearls, charms and ribbon.

Dette papiret fra MME er bare nyyyydelig! Uten tvil en favoritt! Jeg har brukt tekststempler fra Stempelglede.

Inside the box I’ve used another textstamp from Stempelglede. I love this text. It says “Magic is believing in yourself. If you can do that, you can make anything happen” (J.W. von Goethe).

Recipe:
Cardstock: Hearts from Panduro.
Papers: MME - Pink Damask Paper, Bazzill.
Stamps: Text stamps from Stempelglede.
Embellishments: Lace, ribbon, lace, pearls, charms, flowers.

I'll take this opportunity to thank you all for all the lovely comments you have given me lately. It means a lot to me. ♥ I wish I had time to thank each and everyone of you, but unfortunately time is too short.

Jeg vil benytte anledningen til å takke for alle de koselige kommentarene jeg har fått av dere. ♥ Skulle selvfølgelig ønske at jeg hadde tid til å takke hver enkelt av dere, men døgnet har dessverre altfor få timer... :(
Ha ei riktig fin uke alle sammen. Det går heldigvis mot vår!!! :)

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Hugs, Kirsten

Minikurs på Scrappehuset.

2010-02-11T22:05:00.005+01:00

For litt siden fikk jeg spørsmål om jeg kunne holde et minikurs på Scrappehuset, og det takket jeg selvfølgelig ja til. Med tanke på at det er både Valentines Day og morsdag på søndag, lagde jeg en liten "hjerte-veske" som skal fylles med sjokolade eller annet snadder.
Og vesken min - den finner veien til en god venn! :)

Har du lyst til å lage en slik hjerte-veske du også, håper jeg du får nytte av tutorialen min... Lykke til!

TUTORIAL

Du trenger 2 hjerter i stiv kartong, som skal være side-elementene i vesken. Jeg har brukt ferdige papphjerter som du bl.a. får kjøpt hos Panduro.

Jeg har brukt hjertet til å tegne opp 2 stk like hjerter i mønsterark, og 2 stk. i Bazill-kartong.

Lim de ensfargede, rosa hjertene oppå hjertene av stiv kartong, og legg hjertene av mønsterarket til side en liten stund.

Skjær ut følgende:

• Mønsterark 12 x 22,5 cm (A). Lag brettekant 2 cm fra kanten (jeg bruker alltid Scor-Pal), på 3 av sidene. Lag også en brett på langsiden – 10 cm fra den andre kanten. Klipp opp som anvist på bildet.

• Mønsterark 12 x 6,5 cm (B). Lag brettekant 2 cm fra kanten, på 3 av sidene. Klipp opp som anvist på bildet.

• Kraftkartong 9 x 9 cm (C).

• Bazzill kartong 12 x 9 cm (D). Lag brettekant på kortsidene, 2 cm fra kanten.

Lag en svak blyantstrek på hjertene som anvist på bildet. Dette for å plassere bunnen på riktig plass.
Påfør lim på endestykkene på del D, og monter på hjertene som vist på bildet.

Lim på mønsterarket som vist på bildet. Deretter limer du på kraftkartongen, slik at du får en stiv bunn i vesken. Skjær til et panel i Bazzill kartong, 9 x 9 cm, og lim så dette oppå kraftkartongen.

Påfør lim og fest ”tagge-kanten”. Husk at dersom du ønsker å dekorere mønsterarket med stempelmotiv, må du gjøre dette før du limer panelet til hjertene. Jeg har brukt et hjerte fra Stempelglede. Jeg har også brukt punch på kortsiden av mønsterarket.

Skjær ut et panel i mønstepapir, str. 4,5 – 20 cm. Lag mønstret kant med en punch.

Lim på håndtaket som vist på bildet.

Lim hjertene med mønsterark utenpå kraftkartongen.

Vesken lukkes med en liten magnet…

Pynt vesken etter eget ønske.

Dette ble et langt innlegg, men jeg håper forklaringen er forståelig.

Jeg ønsker dere alle en riktig god helg! Nyt Valentinsdagen, morsdagen og fastelaven! :)

Klem fra Kirsten

DT-project Unik Hobby

2010-02-10T07:00:00.004+01:00

Long time no see! I have had a long and needed break from cardmaking, but now it feels so good to make something again. Thank you so much for all the lovely awards and comments you have given me. It touches my heart, and I wish I had time to thank each and everyone of you..

Jeg har hatt en lang og nødvendig pause fra kortlaging og blogging en stund, men nå kribler det veldig i fingrene - og det er en god følelse.
Jeg har mange prosjekter i hodet, så nå er det bare ekstra timer i døgnet som står på ønskelista...

Tusen takk for alle koselige kommentarer og ikke minst Awards. Det betyr så utrolig mye, og jeg skulle ønske jeg hadde tid til å takke hver og en av dere.

My DT-project for Unik Hobby in January, was to make something with this beautiful stamp from Ladybug and Friends, designed by Elisabeth Bell.

I've made a gift box with an "easel card" on top. I saw Tiet's beautiful easel card, and wanted to give it a try myself. :)

Mitt DT-prosjekt for Unik Hobby i januar, var å lage noe med dette nydelige stempelet fra Ladybug and Friends, designet av Elisabeth Bell. Jeg lagde denne gaveesken,med et "easel-kort" på toppen. Jeg så Tiet's nydelige prosjekt, og fikk lyst til å prøve meg...

I've coloured the image with Promarkers.

Jeg har fargelagt motivet med Promarkere.

Viewed from the side.

Du er en engel.... | You are an angel....

