October inspirations - Nicecrane

It is October, a month filled with all the wonderful colors of fall... and not to say the color pink to remind us and support the cause against breastcancer.... and the holiday all children (of all ages) never get enough of Halloween.... 
So today we the girls her at StampARTic where so lucky as to be sponsored by Nicecrane Designs with images that we used in all our different projects.

Det er oktober, en måned som er fylt med alle de herlige fargene av høsten.. og for ikke å glemme fargen rosa som hjelper oss å huske å støtte opp om saken mot brystkreft... og så den dagen som kommer mer og mer krypende inn på oss kalde nordboere og som barna bare elsker... Halloween så klart..

Så i dag har vi jentene i StampARTic vært så heldige å blitt sponset av fantastiske Nicecrane designs med digitale filer som vi kunne bruke på alle våre herlige prosjekter...


This is an example of one of the wonderful files you can get from Nicecrane Designs

Pink isn't really my color...but I couldn't resist using one of the beautiful vintage images for a image transfer. I have to admit that besides from the pink details in the picture and the organza ribbon it turned out to be a rather black "pink card".

Rosa är inte direkt "min färg" men jag kunde inte motstå att använda en av de vackra vintagebilderna till en "image transfer. Men jag får väl ändå erkänna att förutom de rosa detaljerna i bilden och organza bandet så blev mitt "rosa kort" väldigt svart....


I transferred the image to a piece of chipboard covered with ordinary tin foil.  A top coat of Decoart Patio paint Clearcoat. I love the effect of image transfer to tin foil, it really gives the picture an "inner glow" 

Bilden är överförd till en bit chipboard täckt med vanlig aluminium folie. Ett skyddande lager av Decoart Patio Paint Clearcoat.


The frame is also made from tin foil (glued to a piece of cardstock). I used an embossingfolder from Provo Craft/Cuttlebug and then applied several washes of Decoart Carbon Black acrylic 
paint to give it a weathered, aged look.

Ramen runt bilden är också alu folie limmad på cardstock och embossad i en folder från Provo Craft/Cuttlebug. Många väldigt tunna lager av svart akrylfärg från Decoart för att få ett patinerat, åldrat utseende.

Here is my pink card..
I have used Aleenes True Snow to make 3D feelings on the edges with a stecil from The Crafters Workshop, 3 sorts of ribbon/lca to make it feminin, Swirl die, a tag dies from Magnolia, and some Washitape from here and there..  :) And last but not least, the supercool image is from Nicecrane.

I don't make autumn cards very often, even though I really love the color of autumn! I sneaked in a little pumpkin on my card. For me it symbolise the autumn and harvest - not just halloween.

Det är inte så ofta jag gör höstkort, även om jag verkligen älskar höstens färger! Det fick smyga sin in en liten pumpa på kortet eftersom det för mig inte bara symboliserar halloween utan även höst och skördetid. 
All the lovely patterned papers + the pumpkin motive are from Nicecrane. I think the papers are ment to be lettersize from start, but I just made them 14x14 cm before I printed and got a pattern that works just fine on small cards. 

Alla dom härliga mönsterpapperen + motivet med pumpan kommer från Nicecrane. Mönsterpapperen är nog i lettersize från början, men jag drog ihop dom så dom blev 14x14 cm och skrev ut och fick på så sätt mönster som fungerade utmärkt på ett kort. 

I distressed the edges with an edge scraper + distress ink. Even the lace got a touch with the brown ink to become more "autumn-ish". 

Jag ruffade till kanterna på papperen med edge scraper + brunt distress ink. Även spetsen fick sig en omgång med den bruna dynan för att bli lite höstigare. 

The swirled paperflower is homemade from the patterned papers - it's super easy to cut yourself! I also put some brown distress ink on the orange flowers. Word stamp is from InkyWings. 

Den snurrade blomman klippte jag till själv av mösterpapperet och snurrade ihop och dom orange blommorna blev lite brunt distressade dom med. Textstämpeln är från InkyWings.

I had so much fun creating with my images from Nicecrane... They are so versatile and fabulous to work with, and one image can me used in so many different ways...  First of all I want to show you a card I made with the topic of pink and breastcancer in mind.. I actual went down to my beach and got some shells to use.

Jeg hadde det utrolig morsomt med alle de herlige bildene fra Nicecrane.. De kan brukes til så utrolig mye forskjellige og varieres i det uendelige... Det første jeg vil vise dere er ett kort jeg laget med tanke på rosa og brystkreft.. Jeg gikk faktisk ned på stranda og plukket skjell for å bruke på kortet mitt og det var så moro..

As you can see I also played with some mists, paints, mediums and more... I just had a blast..

Og som du ser så lekte jeg med mister, maling, mediums og mye mer.. jeg hadde det helt utrolig moro...


For my second project I just had to make one of the wonderful Halloween cones you get from Nicecrane.. they are jus so fun to play with... This cone I have filled with some scrappingcandy as you see...  I have also put on a coat of crackle paint, dabbed over with black distress ink and used a damp cloth to take off the ink from the top... so that the cracks really shows...

