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
Gittes Eget Design dies
Spellbinders hot plates
Simple and Basics hot plates
Spellbinders Rose Gold hot foil
Spellbinders Prism hot foil

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.


Materials used:
Scrap leftovers and gold cardstock
Simple and Basic dies
Gittes Eget Design dies

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
Spellbinders Matting Basics 6x6 dies
Gittes Eget Desing - Tillykke Midi & Maxi
Halfpearls from my stash

First Christmas card of 2021

Well, since today is the 24th I decided to make a Christmas card. I have seen other bloggers who have made Christmas cards every month on the 24th, but I have never done that myself, but today I really felt like making one, so maybe I'll try to do that every month, it will definitely make it easier to get them mailed on time I hope 🤞. I made one that is super easy and very flat. Most of my cards has to be mailed, and it is just more likely they will get there in one piece if they are flat.

Materials used:
Maja Design – Christmas Season 6x6 paper pack + an ephemera card from the 12x12 collection
Distress Ink – Bundled Sage
Hot foil plate and die from China
Half pearls

Crochet cloth

During my Christmas vacation I wasn't very creative, but I did manage to crochet one more dish cloth, this time in red. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, the edges actually got pretty straight.
