Butterfly card

In the fall I purchased a hot foil machine, and when I started to play with it I unfortunately discovered that I needed a new die cutting machine, since the one I had didn't put an even pressure on the plates. So recently I bought a new die cutting machine and since then I have made several cards with hot foil on them. This one I think turned out really pretty.


Materials used:
White cardstock
Rose gold mirror card
Simple and Basics dies
Gittes Eget Design dies
Spellbinders hot plates
Simple and Basics hot plates
Spellbinders Rose Gold hot foil
Spellbinders Prism hot foil

Using your leftover scrap pieces

I have a tendency to save pretty much all of my scrap pieces, because you never know, when they might come in handy. And then about a week ago I saw on Facebook this really cool card made out of leftovers, so I had to try that myself. It is super easy so I made both a birthday card and a Christmas card.


Materials used:
Scrap leftovers and gold cardstock
Simple and Basic dies
Gittes Eget Design dies

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)
Kraft cardstock
China dies - 50
Dixi Craft dies - alphabeth

I also made a birthday card for him. As always I think it is hard to make cards for men, but I am happy with how it turned out.

Materials used:
Pion Design - Mr. Tom's Treasures
Simple and Basics - Slim card set
Gittes Eget Design - Tillykke, Basis Rektangler & Flag
Marianne Design - numbers (COL1347)
China die - frame around picture
