Christmas card

I have really been trying to use my Maja Design scrap pieces lately, since I have a lot of those, and that also goes for this card:

It was a very easy card to make and these are the dies I used:

Spellbinders – Matting basics 6x6

Sue Wilson – Winter trees (Festive collection)

DixiCraft – MD0045

Marianne Design – LR0482

Dan Dies – God Jul

I used some Stickles "Frosted Lace" for the trees and the snow hills to add some snow glitter. Besides the paper from Maja Design, I used some white and shiny gold card stock.

Box for Christmas cards

Part of my birthday present for Grethe was a box with 6 christmas cards in it. I used a box which had contained a gift certificate and decorated the front with a Christmas theme:

Again I used leftover pieces from Maja Design, for the deers I used Sue Wilsons "Deer family" from the Festive Collection. I added a few star halfpearls for decoration.

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.
