1 Corinthians - Love is ...

I was waiting for a reason to make a card for a wedding solely to use this stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs. Here what I came up with:


I was in a hurry to get this off, so I forgot to photograph my card until after I had already written in it and placed it on the package. Oh well, you can still see, so bear with me.


These are the supplies I've used:

Paper: Bazzill cardstock



Stamps: 1 Corinthians from Our Daily Bread Designs on the front, Corinthians 13:13 by Stampendous inside. Both stamped with Tsukineko Versafine "Onyx Black ink. The small stamps I've heat embossed inside, I sadly don't remember where came from.



Dies:
Spellbinders Curved Rectangles

Punches: Martha Stewart Doily Lace Edge Punch.



Embossing folders: Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls

Embellishments:
Flowers from Kort & Godt.


As always, I've found some challenges I'd like to enter:
My Time to Craft Challenge: "L is for ...." (as you probably already figured out, I chose love)
Polkadoodles: Whiteout (make a white card with only a tiny bit of color)
Stamptacular Sunday challenge: "Just Sayin.." (Sentiment/words on the front).
Creative Craft World: "New" (in my case: New Life together)
Freshly Brewed challenges: Use something new (my glitter glue from a local store is new, this is the first time I try it.)
If the Shoe Fits, Scrap it: "Bejewled Blue" (Inspired by Sapphires). What I thought is that sapphires stand out - like the blue on my card.
Ooh La La Creations Challenges: Punches/dies.


Thanks for stopping by!

Den Fyrste Song - a Baptism Card




This following card I've made for my nephew's baptism. I had been really looking forward to using this stamp from Kort&Godt - It's a Norwegian childrens song I'm really fond of. So this is what I ended up with:





The text "Til dåpsbarnet Håvard" was just printed from my computer. I really like how this card turned out, It's very babyish, I really like the blue and all the flowers. I'm also really happy about the dress. I guess this is the only time you can put a dress on a card to a boy. I'm sure I'll get to use this folding technique again sometime on a wedding card. I learned how to do it on youtube, and you can do so to by clicking this link: How to make a Pretty Dress - Origami.


These are the supplies I've used on this card:


Paper: Bazill cardstock.


Stamps: On the front I used M-107 Den Fyrste Song by Kort&Godt, and I stamped it with Tsukineko Memoto "Rich Cocoa". I also did some distressing on the front with "Ranger Tumbled Glass" Distress ink. On the inside I did some heat embossing, and the stamps I used was HCPC 2254 Leafy Swirls Precut Set by Heartfelt Creations and Cherub Tree Trio by Stampendous. To heat emboss I stamped with Ranger distress Embossing Ink, added Bridal Embossing Powder and heated it up with my heatgun.

Dies: Ribbon Tags Trio Two by Spellbinders


Punches: Martha Stewart Doily Lace Edge Punch.

Embossing folders: Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls

Embellishments:
Flowers from Kort&Godt.

 I like playing along in challenges, so I'm adding this card to the following:
Kort & Godt: Use die cuts. Not many dies here, but at least one managed to sneak in.
Shopping Our Stash: No coloring allowed (don't color an image)
Wags 'n Whiskers: Lace (I used a MS Lace punch)
Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog: Anything Goes
Card Makin' Mamas Challenge Blog: Get punchy
Polkadoodles: Distress It
One Stitch at a Time Challenge: Punch It
The Corrosive Challenge Blog: Punches and/or Dies
Fussy and Fancy Challenge: Try a new technique (this is the first time I'm doing origami)



I think that will be it for now. I will be back soon with more to show.




The Lord is my Shepherd

I came across a tutorial for a post-it easel card at StampARTic, and I really wanted to try and make one myself. I had been planning a "Psalm 23" project for a while, and for this card I pull out my stamps and started creating.


It took some time to make it, but I liked the result.




These are the supplies I've used:

Paper: The card base is made of Bazzill Bling paper. I've used 3 different patterned papers: Kort & Godt "Fryd Oliven", Fancy Pants "Wishful Thinking Corsage" and Melissa Frances "Eleanor".

Stamps: "Psalm 23" from Our Daily Bread Designs stamped with Tsukineko Memento "Bamboo Leaves" Ink, and I used "Peeled Paint" Distress Ink from Ranger to distress around the paper. "Hold them Dear" and "Lamb" by Heartfelt Creations on the front, stamped with Tsukineko "Versafine Onyx Black" and colored them with Letraset Promarkers. I did some distressing with "Fired Brick" Distress ink from Ranger. For the inside I made a background by using the following Ranger reinkers: "Shabby Shutter", "Peeled Paint", "Crushed Olive" and "Forest Moss". I then stamped HCPC 3324 Daisy Patch Swirls PreCut Set from Heartfelt Creations on the background with Ranger Distress Embossing Ink. I added Bridal Embossing Powder and heated it up with my heatgun.

Dies: Curved Rectangles, Labels Three and Classic Ovals LG by Spellbinders.

Embellishments: Basic Grey "Bling it!" rhinestones and "Swish" half pearl embellishments. Flowers from Kort&Godt.


This is how it looks laying down:
On the inside there's room for a little note.

I'm adding this card to the following challenges:
Sew Many Challenges: Ovals.
Stamps&Fun=Creativity: Use shapes and/or diecuts.
Stampin' for the Weekend: "What  a Cutie"
Simon Says Stamps Challenge: Dies to Die for
Creatalicious Challenges: Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly Challenge: Creature comforts


Thanks for looking!

Friends are the flowers in the Garden of Life

Hey, I’m back! I’ve had some time off from school the past 2 days and I’ve outdone myself with creativity. So now I have a few cards to show off. I feel such a development with my card making, the first cards I made are so different from the ones I make now (and I’m thankful for that).

I decided to play along in the Paper Players Challenge this week, which is a sketch.
I’m also participating in Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge – FTTC102, where you’re to add some kind of hardware to your card/project. I really like my metal flower!
