This time of year is really busy with confirmations in my country, and this year my niece had her confirmation. I wanted to make her a special gift, so she has a memory for life. I choose to make her a box for all the greeting cards from the day, and on top of the box, I made a guestbook. The box is made from chipboard and covered with white Bazzil inside, and design paper from prima on the outside.…
Hi everyone! For a long time, I have wanted to meet Finnabair in person, and be able to learn from her directly. This weekend that dream came true! I took a class with her, named «colors of the past». It was really a nice project to work on, and she has a good way of teaching! New things are always a little scary, and I thought I had ruined my project 4 times during the class. But then the next step in…
Hi everyone! Easter is over, and summer is on its way. I have a lot of orders for my creations at the moment, so I’m a little behind on posting projects on the blog. I hope you still find this year’s Easter eggs interesting anyway. Every year I decorate Easter eggs in many colors. This year I made 10, and all of them was sold to one kind lady, and she even ordered 3 more! So here are all of…
Hi everyone! New week, new projects! This is my favorite make of April. It is a mixed media card, made for the weekly challenge in the pop-up lift challenge group I’m in:) I started by stamping some distress on to my glass surface from Tim Holtz and sprayed it with some water to get a watercolor look. I swiped the paper into the different puddles of color and dried with my heat tool. Then I found some background stamps I…
Hi friends! I admit it, I am totally in love with the Finnabair waxes! I paint everything I can find with black gesso, and then let the waxwork it’s magic. This time I had to ask my mom if she could be so kind as to eat her candy so I could have the tin. Hehe. And as you can see, she did. Thank you, mom! I used some casting moulds to create the angel and the rose inside the tin,…
At the beginning of 2019, I agreed with my self that I was going to participate in more challenges, so that I can have new ideas and learn new stuff. So far, I have managed to keep my promise to my self. This tag is made for a challenge on a Facebook group called Arjo’s ATC and tag. I enjoy tags and ATCs when I have no idea what to make, but I still want to make something. Here I…
Every week I participate in a challenge on a facebook group called “pop-up lift”, this card I made for last week lift. I used the Georgia blues design paper from Prima marketing, I also used embellishments from the same series. This is a really layered card and a bit out of my comfort zone, but it was really fun to try something new.…
Mixed media is something I really like and one of my favourite brands is Finnabair. I recently bought new products and had to test them at once. I found an old lightbulb, some cast forms, some glue sticks and old scraps of embellishments. After some glueing, painting and waxing this was the result. I like how this one turned out, and I’m looking forward to giving this to someone that deserves it. If you want to learn how to make…
