Happy New Year! ♥

I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas, and a great start of the new year.

DT Unik Hobby - Christmas Goodie Bag

Malene at Unik Hobby asked me to make something with this cute stamp from Art Impressions. I'm not in a "Christmas-mood" yet, so I really struggled... ;) I've made a goodie bag, and I've used this tutorial - although I've made my bag a little bigger...

I love this beautiful paper from BoBunny. It's so delicate!

I've coloured the image with my Promarkers. I'm not at all satisfied, because the
colours "flowed out". I had to start all over again and again, but in the end I could bear no more.. ;)

Materials:
Papers: Bazzill, BoBunny - Snowy Serenade Glitter Paper Serenity.
Stamps: Art Impressions - Jingle Bench Tots, Stempelglede - Gledelig Jul.

Du er en engel.... | You are an angel....

Er ikke dette papiret fra Papirdesign bare utrolig lekkert?? Jeg forelsket meg helt i det, og måtte bare lage en liten engle-eske... Dere er sikkert lei av eskene mine nå, men jeg liker veldig godt å lage dem... *fnis*

Isn’t this paper from Paperdesign just incredibly delicious?? I love it, and just had to make this angel box.
You are probably tired of my boxes now, but I just love making them…*lol*

Jeg har brukt disse diesene fra Spellbinders til å skjære ut topp og bunn. ”Veggen” er laget av Bazzill kartong og deretter kledd med det nydelige papiret fra Papirdesign. Lokker er i tillegg pyntet med en blonde, perler og diverse blomster.

 

I have used these dies from Spellbinders to cut out the top and bottom. "The wall" is made of Bazzill cardstock and covered with the beautiful paper from the Paperdesign. The top is decorated with a lace, flowers and pearls.

I esken har jeg lagt et koselig lys. Stempelet med teksten "God Jul" er fra Unik Stempel Design.

Inside the box, there is a little Christmas Gift - a Tealight Candle.The text in front of the box is from Unik Stempel Design, and means "Merry Christmas".

Tusen takk for at du titter innom. Ha en riktig fin kveld!
Klem


Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful evening.

Innpakning for vinflaske | Packaging for a bottle of wine

Her har jeg laget en "innpakning" til ei vinflaske. Denne lagde jeg også til Ett Trykk's desemberutgave. Idéen til dette prosjektet fikk jeg da jeg stod igjen med emballasjen til en 6-pakning Toblerone... :) Størrelsen på malen jeg har laget, passer perfekt til en halvflaske vin, likør e.l., men den kan selvfølgelig tilpasses ønsket størrelse.

I've created this design that fits perfect for decorating a half bottle of wine, liqueur etc. The template is easy to adjust to the size you desire. :) A perfect gift for a person who has everything. :)

Jeg har brukt et nydelig mønsterark fra 3ndypapir. Stempelteksten Gledelig Jul er fra Unik Stempel Design. Ellers har jeg pyntet med blomster, bånd, perler og metallpynt som du finner i nettbutikken til Unik Hobby.

I've used this beautiful paper from 3ndypapir, and a text stamp from Unik Stempel Design.

Fremgangsmåte:
Bunnen er laget av en sirkel (13,5 cm) som er skåret ut i kraftkartong. Denne er så kledd med bazzill kartong. Mønsterpapiret måler 26 x 17 cm. Bruk Scor-Pal og del opp mønsterpapiret som anvist på malen. Lag hull og fest eyelets i de øverste spissene. Lim sammen i siden og lim deretter mønsterpapiret på den runde kartongen. Spissene skal peke utover (og ligner da en "stjerne"). Træ båndet gjennom eyeletsene og knyt en liten sløyfe bak. Den store sløyfa er festet til en metallring og limt på i front. Bunnen er pyntet med blomster og perler.

Procedure:
The bottom is made of a circle of cardboard (13.5 cm), which is covered with Bazzill cardstock. Pattern paper is 26 x 17 cm. Use the Scor-Pal and scor as shown on the template. Make holes and fasten eyelets. Add glue and mount. Thread the ribbon through the eyelets and tie a small bow behind. Decorate as desired..