2010-01-11T19:28:00.021+01:00

Er ikke dette papiret fra Papirdesign bare utrolig lekkert?? Jeg forelsket meg helt i det, og måtte bare lage en liten engle-eske... Dere er sikkert lei av eskene mine nå, men jeg liker veldig godt å lage dem... *fnis*

Isn’t this paper from Paperdesign just incredibly delicious?? I love it, and just had to make this angel box.
You are probably tired of my boxes now, but I just love making them…*lol*

Jeg har brukt disse diesene fra Spellbinders til å skjære ut topp og bunn. ”Veggen” er laget av Bazzill kartong og deretter kledd med det nydelige papiret fra Papirdesign. Lokker er i tillegg pyntet med en blonde, perler og diverse blomster.

I have used these dies from Spellbinders to cut out the top and bottom. "The wall" is made of Bazzill cardstock and covered with the beautiful paper from the Paperdesign. The top is decorated with a lace, flowers and pearls.

I esken har jeg lagt et koselig lys. Stempelet med teksten "God Jul" er fra Unik Stempel Design.

Inside the box, there is a little Christmas Gift - a Tealight Candle.The text in front of the box is from Unik Stempel Design, and means "Merry Christmas".

Tusen takk for at du titter innom. Ha en riktig fin kveld!
Klem

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful evening.

Innpakning for vinflaske | Packaging for a bottle of wine

2010-01-09T18:35:00.004+01:00

Her har jeg laget en "innpakning" til ei vinflaske. Denne lagde jeg også til Ett Trykk's desemberutgave. Idéen til dette prosjektet fikk jeg da jeg stod igjen med emballasjen til en 6-pakning Toblerone... :) Størrelsen på malen jeg har laget, passer perfekt til en halvflaske vin, likør e.l., men den kan selvfølgelig tilpasses ønsket størrelse.

I've created this design that fits perfect for decorating a half bottle of wine, liqueur etc. The template is easy to adjust to the size you desire. :) A perfect gift for a person who has everything. :)

Jeg har brukt et nydelig mønsterark fra 3ndypapir. Stempelteksten Gledelig Jul er fra Unik Stempel Design. Ellers har jeg pyntet med blomster, bånd, perler og metallpynt som du finner i nettbutikken til Unik Hobby.

I've used this beautiful paper from 3ndypapir, and a text stamp from Unik Stempel Design.

Fremgangsmåte:
Bunnen er laget av en sirkel (13,5 cm) som er skåret ut i kraftkartong. Denne er så kledd med bazzill kartong. Mønsterpapiret måler 26 x 17 cm. Bruk Scor-Pal og del opp mønsterpapiret som anvist på malen. Lag hull og fest eyelets i de øverste spissene. Lim sammen i siden og lim deretter mønsterpapiret på den runde kartongen. Spissene skal peke utover (og ligner da en "stjerne"). Træ båndet gjennom eyeletsene og knyt en liten sløyfe bak. Den store sløyfa er festet til en metallring og limt på i front. Bunnen er pyntet med blomster og perler.

Procedure:
The bottom is made of a circle of cardboard (13.5 cm), which is covered with Bazzill cardstock. Pattern paper is 26 x 17 cm. Use the Scor-Pal and scor as shown on the template. Make holes and fasten eyelets. Add glue and mount. Thread the ribbon through the eyelets and tie a small bow behind. Decorate as desired..

Tusen takk for at du besøker bloggen min. Jeg håper du har en fin helg!
Klem fra Kirsten

Gaveeske med lommer | Giftbag with pockets

2010-01-04T20:47:00.002+01:00

Denne gaveesken lagde jeg også til desemberutgaven av Ett Trykk. Den har 2 lommer som inneholder en CD og litt sjokolade. :) Jeg har brukt mønsterark fra Cosmo Cricket, og sydd rundt alle kantene med symaskin. Teksten på framsiden er fra Stempelglede.

Yesterday I showed you a box I made for the magazine "Ett Trykk" before Christmas.This is another project I made for the magazine. It's a giftbag with two pockets. Inside the pockets there are some chocolate and a CD. I've used my sewing machine around the edges.

Jeg har brukt dette koselige stempelet fra hÄnglar, og jeg har fargelagt med Promarkere.

I've coloured this cute hÄnglar girl with Promarkers.

Baksiden ser slik ut. Her har jeg igjen brukt den koselige teksten fra Stempelglede, og jeg har dekorert siden med diverse blomster og charms som du finner hos Unik Hobby.

On the other side, I've used a beautiful text from Stempelglede, together with flowers and charms.

Innsiden ser slik ut, og lommene har plass til en CD og litt godis. Jeg har brukt disse koselig julestemplene fra Ett Trykk på innsidene.

On the insides, I've used text stamps from Ett Trykk.

Tusen takk for at du besøker bloggen min. Ha en fin kveld.

Happy New Year, everyone!!

Jeg var så heldig å få være gjestedesigner i julenummeret av Ett Trykk, og denne lille esken var et av bidragene mine der... Jeg har skåret ut topp og bunn i kraftkartong, og "veggen" er laget av en remse akvarellkartong. Kartongen er deretter pyntet med et nydelig mønsterark fra Inkido.

*****

I was so lucky to be the Guest Designer in the last issue of the Norwegian magazine "Ett Trykk", and this little box was one of the projects I made for the magazine.
I've made the top and bottom of the box with cardboard, and the "wall" is made of watercolor card stock. The pieces are decorated with patterned paper from Inkido.

