Birthday card for Grethe

My other sweet colleague Grethe also just had her birthday, for her I made this card:

Again I just Maja Design papers, but some leftover pieces but also some from the Celebration collections 6x6 paperpad. I also use some straws, lace flowers from China, halfpearls and flowers from WOC.

I am still here...

...but we moved in September, and so my craft stuff was packed away for a while, and after I unpacked and made my crafting area ready I had a hard time getting started again. But lately I have been very busy, so it is time to start blogging again.


My sweet colleague Sofie had her birthday in the middle of november and I made her this card, solely with leftover Maja Design papers:

I tore some of the paper and some I distressed. I decorated with a few splashes of Lindys Stamp Gang "Sidewalk chalk" and some pink paillettes.

Bike card

One of my colleagues, who's also a spinning instructor on one of our teams, has unfortunately decided to quit, since she got a new job. The people from her Tuesday class (me among others) decided to get her a farewell basket with some goodies, and I made a card for her as well. This is probably the closest I get to make CAS cards, since I usually decorate them more. Here is the card:

I have used grey, pink and white cardstock plus paper from Lemoncrafts "Daydream" collection. I think the picture is from Google, the squares are cut with Matting basics 6x6 from Spellbinders, the frame is a die from China, and the bike is from DixiCraft. The card is decorated with grey and pink halfpearls.

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.

Silver anniversary card

My colleague Allan and his wife just celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary (aka silver anniversary) last week. Of course they were getting a present from us, his colleagues, and I made this card for them:

I used paper from "Crelando" (found it at a Lidl grocery store), white and silver cardstock. The dies are from Joy Crafts (6002/0252), Sue Wilson (frame from Happily Ever After) and an alphabet and number die from a Die Cutting Essentials magazine.
The picture is from Pion Design and flowers are from WOC.

Family layout

Recently I made a layout with a picture of my husband together with his siblings and his mom. It was taken on my husband and his twin sister's birthday several years ago. Here is the layout:

I really had fun making this layout and I am very happy with how it turned out. I used papers from Maja Design ("Worn Indigo" from the Denim & Friends collection and "Stark och Fri" from the Crea Diem collection + a piece from the 6x6 Denim & Friends paper pad). The paper was first covered with clear gesso and when that dried I added some white gesso all around the edge of the papers. I used a stencil from TCW called "Mini sketch grid" and added some modelling paste. The ornaments chipboard pieces are from Scrapek and covered with white gesso and a Lindys Stamp Gang spray - Flat Fabio Kissin Kenickie Coral. The chipboard letters are from Craft Emotion and covered with My Mojito green from Lindys Stamp Gang. Flowers are from WOC and China. Buttons, butterflies, jewellery pieces and art stones are from my stash. Here are some close-ups:

With this layout I participate in Scrap from your heart's challenge no. 23: Anything goes. You can read more about their challenge HERE.

Card for a baby girl

I bought some new paper from a company called Piatek Trzynastego (Polish brand) and they have some really amazing paper. I bought a 6x6 paperpad called "Cute & Co" and it is perfect for baby/kids cards. Here is the card:

I also used white and black cardstock. I have used dies from Spellbinders - Elegant Ovals and Matting Basics 6x6, Marianne Design - giraffe, Banner with letters - China die. Halfpearls, ribbon and Tillykke sticker is from my stash.

With this card I participate in Scrap from your hearts challenge no. 23: Anything goes. You can read more about the challenge HERE.