Adventskalender | Advent Calendar

Denne uken holdt jeg årets siste kurs hos Unik Hobby, og da var det adventskalender som stod på timeplanen. Inspirert av den nydelige bryllupskaka til min gode DT-kollega Maya, fikk jeg så lyst til å prøve meg på en adventskake... ;)
Etter fargene å dømme, er det lite som minner om advent med denne kaka, men det var ikke enkelt å finne lilla mønsterark til alle kursdeltakerne.... Og det er sikkert ingen bombe at jeg er utrolig glad i arkene fra Maja Design heller.... *knis*





This week I had another class at Unik Hobby. The last one this year...
Inspired by the beautiful wedding cake that my DT-friend Maya has made, I wanted to try to make an Advent Calendar Cake... ;)
For the colors to judge there is not much similar to the Advent... *lol*




Kaken består av 24 kakestykker, og malen har jeg funnet her.. Jeg har riktignok endret den litt.. Jeg har laget kakestykkene i 2 størrelser, i tillegg til at jeg har endret lukkingen.. Lukene holdes igjen med en blonde, som er lukket med en magnet... Kanskje litt tungvindt å åpne/lukke, men jeg syns det pyntet litt opp med bånd og hjerter, jeg... ;)

I've found the cake template here, but I've changed the template a bit. I've made the boxes in 2 sizes, and as you can see I've changed the closing too.



Materials:
Papers: Bazzill - white, Maja Design Vintertid - Rimfrost, Snøflingor, Snøyra, Paper Doilies.
Punch: Martha Stewart Heart Punch,
Embellishments: Paper flowers, ribbon, lace.

Tusen takk for alle de koselige tilbakemeldingene jeg har fått av dere både på mail og her i bloggen min. Det varmer! *klem*

Mange av dere har sendt meg mailer i forbindelse med bidragene mine til det siste nummeret av Ett Trykk. Jeg setter utrolig stor pris på den enorme responsen, og jeg lover å komme tilbake til dere som har sendt meg spørsmål, men jeg rekker det nok ikke før i slutten av uken, dessverre...

Tusen takk for at du tar deg tid til å besøke bloggen min.
Jeg håper du har en fin uke. :)

Klem fra Kirsten



Thank you very much for all the lovely comments you have given me lately. It means a lot! Have a great week everyone. Take care!

Another Chocolate Box | En ny sjokoladeeske.

Happy New Year to you all! I hope you're enjoying yourself! I've made a Chocolate Box for a good friend. I've used this beautiful stamp from the collection Engler i julenatt. I just have to make something with this stamp every Christmas. It's one of my favourites. As I've mentioned before, I fell in love with a box designed by Anita Thorsen. I was inspired by her to create a slightly larger box. I'll post a template in my blog shortly. :)

Godt nytt år, alle sammen! Håper dere har hatt en fin start på det nye året! Jeg rakk ikke så veldig mange julekort før jul, men noen ble det. Hvert år bare må jeg lage noe med dette nydelige englestempelet. Det er definitivt et av favorittstemplene mine. Stempelet er fra samlingen Engler i julenatt. Som jeg har nevnt i bloggen min tidligere, forelsket jeg meg helt i esken som Anita Thorsen har designet. Fordi jeg trengte et litt større format, lagde jeg min egen variant av denne. Jeg legger ut en mal på denne esken i bloggen min i løpet av kort tid. :)


I've used patterned paper designed by Vibeke Spigseth, and Doily Lace Edge Punch from Martha Stewart Crafts to make the belt around the box. I've decorated the belt with pearls from Kort og Godt.


Jeg har brukt mønsterark designet av Vibeke Spigseth. Borden jeg har rundt hele esken er laget med Doily Lace Edge Punch fra Martha Stewart Crafts. Utenpå borden har jeg limt på halvperler fra Kort og Godt.



I've decorated the box with Prima Bouquet flowers, lace, Scrappers floss and metal embellishments. I've also used this punch from McGill.
Jeg har pyntet esken med Prima Bouquet blomster, blonder, Scrappers floss og metallpynt. Jeg har brukt denne punchen fra McGill til å stanse ut grenene.




I've filled the box with Ferrero Rocher Chocolate and a gift certificate.

Esken er fylt med Ferrero Rocher sjokoloade, og på toppen ligger et gavekort.



Have a nice weekend, everyone!
Hugs, Kirsten

Jeg håper du får en riktig god helg!