Jeg forelsket meg helt i denne nydelige nissegutten fra byEvy. Jeg har maskert motivet, og brukt et nydelig tekststempel fra Stempelglede i tillegg. Jeg har fargelagt motivet med Promarkere, og pepperkaka har fått en "meliskant" med snowmarker.

I'm in love with this beautiful stamp from byEvy. I've masked the stamp with a beautiful text from Stempelglede.

I esken er det plass til hjertesjokolader og en koselig liten kjøleskapsmagnet - fra ungene til pappa... :)
Teksten "Til Pappa" er skrevet ut fra pc, og den herlige metallpynten finner du i nettbutikken til Unik Hobby.

Inside the box there is heart-chocolate and a Refrigerator Magnet. :) The kids gave this box to their Dad for Christmas..

Tusen takk for at du besøker bloggen min. Jeg håper du har en god start på det nye året!

Bursdagskort til en god venn... | Birthday card for a good friend...

2009-12-26T16:33:00.007+01:00

Først av alt vil jeg få ønske dere en riktig God Jul. Jeg håper dere har hatt ei koselig julefeiring så langt, og at dere nå nyter gode romjulsdager.

Jeg beklager at jeg har vært fraværende de siste ukene - både når det gjelder blogging og svar på mailer... Noen uker før jul fikk vi plutselig beskjed om alvorlig sykdom i nær familie. Jeg klarer ikke å være kreativ i slike stunder. Tankene er helt andre steder...Men, kanskje blir det nyttårshilsner fra meg i år, kanskje ikke...

I mellomtida får jeg vise dere gamle prosjekter, og her er det første... :)
Det er lenge siden jeg lagde dette bursdagskortet, men mottakeren har faktisk nesten akkurat fått det...

First of all, I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas. I hope you're enjoying yourselves! I'm so sorry I haven't been around for a while, both in terms of blogging and answering mails... Some weeks ago we were suddenly notified of serious illness in close family. I haven't been able to be creative...

Instead of showing you something new, I'll show you some old stuff... :) I made this birthday card a while ago...

Jeg har fargelagt den søte hänglar-jenta med distress reinkere og tynn pensel. De nydelige mønsterarkene er fra Maja Design. Jeg er så glad i arkene fra Maya Design... Tekststempelet er fra Stempelglede.

I've colored the cute hänglar-girl with Distress Reinkers. The beautiful patterned papers are from Maja Design. I just love them.

Masse herlig pynt som du finner i nettbutikken til Unik Hobby.

Innsiden av kortet ser slik ut, og i lommen en det plass for sjokolade... Også her har jeg brukt en koselig tekst fra Stempelglede.

This is inside the card. I've put a heart chocolate in the pocket...

Til slutt vil jeg ønske dere alle sammen en fortsatt God Jul. Og til dere som venter på mail fra meg - håper dere har forståelse for at det kommer når det kommer.... :)

Tusen takk for at du tar deg tid til å besøke bloggen min! Setter utrolig stor pris på det!

God klem

Enjoy your Chistmas everyone. I'll answer your mails, but I hope you have patience with me... ;)

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. It means a lot to me!

Hugs, Kirsten

Adventskalender | Advent Calendar

2009-11-25T01:08:00.011+01:00

Denne uken holdt jeg årets siste kurs hos Unik Hobby, og da var det adventskalender som stod på timeplanen. Inspirert av den nydelige bryllupskaka til min gode DT-kollega Maya, fikk jeg så lyst til å prøve meg på en adventskake... ;)
Etter fargene å dømme, er det lite som minner om advent med denne kaka, men det var ikke enkelt å finne lilla mønsterark til alle kursdeltakerne.... Og det er sikkert ingen bombe at jeg er utrolig glad i arkene fra Maja Design heller.... *knis*

This week I had another class at Unik Hobby. The last one this year...
Inspired by the beautiful wedding cake that my DT-friend Maya has made, I wanted to try to make an Advent Calendar Cake... ;)
For the colors to judge there is not much similar to the Advent... *lol*

Kaken består av 24 kakestykker, og malen har jeg funnet her.. Jeg har riktignok endret den litt.. Jeg har laget kakestykkene i 2 størrelser, i tillegg til at jeg har endret lukkingen.. Lukene holdes igjen med en blonde, som er lukket med en magnet... Kanskje litt tungvindt å åpne/lukke, men jeg syns det pyntet litt opp med bånd og hjerter, jeg... ;)

I've found the cake template here, but I've changed the template a bit. I've made the boxes in 2 sizes, and as you can see I've changed the closing too.

Materials:
Papers: Bazzill - white, Maja Design Vintertid - Rimfrost, Snøflingor, Snøyra, Paper Doilies.
Punch: Martha Stewart Heart Punch,
Embellishments: Paper flowers, ribbon, lace.

Tusen takk for alle de koselige tilbakemeldingene jeg har fått av dere både på mail og her i bloggen min. Det varmer! *klem*

Mange av dere har sendt meg mailer i forbindelse med bidragene mine til det siste nummeret av Ett Trykk. Jeg setter utrolig stor pris på den enorme responsen, og jeg lover å komme tilbake til dere som har sendt meg spørsmål, men jeg rekker det nok ikke før i slutten av uken, dessverre...

Tusen takk for at du tar deg tid til å besøke bloggen min.
Jeg håper du har en fin uke. :)

Klem fra Kirsten

Thank you very much for all the lovely comments you have given me lately. It means a lot! Have a great week everyone. Take care!

Guest Instructor at Scor-Pal...

