Birthday cake to a teenager

Recently I made a cake as a surprise to a Mille who turned 14. Mille likes fantasy books especially "Klintespind" (Danish series) and Harry Potter. I chose to make a Klintespind theme with a few small Harry Potter elements:
The cake consists of 3 layers of chocolate cake, 1 layer of raspberry mousse and 1 layer of white chocolate mousse. I coated it with UCF and covered it with homemade fondant. For the web I used RI which I painted with silver edible paint.

50th birthday card

A colleague asked if I could make a birthday card for a friend that turned 50. The friend had biked to Paris, so he would like if somehow I could implement that in the card. I knew I had some paper that had Paris and the Eiffel Tower on it, and so I made this card:

From UHK Gallery I used the "Le Bistrot" paper from the "Allo Allo" collection and the small picture with the bike, and from Dovecraft I used papers from the 6×6 paper pad called "Sweet Paris". I have used dies from Spellbinders: Matting basics 6×6 and Elegant Ovals (inside the card), the Happy Birthday is from Tattered Lace, 50 is a magazine freebie die and for the leaves I used a China die. I inked the edges with Distress Ink - Vintage Photo, used flowers from WOC and some halfpearls from my stash.
Here is how the inside of the card look's like:

Grey and pink wedding card

Another colleague was getting married, and I was asked to make the wedding card. This time it was up to me which colors to use, so I went for pink and grey, inspired by the colors in Lemoncrafts September challenge.
For this card I used papers from Lemoncrafts Heart Painted and Just Love Me collections. I have only used dies from Sue Wilson this time, flowers are from WOC, fat silk ribbon, cheesecloth, halfpearls and lace is from my stash. Around the edges I have made some fake stitching.

30th birthday card with pepper

Here in Denmark it is a tradition that when somebody turns 30 and they haven't gotten married yet, they have to get pepper in some variation. So when my colleague turned 30 I added pepper to his card.
The paper with pepper corn is something I printed from the net, and besides that I used some black cardstock, white cardstock and red and black quilling strips. I used dies from Spellbinders Matting basics 6x6, Sentiments One and Labels 40 and the numbers are cut out with a Marianne Design die. I covered the numbers with glue and added grinded pepper to them, and even though I made this card more than 1 1/2 years ago, I still remember how much I was sneezing when I made the card 😊. Finally I added some pepper corns as decoration.
