Butterfly card

In the fall I purchased a hot foil machine, and when I started to play with it I unfortunately discovered that I needed a new die cutting machine, since the one I had didn't put an even pressure on the plates. So recently I bought a new die cutting machine and since then I have made several cards with hot foil on them. This one I think turned out really pretty.


Materials used:
White cardstock
Rose gold mirror card
Simple and Basics dies

Using your leftover scrap pieces

I have a tendency to save pretty much all of my scrap pieces, because you never know, when they might come in handy. And then about a week ago I saw on Facebook this really cool card made out of leftovers, so I had to try that myself. It is super easy so I made both a birthday card and a Christmas card.

Scrap leftovers and gold cardstock

Birthday card for my Godfather

My Godfather turned 86 on February 1st, but due to the pandemic and all of the restrictions we couldn't go visit, but a card is always allowed, so at least he got that. When he was younger he often went fishing on the weekends and sometimes I went with him, and since I had some paper in my stash with fish on it, I thought it was perfect for him. On the picture some of the paper look brown, but in real life it is actually more of an olive green, that was just very hard to capture.

Materials used:
UHK Gallery - Wabi Sabi collection
Distress ink - Faded jeans