2009-11-18T21:38:00.008+01:00

Husker du at jeg fortalte at jeg har et par hemmeligheter på gang? Nå har jeg fått klarsignal til å avsløre den ene… :)
For en stund siden fikk jeg nemlig en mail hvor jeg ble spurt om jeg ville være ”gjeste-instruktør” hos Scor-Pal. Jeg skal ærlig innrømme at jeg trodde det var noen som tulla med meg, så jeg ”googlet” ganske heftig ei stund… *knis* Det føltes nesten som å være med på en skriftlig utgave av ”Gå fem på med P4!” Vel, nok om det…

Jeg ble spurt om jeg ville lage en tutorial på den lille esken min med 4 skuffer. Og selvfølgelig var det stor stas å bli spurt om det. Ifølge Diana, vil disse bli publisert på Scor-Pal sin nettside ved nyttår…

Til denne esken har jeg laget en tutorial med bruk av Scor-Pal i inches. Motivet er fargelagt med Promarkere.

Do you remember that I told you I have a couple of secrets going on?? I’ll reveal one of them tonight :)

Some weeks ago I was asked if I would be interested in being a Guest Instructor for an upcoming E-zine at Scor-Pal !! I must admit that I thougt someone was joking with me… But actually it was for real! It's a great honor! Thank you, Diana!

I was asked to make a tutorial for my little box with 4 drawers. Diana says that these tutorials will be published at the web site in the New Year. I've used Scor-Pal in inches on the tutorial for this box. I've coloured the image with Promarkers.

Kortet er ikke ferdig pyntet på innsiden.. Det gjør jeg først når jeg vet hvem jeg skal gi esken til... ;)

I'm not finished decorating the card... I'll do that when I know who's gonna get it... ;)

Nå får du også kjøpt Scor-Pal i centimeter. :) Vet at mange synes inches er litt vanskelig, og da er det jo supert at de har laget dette geniale verktøyet i centimeter også! Denne esken er laget i centimeter-mål, og på tutorialen for denne har jeg selvfølgelig brukt Scor-Pal i centimeter. Som dere ser er esken ganske lik den forrige rosa esken min, og grunnen til det er at jeg fikk en bestilling på en tilsvarende eske... Men jeg fikk da lyst til å bytte ut motivet... ;)

Now the Metric Scor-Pal is here! :) If you don't like inches, you will love this one! I've used the Metric Scor-Pal on the tutorial for this box. As you can see, the box is pretty much like the other pink box I've made... That's because I got an order for a similar pink box.. . ;)

Dersom du har lyst til å prøve deg på esker i mange varianter, anbefaler jeg deg å klikke deg inn på nettsiden til Scor-Pal, og den finner du her. Og har du ikke anskaffet deg Scor-Pal enda, kan jeg bare anbefale det på det sterkeste. Du finner forresten dette geniale verktøyet i nettbutikken til Unik Hobby.

oooOooo

Tusen takk for at du besøker bloggen min. Jeg håper du har en fin kveld.

Eskekurs og "make & take" på Scraporama messen

2009-11-14T01:45:00.004+01:00

På Scraporama-messen forrige helg holdt jeg et eskekurs, i tillegg til noen runder med "make & take". Det var utrolig moro å treffe så mange koselige folk! Kjempestas å treffe bloggvenner "live", og ikke minst å treffe noen nye også:)

Kursdeltakerne fikk lage denne jule-esken.:) Jada, den er veeeeldig rosa - men hvorfor ikke...? *knis* Julen trenger jo nødvendigvis ikke å være rød eller grønn... :)
Jeg syns denne jenta fra Whiff of Joy er så utrolig søt, og hun gjør seg da veldig godt i rosa også... Syns du ikke??

Last weekend I had a class for Unik Hobby on the Scraporama Fair, and this is the box we made... The box is very pink, but who says that Christmas always has to be red or green...? *lol* I love this stamp from Whiff of Joy, and she looks very nice in pink, don't you think? :)

Tekststemplene som er brukt er fra Unik Stempel Design og Norsk Stempelblad.

Jeg hadde noen runder "make & take" også, og de som hadde lyst fikk lage "3 gaveesker på en-to-tre". Dette er veldig enkle esker, som man virkelig lager "på en-to-tre". Spesielt hvis man har dette geniale verktøyet - nemlig Scor-Pal! Jeg anbefaler det på det sterkeste! Du får det både i inches og centimeter.

We had some "make & takes" at the stand too. I showed them how to make gift boxes in a hurry. These are the boxes that we made...

Du finner beskrivelse til den firkantede esken her. Jeg har imidlertid laget esken min litt lavere enn det som er oppgitt i beskrivelsen. Dersom du ønsker å lage esken etter målene på esken min, finner du målene i beskrivelsen nedenfor.

You'll find Valerie Stangle's tutorial for this box here. I've made my box a little smaller. I've made a template below.

Her er en trekantet eske vi lagde. Papirets størrelse er 10 x 20 cm.

We made this Triangular Box too.

Den siste esken de fikk lage var denne...

This was the last one...

Tusen takk til dere som deltok på kurs og make & take, og til dere som stakk innom standen til Unik Hobby. Jeg ønsker dere alle en riktig fin og kreativ helg. Vi har fått snø, til ungenes store glede!

We got lots of snow today, and the kids just love it... !
Have a great weekend, everyone! Take care!

Hugs, Kirsten

Julekort | Christmas Card - Unik Hobby

2009-11-11T00:23:00.002+01:00

Først av alt må jeg si tuuuuuusen takk for alle de flotte kommentarene jeg har fått av dere den siste tiden. Jeg har også fått en del mailer fra både gamle og nye bloggvenner… Jeg skal prøve å svare dere etter hvert. Håper dere har tålmodighet med meg...

