Rebecca's cards

Rebecca, who is my youngest, has always been a very creative little soul, and when I started papercrafting, she immediately got very curious about it and wanted to play along. So when I found the Baby Blue die cutting machine from Tattered Lace at a very reasonable price, I decided to buy it for her for her birthday, which was back in July. If you don't know the machine, here is how it looks:

It is a very small little machine, the plates only measure about 7.5 x 16 cm, but she is very happy with it. I also bought some dies for her, and she has bought some herself as well. Here she is busy at work:

And here are some of the cards that she has made so far (with a little help from me):

Dusty green and white wedding card

Last month I was asked if I had time to make a wedding card, since one of my colleagues was going to a wedding. Only request was that the colors should be dusty green and white.

For this card I used papers from Maja Design - Vintage Romance (walk with me) and white cardstock. I distressed the edges and used Distress Ink - Bundled sage. I used one of my favorite dies from Spellbinders - Elegant Ovals and some chipboard from Anemone/Scrapek. The ribbon is vintage binding seam, which also was colored with Distress ink. The ribbon and flowers are from WOC, halfpearls and cheesecloth are from my stash.

Another card for a 50th birthday

Another colleague asked me to make a card for her brother who turned 50. The brother coaches a soccer team and likes red wine, so I tried to incorporate that in the card.

I have used papers from UHK Gallery from their LOFT Marina collection (Waves BS and Board). I inked the edges with Distress Ink - Vintage Photo - and the brown paper I distressed and tore the edges a little to make it look more like wood. The picture I found on Pinterest. I have used the following dies: Spellbinders - Matting basics 6x6, Presscut - circles, Marianne Design - numbers, Intricut - Doily and Nellie Snellen - letters. Besides that I have used cheesecloth, halfpearls, a soccer all chipboard and metal embellishments from my stash. The inside of the card:

Birthday cake to a teenager

Recently I made a cake as a surprise to a Mille who turned 14. Mille likes fantasy books especially "Klintespind" (Danish series) and Harry Potter. I chose to make a Klintespind theme with a few small Harry Potter elements:

The cake consists of 3 layers of chocolate cake, 1 layer of raspberry mousse and 1 layer of white chocolate mousse. I coated it with UCF and covered it with homemade fondant. For the web I used RI which I painted with silver edible paint.

50th birthday card

A colleague asked if I could make a birthday card for a friend that turned 50. The friend had biked to Paris, so he would like if somehow I could implement that in the card. I knew I had some paper that had Paris and the Eiffel Tower on it, and so I made this card:

From UHK Gallery I used the "Le Bistrot" paper from the "Allo Allo" collection and the small picture with the bike, and from Dovecraft I used papers from the 6×6 paper pad called "Sweet Paris". I have used dies from Spellbinders: Matting basics 6×6 and Elegant Ovals (inside the card), the Happy Birthday is from Tattered Lace, 50 is a magazine freebie die and for the leaves I used a China die. I inked the edges with Distress Ink - Vintage Photo, used flowers from WOC and some halfpearls from my stash.
Here is how the inside of the card look's like:

Grey and pink wedding card

Another colleague was getting married, and I was asked to make the wedding card. This time it was up to me which colors to use, so I went for pink and grey, inspired by the colors in Lemoncrafts September challenge.

For this card I used papers from Lemoncrafts Heart Painted and Just Love Me collections. I have only used dies from Sue Wilson this time, flowers are from WOC, fat silk ribbon, cheesecloth, halfpearls and lace is from my stash. Around the edges I have made some fake stitching.

30th birthday card with pepper

Here in Denmark it is a tradition that when somebody turns 30 and they haven't gotten married yet, they have to get pepper in some variation. So when my colleague turned 30 I added pepper to his card.

The paper with pepper corn is something I printed from the net, and besides that I used some black cardstock, white cardstock and red and black quilling strips. I used dies from Spellbinders Matting basics 6x6, Sentiments One and Labels 40 and the numbers are cut out with a Marianne Design die. I covered the numbers with glue and added grinded pepper to them, and even though I made this card more than 1 1/2 years ago, I still remember how much I was sneezing when I made the card 😊. Finally I added some pepper corns as decoration.
