Panduro Hobby Christmas card Competition.

Right now Panduro Hobby is having a competition!

You have to design and make your own Christmas card.

(yup its looming, in fact only 2 months til Christmas now! 

Can't wait personally, I LOVE CHRISTMAS!)

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to enter, and the prizes are FAB.

Here is my entry:

 (I decided to make a tag, 

but with a card like place to write on the back, 

I do hope that they accept it as a card....)

The back side, showing the 'flip-up card' bit, a text stamp 

from Panduro and my personal stamp.

On the side I used a Panduro Foam stamp, 

its cool 'cos you can only see the silver ink from some angles.

I stamped straight onto the background I made 

using the new and Beautiful 'Tilda' Tissue paper

glued on using Panduro's own Decoupage glue.

Here you see a selection of Panduros Washi Tape, LOVE IT!

A vintage button sewed on with hemp string, and 

a scrap of of lace ribbon attached to the very bottom.

 In this photo i have tryed to capture the 

shine of the panduro stamp, 

embossed black Christmas tree.

Here you see the gorgeous new 'Tilda' ribbon 

attached to the top of the card.

I really enjoyed making this 

and it didn't take a whole lot of time either.

I had better skip along to Panduro with it one day soon.

(competition closing date is 11 Nov 2012)

Happy days! 

Thanks for stopping by.

Its been a while...

Due to my sons and Ibeing ill (pneumonia),

I've not had much time or energy to be sitting at my desk being creative :(

Things are looking up though (!) and I managed to finish off this notelet set box this afternoon.

What pushed me was not only that it is due to be delivered soon,

But also

Sukkersött

has a challenge (#113) this week to include

Flowers, pearls and lace on a project.

With a fantastic prize for a lucky winner!

2 rubber stamp sets from

'Stempel glede'

The backside.

The design papers and set of ribbons are from the new collection from Panduro called

'Tilda Summer Blues'

I adore them all, so fresh and spring like!
I bought a whole pile of bazzil card in colours that suit the design papers
and put together this set.

*

On each card I made a spellbinder shape and stamped 'Just a note' from my
'Waltzing mouse' set of sentements and frames,
with 'Versa Magic' ink in Sage which suited all the design paper colours.
I then embossed the text with clear embossing powder
and attached them with 3D pillows.
One of the notelets is made up from scraps from all of the design papers,
I have sewn with my sewing machine on this card and round the panel on the box too.
*

Then I started to think about how these notelets would best be kept together,
and the idea of making the box cover came to life.
I see now that I have forgotten to take a photo showing this, so I will add that soon :O)
The metal embellishments and flowers are from 'Kort og Godt'
(they got a good dose of Glimmer mist -pearl). Here I have used my new round the page punch by Martha Stewart (think its called vintage lace).
*

Each notlet measures 12.5 x 12.5 cm
and the folder measures 14.5 x 14.5 cm
I have tucked a writing pen inside the box too.

Hope life is treating you all well :O)

I'm dreaming of a white christmas....

I'm just so into the christmas spirit at the moment! (hope it lasts!)

I have never been so ahead with my christmas related projects as I am this year!

What a wonderful feeling that is!

*** It snowed here last night and the ground is all white and fluffy.***

There is something wrong with our fiber- cable connection at the moment so the Tv is on strike,

My boys and I chose to watch 'postman Pats christmas adventure' on Dvd this evening since the childrens hour was down, (who would have known that Pat is a pro iceskater!!) so they are getting into the christmas swing with me too Lol :O)

Here is another couple of cards I have made, again, they are quite simple with no stash!

( but they are a bit grubby :OD)

The Images are from Panduro and are painted with Tim Holtz refiller inks, using a painting style that i havn't tryed before - shabby painting as I call it! I think it has given the images a bit of an 'old fashioned' look... would you say so? Or should I not give up my day job??! Lol

The snow flakes are punched from Marvy in sizes small and medium.

The music paper is from Panduro and the rest is made from scraps.

Its back to photoshop to fix some more images ready to post soon,

But first i'm coming to visit your blog, on my very own private bloghop :OD

I hope to pop in on you all soon!

Smiles Nina xx
