Flower tutorial and my first vintage canvas

A new video on YouTube with my vintage canvas along with a flower tutorial.

The flower is super easy to make. With very few items. You don't actually need to run the cardstock thru the Big Shot, you can just leave them plain, and the distress the petals into a darker color.... well, you try it out:-). Have fun and thanks for watching..

Thank you so much for stopping by....

I am so grateful for the interest to my blog.... And are truly stunned by the many visits from people all over the world.... Not to mention all my Danish visitors.... Thank you all so much!
As I'm just started please make sure to follow me by mail, cause I have so many things I'd love to share with you...:-)

Take care and be creative...

Super woman scrapper.....

scrapping 24/7...... I am not :-). I just simply took a dive into my box of half-done projects and pulled out some tags I've been playing with to get a beautiful color effect.

Sprayed 2-3 different color mists on my craft mat and rubbed the tag into it. Leaving it to dry and then stamped some butterfly images on.

I also embossed an image with clear embossing powder and then did the same. Gives an amazing result. The embossed image does not take color.  

These three tags are looking for a home - they are ready :-)

These three tags are not quite done missing some ribbon and then they are ready to leave home...

This tag or bookmark is absolutely beautiful in the colors. I used a Stampin'up stamp for the dress on the hanger and a Prima stamp for the roses.

Playing with the color mists or Distress Stains are so much fun. 

Vintage canvas with picture - a gift

DDdThis canvas is my first attempt and a gift for my sister. The picture is of our mum and dad on their wedding day April 5, 1952. 

I really had to hold back on the embellishment. My sister is perhaps a little into vintage, but NOT into shabby vintage which I am:-)

First I made two attempts to transfer the picture onto the canvas, but that did not turn out well. So I sewed the picture onto some cheese cloth. But first I glued some burlap onto the canvas and then glued the stitched photo onto that. Added a homemade fabric flower and a banner that says "Mum and dad, 5 April 1952" in Danish of course:-)

I distressed the edges of the cheese cloth with some Vintage photo and did that to the banner as well.

I'm quite satisfied with the end result and will for sure try this again....

Purse organizer... or just an organizer :-) SOLD

This organizer is in the family with the recipe book I've posted earlier. There is a small note pad that can be replaced. Just love the paper which is from Basic Grey.
As it is meant to be in your purse the only embellishment is the ribbon, don't need anything that can get tangled up with the other things in your purse.

This organizer costs DKK 75 + shipping.

Tissue roll alteration...

A very cute decorating item hanging on the wall or even from a which hazel branch.
I uses a tissue roll covered it with this beautiful Webster paper. Pressed it flat in one end and glued it.
Decorated it with beautiful lace and roses. The large rose is homemade the small roses are mulberry roses. Then dabbed it with a little white texture paint to give it a little distressed look.
Try it out at home a very easy and fun project to make with kids...... and tissue rolls....? Then just keep coming :-).
Have a wonderful weekend.

How to get rid of glue residue....

Went a little overboard with the glue and was fighting to get it off my desk.....was about to pull out the bottle with refined petrol, even though I just hate useing it... the fumes, yucky residue and the effect it has on my skin.....
Found a recipe for something called Goo-Gone on the Internet ..... Sounded sooooo easy I just had to try it. However, living in Denmark Baking Soda is not on the shelves in grocery stores, so I was thinking of an alternative.....NATRON!
Made a small portion to see if it really worked......:-) Worked great on my desk, but I wanted to put it to the test. Had a used jam jar, tried to get the labels off, but it was impossible....well some came off but not the glue... Used my Goo-Gone and with a little rubbing, rinsing some more Goo, a little more rubbing and the glue was GONE!!!! Amazing....

Goo-Gone recipe:

2 parts of Natron
1 part vegetable oil

Simple right...? It works:-)

Recipe book.... SOLD....check out my purse organizer - same idea

This book  was made from one of Laura Denison "Follow The Paper Trail"s tutorials. It is an amazing gift idea for recipes or as a bag organizer to save receipts, pictures, gift cards or anything that can fit into the pockets.
I reinforced the corners and panel edges with decoupage glue to make the paper more durable.

You can order one as the picture for DKK 75 + shipping. If specific paper line are requested and with more embellishments it will be a little more expensive. Send your order and color/embellishment choice to casafrost@gmail.com. 

Hope you like it... :-)

Beautiful card

I was asked to create a card for a special occasion and a creative gift. At present I cannot reveal the inside of the card but the outside with a sentiment in Swedish "Greatest of all is love".

Hope you like it and feel free to leave a comment:-)

A new kind of Snowglobe...

A very cute, no water, snow globe. Adorable for decorating.

Found this tiny clown and thought it would be perfect. Not having any fake snow I used some glass pebbles. After applying decoupage glue on the inside of the jar I put two table spoons of the tiny glass bites in and swirled to make it stick to the sides. 

The result is really sweet.
