Romantisk Kort/Romantic Card

Hei alle sammen! Yasmin her på bloggen i dag og  har jeg et romantisk kort jeg gjerne vil vise frem! :) 

Hello Everyone! It's Yasmin here on the blog today and  I have a romantic card to share with you. 

Jeg har ikke bare brukt ett inkido stempel for å lage kortet mitt, men 6 forskjellige stempler satt sammen til ett trykk! Motivet er farget med distress inks. 

I haven't used only one inkido stamp to make my card, but 6 diffrent ones all put together as one motiv! I colored it with different distress inks. 

Jeg har kost meg med de nyeste papirene i "Beautiful Memories 2" kolleksjonen. De er så vakre og jeg må legge til at jeg ble faktisk veldig fornøyd med det kortet her. Fikk bittetlitt dårlig samvittighet når jeg krøllet papiret godt inni hånda mi for å skape litt tekstur og dimensjon.

I have enjoyed playing with the newest papers in the "Beautiful Memories 2" Collection. They are utterly beautiful and I must add that I'm very happy with the way this card turned out. :) I felt a bit guilty for curling up the papers to add a bit of texture and dimention. They are so beautiful!

Håper kortet mitt inspirerer og kanskje en dag så lager jeg en tutorial på hvordan du kan lage din egen stempel kollage med Inkido's herlige stempler. :)

I hope my card inspires and someday I maybe do a tutorial on how to make your own stamp collage with Inkido's awesome stamps. :)

Very red and sweet pink!

 I have a long blog post for you today! Hope you will stay on all the way down ;) Tomorrow the people of Sweden will celebrate "Midsommarafton" that´s a big celebration of the summer! We eat traditional summer food and dance silly dances around a big cross that we embillishment with green leafs and flowers. Sounds a bit crazy but I love this holiday!

Next page is a much softer one. Here I used the new and totally gorgeous collection Beutiful Memories II. I used a Stencil and white Gesso to get a light and airy feeling. Last I sprinkled my page with pink Rhinestones.

Hugs from Ulrika aka LillBlomman!

Here is some of the supplies from Inkido that I used for my pages:

Pure Bliss

Hello everyone - Kelly here..

I am enjoying the brand new Beautiful Memories 2 collection..the colors are absolutely gorgeous!

"Pure Bliss"

I have used the newly released Blue papers from the collection..(See the link below) I love this soft powder blue..and the sweet little bird images..

It is hard to see but I layered in strips of one of the pink papers, as well, along with some Inkido lace and a bit of a textured paper I had. Atop that I did some masking, lots of stamping with an Inkido script stamp that I love, and a bit of misting to get all of the colors just right.

I added in some of the butterflies from the first Beautiful Memories line, and stamped those with the same stamp. Lastly, some beautiful Inkido flowers and stick pins to top it all off!

Did you see the exciting news yesterday? If not - click the image below for a chance to win the brand new Beautiful Memories II  Blue and Yellow papers!

Thanks for stopping in today!! Have a great weekend!

GD Gerry and her lovely projects with Inkido

Hi!
It's Bellaidea today with our fanatstic Guest, Gerry!

Gerry van Gent was born and raised in Bulgaria where she studied at a Russian High School and graduated English Philology at the university of Blagoevgrad. She worked as an English teacher and translator already for a few years when she decided to study another language - Dutch. Since 2002 she has been living in The Netherlands where she started a family with her Dutch husband. Gerry is a full time mom to Alexander and Leanne.
Gerry has been involved into different hobbies like knitting, embroidery, drawing and playing the piano. Since 2009 she got seriously involved into paper crafting. She designs proudly for leading companies in the paper crafting industry and she gives workshops when the time allows her. She has been published in magazines and catalogues.
Gerry`s style is romantic, shabby chic and sometimes you can find touches of vintage. She creates mostly scrapbook layouts 12" x 12" but you can sometimes see her creating cards and altered items. Her main inspiration comes from her kids but she also draws inspiration from the products she`s working with.

Let me show you what Gerry made for us;

We love how she used Inkido products!

Dear Gerry, thank you so much for your lovely projects, we hope you will make some more for us in the future!

My Bio

 Hi there!! My name is Nadia Cannizzo, I am 34 and I live in Sydney, Australia. I was born and raised in Greece and moved to Australia with my family when I was 11 without so much as 2 words of English! Yes..it was tough!!  I have been married to my Italian husband for 14 years now, and that is where my surname comes from! I have 2 young MUCH loved and MUCH wanted daughters, Maria Elena (6 ) and Ioanna (4). Being a mum is what I always wanted to be and nothing fulfils me more than my children. I know it sounds cliché but it REALLY is what I love doing above all else! I feel incredibly lucky to have 2 healthy children. By day I am a Primary School teacher and have been teaching since the year 2000. I LOVE my work and cannot imagine me being anything else, although...I did have dreams of being an airhostess once upon a time since I love travelling LOL! But that dream quickly vanished when I had my gorgeous children. I have been scrapping/papercrafting for about 3 years now and I mostly create layouts and cards although I definitely enjoy Off The Page projects just as much!! In the 3 years I have been involved in scrapping, I have been fortunate enough to be on a variety of Design Teams ranging from challenge blogs, to manufacturers, to kit clubs! I try my hand at anything! I am currently very lucky to be on the team at Scraps Of Elegance kit club, and the following manufacturers-  Riddersholm Design and 13arts as well as an ongoing Guest Designer spot with 2Crafty chipboard.   I am also crazy about making sketches and journalling on my pages as much as I can , so in March of 2011 I started my very own sketch challenge blog called Once Upon A ...Sketch. When not creating, I absolutely LOVE cooking, spending time with my family, and ...believe it or not cleaning! I am a biiiiiit of a clean freak. My motto in life is "Nothing is impossible" and I rarely take no for an answer. Here is my blog: www.samnadia.blogspot.com

Materials List

Papers: Inkido Beautiful Memories collection

Stamps: Inkido Nature Stamp: Foliage 5

I first stamped the image of the Nature Stamp: Foliage #5 on my background and then used the Prima brick mask to create another image on top.

I then placed and glued my chipboard where I wanted it to show and with thick acrylic paint and a sponge , I painted the chipboard while it was stuck down on the background paper making sure the paint went around the area well. 

I like to dab some white paint on the edge of the leaves or flowers. I think it gives it a uniform look. 

 

 This has been a fave find of mine lately, the Sizzix birdcage embossing folder. I got this idea from my always inspiring friend Gerry Van Gent, when I saw it on one of her layouts ages ago. Once you emboss the image, you just need to cut around it and then what I like to do is sand it with a soft sand paper to age it a little and give it more definition. 

Now here is a card I made with the same collection! Yes ..see how many different colour combinations you can get out of just 1 collection? 

Dear Nadia, thank you so much for your beautiful work!
Dear Followers, Nadia will share more projects with us this Summer!
