A Notebook Cover with Mixed Media

Hello Everyone <3 

 Today it is a new Wednesday and I want to show YOU a new project I created as a Guest Designer for Noor! Design <3

This time I've really gone beyond my comfort zone. And moved myself into one area I NEVER tried before; until now. I made my first Mixed Media project, on a notebook.

I dag er det blitt en ny Onsdag og jeg skal vise Dere ett nytt prosjekt jeg har laget som gjeste designer for Noor! Design. 

Denne gangen har jeg virkeli gått utenfor min komfortsone, og beveget meg inn på ett område jeg aldri har prøv ut, før nå. Jeg har nemmelig laget mitt første Mixed Media prosjekt, å det på en notatblokk. 

 

The cover on the notebook was entirely black until I started with it.

 To get the vintage look I have used Gesso, Gold and Distress Ink. To create a vintage expression. 

Notatboken var i grunn helt svart før jeg bynte med den. 

Det er bruk av gesso, gullfarve og Distress Ink som har gjort at jeg fik en vintage overflate. 

 

 Noor! Design has some GREAT stencils with Silhouettes of girls on.

These images are a great idea if you are making cards to young girls. You can dress them up, used them in mixed media projects or do what I did. My whole project started with this tough girl.

 After drawing the girl on white paper, I cut her out.

Since I was going to have her on a notebook. I started to place small random stickers with letters over the girl.

When the last sticker was placed, I cut off what was sticking on the outside of the girls silhouette.

 Then I've used a thin layer of Gesso over the letters. Then I added several rounds of Distress Ink in diffrent brown tones. To get the right color.

In the end I cut her up in five pieces.

The tags are originally made from brown cardstock. But by using Gesso, Distress ink and some gold color on it. The result eventually became vintage tags. The joy of creating from scratch is just so wonderful! 

I glued the girl on the tags, and then I decided to only used three of the tags on the notebook.

Noor! Design har noen flotte stensiler med noen jenter / damer på. 

Vær og en av de jentene er forskjellige og passer til de fleste ungdommer man måtte ønske å lage kort til. Hele mitt prosjekt bynte med den jenta som ser tøffest ut. 

Etter å ha tegnet ut jenta på hvit kartong, klippet jeg henne ut. 

Siden jeg skulle ha henne på en notatbok, bynte jeg å plassere små klistremerker med bokstaver over hele jenta. 

når den siste bokstaven var plassert, klippet jeg av det som var uttafor. 

Jeg har brukt ett tynt lag med gesso over bokstavene å gått over med flere runder med Distress Ink i ulike brun toner for å få den rette fargen. 

Til slutt delte jeg henne opp i fem deler og limte på fem tags. 

Tagsene er egentli brun kartong, men med gesso, Distress ink og gull farve ble resultatet slik dere ser det nå. 

Til slutt valgte jeg bare å bruke tre av tagsene oppå boken. 

 All the flowers that are used on the project. Are all painted with Gesso, before I changed the color on them. Then they fit better in style of the others colors and tones that are on the book.

Alle blomsterne som er brukt på prosjektet er alle malet med gesso før jeg forandret farge på dem. Da går dem mere i stil med de andre fargene og tonene som er på notat blokken. 

On the notebook I have also used various kinds of metal decoration.

 These were in a bronze color and I colored them gold. I've done that by using Wink of Stella Metallic gold and Wink of Stella Brush gold.

Under the charms and the flowers I have used Softboard Art Dots. These can be easily colored in the color you want.

På Notatboken har jeg også brukt ulike typer metallpynt.

Disse var i en bronse farge og er farget gull. Det har jeg gjort ved å bruke Wink of Stella Metallic gull og Wink of Stella Brush i en gull farve. Når jeg har tatt det på, har jeg gnudd det utover for å få den rette gull farven. 

Under charms og blomster har jeg brukt Soft Board Art Dots. Disse kan man lett farge i den fargen man selv vil ha.

Now you have seen my first Mixed Media Project. 

I hope you like it <3  

Da har dere sett Notatboken min som jeg har gjort om ved å bruke Mixed Media. Kjempe gøy å Holde på med å man får virkeli leket seg med fargene :-D

 I wish you all a GREAT creative Wednesday everyone <3

Da ønsker jeg dere en fortsatt flott å kreativ Onsdag alle sammen <3

My DT Application in a Summer Crush

Hi everyone! 

I have for a long time been a big fan of a blog called Noor! Design ♥ 
Noor! Design has also an online store. Which has its home in England. They have a product line that is truly unique. As a scrapbooker I am so keen on trying all of their products. I get so inspired every time I visit the blog and the online store.

