Use a Tag @ My Besties International


Good Morning, Friends.
I'm really sorry I'm a day lat with my DT post for the new challenge at My Besties International.
Sometimes familymatters just have to come first...
But, anyway, here's my posting with my project for the new challenge over at

and as always there are wonderful prizes

The theme for this challenge is
So make a tag, or use a tag on a card or whatever you’re project 

For this challenge I’ve made a little «Chocolate-Card-Gift-Tag». 
I have made several Chocolate Cards over the years, after the tutorial from Marianne at Mariannes Papirverden. Her tutorial is for the 100g chocolates. I’ve also made some for the bigger chocolates (200g). Whilst making some of the latest chocolate cards, I’ve been thinking that one could make for the smallest chocolatebars as well. 
So I sat down with paper, pencil, ruler and eraser, and started measuring the little chocolatebar. 
I'll put in a picture tutorial with the measurements for the little chocolatebar here in a few days.

I made the tag base out of kraft cardstock. DPs are from Majadesign. To decorate the tag I put together some spices and a little lace, and put a pink, little halfpearl in the corner.

Inside the "tag" there's place for the smallest sized milkchocolate bar. I stamped a little greeting inside. An organzaribbon i fastened underneath the DPs, to close the tag.

On the back "To - From" is stamped on. Here you also can see the eyelet where I put the twine through:

Distressing @ My Besties Norge


Hi again, dear friends.
Today there’s a new challenge at
My Besties Norge
This time with the theme
I have made a little Tag-/ Gift-/ Pocketcard for this challenge.
I’ve used a papaerpocket from Søstrene Grene, DPs from MajaDesign.
The dies are Magnolia DooHickeys.
I’ve also used some lace, twine, seambindingribbon, halfpearls, cheesecloth, a button and two little bells.
-And of course all paperedges are inked and teared and inked again.
The imagepanel is sewn to the backingpanel.
I «highlighted» some spots on the snowman with a little Glitterstickles.

The tag inside the pocket has place for a giftcard…

…on the other side it has a little christmasgreeting

The back of the pocket has stamped «to - from»:

I have made a Boys card for this challenge. The image is from Sherri Baldy, a little boy with a little number on his T-Shirt. Isn’t he just a cutie!
Around the image I used some Frantage Shabby Blue.
The DPs are from Papirdesign.
Most paper- and cardstock edges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain and OldPaper.
I think it's rather difficult to decorate boys cards. On this one I just used some die cut stars, a ribbon, some halfpeearls and a "flag" made with a paperstraw, cardstock and pieces of the DP.
The opening edge on the front is cut with a borderpunch from Martha Stewart.
You can find the colourlist further down in the post.

I made the tag behind the image wth a Magnolia DooHickey die. I also used Martha Stewarts Aspen Snowflake borderpunch on the card.

Sweet Treats @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

Hello and god morning
It’s a windy, rainy day at Røst, a real autumn day - and having the day off from work, I’ll make it a perfect day. Baking, scrapping  - and a little homework when the kids come home from school…

My share today is the DT-card for the new challenge over at
this weeks challenge has the theme
Sweet Treats
I hope you’ll join us
-I love to visit blogs to see how other interpret the theme.

For this challenge we have 2 sponsors:

I have tried to make a card with all the sweet things I could find; a cupcake-cutie from Sherri Baldy, cute cupcakepaper from Papirdesign, the cupcakeprinted ribbon I’ve had for a long, long time and the  cupcakeborder punch I’ve had for almost as long as the ribbon…
I’ve also used some cheesecloth, little rhinestones, Frantage Shabby White and dies from Spellbinders, Marianne design and Kaboks (the text on the inside).
The image is coloured with ProMarkers.
