Wedding anniversary card

My husband and I just celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary on Dec. 6th. Amazing how times fly. I made him this card which could easily be used as a Valentine's Day card as well:
I only used regular cardstock for this card, no designer papers. I used dies from Marianne Design (the bear) and Sue Wilson (the hearts). I don't know which brand the stamp is from.

We celebrated the day by going to the movies just the 2 of us, where we saw "A star is born". I am not a fan of Lady Gaga, but I think she did really well with the acting in this movie and there is a lot of good music in it.

Blue birthday card

Rebecca was invited to two of her class mates birthday party and so I made two identical cards for her to bring. Apparantly blue is the "in"-color when you reach 9, I also remember that from my oldest daughter, so different shades of blue plus white cardstock is what I used for these 2 cards, and since they are identical, I'll just show one:
For this card I used almost all the dies from the "Fancy Nesting Circles" from Card Making Magic. I also used the Spellbinders Matting Basics 6x6 and Marianne Design COL1347 (number) and I decorated it with some halfpearls from my stash.

Besides the dies I used an embossing folder with brick pattern (don't know the brand) and a topper from Dixi Craft. For decorations I used snow paste from Pentart and some halfpearls from my stash.

Golden Christmas card

Another easy solution if you need to make a quick Christmas card:
I used gold glitter cardstock, gold cardstock and white cardstock. For the squares I used Spellbinders Matting basics 6x6, the candles are the "Glowing candles" die from Memory Box, and the words are a die from Dan Dies.

Christmas decorations

As usual this year I made 2 Christmas decorations with candlelights, a calendar decoration and an advent decoration, this is how they look, sorry about the quality of the pictures, the lighting is very poor at the moment:


A calendar decoration is very traditionally here in Denmark, it is a way to count down to Christmas. Each day you light up the candle until you have burnt it down just past today's date.
An advent decoration is also very traditionally to light up the last 4 Sundays before Christmas. You start with lighting up the first candle on the first Sunday, but don't burn it all the way down. The next Sunday you light up 2 candles and so on.

Christmas card with snowman

Another Maja Design Christmas card:
Again I used my scrap pieces, and even though I have used a lot of that recently I still seem to have a lot left. For the snow flakes I used white card stock and dies from Dovecraft "Christmas Basics snow flakes". I added a few halfpearls for decoration.

Christmas card with stars

For this card I found the inspiration on Pinterest.
Again I used Maja Design scrap pieces. The stars where made with Crea-Nest-Lies XXL no. 19 stars. The square is cut out with Spellbinders Matting Basics 6x6. And I added a few halfpearls from my stash.
