Good luck card

Posted on 15 February, 201913 February, 2019 by Liz

It’s the middle of the month and that means it’s time for a new challenge at Copic Marker Norge. As usual, this year, the theme is anything goes, but this time the DT has been challenged to make the background with Copics. I decided on a simple sky and brick wall. The two animals stamps are by MFT Stamps and the sentiment is by Huldra Designstudio.

Copics used: (background) N0, N1, N3, B00, B12, (elephant) V91, V93, V95, C0, C1, C3, C7, (hippo) W0, W1, W3, W5, RV52, RV55, RV66, B32, B34, B37, G03, G07, G28

Elephant magic

Posted on 12 November, 201417 November, 2014 by Liz

I made a Christmas card this morning and thought I’d, once again, get it added straight away. I have used a pre-coloured topper by Wild Rose Studio this time. I jazzed it up with putting glitter on top of the swirly magic, as well as adding some silver liquid pearls for an added snow effect. The flowers, purple ribbon and bows as well as the big purple pearls are all from Wild Orchid Crafts. The dark purple paper is from Kaboks, and the light purple paper used for the dies is by Lili of the Valley. The ribbon and pearly lace strip is from a local shop. I have used various dies from Noor! design for the snowflake border and two stand alone snowflakes. They are such pretty dies!

I have decided to enter this is the design team call at Noor! design, so this bit here will be for that purpose. I am Liz and thirty-something living in Norway and I’ve been crafting since summer 2011, mostly making cards. When it comes to crafting, I mostly use my blog, but also I belong to various Facebook crafting groups and use instagram occasionally, though mostly for scenery photos I admit! Although I am on Twitter, I don’t use it very much. I have previous been on the DT team for a challenge blog, and for The Hobby House. Normally I don’t really try to apply for any design teams, but this one just felt right to apply for. One of the reasons is that I have been very pleased with swift and wonderful service provided by Noor! design, and the other is obviously that I love their designs. I mean, who wouldn’t?! I will be using these dies all the time and would love to show my work to fellow Noor! design fans. As I am not on any other DTs I would have the time required to dedicate to this one. I use both pre-coloured images and stamps I colour myself for my cards.

Here is a close up of the Noor! design dies I used on this card:

I have used the following Noor! design products: Ice Crystal no.1, Ice Crystal no. 3 and Ice Crystal border.

Here is my first project as a member of Paper Playtime‘s design team. For our challenge this week, we have the theme “anything goes”.

I made this card using paper from Pion (the back of a fancy one), a paper pad I’ve had for years and I cannot remember where the one with the hearts are from as I used bits I had left over from last year. The reason that the background looks a bit bright is that the paper is shimmering so got caught in the light, and it is the same paper I have used the back of for the deep red lines and leaves which also look dull. Their colour is more similar to the colour of the bow, that’s how far off it is! Anyway, enough rambling. The elephant is a pre coloured image from Lili of the Valley and the sentiment stamp is also from there. All flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

This card has been entered into the following challenges:

Totally Papercrafts – Love is in the air
Divas by Design – Anything goes
Simon Says Stamp – Anything goes (second entry)
Cute Card Thursday – Something Old

It is still cold out here, which makes for a perfect excuse to sit in doors and make cards and other bits and pieces! This card has been made with QuicKutz dies, leaves made with a Martha Stewart puncher, a stamp from Wild Rose Studio coloured in with Copics, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and a ribbon cut from a hangy strap on a top, heh.

Elephant love

Posted on 18 May, 201218 May, 2012 by Liz

A couple of months ago, after I had shown a friend one of the new stamps I was looking at purchasing, he asked if I could make a card for him to give away. As always I felt up for the challenge, so I asked what sort of things he wanted on it. The unusual request included elephant, dragon and pink. Slightly puzzled at how I would pull this one I went to work making this card.
