walkof10_800x600.jpg

 Februari närmar sig sitt slut och det är tid att presentera våra val av alster till denna månads Walk of Fame. Vi hittade som vanligt en hel massa otroligt vackra kort och andra skapelser när vi letade runt och vi har nu nöjet att visa de mästerverk vi denna gång valt ut till 'WoF'


February is coming to an end and it's time to present to you our choices of creations for Walk of Fame. We did have the most incredible journey looking for cards. It's a pleasure to show our choices for 'WoF'.


Det er tid til at præsentere de kort vi har fundet til Walk of Fame. Som vi plejer, finder vi de mest fantastiske kreationer ude i blogverdenen og det er en stor ære at præsentere kortene vi har valgt til WoF.

DT -Vilda Stamps

DT article - Vilda Stamps


It´s a great honor for us to have the opportunity to work with stamps from Vilda Stamps!
They have a wide range of different stamps which fits most people.
Please visit their webshop if you're looking for something new and exceptionally.
We promise you, you will not be disappointed!
(they even have Dutch, Finish, English and some German textstamps!!)


Here are some words from Vilda Stamps;
 (first in swedish, then in English)

 "Vilda Stamps HB startades av Puck, Ulrica & Christine som brinner för kort- och scrapbooking.
Vårt mål var att kunna erbjuda kortmakare och scrappare ett brett sortiment av unika stämplar.
Vi slog upp portarna till vår e-butik i maj 2010 med en kollektion på ett
100-tal egendesignade motiv.

Butikens sortiment består endast av våra omonterade stämplar,
akrylklossar och ett och annat EZ-foam.

Idag tio månader senare består vår kollektion av över 600 motiv,
vilka vi själva tillverkar från designerns skiss, eller i vissa fall kunders
idéer till färdigtryckta omonterade stämplar.
Detta gör att vi har förhållandevis korta leveranstider till alla våra kunder.

Vi är väldigt lyckligt lottade med våra duktiga designers som skapar till oss,
vilket gör att vi har en otrolig bredd av olika sorters motiv, allt från kaxigt till gulligt.

Vi försöker även att erbjuda våra kunder, ca 4 gånger om året, ett hemligt kit med olika teman,
vilket blivit otroligt uppskattat.

Idag driver vi inte bara vår e-butik, vi grossar även alla våra motiv och
akrylklossar till ett 40-tal butiker över hela världen.

Vi medverkar på mässor och träffar både i Sverige och utomlands, då vi tycker
att kundkontakten är viktig
samt för att få feedback på vad vi gör, och vad kunderna önskar/saknar.

Parallellt med e-butiken har vi en inspirationsblogg som är väl värt ett
besök: http://vildastamps.com/blog där vårt underbara duktiga DT-team
lägger in ny inspiration varje dag.

Välkommen att besöka oss i vår e-butik www.vildastamps.com eller på
mässor som vi närvarar vid, mer info om var och när finner ni i vår e-butik."

Hälsningar

Team Vilda

Puck, Ulrica & Christine


"Vilda Stamps HB was started by Puck, Ulrica & Christine
with a passion for cards and scrapbooking.
Our goal was to offer cardmakers and scrapbookers a wide range of unique stamps.

We opened the doors to our webshop in May 2010 with a collection of 100 self-designed motifs.

In our store you can find our unmounted stamps, acrylic blocks and EZ-foam.

Today, ten months later, our collection consists of over 600 designs, which
we manufactures the designer's sketch, or in some cases, customers
ideas to the finished printed unmounted stamps.
This means that we have relatively short delivery times to all our customers.

We are very fortunate with our talented designers who creates for us,
which means we have an incredible width of different kinds of motives,
ranging from cocky to sweet.
Four times a year we also offer our customers a secret kit with different themes, 
which have become incredibly popular!
Today we are not only having our webshop, we also sell all our motives and
acrylic blocks to about 40 stores worldwide.

