Long time, no see... ♥

This feels a bit scary.... Actually, it feels like the first time I posted something on my blog in 2007... It's been a long time since I've posted something here, due to several things...

I'm so lucky to be a DT-member for Stempelglede, together with 10 talented ladies. ♥
Now, I'll show you a giftbox I've made, using dies from Go Kreate. I've used some of the gorgeous new stamps from the collections "Post Card from Paris" and "Follow your heart".

I've coloured the butterfly with Distress Ink, Pearlescent Chalk and then added some glitter.

I've used papers from Pion Design, and decorated the box with flowers, lace, ribbon, pearls and charms.

Inside the drawer, I've used this beautiful text... ♥

I hope you liked it...

Thank you so much for visiting my blog! ♥

I wish you a wonderful day!

Hugs, Kirsten ♥

Gaveeske til konfirmant...

Forrige helg holdt jeg kurs på treffet til  Scrapp med hjertet. Det var så utrolig koselig! Kursdeltakerne fikk lage denne gaveesken.
Tutorial på stjerneesken finner du på denne siden. Jeg har googlet litt også, og funnet en kjempefin video her.
Jeg fikk lyst til å lage min egen variant av denne stjerneesken, og lagde derfor en liten skuff oppå lokket. ;)

Til selve esken trenger du et passe tykt mønsterark. Jeg valgte å lage esken med et mønsterarket som er kuttet til 10" x 10".

Til lokket har jeg brukt Bazzill, som måler 10.5 cm x 10.5 cm. Jeg har brukt ScorPal og preget 2 cm fra kanten på alle sider.

Den lille skuffen oppå esken, passer perfekt til et lite smykke eller lignende. Jeg har også brukt Bazzill til selve skuffen. Denne biten måler 6.5 cm x 6.5 cm, og er preget 1.5 cm inn på alle kanter. Selve skuffen måler da 3.5 cm i diameter.

For å holde skuffen på plass, trenger du et panel som måler 8.9 cm x 6.8 cm
På langsidene er denne preget 1.5 cm fra begge kanter. På kortsidene preger du 3.5 cm fra hver side.

Her er alle delene. Klipp som vist på bildet.

Nå gjestår bare montering og pynting.

 Jeg har brukt halvperler til "føtter".

Lykke til! :)

Materialer:
Kartong: Bazzill
Mønsterark: Pion Design.
Stempler: Stempelglede - Til Konfirmanten
Dies: Squares Classic LG, Classic Scalloped Squares LG, Magnolia Heart Swirl
Pynt: Blomster, blonder og bånd, metall charms, halvperler.

Tusen takk til dere som var på kurset mitt, og til dere andre jeg traff i Tromsø.
Veldig hyggelig å treffe dere! ♥

Tusen takk for at du titter innom! Ha en riktig så fin påske! 

Klem fra Kirsten ♥

DT-project Unik Hobby

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.
