Konfirmasjonskort

Posted on by Liz

It is ‘confirmation’ season in Norway, so I have had a few requests for cards for this event. This year it has been an even tie between girl and boy cards I have made, but this is the only girl card with my own colouring. I used this lovely image by CCK called so long yesterday, and coloured it in with copics.

I have used Magnolia paper, flowers and lace from Wild Orchid Crafts, ribbon from Live and Love Crafts, candy from Craftwork cards (as well as the card blank), and punches by Martha Stewart which I added row of pearls to.

This card was made on request a couple of months ago or so. It was to be reasonably plain with little froo froo, but I was allowed to go butterfly crazy (yey!). The flowers and pearl are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the pre-coloured image by Lili of the Valley, the ribbon by The Hobby House and butterflies made from Noor Design dies.

Oh! Christmas has been and gone, and so has the new years celebrations as well. I hope you all had a good, peaceful and creative couple of weeks, with of course far too much food and surrounded by family and friends. I guess I should get all my Christmas cards posted here. At this rate it will be summer before I know it.. heh.

This card is made with an adorable prec-coloured topper by Wild Rose Studio, leaves and snowflakes by Martha Stewart, lace, big pearl and flowers by Wild Orchid Crafts, some rhinestones, frantage for snow and distress ink.

The blue vase

Mid September already… Wasn’t it just Christmas? I can barely keep up anymore! I guess I should try to get cracking this weekend making some Christmas cards. That is, if I can find the time in between the 5 other cards I have to get done. Either way I am glad to spend some time making more cards. I haven’t had time to do anything the past month! I haven’t even had time to start on the colouring classes I purchased a month ago. Thankfully it looks like October will be a bit more predictable with a little less plans on the menu.

Anyway. Card! As you can see, this is another simple one. I have once again used a pre-coloured topper by Lili of the Valley. The ribbon is by Wild Orchid Crafts and the pearls I have had for a few years so I simply no longer remember!

Have a great weekend!

My boyfriend’s mom’s birthday was coming up and he really liked a card I had made just a few days beforehand. You can see it on the right here. So I used that as inspiration and ended up getting a tad carried away with butterflies. I have made butterflies from a Tim Holtz die (the ones on top), stand alone butterflies from a Martha Stewart puncher and embedded butterflies on the side. The tiny butterflies that got cut out with the third die were also put on here and there around the card: some of them even on the flowers.

The main image is a pre-coloured one from Lili of the Valley.  I used a doily from Wild Orchid Crafts and put it mostly behind the image to break up the green a bit.  The two different patterned purple papers are by Papermania, whereas the green one is by First Edition Paper. I have used ribbon from a local shop and from Wild Orchid Crafts. The flowers are also all from WOC. Lastly I used a Martha Stewart puncher for the leaves and an alphabet set to create two of each letter (one green and one purple) to make them stand out more.