A couple of weeks ago I discovered they were looking for new designers for their already awesome team! I just had to make something and try to apply! I made two boxes using the gorgeous patterned papers from Maja Designs new collection - Summer Crush ♥ 

So this is my DT application for Noor! Design <3

I discovered scrapbooking in November 2013 and it changed my life.

It all began with a few Christmas cards and tags in 2013. During 2014 my talent developed in an incredibly fast pace :)
This has now become me my passion and I spend all my spare time producing paper projects. 
 
3D projects and special boxes soon became my field of expertise, and creating special new unusual projects. I feel an urge to create things that have never been done before. It makes me excited and time flies by so fast. It is like time does not exist while I am in the zone of creating ♥

From childhood I have always been very creative. I even studied pastry/cakes where I also could use my creativity.
I get inspired by things that surround me, nature, situations,feeling, weather; or ideas just pop up in to my head.

I really admire other scrapbookers and their work. However I never copy their work, I prefer to create something unique. I than truly feel that I am evolving. Pushing my own boundaries. So therefore I challenge myself to make "impossible" paper creations. "Nothing is impossible" is my mantra.

 My main focus is using many different variations of paper, the more layers the merrier! Many details such as ribbons, charms, bling and lots of paper flowers. I can make projects simple but still detailed. My favorite is large detailed projects, my style is mainly shabby chic/vintage.

I often make step by step tutorials on my blog, which people have told me are easy to understand. 

The project I am showing here I think describes me as a scrapbooker. I have made and decorated two boxes. Using a new collection of patterned papers from Maja Design called Summer Crush ♥ These two boxes are a pair, with two different sizes. Different themes and two different color hues.  

 

The blue box is the biggest of the two. It is mounted with thick cardstock that I colored with white spraypaint. When it was dry I adhered the different patterned papers.

On the outside of the box I have used two different papers. On the lid (top) I have used several different white flowers. I have adhered diecut leaves under the flowers. 

On the sides of the box I have used metal embellishments and diecut butterflies from Noor! Design. And i just LOVE them <3

In every corner I have adhered white half pearls. The box stands on four metal feet and in the front of the box there is a handle. 

When opening the box, the same patterned papers and color tones are found. As on the outside of the box.

 

On the inside of the lid there is an image of a gorgeous blue car. The same is found on the outside of the boxes lid. 

When I create projects especially boxes; I tend to make a variant that is either smaller or bigger of the original. Like I have done here. 

On this smaller box I have used patterned papers from the same collection as the blue box. Though this is more in reddish tones and the car has been switched with a bicycle.

I have used the same flowers and leaves as on the blue box.

The handle on the front of the box is switched with white half pearls. The image on the lid is of a bicycle with a basket full of flowers.

  This one also has butterflies on the sides, the same metal feet and white half pearls.

 

  

When opening the box, an image of two girlfriends with a bicycle appears. Also I have used three butterflies.

On the bottom another bike appears. This time a blue one. I have used some more white half pearls.

Even though these boxes are different in colors and motifs, they have some similarities. That make them fit together. 

If you study the pictures a little closer. You will see that the images on the blue box has images with red tones. The red box has images with blue tones. Do you see the woman's flip flop's and the car on the blue box? Beautiful red tones right!? On the red box there is a wonderful blue bicycle ♥

 

I have used the same patterned papers on both boxes. It is only the colors that separates them.

The same goes for inside the boxes too ♥

So now you have seen my application.

I truly wish to be a designer for Noor! Design. Scrapbooking is my big passion. I live and breath for creating and pushing my own boundaries. I LOVE your products and what I have seen been created by you and your team. It makes me even more excited and inspired. Your products are amazing and helps me be the best I can in creating new projects. I so wish to be a part of such a wonderful team! 

Today I design for

My Summer is a Puzzle

Hei hei dere!

Her i Bodø byen er det fremdeles flott vær, og jeg har noe flott jeg vil dele med dere i kveld :-D

For en stund siden, deltok jeg i en utfordring hos en engelsk side som kaller seg for Noor! Design. For noen uker siden fikk jeg meg en herlig overraskelse da jeg oppdaget at jeg hadde blitt valgt ut for å være Gjeste Designer. Tracy, som er ansvarlig på siden og butikken, inviterte meg til å bidra med fem bidrag som skal publiseres vær onsdag fremover. Å dette kunne jeg ikke bare si nei til ;-)

Some weeks ago, I got a LOVELY surprise <3 Tracy invited me to join as a Guest Designer for Noor! Design. I could not say no to such an amazing invitation <3 

Mitt første bidrag er en puzzelbit som jeg har forandret mye på. Dette er en pakke med fire biter i. Først har jeg brukt hvit og lilla akryl maling. Så har jeg brukt en stensil med flere ulike blomster og brukt hvit gesso for å få blomster rundt omkring. Etter det har jeg brukt hvit spraylakk og sprayet over. Da har jeg fått den fargen dere ser. 

