EDWIN NUTCRACKER SOLDIER AGAIN :)

I am so lucky to have the chance to work with a lot of wonderful, new stuff all the time!

Today I would love to show you what I have done with the papers KREATIV SCRAPPING sent me a while back. This is the fantastic Good Ol Sport collection from Graphic 45. Amazing papers!! I loooove Graphic 45 even if they are very rich in colour and I am more cream..hehe. They are fab for all those male cards people struggle with. I don't struggle with them because I use my flowers there too :)

Hope you like my card!

It is for my sweet cousins son, Eirik who had his confirmation last weekend.

Congratulation

A paper bag card again with a different closing. Magnet hidden under the paper, works perfect.

Great papers, don't you think?

And my image is the awsome Nutcracker Soldier Edwin from Magnolia's Little Circus Moscow collection

Coloured with Copic, like always and I hope you like my Confetti shadows! 

Normally I never do this, but here it was perfect I think

Here is the flap up and you can see the whole image

I have use some small confirmasjontexts from Norsk Stempelblad and they are PERFECT!

Some Confetti shadowing around the image to create some depth.

I have used the colours from the image to create them, it is important that you use some of the same tones so you don't ruin the effect.

Flowers from WOC and Kort &Godt

Doily made with a Cheery Lynn die and it is called French Pastry Doily

Date is stamped with THIS smart little Any Tangerine stamp

Mine Copic:

Skin: E21-51-50-93

Jacket: E43-41-40

Pants: E55-53-51-50

Green details: B99, BG 78-75-72

Thanks for vsiting me today. Always great to know you have been here!

This is the papers:

And I used this 6x6 paper pad for my card

GRAPHIC 45 - GOOD OL' SPORT - 4500864 - PAPER PAD 6x6

Have a great day all

Edwin Nutcracker Soldier ♥

Hi my friends, old and new ♥

This project is made for the bloghop for Dutch Doobadoo.

If you want to participate in the hop (you really should as their products are fantastic) you should have a look at my other blog HERE

Today we are showcasing a special product, the small envelope stencil Dutch Envelope Art 470.713.002

I must say I love all the DD stencils, and especially the envelope ones. 

You will find this one and the other wonderful ones at Kreativ Scrapping

Every time I use one of them I feel I'm creating something really special. And today I have really, really made a special project ♥♥ LOL

Here we go ♥

Enjoy my picture heavy post...

Today's project is for my husband. 

He turned 40 last summer and I was so busy preparing for that, and to be honest I didn't think he cared so much about getting a card from me or not, so I made a mistake.. I didn't make him a card.

I promise, he cared... Every card I have made since that he have asked: Is that card for me?? lol

So today's project is for him. A little giftbox with the lovely Edwin Nutcracker Soldier (Little Circus Moscow 2013 collection) standing at the front with something for my darling hubby inside.

Gosh I love this wonderful stamp!

At the back I have used the smallest DD envelope as you see there are two sizes in the package.

Around it I have wrapped a doily made of a Cheery Lynn design die and a couple of Magnolia tags. Inside there is a note for hubby ♥

Front

I have merged together the two Magnolia stamps and colored them with Copics to go with the gorgeous Maja design paper from the latest Vintage Frost Basics collection.

The Congratulation text is also Magnolia, from the new Lost and Found collection 2014 and this was a part of the Stamp Club package. I love those packages, so many wonderful stamps and worth every penny!

You can purchase your own here, the next kit is Spring 2014 kit ♥

This is my inside.

6 envelopes with a small gift inside, one for each Sunday 6 weeks from now.

Just a small thing, to tell him that I care. 

He will love them! hehe

Just an example: 

Two movie tickets -and you are lucky to go with a hot chick (me)

All my envelopes.

I made three in craft from Joy!Craft and three white.

I wrapped around a doily and used two Magnolia tags and some string.

The idea I got from my amazing and wonderful friend Camilla. 

You really should have a look at her work as she makes the most fantastic things!

