yet another Valentines card

Yet another experiment in the theme music and hearts.. I just couldn’t stop.. or succeed ;)
And I hate taking pictures of red, it’s always hard to take good photograph if there is too much red areas.

Lukas 2 years

My cousin Lukas turns two years today so I’m heading to a birthday party in a few hours and of course, I made a card for him. I only used paper from my scrap stash this time and I got to use some of my washi tapes and alphabet stickers/thickers.
As always when I have a card to make I take a look at the ongoing challenges, this is the layout from Mojo Monday #276.

First card of the year!

First time I’ve made and sent a card without it being a birthday or Christmas card!  Since I felt like making a card I took my regular challenge blogs visit and noticed this week’s Mojo Monday challenge which was usable for the card I had in mind.

“When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!” Stamped and warm embossed with white embossing powder. Just love it!

Used my promarkers of course: daffodil bloom, tulip yellow, cinnamon, cocoa, lavender, leaf green and grass. Matches the paper pretty well!

A Christmas order

A colleague of mine wanted a special Christmas card for his mother, she likes Santa so I made this one for her!

I like the beard, and the fact that I got to try one of my new embossing powders (very nice) and! I used some of my old Christmas paper too!

Christmas cards

I recently created a bunch of Christmas cards to sell, we are a few people at work who sell or create different things in our spare time. I decided to put up the jewelry I made a few years ago and some cards, and of course, my angels!

Here are all the cards I created for this, a total of 40 cards, that’s about four times more than I use to create for all my friends and family but it was great. It has been too long since I got myself so caught up in doing something I like. I spent two days just crafting (more or less). And I got to use my stash, that’s the best part!
I’ll put the left over cards up for sale in my etsy shop for next year.

Yet another birthday card

Last Friday my oldest cousin turned 25 and we were invited to celebrate yesterday. I made a card early in the morning since I seem to be unable to sleep longer than to 7 am on weekends.

I decided to take the opportunity to enter a competition too, it always helps with some inspiration and the current challenge at Mojo Monday was just perfect!

I thought I was going to make a very masculine card but it seems to be quite a challenge for me. I do however love the color combinations and the stamp is adorable (never used it before)!
