Christmas Lights

Hi again. I just bought this stamp and I've been looking so much forward to using it on my Christmas cards. Whiff of Joy stamps are always beautiful, but this instantly became a favorite of mine:

 

I wanted to combine the Whiff of Joy stamp with a stamp from North Star Stamps that I bought to go with it. Obviously you internationals don't understand the meaning, but it's the lyrics to a Norwegian Christmas carol which in a loose translation would go like "And we light our candles as it darkens, and as all sounds are wrapped in wadding, yes we light our candles as it darkens, perhaps they'll shine until the evening says good night."

For this card I've used these supplies:

Paper: The card base is bazill bling. I've used the following patterned papers: Graphic 45 "Christmas Past collection - Let it Snow" and K & Company "Handmade Scripty".




Stamps: Whiff of Joy Willow with Christmascandle stamped with Tsukineko Versafine "Onyx Black" and colored with promarkers and Northstar Stamps Og vi tenner våre lykter  stamped with Tsukineko Memento "Rich Cocoa" are shown on the front. On the inside I've stamped "Rund God Jul liten", "Den beste tiden er juletiden" og "God Jul (gammel)" from Kreativ Hobby, and I've used Large Poinsetta Candle from Heartfelt Creation. I've heat embossed all the images on the inside using Ranger Embossing Ink pad and Ranger Super fine details gold embossing powder.

Dies: Spellbinders Deckled Mega Rectangles.

embellishments: Store Gardeniablomster from Papirloftet in the color Coco.

 I'm entering the card to these challenges:
My Time to Craft Challenge: L is for (in my case light).
Freshly Brewed challenges: Use something new (All the stamps except the poinsetta candle are new).
Simon Says Stamps: Use dies and/or punches
The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop: Monochromatic card

Christmas approaching

Well, I know it's still almost 3 months until Christmas, but that time goes fast and I need to get started with my Christmas cards. Here's this years first:

 

These are the supplies I've used:

Paper: Bazzill Cardstock, Papirdesign "Hjertegod", Papirdesign "Julebukk", Graphic 45 "The Holly and the Ivy" and Panduro "Vintage Christmas - Faithful".

Stamps: The church is  from the set " Worship the Lord" by Our Daily Bread Designs. It was stamped with Tsukineko Versafine "Onyx black" and colored with promarkers. I've also added some white Flowersoft. Around the edges I've distressed with Ranger "Vintage Photo" distress ink. The little round stamp is called "Rund God Jul liten and is from Kreativ Hobby, and I've used another stamp from Kreativ Hobby on the inside called  "God Jul (gammel). Both were stamped with Tsukineko memento "Rich Cocoa". I've also stamped some Christmas carols from the set Julesanger by North Star Stamps, as well Heartfelt Creations' Elegant Corner. I stamped these with Ranger distress Embossing Ink, added some Ranger "Super fine detail -Gold" embossing powder and heated them up with my heatgun. 

Dies: Spellbinders Standard Circles LG, Spellbinders Labels One

 This is how it turned out on the inside.

A birthday card

It was just my aunts birthday, so I wanted to make her a card and this is what I came up with. I got the idea for this card from the user Beate on the Splitcoast Stampers webside. Although my card and hers is slightly different, I guess you can say I "CASEd" her card, so click here to see her original.

Supplies used:

Paper: Bazill cardstock

Stamps: HCPC 3324 Daisy Patch Swirls PreCut Set from Heartfelt Creations and  "Gratulerer Drodle" from Kreativ Hobby on the front. The Daisy Patch Swirls stamp was stamped with Tsukineko Memento "Rich Cocoa" ink and colored with promarkers. The sentiment was stamped with Ranger distress Embossing Ink, and I then added  Stampendous "Jeweled Gold" embossing powder and heated it up. On the inside you see "Amy R Butterflies" from All That Scraps (Discontinued) and "Tea Rose Background" from Flourishes (discontinued). The butterflies were also stamped with "Rich Cocoa", and the Tee Rose Background was heat embossed like the sentiment on the front. Sadly I don't remember where I got the little bugs and the sentiment stamped on the inside. I also added some distressing to the card with Ranger "Vintage Photo" distress ink. I also used Inka Gold "Cobalt Blue".

Dies: Spellbinders Nested Hearts

Punches: Martha Stewart Double Loops Punch Around the Page Set

Embellishments: Flowers from Kort & Godt.

 

On the inside there's room for a little message:
