Last Minute Inspiration

As the title suggests I have a little last minute inspiration for you, although I fully expect you to have created and sent out all your cards by now... but maybe not 😄

I used Kaisercraft papers for my cards here. Some uses our Mint Wishes kit (see the entire Mint Wishes collection), I will include a couple of pictures of the layouts you can also create with the kit.

For the first lot of cards I used a mixture of Christmas Editions and Letters to Santa. I love the splashes of red from Letters to Santa against the monochromes of Christmas Editions:

The papers on these two cards are from the Christmas Editions pad, with the die-cuts from theLetters to Santa Collectable pack.  I placed Father Christmas on foam tape for a three dimensional effect and added a little Glossy accents here and there.

The next two are again using papers from Christmas Editions pad and die-cuts from Letters to Santa.

 Also used are Kaisercraft's wood flourishes, red paper bows and pearls.

The next few cards uses papers from the Letters to Santa pad, as well as the collectables and wooden flourishes with lace ribbon. To achieve a vintage effect I distressed the edges on all of these shaped cards by sanding them down:

 

Finally here are cards created with Mint Wishes from Kaisercraft. These are all made with our November kit. You can see how to create these HERE.

The two layouts from our Mint Wishes kit:

Again you can see instructions on how to make these HERE.

Happy Crafting!

We Wish You a Wonderful Christmas, and a Very Happy New Year ♥♥♥

Christmas Inspiration

A litle christmas inspiration

Hello girls

I had to make a project for Copic Marker Norge as one of their DT. We have a advent calendar on the blog.

I wanted to make a card using Lou`s template for a stall card, love that template for making small scenes.

I also wanted to use one of my all time favorite digis from Lou, this christmas pixie is stunning and I have used her several times.

I live in North Norway and we have "mørketid" here now. The sun is gone for about two months,so it is quite dark here. So I needed to make something that kind of gave light.... 

I had a vision of a winter scene in white and differnt shades of blue.

No more said, here is a couple of images of my card. Hope you like it.

I`ve been using different Marianne dies and a couple others, some stuff from my stash and so on. I had a blast making this card and it is easy to make, even tough it seem difficult. 

Just follow Lou`s class HERE

So I hope you enjoy these last days towards christmas.
