Birthday card and survival kit boks for Kim

Back in September my colleague Kim turned 50, but it happened right after we all got sent home to work from our home offices again, so we didn't get a chance to give him his gifts and celebrate him until here in October, where we all had to go to the same company course. To make him feel old - I know, we are such nice colleagues 😁 - I had made him a survival kit box which contained items that will come in handy when you get old. Inspiration to the items I found on Google, and then I found a wooden box at Søstrene Grene to hold all of the things. Of course I couldn't pass up the chance of decorating the box, so I found some papers from UHK Gallery to decorate it with. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures from the side, so you can only see the lid of the box. Here is how it turned out:

Materials used:

UHK Gallery - Weekend collection (Friday Dinner, both sides)

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.
