Envelope for a card, gift certificate or a sweet note - tutorial

 If you want your gift or card to be noticed at the gift table - then this super easy tutorial is your answer:-)

Grab an envelope - any size but suitable for your purpose and of course able to fit the Corrugater... Glue the flap.

Cut a piece of the side - my envelope is 21 cm by 15 cm / 7,5 inch by 5,5 inch. The part I cut off was 6 cm or 2 inch. If you choose a different size reduce or increase accordingly.

 Choose two or three stamps you want to decorate the large part of the envelope. The below is how I made it, be creative and play with it...

After stamping give the envelope a corrugated look by running the two part in various directions through this device.

Decorate the top with an embellishment of your choice..

Have fun and Happy Stamping :-)

Altered dominos..

Ever since I first saw an altered domino, I looked high and low to find some. Checking out the Danish alternative to Craig's list - DBA - I found some antique and very old, but at a price of DKK 1.500 equal to USD 300, so that was not an option. I had about given up when I saw a box of dominos for DKK 20 (USD 3.50).... Yay, now I could try to alter some myself.

Painted the dominos with Gesso followed by Distress Stains brass and copper. Then to choose what images to decorate with, it had to be tiny pattern and Prima's Fairy Rymes came to mind.... what could be more perfect than tiny faries:-). After I glued the images to the dominos I covered the images with Glossy Accent that gives that wonderful look. The first one - the one in the middle - came out perfect. The two others did cause a problem with bubbles that was very difficult to get out... missed a few... but you don't see it and they are sooooo cute..

Still pictures of my entry to the challenge and how I created it..

My reason for participating was to challenge my self in a forum with many and very experienced createurs. To prove that I could do it and with an end result that was beautiful.

I altered a cloths pin. Painted it with Gesso. I then mixed some white acrylic paint with a few drops of Rangers re-inker Tattered Rose which was dapped lightly on the cloths pin.

For decoration I used my absolute favorite paperline A Ladies Diary from Graphic 45. I fussycut an image of a lady with an umbrella.

As the required three laces I used two laces from my stash and a beautiful vintage doily I found at a garage sale.

Other embellishment: Prima wood embellishment (typewriters and clocks), roses from Scrapbookfun, Maya Road and homemade rose.

My entry to my first YouTube challenge....

It was so fun creating it... and it is really cute...

A mini album for a friend....

One of my very best friends hosted an open house for my son before he left to serve a two year mission for the mormon church.

I asked what I could give her as a "thank you" for her generosity. An album for her to put pictures of her, her husband and their four kids. It had to be black, white and pink.... I was quite satisfied myself :-).... and luckily she loved it...

Sprogændring - change of language

It seems that I have a lot of visitors from abroad and since Danes are so amazing in speaking and reading English I'm changing the language I use on my blog into English... making my posts understandable to the majority.

Nye projekter på vej...

Sjovt som jeg nu skanner alt (eller næsten) når jeg handler. Ser et potentiale i det meste med det formål at kunne få noget sødt, spændende og anderledes ud af det.
Som det kan ses af tidspunktet af dette indlæg, så er det lidt sent:-). Mine billeder af mine seneste kreationer vil derfor først komme på i løbet af formiddagen i morgen.... Glæder mig vildt til at lægge dem på bloggen....

En dejlig work-weekend med scrapping...

Det har været en produktiv weekend:-). En del projekter er påbegyndt, men endnu ikke fået det sidste touch.....
Er lidt i vildrede. Har taget en Challenge på YouTube... Scrapjomfru som jeg er, men jeg ville bare super gerne..... Så nogle af de allerede indleverede projekter og blev straks rædselsslagen, for de er vildt flotte.....men stoppede op og sagde til mig selv, at hvis jeg ikke tager en udfordring op, så bliver jeg jo ikke bedre;-). 
Synes selv at jeg har udviklet mig meget fra jeg begyndte i Januar, så jeg gik i gang her til aften. Når jeg er færdig, skal jeg lave en video, hvor jeg viser mit deltagerprojekt og så skal det sendes afsted til USA - The Mother land of Scrapbooking....!
Glæder mig....

Smuk ramme / Altered frame

Manglede en dejlig ramme til mit yndlingsbillede af min dejlige afdøde mor og mine skønne sønner. Så den blev malet med noget hjemmeblandet Gesso (dejlig billig udgave), påført noget textur og til sidst dabbet med noget kobber og grønt akryl maling. Det er mit første forsøg og jeg er meget tilfreds:-)
