Tutorial - folding card.




I have got a lot of questions about my last card, so today I have made a tutorial. This card folding is not my idea, I have seen a lot of cards like this in many different blogs, but I have never seen a tutorial, so here is my way to make this card.
You need a 6” * 11 ¾” cardstock, and patterned paper.
All the papers I have used are from Pion Design, from the collections For Father, and For Mother.

Score the cardstock at: 3 ¼” – 5” – 6 ¾” – 8 ½”



Fold it like this.



Find a shape you want to use, cut the patterned paper, and glue it to the wings on your card. I have used a circle shape this time.




Now just follow the shape, and cut the cardstock by hand.

Here I have decorated all the areas with papers from Pion Design.



Now my card is ready to get decorated. I have stamped a text from North Star Stamps on paper from Pion Design, and framed it with die cuts from Spellbinders. I have used the same paper and frame for the wings, and added a lot of pearls.

Here is my card all finished.



Here is my card folded together



 
On the back side I have made a writing space.
 
 
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial, and good luck with your card.
Hugs, Marianne:)

Et brettekort til jubilanten.

Jeg har et nytt brettekort å by på i dag. Vet ikke hva denne bretteteknikken heter, men disse kortene er veldig morsomme å lage. Motivet har jeg kjøpt hos Digital Paper, en liten skattekiste av vintage go`biter:) Teksten er fra Storyteller, og papirene er fra Maja Designs nyeste kolleksjon.



Her har jeg tatt bilde ovenfra, så det er lettere å se hvordan kortet er brettet.


Sånn ser kortet ut når det er brettet sammen.

  
Her har jeg laget skrivefelt på baksiden av kortet.

Sketchy Colors utfordring - Sugar Nellie

Denne søndagen har vi en fargeutfordring klar hos Sketchy Colors, og fargene vi vil se denne gangen er Lilla / Hvit / Sølv. Hiv deg med, og du har muligheten til å vinne en flott premie fra vår mai-sponsor The Paper Shelter.

Motivet jeg har brukt er fra Sugar Nellie, det heter "Fifi Goes Shopping"og du finner det hos Funky Kits. Jeg har fargelagt motivet med Copics, og brukt papirer fra Papirdesign. Beltekortet fant jeg en flott tutorial til i Ett Trykk, og måtte selvfølgelig prøve meg:) Alle tekstene er også fra Ett Trykk, og blomstene har jeg stanset ut med en dies fra Die Namic og rullet selv .

Release day and blog hop - Sugar Nellie


Today is the big day! Today you will find all the new Sugar Nellie "Country Cousins" stamps over at Funky Kits. But first I hope you will enjoy our last day of Sneak Week blog hop, and if you arrived here from Anita`s blog, you are doing fine. If not you may want to go to the Sugar Nellie blog, and start the hop from there. If you remember to leave comments on your way, you have a chance to win a sweet prize from Sugar Nellie.
The last “Country Cousin” image is called ”Skool Days” and I think maybe she is my favorite. I fell in love with her right away :) I have made a bag card, colored the image with Copics, and framed her with a dies from Marianne Design. The papers are from Linda Design, a Norwegian designer, and I have used a cute text, flowers and leafs for decorations.




Here is my card wide open.


 
I hope you all have enjoyed our sneak week blog hops. But before you go shopping at Funky Kits, you must hop over to Maria Thereses blog, I`m sure she has something gorgeous ready for you:)

Staffelieske - Pion Design

I dag har jeg en gaveeske å vise frem. Jeg har laget en konfirmant eske med skuff, og et staffelikort på toppen. Jeg har brukt de nydelige små papirene fra Pion Design kolleksjonen Till Mor – 6”’*6”. Rosepapiret finnes på arket Morsdagsros, Stripepapiret er på arket Dukade fikabord, og den søte borden finnes på arket Blombukett. Motivet jeg har brukt er fra Sweet Pea, og jeg har fargelagt med Promarkers.


 Her ser du esken når staffeliet er lagt ned.


Her ser du skuffen åpen. Alle tekstene jeg har brukt er fra Kort & Godt.