Det er kjempekoselig å høre at dere har savnet meg her ute. Det er flere årsaker til at det har vært stille i bloggen min en stund… Jeg kan ikke fortelle alt nå, for noe er litt hemmelig enda… *hihi* Jeg har også hatt en veldig travel periode på jobben de siste månedene, og har ikke hatt overskudd til å være kreativ eller å tilbringe tid foran PC’n…

For litt siden holdt jeg kurs hos Unik Hobby, og dette kortet stod på timeplanen…Den søte pingvinen fra Whipper Snapper er fargelagt med Distress Reinkere.

Thank you so much for all your touching comments in my blog. I can’t tell how much it means to me!!!! I’ve got lots of mail from both new and old blogfriends too. It’s so nice to hear that you’ve missed me… *hugs*
There are several reasons why it has been quiet in my blog for a while ... I can not tell you everything yet (secrets), but soon…. * lol *
I have also had a very busy period at work the last few months ..

I had a class at Unik Hobby some weeks ago, and I showed them how to make this card…

Motivet er montert på et avtagbart ”magebelte”, som holdes på plass ved hjelp av magneter.

Når man tar av magebeltet, ser kortet slik ut…Bak magebeltet har jeg brukt et stempel fra Unik Stempel Design. Jeg har også brukt et tekststempel fra Norsk Stempelblad.

Enkelt pyntet på innsidene… Også her med en tekst fra en av de nye juleplatene til Norsk Stempelblad.

Materials:
Stamps: Whipper Snapper – Holiday Penguin, Unik Stempel Design – tekst, Norsk Stempelblad – tekst.
Papers: Bazzill, Inkido – ljus blå prick
Tools: Spellbinders - Nesting Circle Scallop Large, Nesting Circle Large, Nesting Petite Oval Scallop Large and Nesting Petite Oval Large. Martha Stewart – Mini hearts edege punch, Crushed velvet flock Lilywhite, pearls, Punch Snowflake Citrine,

Tutorial - Box with 4 drawers...

2009-09-05T07:00:00.009+02:00

This is my DT-project for Unik Hobby last month, and I'll show you how to make it. :) This box is larger than the other one I've made, but the procedure it the same.

I warn you - this is a long post... ;)

I've colored the image with Promarkers. I've only tried this once, but hopefully practice makes perfect. *LOL*. I love this cute image of Sarah Kay.

On top of the box I've mounted a card (I got this idea from my good friend Lena Katrine), and it looks like this inside... To the right, I'm going to write a personal greeting to a good friend. I've decorated the insides with stamps from Stempelglede.

BOX TUTORIAL

You need 2 pieces of cardboard, these are 6x6 inches.

You need 4 pieces of cardstock, 6x6 inches.
You are going to paste these on both sides of the cardboards above.

Now we're going to make the drawers. I've used my Scor-Pal. It's so easy!!
This cardstock is 4 15/16 (length) x 4 2/16 (width) inches
Scor at 15/16 - 4 (length) and 15/16 - 3 3/16 (width).

Cut as shown below.

Add glue as shown below.

Fold the 4 corners, and your firs drawer is nearly finished...

I've mounted Tim Holtz Hitch Fasteners on each drawer.

This panel is 7 5/8 x 3 2/16 inches.
Scor at 1 - 3 2/8 - 4 5/16 - 6 5/8.

Fold and glue as shown below.

You need 4 of these.

We will now assemble the drawers on the bottom of the box.

The box is almost done! :)

Make a card for the top if you want to.
I've used brown Bazill and this beautiful patterned paper from KaiserCraft.
Remember to attach the ribbon before you paste the card on top of the box..

Material list:
Papers: Cardboards, Bazill - green and brown, KaiserCraft - Duchess Empire, Promarkers - Cartridge Pads.
Stamps: Sarah Kay - Puppy Love, Stempelglede - Grunge Flourish and Min Venn, Norsk Stempelblad/Ett Trykk - Hjørnestempler.

More Grunge Flourish Hearts...

2009-08-19T07:00:00.022+02:00

I made this box for a good friend's birthday, a while ago. I can't get enough of these Grunge Flourish Hearts from Stempelglede. I just love them!! I also love this beautiful frame from Spellbinders.

Jeg er fremdeles i eskemodus jeg, og her kommer en til... Jeg lagde den riktignok for en stund siden - til en god venn som hadde bursdag.

Som dere ser koser jeg meg med Stempelglede-hjertene! De er bare nyyydelige!! Jeg har også forelsket meg helt i denne herlige Spellbinders-rammen. Jeg ville derfor ikke dekorere esken med masse annen pynt. Av og til er jo det enkle ofte det beste.... ;) Syns det var så moro å lage en eske med denne herlige rammen!

In the bottom of the drawer, I've stamped this beautiful text from Stempelglede.
I bunnen av skuffen har jeg stemplet denne nydelige teksten fra Stempelglede.

I've coloured the heart with Perfect Pearls and decorated it with beautiful Swarovski crystals.

Hjertet er fargelagt med Perfect Pearls og dekorert med nydelige Swarovski krystaller.

Materials:
Stamps: Stempelglede - Grunge Flourish Hearts, Stempelglede - Min venn, Stempelglede - Gratulerer med dagen.
Papers: Bazill, Melissa Frances - Blitzen.
Ink: Archival Ink - Coffee.
Embellish: Swarovski crystals, flowers, TimHoltz Hitch Fasteners, ribbons and charms.
Tools: Cuttlebug, Spellbinders - Shapes Frame Scalloped Edge.

oooOooo

Thank you so much for visiting.I hope you'll have a beautiful day! :)

A litte box (again.....)

