Project of the week - Moneybox

We all need to save a little something, right? So why not make a pretty little moneybox for our savings? This is what we have done to inspire you this week!

Let's show you the DT's work right away!!!

MiaT
Here's a little piggybank, literally! The little pig in papier mache has been decorated with quite a lot of stamps...
Sentiment: lycka till, swirlig (T45)
Horse shoe (A27)
 

Nettan
A Pringles can has got a new life as a moneybox...
Butterfly (A61)

Bing
She made a little box with an easily removable lid... (I don't know if that's good when it comes to saving money though...! ;)
Owlcouple (K13)
 

Benita
She altered a Prima Flower jar that she wants to use when she puts her cards out for sale at work!
 

Lilla Jag
She did an altered tin for her extravaganzes... :)
 

San
I also altered a tin, mine used to have sweets in it and it had a plastic lid, perfect for cutting a slit into... I wanted somewhere to put my money that I make selling my cards, so that I can use it to buy crafty little things...
San's tag (S53)
 


That was all from us today, we hope that you've enjoyed our little project and that you perhaps have gotten a few ideas of you own?
Take care!

On your weddingday!

I have made a weddingcard in the colours white and cream (light brown). I used the beautiful rosestamp from Stämpelkällan and the most wonderful textstamp Annies song by John Denver. I have always loved that song, even today it gives me goosebumps.

Kort till tvillingar

Gokväll!
Ikväll har jag fått detta kort färdigt, fick riktigt tänka till då jag skulle göra ett kort till tvillingar.
Jag använde mig av stämpeln "Baby-Knyte" och stämplade upp 3 st, klippte ut varje baby för sig och rosetten sist. Jag tycker det blev väldigt bra.
Har även använt stämpeln "Klockbakgrund". Har färglagt dom med akvarellpennor. Båda är flickor så färgen lila är väl använd.

Grattis!

Onsdag kväll och min första arbetsvecka efter en härlig semester, ja, lite pyssel fick det allt bli.
Jag har använt en lite nyare grattis-stämpel. Den är superfin tycker jag! Ramen är en av de motiv som nu säljs till halva priset. Ett litet fynd helt enkelt!
Ramen har jag embossat och texten sitter på 3D-kuddar. Blommorna är modifierade Retropunch-blommor á la Tesa.


Ha en fortsatt gó kväll!
Monica =)

Hjärtliga Gratulationer

Hej, trevlig onsdag på er alla. Jag har suttit och lekt med distresser. Jag använde mig av stämplarna; "Hjärtliga gratulationer" och "14.Klockbakgrund" lite blommor, spets och lite blad av en bibel, på dessa har jag klackelerat, har även använt mig av en utstansad fjäril.

Så här blev resultatet.

House card


I made a card with this lovely stamp Höghus S109 Sans Design. As you can see I didn't put any text on the card, I will do that later on when I know what I will use it for. It's perfect to have some cards ready in case you will need one fast and there is no time to make one.

Have a nice Wednesday!

Hugs guest-dt Lilla jag

Tuesday Tip by Elli: Swing card

Hello and welcome to my Tuesday Tip! Today I am going to show you how to make a Swing card. It is a fun fold and easy to make. I will write the measurements in both cm and inches so you can choose wich one you want to use.


Start by cutting a piece of cardstock in 14 x 17,2 cm (5-1/2"x 6-3/4").



Place the paper with the long side upwards in the paper trimmer if you have one with a scoring blade. Otherwise use ruler and scoring tool.
At 7 cm (2-3/4") score 3,2 cm (1-1/4") in from both the top and bottom edge.
And at 10,2 cm (4") score again 3,2 cm (1-1/4") in from top and bottom edge. Now it should look like this:




Turn the cardstock and place it in the paper trimmer. Now use the cutting blade.
At 10,8 cm (4-1/4") line the blade up at 3,5 cm (1-3/8") and cut down to the score line.
Then keep the paper in the same place and line the blade up at 13,7 cm (5-3/8") and cut up to the other score line.
Turn the paper and repeat this step on the other side. Then it looks like this:




Place the cardstock again with the long side upwards in the paper trimmer.
At 3,5 cm (1-3/8") cut between the two lines already cut.
Turn the paper and repeat this step on the other side and it looks like this:




Then fold like this:


And then decorate as you like :)

This is my finished card where I used the stamp Idag ska du firas:






This is a swing card I made a while ago:

It is a bit bigger than the first one to make room for the stamp San med blomsterbukett. And also I cut the design paper so that it covers most of the card. It takes a bit more measuring and cutting but looks nice I think.

That´s all from me for now! Hope my tip will be useful.

Veckans projekt: shaker-box

This week me and some of my DT-friends have been playing with shaker-boxes. It's a fun way to decorate your crafting!
We've mostly used pearls in our boxes but everything goes: candy, paperclips, tinsel, rice/pasta or coins perhaps. Only your imagination and of course the size of the box is the limit =)

Now it's showtime!

Tesa made a five-angled box with lots and lots of small flowers on the lid. In the box she stamped "Hipp hipp hurra" and filled the shakerbox with pearls. So pretty with all the flowers and a perfect giftbox!

Pippin made a summer-card with sweet "Vera på bryggan". She put Vera in the box and filled it with water-like pearls and tinsel. She also painted a beautiful sky behind Vera!

Elli made her daughter a cute little jewellery box. On the lid you find "Fideli med trollspö".
Can't be too much pink and glitter when it comes to small ladies I think!

Here comes a closer look at Fideli and the pink pearls in the shaker-box.

Bic made a card for a brand new baby. She used "Baby-knyte", "Grattis till bäbisen" and the stains from "Klockbakgrund" around the edges. I like how she put crackle accents around half the blue circle!

I made a small card, only 10*10cm. In the box you find "Njut av varje ögonblick". I filled the box with micropearls, glitter and sugarpearls, the ones meant to put on cakes or ice-cream.

As you can see the shaker-box is attached to the card with the help of magnetic tape. Under the box I stamped "Du gör mej glad". The magnetic tape was a bit too black so I put a flowery tape on top of it =).

If you wish you can put the shaker-box as a reminder on the refrigerator. A suitable message I think!

Never forget to enjoy every moment!!!!!
Hugs, Monica =)

Vinn veckans stämpel! /stamp of the week

Even if it's the middle of summer and most of you are busy having vacation I guess, it's still friday!!
That means we're going to give you the chance to win a stamp again =)
Same procedure as always: just leave us a comment! On sunday we'll tell you who this weeks' lucky winner is.
Well, the stamp this time is "Jeppe, krya på dej".

Now some pics to show you what the DT-team has created:

Bic has altered a sandwich-box. Now this is where she keeps her plaster, painkillers and stuff.

I made a "hope you feel better-card", a round one instead of my usual 15*15 =)

Here comes another "feel better-card", made by Pippin. Clever to decorate with some bandage, don't you think?!

Elli made a box for plaster, perfect for the handbag or as a gift perhaps!

Here's the opposite side.

Tesa also made a box, but for paper napkins instead. So much nicer to keep them this way I think!
This is how it looks when closed.

Now it's your turn: just to leave us a comment and hope for some luck =)

I also want to remind you that we're looking for six new guest-DTs!!
How to enter the call you find HERE!
It's great fun, so give it a try!!!

Enjoy summer!!
Monica