I hope you like what I made for you today

Until next time.... take care ♥

Hugs and love 

Jill

EDWIN WITH DERBYHAT

While I am waiting for my new Chrtistmas stamps to arrive, I have a new Edwin card to show you today. I just adore this new Edwin with Derbyhat from the Little London Collection 2013.

Again I have given him a mustache from the Afternoon Tea Rose Kit , he really look cool that way I think ;)

 

I have had a couple of dies that I haven't got around using yet, so today is the day for both my new Magnolia Doohickey, View Master (Special Moments 2013) and the Joy!Craft  Edge Butterflies border. Love them both!

 

Here is my card

I am really happy how this card turned out.

I hate making cards that I am not happy with, and this one was really fun to make and in my favorite colours, so I think that made the difference for me. I am really in a Christmas mood these days, so actually I am happy that I manage to make a card like this now. lol

I am playing Christmas music and just enjoys dragging out all my Christmas stamps again!

Oh, well enought about that ;)

My male cards are almost never without flowers. I like flowers and I like making cards with a lot of beautiful stuff, so I hope the reciever like it too ♥ 

The flowers comes from Kreativ Scrapping and WOC. The Bingo stamp is a Joy!Craft stamp that I bought a while back and just LOVE.

Glimt of the inside, showing a View Master and the wonderful Maja Design papers.

I have used both Vintage Summer Basics and Vintage Spring Basics.

 Love that butterfly die...

I have also tryed out a new carrogated cardstock from Joy!Craft that was fantastic. I have put white Dabber on it, like always ;) 

 

Coolest wine bottle charm EVER ;)

From KREATIV SCRAPPING. They have it in green, pink, red, brown and yellow.

Around the image I have used Distress Ink, Pumice Stone.

Image is coloured with Copics in these colours:

Skin: E21-51-50-93

Hair: E44-42-40

Suit and hat: W5-3-2-1-0

Blue: B93-23-21

 

That was all from me today.

I'll be back in a few days with another card.

Until next time...

Take care friends ♥

Hugs, Jill

DT MAGNOLIA, EDWIN WITH MUSTACHE ♥

Hi my lovlies ♥

I have been busy again, so I haven't posted so often. That dosn't mean I am not making anything, and today finally I have a new card to share.

I have been working my nightshifts this weekend and as soon as I can find a quiet moment I am colouring ♥ I was so lucky to find a few new and totally gorgeous image in my mailbox before the weekend, a gift from my lovely Magnolia ♥

Thank you Magnolia, I love them.

 

My son, Sebastian is turning 13on friday this week and I made a fun card for him with this new image called Edwin with Derbyhat. I also gave the lovely Edwin a big mustache from the new Afternoon Tea Rose Kit. Both stamps comes from the Little London Collection 2013.

 

I chose to make an envelopecard again, and I have used the new stensil from Dutch Doobadoo to create it. This stensil is being released tomorrow and you will find it at KREATIV SCRAPPING
And if you go to the Dutch Doobadoo blog you will have a chance to win one envelope stencil of your own

Ok, wanna take a look???

 

Here you can see the stensil I have used.

Super easy and FUN to make.

I have also used some leafs from Dutch Doobadoo

 

Hello there ;)

Since Sebastian is getting older (wow 13!! and a fantastic teenager) I have been kidding with him lately about his future mustache.

I even put the smaller one one the side and created some lines around the image and I have written a fun thing in Norwegian at the top.

I think he's gonna like it ♥

This is the back of the envelope and the tag I have inside.

I have used a Joy!Craft die, Twig nr. 1 on the tag together with some big numbers covered with Glossy Accent

I have used my Bingo stamps from Joy! Craft again and marked the date he was born.

Flowers from WoC and some metalcharms from my favorite shop KREATIV SCRAPPING

I have used some Halloween papers from My Minds Eye that I got from Kreativ Scrapping

Behind the flowers I have inked up a bit of cheesecloth and used some of the Joy!Craft die again.

Here he is Edwin with Derbyhat and mustache ♥

Coloured with Copic like always

Skin: E21-51-50-93

Hair: E44-42-41

Hat, shoes and jacket: E44-43-42-41-40