2009-07-29T23:27:00.008+02:00

I have to admit - I just love making small boxes!! I made this one is for my dear niece's birthday. She loves this blue colour, so the box just had to be blue! :)

Jeg må bare innrømme det - jeg er utrolig glad i lage esker av ymse slag... Denne har jeg laget til tanteungen min som hadde bursdag for litt siden. Hun er veldig glad i denne blåfargen, så esken måtte selvfølgelig bli blå! :) Og jeg ble selvfølgelig ikke lei meg for det, selv om dette er en litt annerledes blåfarge enn jeg pleier å bruke...

I've used a beautiful paper from Prima, called "My Love". I've decorated the box with flowers, pearls and ribbon, and a beautiful butterfly from Karen Marie Klip.
I likhet med det forrige kortet mitt, har jeg også her brukt et nydelig mønsterark fra Prima. Jeg tror det heter "My Love". I tillegg har jeg pyntet med blomster, perler og bånd. Sommerfuglen er fra Karen Marie Klip, og den har jeg påført litt farge og glitter.

I've made 4 small drawers, using my ScorPal. In front of each drawer I've mounted TimHoltz Hitch Fasteners. I've put money inside the drawers.

Jeg har laget 4 små skuffer (nesten på størrelse med en fyrstikkeske), og de har jeg laget med ScorPal'en min. Så genialt! På skuffene har jeg brukt disse knottene fra Tim Holtz. Inni eskene har jeg lagt penger og litt snadder til bursdagsbarnet.
I wanted to make a little "card" under the top of the box. I got this idea from my good friend Lena Katrine. I've used the little stamp Grunge Flourish around the edges.

Under lokket på esken har jeg laget et lite "kort". Denne idéen har jeg plukket opp hos min gode venn Lena Katrine. Rundt kortet har jeg brukt det lille stempelet Grunge Flourish.

I've used a beautiful heart from the Grunge Flourish Hearts collection. I've coloured the heart with StazOn - Teal Blue, and decorated with pearls.

Jeg har brukt dette nydelige stempelet fra samlingen Grunge Flourish Hearts. Hjertet er stemplet 2 ganger for å gi en 3D-effekt. Jeg har embosset med klart pulver og fargelagt med StazOn - Teal Blue. Til slutt har jeg dekorert med halvperler. .

oooOooo

Thank you so much for looking! Have a nice evening! Take care!
Hugs, Kirsten

Nå skal jeg bevilge meg en real bloggrunde! Det er dessverre så altfor lenge siden, og jeg gleder meg!!

Tusen takk for at du titter innom. Jeg håper du har en riktig fin kveld.

Wedding Card | Bryllupskort

2009-07-27T21:50:00.002+02:00

I started on this Wedding Card a while ago, but it didn't turn out the way I had in mind, so I just had to put it away for a while... ;)

Jeg begynte på dette bryllupskortet for lenge siden, men det ble ikke slik jeg hadde planlagt, så jeg måtte bare legge det fra meg en stund... ;)

I've used a beautiful stamp from the new Grunge Flourish Hearts Collection from Stempelglede. together with a text stamp from the new Wedding Collection - "To the Newlywed".
Gunhild sent me a beautiful stitched paper from Prima, called Romance. The paper is absolutely gorgeous, so it really did hurt to cut it in pieces... I've sewn some uneven seams around the panel.

Her har jeg brukt et av de nydelige hjertene fra Grunge Flourish Hearts Collection sammen med en tekst fra den nye plata Til Brudeparet. Gunhild sendte meg dette nydelige arket fra Prima. Det er så utrolig lekkert, så det gjorde virkelig "vondt" å klippe i det. Jeg har sydd noen skjeve sømmer rundt panelet, for å "ramme det inn" litt...

A closeup of the heart. I've stamped the image twice, to get a 3D effect. I've empossed the heart and coloured it with Crimson Copper Ink (from Brilliance) and Perfect Pearls (Berry Twist). As you can see, I've mounted pearls around the heart.

Her er et nærbilde av hjertet. Hjertet er embosset og fargelagt med svamp og blekk fra stempelputa Crimson Copper Ink (fra Brilliance) og Perfect Pearls (Berry Twist). Hjertet er montert på 3D-puter. Jeg har også limt halvperler rundt hele hjertet.

I've decorated the card with ribbon and this beautiful flowers and pearls from Unik Hobby.

Jeg elsker blomster og perler, og disse herlighetene finner du selvfølgelig hos Unik Hobby.

You'll find the leaves and flowers at Unik Hobby and Papirloftet. I've used the Daisy Leaves die from Boss Kut, to cut out the big leaves.

Her har jeg brukt blomst fra Papirloftet og blader og blomster fra Unik Hobby. De store bladene har jeg kuttet ut med diesen Daisy Leaves fra Boss Kut.

I'll show you one of the insides. I've used a text from the Wedding Collection. It's a text from the Bible - "Right now three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love".

The other inside is pretty much like this one, but I've replaced the textstamp with a personal greeting to the newlywed.

Her er den ene innsiden av kortet. Jeg har også her brukt et tekststempel fra samlingen Til brudeparet. Den andre innsiden er bygget opp på samme måte. Jeg har bare byttet ut tekststempelet med en personlig hilsen til brudeparet.

------------------

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you're enjoying the summer! Take care everyone!
Hugs, Kirsten

Tusen takk for at du titter innom. Jeg håper du har en riktig fin sommer!

