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

My project:

I made a double dutch fold card and I found my tutorial for it here. I have also seen a lot of crafting buddies making these lately, and I just had to have a go.

My top tip: If you want to do something different, why don't you try out a folding tutorial. It doesn't have to be more difficult, and you'll learn something new.

Gotta tell you a sweet story about this card. My eldest daughter got to see it and she held it tight claiming that she would have it for her birthday and that her birthday was today. I told her she could have it for her birthday in june and she was so happy, kept staring at it and holding it tight. Don't you just love them when they get like that??

My recipe:

brown and pink bazill

DP from maja design rosa marina series

Pearls from papermania and e.pearls and crystals

Ribbon and flowers unknown (old stash)

Sentiment saying A super girl is having her birthday. Congratulations! (from Norsk Stempelblad?)

Circle, scalloped circle and lacey square dies

Dette blir en kort posting på bloggen siden det er min andre idag. Jeg har laget et julepenge lommekort for å gi til min nevø til jul. Jeg synes nemlig de standard lommene de kommer i fra butikken er ganske så kjedelige, så jeg laget min egen. For min DT post for Totally Gorjuss klikk her.
Just going to make a short post this evening, as this will be my second one today. I made a gift pocketholder card to give away for my nephew for Christmas. I think it is quite boring with those standard cards they come in at the store that I gotta make my own to give away. For my DT post at Totally Gorjuss click here.

Jeg har brukt en mal fra denne bloggen her, og tilpasset det til egen størrelse. Håper dere liker det, og ikke minst håper jeg nevøen min liker det. På innsiden er det bare blått, for jeg har gjort det enkelt og skrevet en personlig hilsen inni.
I have used a tutorial from this blog here and adjusted the size a bit. Hope you'll like it, and not least that my nephew is going to like it. The inside is just blue as I made it to use for a personal note inside.

1 prize of 5 digi stamps of your choice

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people. I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

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

Top Tip Tuesday - snowflakes

2011-12-06T09:30:00.005+01:00

It is tuesday again and time for another challenge at Top Tip Tuesday. It is blue teams week, but I have signed up for a tutorial this week, so I am playing along.

PAPER SNOWFLAKES TUTORIAL

Ingredients needed: 5 pieces of doublesided cardstock paper size 7,5 cm x7,5 cm, scissors and strong gluedots. Optional: You can also add 2 circles plus scalloped cirlcles on the front/back for decoration

I chose Maja design Vintage Winter for this one.

Step 1 & 2

Fold the paper diagonally twice and cut the paper while you hold the open flap from you:

You should at least cut 5 times and don't cut all the way to the end. Mine is cut 9 times.

Step 3

It should now look like this when you unfold the paper:

Step 4

Start curling the to ends in the middle towards eachother, like this:

Step 5

Then you turn the paper and do the same at the opposite side and use a strong gluedot to adhere the ends to eachother like this:

Step 6

Turn paper again and repeat. You do this until it is all finished. Then your piece should look something like this:

Step 7

Repeat until all 5 squares are finished

Step 8

Glue them all together

Step 9 (optional)

Use 4 circle diecuts in 2 different sizes and 2 scalloped circles bigger than the biggest circle and attach to the snowflake like this:

Looks easy doesn't it?? I hope you'll give the snowflake tutorial a go. It certainly would look lovely hanging on a christmas tree or in a window;)

Theme of this week's challenge is "Let it snow" and our sponsors are:

The Crafty Pad:

Prize - 2 Digi Images
