Christmas card

This week I have been home from work since my back hurts.

I spend my time this days trying to make a little christmas card.

I made it in the same papper and colours as the candlebox.

The papper is from Maja Design. Old christmas.

I just love thoose pappers and I now try to find more of them, not verry easy I can tell you.!!

So on to my card then:

Thanks for stoping by!!

A candle box tutorial / Ljusask tutorial

I made a little candle box and I thought I show you how to do it.A perfect little gift to give away to someone who for example invites you to dinner and you don´t want to come emty handed or a little birthday gift to someone...

Jag har gjort en liten ljusask för värmeljus och jag tänkte visa er hur jag har gjort den.En superbra liten present att ge bort om man tex är bortbjuden och inte vill komma tomhänt, eller som en liten enkel present till någon som fyller år...I denna asken får det plats 9 st värmeljus.

Start by cutting your paper 18 x 29,5 cm.
Then you draw the fold lines like this:
Horizontal you make the lines at 12, 14, 26, 28, 29,5 cm
Vertical you make the lines at 1, 3, 15, 17 cm.

Börja med att skära till ditt papper 18 x 29,5 cm.
Du gör linjerna för vikningen på detta sättet:
Vågrätt drar du linjerna på 12, 14, 26, 28 och 29,5 cm.
Lodrätt drar du linjerna på 1, 3, 15 och 17 cm.

Then you cut you paper like on the picture above.

Sedan klipper du till ditt papper som på bilden ovan.

Then I use my shape cutter to cut a circle in the middle on the frontside, this is like a window.

Sen använde jag min shape cutter och skar ut en cirkel i mitten på framsidan, detta är som ett fönster där man kan se ljusen.

Then I took this Lamination machine and made a sheet that I cut out a bit of and placed on the backside of the window I had cut out on the candle box.

Sen tog jag min lamineringsmaskin och körde igenom ett ark där så jag fick ett genomskinligt lite hårdare ark som jag sen klippte ut en lagom bit ur och satte fast på baksidan av fönstret jag skar ut innan.

Then I put some adhesive on ( look at the picture ) and put the box together.

Sen satte jag dubbelhäftande tejp på flärparna, se bilden i mitten, och sedan satte jag ihop boxen.

Then all you have to do is to decorate your box!
I´m sorry for my really bad english but I hope you will understand from all the pictures.If not just send me an email with your questions and I will answer them as good as I can. I hope you will enjoy this and pleace let me see your box if you make any!!

Sen är det bara kvar att dekorera din lilla box!
Skulle vara jättekul om jag får se just DIN ljusask om du gör någon!
Här ser ni min.

Birthday card

My friend ordered a birthday card from me to a friend of here who live ín Germany.

And since she will get ther on thursday ( to Germany ) I had to make the card today!

So this is the card and I got some colours from my friend to pic from and this time I went with purple...
It´s very hard to photograf purple so the colours are looking better in real life.

I usually don´t do cards this fast but I think it turned out well anyway even though I only made it in a couple of hours in the morning today...

Thanks for stoping by!!

Birthday card

Last weekend I made a birthday card for my best friend who will be 40 tomorrow.

Since I don´t have any money to buy a present for I made a little present for her by my self.I made a litle matchbox for her since I know that she likes them.I made one small one for her just when I started with papercrafts but that one is so worn now that she can´t get fire on the sticks...giggle.So I made a new one, get some candles that I wrap some paper on and made a card just for her.We was celebrating her just a little today since she will get her family home tomorrow.
She will have a big party in the summer to celebrate with all her friends so I will get her a proper present then. ;o)
On this card I use a hÄnglar stamp that I color with distress inc.As I use to... ;o)The letters I have done with my revolution tool.Thanks for stoping by!
