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!

Pink Butterflies

I have another card to show, and this time I have used a sketch in order to participate in Stampin Royality Challenge 56. I hope it’s ok that I turned the square.




I love butterflies, so I’m happy about how the card turned out.
I’m adding this card to Crafty Creations Challenges - Let's heat it up, since my card has warm colors and I also heat embossed all of the butterflies.

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!

These are the supplies I used:

Paper: Prima Jack n’ Jill Collection “Summer Meadow”, Kort & Godt “Fryd Oliven”, Bazill Bling

Stamps: AmyR Stamps Friends Sentiments from All That Scraps.

Dies: Spellbinders Lacey Circles Nestabilities, Spellbinders Fancy Tags One

Embellishments: Flowers from Kort & Godt, metal flower from Panduro Hobby. Ribbon, pearls.

Merry Christmas

I’m sorry I’ve been absent this December, but I’ve prioritated to bake Christmas cookies for my family over card making. I hope I have time to make a strong return next year. I’ve left all my equipment at my apartment, and right now I’m with my family enjoying the 22 types of cookies and taking in the season. It’s a white Christmas in Norway this year, and the scene is beautiful.

I wanna wish a merry Christmas and a happy New Year to those who happens to stop by!
See you next year!

Love Kaia!
