Last week I had a class at Unik Hobby, and we made a Christmas card with the new stamps from Stempelglede. They are gorgeous, and I just love them!  We made this "pocket-card",  that holds a CD disc.

I've used a waterbrush to add a tiny bit of color on the image, and I've also applied ink with a sponge around the edges. Finally I applied some Glimmer Mist on the image.

Inside the card I've made a pocket, decorated with flowers, lace and the beautiful text from the "Vintage Christmas" collection.

Paper: Ranger gloss Paper.
Patterned paper: Gudrun Loennecken - Vintage.
Stamps: Stempelglede - Vintage Christmas.
Ink: Archival Ink - Coffee, Distress Ink Refills (coloring the image)

DT Stempelglede

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