My first contribution as a GDT, I have used a Puzzle piece. This is a Package with 4 pieces. I have used one, and of course I have changed it a lot:D First I used white and purple acrylic paint all over the puzzle piece. Then I used a Stencil with several different flowers with white Gesso to get the flowers all over. When it was dry, I used white spray paint, to get the right color <3 

 

Når det hele tørket, brukte jeg noen nydelige mønsterark, fra en paper pad som heter Shabby Christmas. I denne finner du nydelige ark som du kan bruke til prosjekter som ikke bare er Jul. Med disse arkene har jeg laget noen firkanter. Gjort kantene slitte og limt disse på brun kartong fra Bazzill.  

Motivet jeg har brukt er et bilde av en dame på stranden. 

Hun passer veldig godt til farger og blomster på brikken.

When it all was dry, I have used some lovely patterned papers from a Chabby Christmas paper pad.  This paper pad you will find patterned papers that you can use for more than just Christmas projects. The wonderful paper pad is very versatile. I've made some squares from the paper, and then adhered them to brown Bazzill Cardstock. The images I have used is a lady on the beach. She fits very well to the colors and the flowers. 

Rundt motivet har jeg brukt flere ulike blomster og skjell. Under blomstene har jeg brukt en flott dies fra nettbutikken, Vintage Flourishes leaf die. Denne har jeg stanset ut. Så gjort bladene mørkere med Distress ink og så har jeg limt dem fast under blomstene. 

Around the lady I have used several different flowers and seashells. Under the flowers I have used a great dies from the Online Store, Vintage Flourishes Leaf Die. The paper I have used are from the same paper pad. On the edge I have made the Leaf darker with Distress Ink and glued them under the flowers. 

 Jeg har også brukt to ulike bånd, den ene har jeg laget en stor hvit sløyfe av og festet ett lite skjell oppå. 

Helt på slutten har jeg gått over med den klare Wink of Stella kosten. 

I have also used two different ribbons. One of them I have made a large white bow and attached a small shell on the top. As a finishing touch I have used the clear Wink of Stella on the flowers.

Nå har dere sett mitt første bidrag som Gjeste Designer for Noor! Design <3

Du finner hele bidraget her <3

Now you have seen my first contribution as a Guest designer <3 I hope this was inspiring and fun to see :)

 You can find the full contribution her <3

Thank you so much for the opportunity Tracy ♥ and to the rest of the Noor! Design team Ladies <3

Summer at the Beach

Hei hei Dere <3

Jeg må bare skryte, her nord har vi en aldeles så flott sommer dag <3 Det er over 20 grader ute det er varmt, tilogmed vinden er varm. 

Tenk det Dere, en fantastisk sommer dag kommer dette til å bli. 

I morra er det desverre melt regn, men det tenker jeg ikke på akkurat nå :-)

Men nok om det flotte været vi har her nord. I dag designer jeg for kaBoks og jeg har laget ett nytt prosjekt jeg har lyst å vise Dere. Dere skjønner, for ett år siden på denne tiden befant jeg meg i Danmark på en herlig ferie. I løpet av den turen, ble det noen flotte turer på stranden, å da måtte jeg bare plukke noen skjell.

I snart ett år, har skjellene ligget i en rund boks, den har faktisk vært i gulvet en gang. Men for to, tre dager siden, måtte jeg åpne lokket å se om de enda var like hele. Det var de, og noen timer senere ble de festet på lokket til en boks <3


I Just have to brag, here in the North of Norway, we have a perfectly summer day <3 
Its over 20 degrees outside, it is hot, and even the wind is Hot.
 Sadly tomorow its raining agin, but just for to day, it is perfeckt <3

 But enough abute the great weather we have here in the north.
Today a'm designing for kaBoks and i'v created a new project i'v whant to show yoy. You know, a year ago at this time, I found myself in Denmark on a wonderful vaction.
During the trip, there was some great walks on the beach. I just had to pick some shells <3

For nearly a year, the shells have lying in a round Box, it has actually been in the floor once. But abute two or tree days ago, I had to open the lid to see if they were still in one piece. 
There were, and some hours later, they were on the top of a box <<3


"Summer at the Beach"

 Før jeg bynte å forandre på boksen, var dette en rød og sort boks, ett hjem til en Samsung telefon. 

