Die Cuts No Punches @ I ❤️ ProMarkers


Good Morning All Crafters.

Shabby Chic at Fashionista Challenge

Hello Again, fellow Crafters.
Today I’m here to show you my project for
the Shabby Chic Cahllenge
at
Fashionista Challenge

As it’s the 3rd and final week to enter the challenge, I guess many of you already have made your shabby Chic projects and entered the challenge, but if you haven’t, just find your shabby stash, create and join us.

Our sponsors for this challenge are
The Ribbon Girl
and
Crimson Cloud

Now over to my project.
I have decorated a paperbag to put a little gift for my mother in.
The paperbag was originally Craftcoloured, but with papers, paint and Inking, nothing much of that shows through.
The image is from Magnolia and coloured with Distress Reinkers. Around the image I sprinkled on a little Shabby White Embossing Enamel (Frantage). The imagepanel is then mounted on a Spellbinderframe - perfect size for this image
DPs are from MajaDesign.
I also used some cheesecloth between the layers.
In the flowerarrangement I put in some lace, pearlstrings, swirls and leaves (a die from La La Land), then I gave it a little brush with the white Gesso. I just had to put on some halfpearls…
The tag is tied to the handle with seambindingribbontied into a bow. Around the seambindingbow I tied a button and a heartcharm with a little piece of hemp.
All paperedges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.



The back of the paperbag, where I wrote a personal greeting:

Magnolia GiftTag

Hello again
Thursday evening, and I have 4 days off from work, «weekend» untill Tuesday - Wonderful times!
I may even find time to do more blogposts, I have several projects I haven’t posted yet :)

Tonight I want to show you a little gifttag I’ve made - yes, it’s for a christmasgift. I love to put homemade tags on my christmaspresents.
I’ve used one of my newest Magnoliaimages, coloured with ProMarkers. I really need some pinkcolouring-practise, I find it really hard to work out which pinktones blend well together…
The tag is made with a Nellie’s-die as base
Underneath the image I put a «goldencreamcoloured" lace, the I decorated around it with some hearts (dies from Memory Box and punch from Martha Stewart). The snowflake is a Magnolia DooHickey, with a little, blue rhinestone in the middle, just to match the ribbon and the bow.
The paperedges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain, as usual.


The back of the tag. Stamps from Papirdesign used here:

I’ll join these challenges with my little gifttag:
Magnolia-licious  - Pretty In Pink
Time For Magnolia #46 - Anything Goes In Christmas

Gingham/ Plaid at I ❤️ ProMarkers

Hello, fellow crafters
It’s Wednesday, and time for a new challenge over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers
This week the theme is
Gingham/ Plaid/ Checks

Again I’ve used one of Sherri Baldys My Besties images, this one is Img 182

ProMarkers used to colour the image are:
Ivory, Dusky Pink, Tan, Blush
Cocoa, Tan, Satin, Sandstone,
Arctic Blue, Pastel Blue,
Blossom
and Blender

DPs are from MajaDesign
I’ve used Magnolia DooHickeys and Spellbindersdies
The snowflakedpunched edge is made with Martha Stewarts Aspen Snowflake punch.
Textstamps are from Kort & Godt and Norsk Stempelblad AS.
The flowers have been laying around for a long, long time - I think the colours of them were just perfect for this card, the same for the ribbons and pearls.
On the paperedges I’ve used DistressInk Walnut Stain.


I’m so sorry for the colours in the next two pictures. I really don’t know what happened, it’s the same papers as on the frontside, the same camera- and lightsettings, but the colours turned out totally different - guess I’ll have to blame the photographer (me)…
I hope you’ll see that I very much used the same layout on the inside and the back as I did on the front


I hope you’ll join in on the
Gingham/ Plaid/ Checks-Challenge

Leaves @ Storyteller

Good Sunday Morning All Crafters
We´ve had snow during the night! Not much, just a thin, thin layer, but it is sooo beautiful! 

I´m here to show you my DT-card for the new challenge over at
Storyteller
For the next fortnight the theme is
Blader 
(Leaves)

This might be the first time I make a card without using an image, stamped or printed.
I wanted the text to be the focalpoint on the card
(not quite sure I managed it completely with all the leaves around…)
The DP is from Laura Ashley
Flowers are from Kort & Godt
The leaves are made with a die from Spellbinders Foliage set
I’m not sure who’s the producer of the dies I stamped the text upon, but if you know, I hope you’ll let me know)
Textstamps and pearls are from Storyteller.
All paperedges are inked with DistressInk OldPaper and WalnutStain.


Inside I made a little pocket to put a little chocolate into
(after taking the pictures I put a panel onto the right side of the inside, using the same die as on front (the biggest)

The back and front of the card:
(I have to cover all sides of a card to feel it’s complete…)

Enjoy Life - Eat Chocolate 😊

I´ll enter my Leaves-card into these challenges:
