Quick Christmas Cards

Last weekend I went to visit my Godparents, they are both over 80 so they are at high risk when it comes to the Corona virus, but they are good at staying at home and taking care of each other. It was really good to see that they are doing great and coping well with everything that is going on. I had made a little box with some different cards for them, so they have some for different occacions. Among them were some Christmas cards which I will show today. All the cards are made with papers that came with at magazine from Hunkydory - Cardmaking collection.

Other materials used:

Gold and Silver cardstock

White and light teal cardstock

Dies - Marianne Design, Yvonne Creatief, Card Making Magic, China die and Simple and Basic

Stars from my stash

The banner with "Glædelig Jul" is cut from an old Christmas card
and a leftover piece from a braided star

A new layout of William

I have not made as many layouts of my son, as I have of the girls, so I thought it was about time I made another one for him. And since Maja Design has some great boyish papers I decided to use some of that with some school pictures from 3 years ago. And considering that I think it is really hard to make masculine cards and layouts I am very pleased with the outcome.

Baby card

One of my colleagues had a baby boy at the end of March. The little boy wasn't due until here in May, so they were at the hospital for a while, but now they are at home. Due to the virus my colleague had to stay at the hospital the whole time, so we haven't seen him yet, and don't know when we will see him again, since we are all pretty much still work at home, but I have made a card now for them, so it is ready for when we can give him the baby's gift. This also gave me the oppurtunity to try out a new die set that I got for my birthday – the baby clothes line from Marianne Design. I am really happy with the outcome of this card, it's definitely one I will be making again.
