Baby card

A while ago a colleague of mine had a baby boy, so of course I volunteered to make the card from all of us. This is what I made:

Materials used:

Maja Design - Vintage Baby

Dusty blue cardstock

Topper from Felicita Design

Halfpearls from my stash

Dies:

China die - the frame

Marianne Design - LR0218 (pram)

Impression Obsession - DIE 127-K (heart shaped flowers)

Die'sire - New Baby

Faceted gift bag

A while ago my son was going to a 4 x birthday party so he needed something to put the cash in. Usually I (or himself) make a card and we stick the money in that, but I felt like trying something different and searched on Pinterest for gift bags. I found a cute one that I tried to make, and I think it turned out good, so I made 4 more (since the first one had a few flaws) one for each kid:

For all for of them I have used paper from UHK Gallery and ribbon from my stash. And then I made some small gift tags of craft paper. The "recipe" can be found HERE.

Quick card

I had to send some stickers to my Godparents. They got a new mailbox and my husband can make stickers with names to put on, and so I made a quick spring card to put the stickers inside, so they wouldn't get to bend in the mail. It is a very simple card, but I like how it turned out.

Materials used:

Green cardstock

Paper from a paper pad bought in Lidl

China die

Tulips (bought in SuperBrugsen a long time ago)

Christening cake for Laura

My boss had a baby girl back in October and March 14th it was time for her christening and he asked me if I would make the cake for them. It has been a long time since I last made one, so I must say I am a bit out of practice but I accepted anyway. The cake was ordered to be for 35 people but due to the Corona virus they ended up being a lot less, so I think the top cake went into the freezer. Here's the cake which I think turned out really pretty:

The cake consisted of 2 layers of yellow cake (drømmekage med et twist) and 1 layer of chocolate cake. The mousses were Bailey's mousse and raspberry mousse and I covered the cakes with SMBC before I put the homemade fondant on. All the decorations are also made in fondant, so it is all edible.

Acrylic pouring class

A week and a half ago I went to a class about acrylic pouring. And it was so much fun making these kind of paintings, at least if you don't mind not being able to control the outcome. I made 4 paintings, using 4 different techniques. Unfortunately we all had a hard time getting some good cells, but I think the paintings turned out okay anyway.

For this one I tried dirty pouring together with the string pull technique. This is also my favorite.

It is not so dark in real life, but it was hard to take pictures of it.

This one was open cup pouring, and made with some of my left-over paints.

For this one I used the swipe technique.

And lastly for this one I used th collander pour technique.

I definitely have to try this again, I am hoping to make some really nice pictures to hang on the wall.

A good bye card for a dear colleague

Back in November my company decided to let some people go, so we had to say good bye to a very sweet colleague. We gave her a farewell present and I made this card for her:

Materials used:

Lemoncraft - House of roses collection & Gossamer Blue collection + butterflies

Anemone chipboard

China dies

Flowers - WOC and my stash

Dusty green card stock

Ribbon

Ranger Liquid Pearls - Ballerina

It's been a long time...

...since my last blogpost. The reason for this is, that back in November we had a water damage, and it did absolutely nothing good for my creative mojo. The repairs are still going on, but at least they are almost done now, tomorrow the last thing will be done in our shower and the last floor put down in our hallway. This means that on Thursday for the first time in 3 months we will be able to shower indoor again. AND we can finally get rid of the toilet/shower wagon that has been standing in our driveway for 3 months. It has not been a fun experience and I would never have guessed that it would take so long, but the floors had to dry for a very long time, before anything else could get done. But now we can finally see an end to it, and my creative mojo has started to come back. I did however make a few things during the last few months, and here is a birthday card I made for a colleague:

Materials used:

Lemoncraft papers - Yesterday collection

Kraft/recycled paper, white and dusty pink card stock

Anemone chipboard

China dies

Lace and lace flowers from China

Dusty pink buttons
