Grattis med lappen

Ny dag og nye muligheter. Det er mange som kjører opp og tar lappen, og ad er det utrolig hyggelig med en liten gave for å markere det. Her er det pyntet en liten pappbil, som også kan fylles med en liten overraskelse. Denne bilen er laget for Hobbykunst.

Pappbilen er fra Rayher.

Hello Norway - A minialbum with the Time for Tea collection

Hello everyone, and Happy Easter. It is Kirsten here, showing a spring minialbum with the Time for Tea paper collection, photos from Norway and lots of dies. The LDRS dies are very versatile, and I wanted to give you some inspiration on how to use them in a minialbum.

The album

The flowers and the leaves on the front has been created using the Fancy flowers dies set. 

I also wanted to use one of the new dies as an embossing folder at the back of the album. This was done by using by cutting two Lovelette dies cuts, gluing them together, and using this as an embossing folder on white cardstock. This works perfectly as an embossing folder. The heart has been cut out with the heart from the same dies set.

At the oppsite side, I used the dragon fly embossing folder from the Timeless embossing folder set. 

The inside of the album

The album has five pages, decorated on both sides.

The first page is an introduction to the theme of the album, photos from Norway.

Hello, has been cut out from a photo of the mountains in Norway, using the Hello word die. I thought that using the die on a photo, would create a bit more impact.

The flower photo has been cut out with a circular die from the fancy circle die set. The fence and the dragon flies at the back is from the Allifair build a card die set. The flowers at the back, and the text stamps are from the Magnolia splendor stamp set. These stamps are fantastic to use as background stamps.

These pages are showing Norway during the winter time. We have a long and dark winter in Norway, but it can be very beautiful. 

This photo is showing snow flakes on my car window a winter morning. I have used a die from the Fancy circle die set to cut out the photo. The back snowflakes have been cut with the qute Snowy day border die. This die is fantastic for creating background patterns on those winter cards or layouts.

This squirrel came up on my window last winter. The photo has been cut using the Fancy circle die set and the tags has been cut with the tags from the Fancy Rectangles & Layers die set. The background swirl stamps are from the Magnolia splendor stamp set. 

These two pages have photos from Oslo, the capital in Norway.

This shows a photo from Frognerparken, a park full of fantastic sculptures in stone. The background text stamps are from the Magnolia splendor stamp set.  The dragon flies are from the Allifair build a card die set.

This photo is from the new Opera house in Oslo, a fantastic building in stone and glass, where you can walk on the roof. At the back, I have used a die cut from the Regal frame die set.

The next two pages have photos from Larvik.

The first image is the sunset towards Stavern. The image and the black frame of the photo has been created using one of the dies from the Regal die set. The tags has been created with the tag dies from the Fancy Rectangles & Layers die set. The background text stamps are from the Magnolia splendor stamp set.

These stairs are from Fritzøe Brygge in Larvik. Larvik town has lots of poems carved in stone, all over the town. The tow background dies has been created with one of the dies from the Regal die set. The tags has been created with the tag dies from the Fancy Rectangles & Layers die and cutting the diecuts out of a photo. The dragonfly are from the Allifair build a card die set, but this dragon flie has also been cut out of a photo.

Catching a dream

Today I am showing you a dream catcher, shown at Creativation for LDRS creative. The dreamcatcher has been created with the fantastic sweet Let love grow stamp set. The dream catcher was made using an embodery hoop.

I used the Cotton candy paper pack for this project.  I just adore this paper pack andd the pastel colours and sweet patterns.

I have used a lot of different LDRS dies on this project.  I used the Lovelette die to create pattern on the background paper and to create the hearts, added in layers under the motive. 

I used the sweet Super sprigs dies to create som foliage under the flowers. The leaves has been made using the leaves from the Fancy flowers die set. The roses has been made using the flowers from the same die set. 

The motive has been cut out using the sweet Fancy Rectangles & Layers. I think this die set is probeably my most used die set of all the dies I have got. I have also used die cuts from the Regal Die set to create some tags under the image. The word smile is one of LDRS's cretive word dies.  

Carousel Explosion box

The spring is on it's way here in Norway. Prima's new Amelia Rose collection is perfect for those spring projects. I just love this collection, and have several projects going with the papers. Today, I am showing a little carousel in an explosion box, shown in the Papercrafting earlier this month.

The box:

The box has been decorated wth diecuts Studio Light - Industrial 2.0 - Nr. 68 og 70 and text from TIm Holtz. The little heart is a glass heart, spraypainted in bronze. I have added half of an acrylic ornament over the heart.

The carousel: 

I have used a Silhouette to cut the parts for the carousel, as this is difficult these small parts by hand. The cutting file has been made after ideas from old carousels and toy carousels (not a bought file). 

I have added tags and Prima flowers.

The carousel is 8 cm in diameter. I have built it around a straw, so it will turn around. It's set on a small platform to fix the carousel to the box, and make it possible to turn it around. 

Wishing you a fantastic week

Minialbum with Kaisercraft's Wandering Ivy

Kaisercraft's wandering Ivy is fantastic and sweet, and it's super for sweet cards, layouts or minialbums. The collection has green and blue colours in fantastic flower patterns. 

This mini album has been created in the same way as the minialbum in this blogpost..

You can get the collection in individual sheets or the whole collection. I have also used April Calendar from Bo Bunny, with sweet motives on one side, and fantastic wooden pattern on the other side. The tags in the front are madde with LDRS creative's Fancy Rectangles & Layers Die Set. The little dragonfly has been made with a die from the Allifair Build-A-Card dies set.

I have calculated 1 cm between each page. The album has four pages, and it's 5 cm thick. Inside all the pages, there is a tag, created with LDRS creative Fancy Rectangles & Layers Die Set. This is one of my most used dies, so if you are going to invest in a set of dies, I would recomend this one.
