Birthday card for my sister

Tuesday the 12th it was my sisters birthday so I made a card for her inspired by Maja Designs March Moodboard which looks like this:

You can almost smell the spring when you look at these pictures. Here is my card:

Materials used:

Maja Design: 6x6 paper pads "Coffee in the Arbour" and "Vintage Spring Basics"

Spellbinders die: 6x6 Matting Basics

Joy Crafts: Flower Border

China dies

Flowers from WOC and my stash

Lace, buttons and halfpearls from my stash

A funny detail is the little calender from the paper pads, it fits perfectly with the months this year which is why I drew a cross on the 12th - my sisters birthday.

I participate in Maja Designs Mood Board challenge with this card, and you can read more about it HERE.

Golden anniversary card

A colleague of mine asked me if I could make a card for his parents who had been married for 50 years, here that is called gold wedding anniversary. Only request was that there was a prison theme, since the present was a stay in a former prison, which has been turned into a hotel.

I used papers from Maja Designs "Vintage Romance" collection, white and gold cardstock. The image I found on Google. I used the following dies: Sue Wilson - frame from "Happily ever after", Nellie Snellen "Guldbryllup" and Joy Crafts 6002/0252.

Confirmation card for Katrine

For this card I used papers from Lemoncrafts "Heart painted" 6x6 collection, plus brown and white cardstock. I used dies from Joy Craft (letters), Spellbinders D-Lites (cross) and Tattered Lace (border). The stamps are from DixiCraft. The image is from Pinterest, soccer ball from Google, flowers from WOC, lace from China and my stash and halfpearls are also from my stash. Here's the card:

Card for a double birthday.

My colleagues son and his girlfriend held their birthday party together and my colleague asked me, if I could make a card that represented both of their interests, which were movies (his) and parrots/parakeets (her). I created this card:

I used papers from Maja Design "Ska vi ta en Fika" collection. The squares are handcut, distressed and inked with "Vintage Photo" from Tim Holtz. I also tore a piece of paper and inked the edges of that. I used some cheese cloth which I inked with 2 different inks - "Vintage Photo" and "Wilted Violet" - and put that behind my filmstrip, which was cut with a China die. The pictures of the birds was some I found on Google. The banners are cut with a die from the "Christina Collection" from Card Making Magic. For the letters I used a die from Joy Crafts, Happy Birthday is a Tattered Lace die. The banner, letters and Happy Birthday are all slightly inked with "Vintage Photo". Flowers are from WOC, chipboard from Scrapek and the halfpearls are from my stash.

Pram card for a christening

A colleague of mine resently got her second grandchild, and for her first grandchild I made a pram card (which I haven't shown here yet), and so she asked if I could do that again. She would like the card to be in green, since the little girl is red haired.

For this pram I used papers from Lemoncrafts 'Everyday Spring' collection and white cardstock, and for the pillow and blanket I used paper from a Joy Crafts 8x4 paper pad called ' Baby bloc'. I have used dies from Nellie Snellen, Presscut, Joy Crafts and Tattered Lace. I decorated the pram with lace, halfpearls and 2 splits from my stash. The little blanket is closed with half a velcro dot, and in there, you can write a little greeting.

Maskuline birthday cards

July 22nd two of my colleagues turned respectively 40 and 50 and I offered to make their cards, which no one objected to. I made each card personally.


First the card for Stig, who plays electric guitar in our company band:

The background paper is from a paper pad from Joy Crafts, which only has sheet music. The white, silver and black cardstock as well as the black corrugated paper is from my stash. The guitar I found on Pinterest and is fuzzycut. I have used dies from Spellbinders (6x6 Matting Basics) and Marianne Design (40 and the star). The banner is cut by hand. I decorated it with some cheese cloth, some buttons and some black halfpearls.

The second card is for Jesper, who used to be a mechanic and still likes to work on cars, he likes to fix things and ride his bike:

For this card I used grey cardstock from my stash, paper, stickers, text and chipboard from Kaisercraft. The topper is from Dixi Craft. I have only used dies from the 6x6 Matting Basics from Spellbinders. I decorated it with a few square halfpearls and a sticker (Tillykke) from my stash. 

Wedding card in blue and white

I got a reguest for a wedding card, and the colors was up to me, so I decided to use the colors from Lemoncrafts moodboard:

This is the card I made for the wedding:

And the inside of the card:

For this card I used papers from Lemoncrafts Gossamer Blue collection and some light blue cardstock. I used the following dies: Spellbinders 6x6 Matting Basics and Elegant Ovals, Joy Craft Sending Love, Decorative frames from Sue Wilsons Italian collection and a China die for the sprigs behind the flowers. The chipboard I think is from Anemone and it is painted with white Gesso and decorated with some light blue halfpearls from my stash. The flowers are from WOC. The edges of the paper are distressed and inked with Memento's Summer sky. And finally I used some cheese cloth which is also inked with Summer sky and some more halfpearls.

With this card I'm participating in Lemoncrafts challenge.

Another girly confirmation card

I had another order for a confirmation card for a girl, this time with a picture of the girl on her horse.

For this card I used papers from Lemoncraft's "Everyday's Spring" collection. It has some really nice green and pink papers, that fit very well together. Behind the picture I put some pink card stock from my stash. I have used dies from Spellbinders (the squares and the cross), Sue Wilson (the doily), Joy Crafts (the letters for the name) and Nellie Snellen (the circles and Konfirmation). All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the cheesecloth, half pearls and silver cross are all from my stash. The squares were distressed and inked with Distress Ink.

I also made two identical soccer themed confirmation cards, but apparently I forgot to take pictures of those, at least I can't seem to find them on neither my phone nor my tablet, which is a shame cause I would have liked to put them on the blog as well.

Confirmation card

I have had a few orders for cards for confirmations this year, this one was for a girl, and it just had to be girly, which it definitely was.

I have used papers from UHK Gallery and kraft paper. The picture I found on Pinterest. Flowers and lace is from WOC. The squares and the cross is cut out with Spellbinders dies, and for the word "Konfirmation" I used a die from Nellie Snellen. The letters for the name are cut out with a die from Joy Crafts. I colored the lace with a Spectrum Noir marker to get a very light pink color. The finishing touches are a ribbon (from my stash) and some cheesecloth. I'm very pleased with how this card turned out.