Til mitt andre prosjekt så måtte jeg bare ta en av de herlige Halloween cones du får hos Nicecrane.. bare å skrive ut fra data, skjære til og brette... så enkelt og så herlige.. Denne har jeg fylt med litt scrappegodterier... for det er jo det vi papirlekere liker... Jeg har også tatt på ett lag med crackle Paint, Clear rock candy, dabbet over med distress black soot og tørket av overskuddet som la seg på toppen... slik at sprekkene virkelig skulle synes..


 Pink is actually one of my favorite colors. So for this project I wanted to make a Art Journal page. I use the Vintage Vanity journal from Prima. Great for those not so big projects. I fell in love with this Victorian Art collection Pack. And the image i choosed, is perfect for The Pink month in my mind.
Rosa er faktisk en av mine favorittfarger. Så for dette prosjektet ville jeg gjerne lage en ArtJournal side. Jeg bruker The Vintage Vanity journalen fra Prima. Jeg falt fullstendig for dette motivet fra Victorian Art Collection Pack. Og dette motivet passer jo helt perfekt til den rosa måneden, synes jeg.



First I used mod pogde to adhere the image. Then I took a cheesecloth and glued down with mod podge and I was generous because I wanted the texture. I had some gesso over the egdes and the cheese cloth before I misted it with Lindys Stamp Gang mist. I used some texture paste and one of TH stencils to create the "sun" in the upper left corner. Then I used some Viva decor- gold paint and some Caran D`Ache neocolor and faber castell to make some depth. And finally adhedered some embellishments to it. So a huge Thanks fot Nicecrane Design for this beautiful image.
Jeg brukte mod pogde for å lime bildet på siden. Deretter tok jeg en osteklut og limte på, var skikkelig raus med mod pogden for å skape litt mønster. Så hadde jeg litt gesso rundt kantene på bildet og på ostekluten. før jeg sprayet med Lindys Stamp Gang mist.  Jeg brukte også litt texture paste og stencil fra TimHolst for å lage "sol" i øver venstre hjørne. Der brukte jeg både Viva Decor gullmaling og Caran D`Ache vannløselige oljekritt og ikke minst Gelatos for å skape dypde. Tilslutt pynta jeg med blomster og annen pynt fra stæshet mitt.

The images from Nicecrane are absolutely adorable and I had so much fun creating with them. So, I was inspired by autumn colours, different shades of brown and green. I also love fairies as you might have seen on my projects before and this little girl was so cute sitting quietly and speaking to her friend, the frog.

Motiven från Nicecrane är helt underbara och jag hade så kul när jag fick skapa med dem. Jag inspirerades av höstfärger, olika nyanser av brunt och grönt. Jag älskar älvor som ni kanske har sett i mina tidigare projekt och jag tyckte den här lilla flickan var så söt när hon satt och pratade med sin kompis grodan.



 In honor of breast cancer awareness month (October)
I decided to create a pink card with one of the Pin Ups from the
Colorful Pin Ups collection from Nicecrane Designs

Oktober er en rosa måned.
Og dette kortet er laget til ære for brystkreftsaken. På kortet har jeg brukt
en av Pin Up'ene fra Colorful Pin Ups Collection - til Nicecrane Designs


I fell in love the moment I saw these cool oldschool pinupgirls at Nicecrane and knew I wanted to do something with them. Just as Angelica Im not a pinkish girl, so I decided to use the pink as an accent colour. I based my card on a swing flip card but turned it and glued it together. The base is just a cardstock and on top of that a lot of leftovers (even some pieces you would have thrown away),woodcogs from Prima and some layers of acrylic paints. The photomat behind the pinupgirl is made from metallictape with some black gesso and another leftover piece in pink. 

Jag föll direkt när jag såg de här oldshool pinupperna hos Nicecrane. De är supercoola. Precis som Angelica är inte jag en rosa person så jag valde att använda färgen som accent. Grunden för mitt kort är ett swing flip kort som jag har vänt och sen limmat ihop en aning. Ovanpå det har jag limmat massa restbitar och skrot och sen målat med ett par lager akrylfärg. Fotomattan bakom pinuppan består av ett lager med embossad metalltape med lite svart gesso och en rosamönstrad restbit. 




Hösten är min favoritårstid, jag fullkomligt älskar denna tiden på året. Färgerna är verkligen inspirerande. Bakgrunden på mitt kort är gjort med collage samt bandage som jag färgat in. Har även embossat med flera olika färger. Panelerna är gjorda med Ecoline på glossy ark. Swirlen är målad med Lumiere som jag hettat upp för att få bubblor. Rub n' buff på för highlights. 

This is really my favourite time, I simply love autumn. I find the colours really inspiring. The background on my card is made with collage and bandage that I inked. I also embossed it with several colours. Panels are made with Ecoline on glossy card. The swirl is painted with Lumiere and heated to get the bubbles that I highlighted with rub n' buff.
