Gift box

Gift box

When I started this I wasn´t quite sure of how I wanted it to be or what I was going to use it for but I must say that I am really happy with the resault.
This box I will give away and I will just fold some money to put in it. I think it is about 10 cm x 10 cm so it´s not that big. 

I used this nice paper I bought and of course I thought of staming it a bit after I already had put it on the box. Well well, it turned out good anyway but I need to think of doing all the stamping first the next time. 

I used wallnut stain on the edges and then I decorated it with some  flowers from Prima Marketing and my new die from Magnolia. The more I´m using products from Prima Marketing, the more I´m falling in love with them.

This is how the back looks like on the box with the staming. I just did it randomly and just put some here and there. :)

The butterfly I used some old paper I found with a lot of colours on it.

I hope you liked this box and that it gave you some inspiration. If there is anything you woundering just ask by leaving a comment or sending me a mail.

Happy crafting. 

Tin recycle

Recycle

Well we all know how important it is to recycle everything and here I will show you what I did with a tin of ravioli. 

On the top you can see the material I used for this. The tin is cleand of course or it would start to smell hehe. 

I just put on everything that I wanted on it just random until I feelt nothing more would fit. .

When I have everyting that I want on my tin I started to cover everything with alunium tejp. Just like I have done on my other projects. Then it´s just the paint job and putting in the plant  and now I have a really cool tin insteed :) 

I hope you got some inspiration from this and please let me know what you think.

Happy crafting. 

Card making time

Well I´m not that much into making cards but I have to addmit that it is pretty fun to do, sometimes.
Since I am new to this I don´t know what style I like yet so I´m testing and seeing what I like. And the reason why I wanted to show this card is because I want to show that everyone has to start somewhere. Not everyone can make all this nice cards thats for sale on FaceBook and other sites. We all have to learn and this is where I´m starting :)

For this card I used an image on an angel and for the background I used some stencils from Tim Holtz with distress ink. I have always loved blue so of course I use blue for my first project. I think it turned out pretty good for beeing my first try ever on a card. 

This is how it looks like when I was trying out to see how I wanted the flowers to be placed.

I finaly decided to have them like this and I think it was a good choise.

This is the finished card.

I hope you liked it and that it gave you some inspiration on how to make and easy and nice card.

Happy crafting all. 

I was on YouTube the other day and this guy made this awsome hat and I just knew I hade to try it out and this is the resault. This was really easy to do and I will absolutly do more then this one.

First I hade to make a pettern and this hat is made out of foam. It took me a while before I got it right and this is how one of the pices looked like. On the big round I also needed to cut out the center or it would be hard to wear it. I chose to have eight sides on my hat so I needed two sheets of foam.

After all the pices was cut out I startd to make the hat by gluing the eight pices together and I got something that looked like this.

When the glue was dry I put on the top and the bottom of the hat.

Just added some different decorations, also made out of foam but of course you can use pretty much anything you like and prefeer .

Since I wanted my hat to be dark I painted it all black as a bas.

And when all the black pain was dry I added some brown and some silver to get that effect that I wanted and then when it was dry I was done. 

I hope you liked this and please let me know what you think about it and if you try it out yourself, let me see how it turned out.

Happy crafting all. 

Challange time. :)

I thought I would enter a challenge and this is something that I never do usualy but I´m starting to feel more and more confortable with my crafting so I thought I would give it a try.

I decided to make a PL card for my album and I have have chose third row Stickles to Brads on the bingo card and this is how my card turned out. 

If you want to enter the challenge you can press here.

I used stickles around the picture and then I used two different dies to get the title with two different fonts. Then for the colour I used Distress Ink both for the fonts and on the stars. The swirl on the right is embossed with my new embossing powder ( wich I love btw. ). And finaly I used sunglasses brads to complete my card.

I hope this will give you some inspiration and now lets hope I win the challange with my card.

Happy crafting. 

So now it´s easter again and I thought I would do an easteregg. It was the first time I tryed to do anything like this and I must say I feel really happy with the result. This one I will give to my mom. :)

I found this old and really borring egg in a draw and since it was shaped like a heart I didn´t want to throw it away. Usualy we just have the normal round ones here in my town wich is so borring.

Under my tejp I have punchiella and some other kind of tejp. I really don´t know the name of it in english but it´s normaly used for wallpapering. After that I cut pices of my aluminium tejp and started to tejp all my egg.

When the tejping is done I use my tool to go around all the edges on the tejp under and on the punchiella.

Since I wanted some cogwheel on my egg I did the same thing with them. I put some tejp on my paper and run it throuh my Cutlebugg with a cogwheel die. 

To give the egg and the cogwheel a bit more struckture I went over them with some steel wool because that will make the paint stick better. When I feel I got the texture I want I painted the egg with some black akrylic paint, and then wiping off the extra colour. I did the same thing on the cogwheel. This step I just repeted til I got the resault I wanted and then I just decorated my egg.

Now this is the finished resault and I am so satisfyed with it and I think that my mom will love it.

If you like this egg please let me know by leaving a comment here or send me an mail. Is there anything you don´t understand or want to ask me about, do the same thing. Leave a comment or send me an mail. :)

Happy crafting.

If you have been on my blogg before you have seen that I´m giving my IKEA storage a makeover. Here is another pice that I got done and this time I thought I would show you more exacly how I´m doing it. 
So it´s more pictures and a bit more text to every picture.
As usual, if there is anything you want to know or if it is anything that you that you don´t understand, just send me a message or an e-mail.

This is what I started with. I messured my IKEA box to get the right size of my paper. The alumium tejp I cut into smaller pices because I want them to go a bit over eachother.

When I got all the things I need I´m starting to put them out on my paper and trying to find a layout that I like. I use some glue to make them stick to it after I´m happy with my arrangment.

Now it´s time to start tejping. As you can see I let my tejp pices go over eachother becaue I like the effect they give. Don´t worry about getting tejp outside of your paper because that you can easy cut away after you´r done.

When all of my paper is coverd in tejp I use a siccor to trim the edges. I also make some lines and dots on my tejp. Here I also go arond every edge on my decorations I have under my tejp.

Just some pictures to show you how it looks like after all the tejping and outlining the edges.

When you´r feeling that you´r done you use some steel wool and just go over your work to get it a bit more rough and some texture in it.

Take your acrylic pain and paint everything. Don´t worry about how much paint there is because when you have coverd it all, you take some paper and whipe it off. The harder you pull with the paper the more paint you´r removing. If you want more paint, just do this step again.

This is how your finished work looks like. :) Good job.

Since I´m doing some boxes I need to have a handle on it. I didn´t find any in the right colour so I bought some Inka colour and just used that to get them as I wanted. Simple and easy. 

Here are just some pictures of the finished resault and as you can see, now I just have one large pice left and then it´s almost done. All the wood that´s left on it will be black when I´m done.

I hope you got some tips and ideas of how to use this teqnicue and as always, if there is anything you don´t understand or so just send me a mail.

Happy crafting and I would love to see your resaults.