Mønsterarkene jeg har brukt på boksen er noen Nydelige ark fra Maja Design sin nye Kolleksjon, Summer Crush <3 
Når jeg bynte med boksen, var det ett helt natulig valg å bruke disse arkene <3


Before i change the Box, was this a red and black box for a Samsung phone.

The pattern sheets I'v used on the box is a Beautiful sheets from Maja Design's new collection, Summer Crush <3

På denne boksen har jeg brukt to nydelige bånd fra kaBoks <3 

Den ene er Pia, som er lekker og nesten gjennomsiktig hvit blonde. 

Den andre er en tykkere hvitt bånd som heter Jasmine.

Ser man mer nøye på blondene jeg har valgt, er det  Pia som representerer blomsterne, det uskyldige på boksen. Mens Jasmine, er det røffe, som står i stil til skjellene jeg har brukt. Ved å bruke to ulike bånd, som er ulike i kontrastene, kan man skape en kontrast man ikke ser med engang, men som kommer fram når prosjektet er ferdig.

Slik det gjør på denne boksen <3 Ett lite tips fra meg ;-)

On this box i have spent two beautiful ribbons from kaBoks <3
It is Pia, which is wonderful and almost transparent white lace.
The other is thicher white ribbon called Jasmine.

 Are you looking more closely at the lace and the ribbon I have chosen. Can you see that Pia is representing the flowers, the innocent on the box. While Jasmine, is the rough, which is a nod to the shells I have used. By using two diffrent ribbons that are different in contrast, can you create a contrast you did not see at once, vut that appars when the project is finished.

 Like on this box, one little tip from me ;-)

Oppå blåndene har jeg festet de ulike skjellene og brukt hvite blomster i mellom de ulike skjellene. 

Dette har jeg gjort for å få frem Sommeren, stemningen og kontrastene jeg ønsker oppå lokket <3

On the top of the ribbons, I have attached the verious shells and used white flowers in between the shells
This I have done to bring out the summer feeling, the atmosphere and the contrasts i whant. 
 

Jeg har også stanset ut noen blad å lagt i mellom også.

Dette er også det samme mønsterarket jeg har brukt på lokket <3

Hjørnene som er brukt, var opprinelig i sølv. Her har jeg brukt den hvite Wink of Stella, å gjort dem mer gråhvit i farge. Dette gjorde jeg for å dempe den sølve fargen, slik at man legger merke til skjellene, fargene på arkene og båndene fra kaBoks.


I also cut out some leaf to put in between the shells and the flowers. This is the same pattern paper I'v used on the top of the box <3 

The corner I'v used, was originally in silver. I have used the white Wink of stella Bruch, to made them more salt in the color. This was done to mitiqate the silver color, so you notice the shells, the colors on the sheets and the ribbons from kaBoks <3

Løfter man av lokket, vil man finne flate rundinger i kork, som er svertet med Disstres Inck i ulike rosa toner. 

 Dette gjorde jeg for å gjøre noe nytt, å tenkte det passet til. 

Nesten en liten hemlighet inni boksen.

"Det som skjer på Stranden, Blir på Stranden" ;-)


If you open the box, you will find flat round stickers in cork. I have used difrent colers from Drisstres Inck, to make them blend.
I did this to make and do something new. 
Its lika a little secred inside the box.

"What happens on the beach, stay on the beach" 

Metall føtterne som er brukt på denne boksen, var opprinelig i en bronse farge. Etter flere runder med den hvite og den rosa Wink of Stella kostene, 

ble dette resultatet. 

Det er ikke mye rosa på denne boksen, 

men den går igjen i noen av skjellene på toppen, deriblant en kråkebolle ;-)


The metal feet i have used on the box was originally in a bronze color. After several rounds of the white and the pink Wink of Stella, is this the result.

There is not much pink on this box, but recurs in some of the shells on the top. Including a sea urchin ;-) 

Da har dere sett en boks som er inspirert av en sommer full av lykkelige tider og flotte minnerike minner fra flere lange strender i Danmark <3

Mer info om ulike produkter, finner du HER <3 


Then you have seen a box inspired by a summer filld up with happy times and wonderful memorable memories from several long beaches in Denmark <3
 

 Da ønsker jeg dere en riktig så god å kreativ Onsdag i Sommer været <3

Then I wish you all a good creative wednesday in the summer weather <3

Klem fra DT Silje Kristin <3