We participate in conventions and crops in both Sweden and abroad, because we think that the contact with the costumer is important.
And it´s also great to get feedback on what we do and what customers wants /missing.

In parallel with the webshop, we have an inspirational blog that is well worth a
visit: http://vildastamps.com/blog where our wonderful talented DT Team
add new inspiration every day.

You are also welcome to visit us at our webshop www.vildastamps.com or
fairs that we attend, more details about when and where, you will find in our webshop."

Spring with Pion Design

We are back with another article using the gorgeous papers and die cut sheets
from 

This time it is Aija, Donna and me (Jorunn)
that have had the wonderful opportunity to play,
and we have had so much fun! 

You have met Pion Design and Jenny here before, and you also know we love 
Pion Design wonderful collections, and this is no exception...
The sheets goes perfectly together, and with small pictures and die cuts in the same collections,
you can also find the perfect details for our cards and projects. 
It is almost hard to stop, because we want it all in our cards...lol...


Did you see the article the Swedish designers made for us earlier this month;
They got to play with the love theme and the new released collection of papers:
"Från mitt hjärta"

Today we have played with the
collection
"Sagan om Våren"
and we have also used the vintage pictures from
"Från Mormors Vind"

Here is what Pion design says about their collections;

Vår nya kollektion Sagan om Våren
Pion Design har det stora nöjet att presentera vår femte kollektion med egenproducerade scrapbookingpapper. ”Sagan Om Våren” andas längtan och förväntan inför den hoppfulla årstiden våren. Färgerna för tanken till en krispig tulpanbukett med milda toner av rosa, lila och grönt. Himmelsblått och brunt är också med och bland motiven finner man små blad, vårblommor och fjärilar. På klipparken finns gammeldags påskbilder, vykort och vackra bårder. ”Sagan om Våren” harmoniserar i både färg och stil med våra tidigare kollektioner. Det går alltså utmärkt att kombinera dessa papper med ”Förgät Mig Ej” och ”Från Mitt Hjärta”, 
givetvis med vintagebilderna 
”Från Mormors Vind”.

Our new collection Sagan om Våren
Pion Design has the great pleasure to introduce to you our 5th collection of our line of scrap booking papers; "Sagan om Våren".
Feel the urge and anticipation for the wonderful time of year we are heading for. The colors leads our thoughts to a fresh bouquet of tulips with soft nuances of pink, lilac and green. Blue and brown are also a part of the color scheme and here are also images with 
small leafs, spring flowers and butterflies. 
On the die cut sheets there are old fashion easter images, tags and wonderful borders. 
This collection id in harmony with both colors and style with our previous collections and 
matches them perfectly.
These papers can easily be combined with papers from ”Förgät Mig Ej” and  
”Från Mitt Hjärta”, and alsor with the vintage pictures
”Från Mormors Vind”.


Från Mormors Vind
Kollektionen "Från Mormors Vind" består av ljuvliga klippark med vintagebilder daterade från förra seklets början. Med fynd och inspiration från mormors vind kan vi nu presentera sex stycken klippark i olika teman. Ur gamla gömmor har vi funnit bilder från en vintersaga och motiv till stämningsfulla julbilder. Ett annat ark pryds av underbara små sötnosar. Det finns även motiv med gratulationer och vårhälsningar. Och vad vore vintagebilder utan kärleksfulla motiv? Med en mjuk sepiaton passar dessa bilder utmärkt till våra tidigare och kommande mönsterpapper.

From Grandma's Wind
The collection "Från Mormors Vind" is several set of vintage pictures put together on a die cut sheet. The pictures are all from the past century. With great inspiration from Grandma we can now introduce to you 6 sheets of die cuts with different themes. 
From old hiding places, we have found some wonderful cute pictures. There are even pictures with Congratulations and spring theme, and also did you see our vintage pictures with love theme?
With soft sepia colors these pictures will go perfectly with our previous and upcoming collections of pattern papers.
