Konfirmasjon på kryss og tvers :)

Her kommer et lite livstegn fra meg, som sysler med konfirmasjoner og bursdager for tida. Jeg må ta litt av gangen her i bloggen, for nå står begivenhetene i kø... Sivert har jo en del kamerater som skal ha hilsninger, og det å skulle lage mange guttekort voldte meg en hel del hodebry før jeg fant ut at criss cross-kort var løsningen. Tenkte å vise dere to varianter her :)

I have made some crisscross cards for some of my son's friends, for their confirmations, and will show you two of them tonight. I found these cards so suitable for this occation - making many cards for boys was a bit of a headache for a while ;)

The first one is made of dark brown Bazzill and Basic Grey DP...

Just a tiny detail... the lovely chiffon ribbon is agift from sweet Angella :) At the bow I've also used some brown linen thread and some very-easy-home-made decor needles :)

Here's the card that is placed inside, I've used a grunge scroll stamp from Stempelglede around the edges here. The oval stamp has a confirmation greeting, and I've written the name of the confirmand, to make it personal and special for him :)

Jeg får stadig spørsmål om dette ovale stempelet :) Det er fra svenske Inkido, og selges så vidt jeg vet bare gjennom forhandlere. Jeg har kjøpt mitt på Penelopebutikken her i byen...

I sprayed Glimmer Mist "Walnut Gold" at the cardstock and the paper before stamping and writing, to get some nuances at this side. The paper strip with the name on, works as a belt around the inenr card...

... so the other side looks like this. The flower circles are cut from DP left overs.

Here's a picture just to show you how the card is placed loose in the "belt". You also see the edges of a bank note gift, which is fastened to the card with a beautiful paper clip from making memories :) 

At the back of this card I've written a little poem, that will be visible when the confirmand removes the money from the clip.

Håper dere skjønte denne litt "krøkkete" forklaringen på engelsk, men dette her er altså baksida av det kortet som ligger oppi "papirbeltet". Her har jeg skrevet Arnulf Øverlands hustavle, som vil komme frem når pengegaven fjernes. 

Kort nummer to - i samme stil, men litt annerledes likevel...

The other card is in the same style, but still a little different. This DP is also from Basic Grey, and the Prima flower is sprayed with the same Glimmer Mist as over. 

Have a lovely evening, thanks a lot for stopping by!

Håper dere får en fin kveld, alle sammen, og tusen takk for besøket :)