Gift Bag | Gavepose

2009-07-14T00:43:00.004+02:00

This is another DT project for Unik Hobby. In June, I was supposed to create something with this beautiful stamp from Whiff of Joy. I made a Gift Bag for a good friend... The image is coloured with Distress Ink Reinkers. I hope you like it! :)

Her er juni-bidraget mitt for Unik Hobby. Jeg skulle lage noe med dette nydelige stempelet fra Whiff of Joy. Denne gangen ble det en gavepose til en god venn... Motivet er fargelagt med Distress Ink Reinkere og en tynn pensel.

I've made the bag with this patterned paper from MakingMemories. I cut out the frame with a beautiful die from Spellbinders (Shapabilities Scalloped Frame) that I got from my good friend Lena. I love this die! Thank you very much, my dear friend! *hugs*. I've decorated the Bag with flowers, matching ribbon and a copper charm.
Selve gaveposen lagde jeg med dette mønsterarket fra MakingMemories. Jeg har stanset ut rammen med en nydelig die fra Spellbinders (Shapabilities Scalloped Frame), som jeg var så heldig å få av min gode venn, Lena. Tusen takk, vennen. Jeg kan garantere deg at denne vil bli mye brukt! *klem*. Posen er dekorert med matchende bånd, diverse blomster og kobberpynt.

On the other side of the Bag, I've used a text stamp from Stempelglede. In English it means something like "Friendship get the soul to flourish".

På baksiden av posen har jeg brukt et av mine favorittstempler fra Stempelglede. Jeg har også her stanset ut et ramme med diesen fra Spellbinders.

oooOooo

Thank you very much for visiting! Please feel free to leave me a comment if you have time.
I hope you're enjoying your summer! Take care!

Honest scrap og en award...

2009-07-13T23:55:00.002+02:00

For litt siden fikk jeg denne morsomme utfordringen fra Aina og Lena Katrine. Dette er reglene:

This award is "For a blog whose content or design, in the giver's opinion is, brilliant". The conditions of the award are:

♥ I must thank the person who gave me the award.
♥ I must list their blog and link to it.
♥ I must list 10 honest things about myself.
♥ I must put a copy of The Honest Scrap Logo on my blog.
♥ I must select at least seven other worthy bloggers & list their links.
♥ I must notify the bloggers of the award.

Her er litt om meg... :)

Familie og venner betyr mye for meg, men jeg syns også det er utrolig godt å bare være helt for meg selv innimellom...
Kaffe har blitt "et must" for meg...
Jeg er en dårlig blogger...
For 20 år siden trente jeg mye og var i veldig god form... Skulle veldig gjerne vært "der" igjen....
Noe av det mest stemningsfulle jeg vet, er å sitte å drømme meg bort i flammene fra et bål...
Skulle gjerne vært litt mindre "kontroll-freak"...
Er dessverre altfor glad i sjokolade...
Jeg får nesten aldri produsert noe på stempeltreff, men jeg får isteden skravla desto mer... :)
Jeg håper jeg får oppleve å bli gammel.
Min store drøm er å eie et lite, sjarmerende feriested ved sjøen...

Jeg ønsker å gi denne utfordringen videre til Anne, Lene Aase, Gunn Merete, Liv, Yvonne, Marianne og Leni.

Jeg har også fått en award som jeg må vise fram. Fikk denne koselig awarden av Marianne for litt siden også. Tusen, tusen takk! Jeg setter så stor pris på at du ville gi denne til meg.

Jeg ønsker å gi awarden videre til alle mine bloggvenner, med ønske om en riktig god sommer!

Klem fra Kirsten

Confirmation Gift | Konfirmasjonsgave

2009-06-18T00:29:00.003+02:00

This is a Confirmation Gift for a beautiful girl, who loves pink. I just had to make a pink box for her.. I've also decorated it with this adorable photo of her, when she was a little girl. :)

Dette er en gave til ei herlig jente som ble konfirmert for litt siden. Hun er veldig glad i rosa, så da måtte det jo bare bli en rosa eske. :) I tillegg valgte jeg å pynte esken med et herlig barnebilde av henne.

The paper is "Bella Rose" from MME. The textstamp is from Stempelglede.

Mønsterpapiret jeg har brukt er ”Bella Rose” fra MME. Stempelet er fra konfirmasjonsplata til Stempelglede.

Inside the box, there is a personal greeting and money.
Inni esken ligger pengegaven sammen med en liten hilsen.

I've decorated the box with beautiful flowers and pearls. You'll find them in Unik Hobby's webstore.
Jeg er så glad i disse herlige blomstene og perlene. Kan liksom aldri få nok av dem. Du finner dem i nettbutikken til Unik Hobby.... :)

Thank you so much for looking. I'll be so happy if you'll leave me a comment too!
Take care, everyone!
Hugs, Kirsten

Tusen takk for at du besøker bloggen min. Det er kjempekoselig om du legger igjen spor etter deg også.... :) Ha en fin ukeslutt.

Minnebok | Memory Album

2009-06-14T23:32:00.008+02:00

Som dere sikkert har skjønt, går det veldig trådt her for tida... Endelig får jeg postet DT-bidraget mitt til Unik Hobby. Utfordringen for mai var å lage noe med dette stempelet fra Stamp-It. I disse konfirmasjonstider, har jeg valgt å lage en liten Minnebok. Her kan konfirmanten notere og lime inn det hun måtte ønske fra konfirmasjonsdagen.

