Cards made in 2011

Another post showing everything I've done since february... lol... maybe I should start blogging a bit more often again.... Well, this time I just want to blog all the cards I made this... ehm... last year.

.

For Christmas I needed a few small things to give away, so I made these small post it note holders. They were really quick and fun to make.

Here you can see all the postit note holders I made....

This card was for my sister in law's birthday. She plays the guitar and she had just done a project with spiders at school... The left picture is the front of the card, and the right is a peek of the inside...

My niece was one in October.... this is the card I made for her.

This mermaid was for one of Maja's friend's birthday.

...and another mermaid for Susie's friend.

It's always hard to buy prensents for people that have everything... so for my mum's birthday I made her a set of five cards for different occasions. When I think about it, this was probably a stupid thing to do since she is one of the few people that buys cards from me on a regular basis.... The set consisted of:

A wedding card...

a new home card....

a happy birthday card...

another birthday card....

and a card with no sentiment...

they were all decorated on the inside as well...

I think she was pleased with the present, and I know that she has already given some of the cards away.

The next two cards was for Maja's friends too...

And way back in january last year, I made this sliding pop up card for some friends of ours that had a baby girl.

Well.... this was kind of short and sweet... lol... I guess I should have added what stamps (companies) and materials I've used but I can't really be bothered listing all that for all these cards. And I think that would have made for a really boring post as well....

New stamps

I finally got my new stamps... bought on Ebay... and sent from the USA, so it took a while from I bought them till I had them in my hands... Anyway... the two sets of stamps I got are the "Four dolls" from Hero arts and "Butterfly beauties" from Stampendous. Aren't they gorgeous?
So the last couple of evenings I've been playing with my new stamps (of course...) and I made this card:

I made this card for the weekly challenge at the Hero arts blog. This weeks challenge is to make a card inspired by a card from the "win a day at the blog challenge", and my card is inspired by this card made by alnette.

The girl is mounted on pop dots for some dimension. The background paper is from Dovecraft. In addition to the HA and Stampendous stamps, I have used a background script stamp from Kort og Godt.

Thanks for the lovely presents!

Woops... it's been over a week since I last blogged... time flies when you're having fun... and the fun this week was that it was my birthday.... and look at all the goodies I got! (Photo is not even showing everything...)

My 6 year old daughter had written a looong wish list for me. She'd worked on it for quite a few days... "Muuum? Do you want any fabric for your birthday??" and other similar questions was regularly asked during the weeks before my birthday. She took my hubby out shopping for almost everything on the list...

Look at the cute fabric she picked out for me... and she also picked out these stamps...

I'm going to have so much fun with my prezzies... thanks a bunch!
