Isabellas birthday card

June 5th it was Isabellas 17th birthday, and as usual I made her a card, this time at the very last minute, since I had been pretty busy the week up to her birthday. Because of the Christmas stocking I had made for her, I had to get my sewing machine fixed, and so now that it is working again, I wanted to try to use it for stiching a card. I think it turned out okay, and I might use it again. Here is the result:

Materials used:

Craft-o-clock - Morning Dreams II, 6x6 collection

Grey and white cardstock

Gittes Eget Design - Tillykke die

NHH Design - leaves

Flowers from WOC

Grey soft tulle

Playing with Distress Ink

For this card I was playing with my Distress Inks to see if I could blend them together in a nice way, I think it worked out okay, but I would like to get my hands on some Distress Oxides since it should be easier with them. I think the card turned out okay, so I will try to make in colors suitable for males as well.

Materials used:

White cardstock

Gittes Eget Design dies – Frame and Tillykke

Distress Inks – Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Candied Apple

Halfpearls from my stash

Birthday card

Lately it has been really nice weather here in DK, so I must admit I haven't spend much time at my craft table, when it is this warm I prefer to be outside, and it can be a bit tricky to sit with paper etc. outside, so instead I have being working on my chrochet skills, because that is easy to do outside, but today I will show you this birthday card I made for a friend:

Christening cake for Laura

My boss had a baby girl back in October and March 14th it was time for her christening and he asked me if I would make the cake for them. It has been a long time since I last made one, so I must say I am a bit out of practice but I accepted anyway. The cake was ordered to be for 35 people but due to the Corona virus they ended up being a lot less, so I think the top cake went into the freezer. Here's the cake which I think turned out really pretty:

The cake consisted of 2 layers of yellow cake (drømmekage med et twist) and 1 layer of chocolate cake. The mousses were Bailey's mousse and raspberry mousse and I covered the cakes with SMBC before I put the homemade fondant on. All the decorations are also made in fondant, so it is all edible.

A good bye card for a dear colleague

Back in November my company decided to let some people go, so we had to say good bye to a very sweet colleague. We gave her a farewell present and I made this card for her:

Materials used:

Lemoncraft - House of roses collection & Gossamer Blue collection + butterflies

Anemone chipboard

China dies

Flowers - WOC and my stash

Dusty green card stock

Ribbon

Ranger Liquid Pearls - Ballerina

It's been a long time...

...since my last blogpost. The reason for this is, that back in November we had a water damage, and it did absolutely nothing good for my creative mojo. The repairs are still going on, but at least they are almost done now, tomorrow the last thing will be done in our shower and the last floor put down in our hallway. This means that on Thursday for the first time in 3 months we will be able to shower indoor again. AND we can finally get rid of the toilet/shower wagon that has been standing in our driveway for 3 months. It has not been a fun experience and I would never have guessed that it would take so long, but the floors had to dry for a very long time, before anything else could get done. But now we can finally see an end to it, and my creative mojo has started to come back. I did however make a few things during the last few months, and here is a birthday card I made for a colleague:

Materials used:

Lemoncraft papers - Yesterday collection

Kraft/recycled paper, white and dusty pink card stock

Anemone chipboard

China dies

Lace and lace flowers from China

Dusty pink buttons
