"workshop"


When visiting my mum, and our craftdays are planned together with my aunt, I always like and try to make something a bit more "bigger" as a sort of "workshop".  I think I did a good job, cos both ladies did an amazing job creating amazing cards! It's always so much fun to see how different images, and colors can change a card completely! This was my take on the "workshop".

big on small



My mum prefers to make smaller cards, and sometimes bigger dies wont fit on it, or she does not really know how to use them on a smaller card. I always like to show my mum (and aunt) new ideas and ways of making cards with the things they have, or don't have because they think it wont fit on their cards :)

Hunkydory 006


Now this card was tricky, and I messed up 2 times before it turned out like this. I miss-calcutaled the border, cutting off too much and so I had to add something extra etc etc, but in the end it turned out to be a great card!

Messed up


I am not affraid to admit, I messed up this card, and I know where I went wrong as well. I first made the die-cut and embroided in it, which looked lovely. Stuck it on the card but the corners felt really bare. So I inked the corners, but it still looked bare, so then I emroidered the corners! Ok, so if I had NOT inked the corners, and only embroidered them, this card would have looked great. Live and learn I suppose!!

Marianne Die


I wanted to show my mum and aunt, that eventhough this new Marianne Die is quite a large one, it can still be used on  a smaller card with embroidery that my mum and aunt love to do on a card!

Hunkydory 003


I know for sure that creating cards in the classic colors is my absolute fave. Therefor I am making sure that I am making a set of cards of one toppersheet and 2 background sheets from each of the kits in order, so I wont run out of pretty reds and greens! Not that the others aren't pretty, very far from that, but green and red for christmas is my fave!

Hunkydory card kit


When I first got this Hunkydory cardkit I was a bit lost on what to do with it. Several times I opened it, looked at it, and then put it back cos I had no clue really. But when I received the christmas blockbuster from Hunkydory, and I found my way in it, I reopened this kit, and finally saw what to do with it :)

recycle


When I was going to my mums drawers with left over papers, I came across this piece of card. She had used the scalloped edge die on it, but broke one of the corners. But it is too pretty to throw away, so I used it on this card, glues my decoupage over the broken bit, and voila, no one will ever know there was a broken bit!! (Unless they read this blog ofcourse!)

Corner Die

I love this corner die my mum has .... I used it to create a frame for my cute decoupage :) I must admit though, now that I look back at it, the layout of the card isn't completely right ... that's what happens in card-making, you sometimes make a card that is a bit poo poo, but there is always someone who will like it :)

embos paste

When I first started crafting, I used this 3D paste with metal dies on a lot of my cards. I didn't have much else but the paste and old wallpaper books hahaha ... nowadays embos paste, as it is now called, is all back in fashion in the most wonderfull colors! Isn't this purple lush??