As you probably have noticed, I haven't been around much lately... Finally I've got time to post my DT project for Unik Hobby. The challenge last month was to make something with this stamp from Stamp-It. I decided to create a Memory Album for a Confirmant. In this album she can collect memories from her Confirmation.

Motivet er fargelagt med Distress Reinkere.
I've coloured the image with Distress Reinkers.

Jeg får aldri nok av disse herlige blomstene.
I can't get enough of these beautiful flowers.

Her er noen av innsidene jeg har laget...
Her kan man selvfølgelig lage hvor mange sider man måtte ønske.

Albumets bakside.
This is the back cover of the album.

Materials:
Stamps: Stamp-It - Cindy.
Patterned paper: Papirdesign - Romantikk.
Embellishments: Flowers, pearls, lace, glitter,
Tools: Spellbinders , Bind-it-all.

Tusen takk for at du besøker bloggen min. Jeg håper på litt roligere tider, og ser frem til å kose meg med bloggene deres i tida fremover. Det er dessverre altfor lenge siden.
Ha ei riktig fin uke, alle sammen!

I've made these cards for a couple of twins' Confirmation a week ago. I didn't have much time, so I chose made them very clean and simple. :)

Disse kortene lagde jeg til et tvilligpar som ble konfirmert for en ukes tid siden... Jeg hadde knapp tid, så de ble derfor veeeldig enkle... ;)

I've used at stamp from Stempelglede.

Stempelet jeg har brukt her, er fra Konfirmant-plata til Stempelglede.

I put the money behind a "belt", decorated with a ribbon of pearls. The card is closed using a small magnet.

Pengene er plassert bak et belte dekorert med et bånd av perler. Lokket på kortet er lukket med en liten magnet.

Thank you so much for visiting. I hope you'll have time to leave me a comment too. I appreciate that! Have a great week everyone! Take care! :)

Confirmation Gift | Konfirmasjons gave

2009-05-05T00:47:00.002+02:00

This weekend we were in Trondheim in our dear niece's Confirmation. There was a wonderful ceremony in Olavshallen, with many excited young people.

We gave our niece money, but I wanted to make a box for her istead of putting the money in an envelope. Probably no surprise, because I love making boxes, you know... :)

I helga var vi i konfirmasjonen til vår kjære niese i Trondheim. Det var en stemningsfull seremoni i Olavshallen, med mange spente unge jenter og gutter. I og med at vi ga henne penger, hadde jeg lyst til å lage en liten hjerteeske til henne, istedenfor å legge pengene i en konvolutt... Det kom nok sikkert ikke som noen stor overraskelse... :)

I've decorated the box with flowers from Prima, and a beautiful Cherry flower that I got from my good friend, Maya. Thank you, my friend.

Jeg har pyntet esken med blomster fra Prima, i tillegg til en nydelig kirsebærblomst som jeg har fått av min gode venn, Maya. Tusen takk, vennen!

Inside the box... / Slik ser esken ut inni...

Inside the box there is a smaller heart with a personal greeting. I tied the money in a gold thread attached to the heart...

Nedi esken la jeg et mindre hjerte med en personlig hilsen, hvor jeg også hadde knyttet pengene i en gulltråd...

Materials:
Papers: Papirdesign - Romantikk Harmoni.
Stamps: Stempelglede - Til Konfirmanten.
Embellishments: Pearls and ribbon from Unik Hobby, lace from Papirloftet.

oooOooo

Thank you very much for all those lovely comments and awards you have given me lately. I'll be happy to visit your blogs too, during this week.

I hope you're enjoying yourselves. Take care everyone.

Tusen, tusen takk for alle de koselige kommentarene og award'ene dere har gitt meg i det siste. Jeg gleder meg til å beundre alle de nydelige kunstverkene deres som jeg har gått glipp av de siste ukene. Jeg håper å få tid til en bloggrunde i løpet av de neste dagene!

Jeg håper dere nyter våren, og ønsker dere alle en fin fortsettelse på uka.

WOJ - Willow and Oakley....

2009-04-12T23:04:00.003+02:00

This is my DT card for Unik Hobby this month.. I got this cute little stamp of Oakley, and I wanted him to have company of Willow. :) I've tried to mask them, to have the look like she's touching his thigh... ;)

Her er DT-kortet mitt for Unik Hobby denne måneden. Utfordringen var å lage noe med denne sjarmerende lille gutten, Oakley. Han er jo bare sååå søt da! Jeg hadde lyst til at han skulle ha selskap av Willow, så jeg maskerte motivet slik at det skulle se ut som hun holder han på låret... ;)

I've used a text stamp from Norsk Stempelblad AS which says "Faith, hope and love" and this beautiful paper from Basic Grey.

Tekststempelet er fra Norsk Stempelblad AS, og du finner det på denne plata med mange andre herlige tekster. Så løp og kjøp! :) Mønsterarket er fra Basic Grey , og det finner du her. Jeg falt pladask for dette arket!

I've coloured the image with Distress Reinkers.

Motivet er som vanlig fargelagt med Distress Reinkers.

Inside the card, I've used a text stamp from Unik Stempel Design, which says "A heart that loves, is always young".

Inni kortet har jeg brukt et tekststempel fra Unik Stempel Design, med den koselige teksten "Det hjertet som elsker er alltid ungt".

Materials:
Papers: Bazill and Basic Grey.
Stamps: WOJ - Oakley and Willow, from Norsk Stempelblad AS and Unik Stempel Design.
Ink: Distress Reinkers.
Embellishments: Prima flowers and leaves, Swarovski-crystals, Charms, Lace, Say it in Pearls.
