DISTRESS INK AND A NEW MAGNOLIA STAMP

Good morning my lovely friends

I just have to show you one of the card I made when I was in Ski with Trine last weekend, together with a lot of other crafty chicks. 100 creative women under one roof for the whole weekend stamping, cutting, colouring and just having a great time. I loved every single minute of it ♥

 

One of my lovely friends Gro showed me how to colour with Distress Markers.

I have always wanted to learn to colour like this (well not like I do now, but hopefully it will be better! lol) and I am quite happy with the result even if I am a newbie ♥

It is totally different from my Copics, but I am in love with it! The soft feeling of the colours is so beautiful.

Even if I am not so perfectly good at it yet, I want to show you the card I made with my first image coloured with these markers. I have chosen the amazing A Joyful Tilda and A Joyful Piglet from this years Winter Wonderland collection from Magnolia

 

Hope you like it ♥

Paired with some amazing Pion papers from last years collection and some corrugated cardstock.

In front of the image I have cut out the amazing Tim Holtz On the edge Die called Tree Line. I think this one is one of the most beautiful dies ever. I have covered it with an old book sheet that my sweet mother bought for me at a local bookshop. I glued it with Glue'n'seal from Ranger and let dry, sent it through my new Big Shot and decorated it with Arleene's Glittersnow and fine glitter. Looks fantastic if I should say it myself! ;)

 

Maybe you can see the trees better here. I glued them like this to get the 3D effect.

All flowers from Kort og Godt and WOC. I managed to grab 3 boxes of Kort og Godt berries this weekend too. They are sold out everywhere, so I was superhappy to find them again!

The lovely Belive Charm comes from Kreativ Scrapping and I put on a little bird Trine and I made in paperclay one evening she was visiting me.

All my text stamps comes from Kort og Godt. Love that company ♥

Cutest little piglet ever ♥

I am so sorry I can't tell you what colours I have used, but I will try to write them down next time!

I can't wait to colour some more with these Distress Markers. I just had to place an order at my favorite shop Kreativ Scrapping when I got home and I now have my own set..

 

Sooo much fun I can tell you ♥

The stamps are soon out in the shop, I guess you are waiting for them. The link under goes to the Magnolia map in the shop, but as soon as they are in house you will find them there.

Magnolia always makes the most wonderful Christmas stamps and this year they are totally fantastic all of them. Cant believe how Pauline manage to do it every time♥♥♥

 

Take care my friends.

hugs

MEETING SOME OLD FRIENDS and some new ♥

Because of my crafting I have had the chance to meet some fantastic people.

I like to belive that crafters are far more nice than other people, and every day I read comments from crafters, I got mails asking questions about what to do, how to colour etc. and it makes me so happy.

I love this community ♥

 

I have because of this made some amazing friends, not only from Norway, but from all around the world. Some of them I have had the chance to meet, some of them I will probably never meet because we live so far from eachother.

 

One of my friends happens to be a fantastic artist, buisness woman, photographer and a really sweet lady. She lives at the other side of the world (almost...) and she has this wonderful company called Teddy Bo&Co.

I love my Teddy Bo images, I have used them alot and  I was so lucky to stay on the DT for one year and what a team! It felt like these girls were a part of my family♥♥

Thank you Gayle Cook for showing me the world of Teddy Bo.

 

Teddy Bo &Co is now back again online and this time they have brought some new friends for us to play with. You will find all the digi images HERE

 

 

I was given the chance to play with one of these gorgeous images and I chose Oli, the cute boy elephant and I made a Christmas card and decorated a matchbox with him♥

Here is my card:

Isn't this Oli image cute?

 

Like always I have coloured him with Copic and inked around him with DI Frayed Burlap.

Some Frantage Shabby White around.

And my Joy!Craft snowflake edge die... love ♥♥

I have used my wonderful Pion design papers and some letters from

Maja design. The numbers and letters are covered with Crackle Accent.

The beautiful metal comes from Kreativ Scrapping

 

Like always muted colours and a lot shabby white

Love things like this for Christmas ♥

And I can't make anything withour my Dutch Dobadoo products.

I have used the trees and the lamppost and I have used some of the snowflakes too at the back.

Back of my card and the machbox.

Inside with a lovely poem from NSS 

 

This one is perfect to give away to a friend, a school teacher or a coworker, together with some scented candles maybe?

Back of the box.

Have a beutiful afternoon ♥

DT MAGNOLIA-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, but 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.

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
