Gifts

Over at Beccy's Place the letter for today is "G",

They are not many,

but I think the snowman is very happy to give them to somebody.

I used:

White double card A6;

White and light purple papers;

Stamps:

Snowman and gifts: Craft Sensations,

Sentiment: Rico;

Snowflakes: Heinz Design.

Colours: Stabilo and Caran D'Ache.

Glitter glue, purple (on one of the gifts);

Purple pen on around the edges.

Gute Besserung

Heute bekam ich die Frage,

ob ich eine Gute-Besserung-Karte machen könnte,

und es musste schnell gehen, damit die Karte

mit der heutigen Post abgehen würde.

Der Patient, der plötzlich ins Krankenhaus kam, ist Musiker.

Also, dachte ich,

auf dieser Karte sind vielleicht Noten besser

als ein Blumenstrauss.

Aber ein kleines Blümchen möchte ich auch dabei haben.

Leider war es schon so spät am Nachmittag,

dass das Licht ziemlich schlecht war.

Für meine Karte habe ich verwendet:

Doppelkarte, A6, weiss;

Chamois Papier;

Restepapier: Blau, weiss, grün und rot;

Stanz-Schablonen:

Noten: Memory Box, 

Textplatte: Unbekannt,

Blätter: Cottage Cutz Ivy.

Blume: EK Success und Atelier Terziev Punches.

Text am Computer geschrieben.

Distress Ink, Glasperlen und Filzstift.

Christmas Basket II

I made another card

with the Norwegian or Scandinavian Christmas basket.

This card is very simple.

This basket is bigger than the first I made today.

It is double, and inside the basked 

I have placed a little chocolate heart

like that one on the second picture.

I had glue only on the back side of the basket,

so that it clings to the card.

I used:
Double card A6, creme,
Creme paper for the mat;
Green and red scrap papers;
Embossing folder unknown,
Christmas basket die: Marianne Design.
For the edges: Brown distress ink and red pen.

Card With A Traditional Scandinavian Christmas Basket

As I was a girl back home in Norway, 

we every year used to make Christmas baskets

for our Christmas tree.

They were made of glossy paper in different colours.

They were cut with the scissors.

For us children this tradition was very important.

Sometimes we used to hide small surprises inside.

Also as teacher I made such baskets with my pupils.

Today I have made a little basket for this card.

I also put some small hearts around it.

Hearts also belong to the Norwegian Christmas tradition.

I used:

Double card A6, creme;

Creme paper for the mat,

Red and green scrap papers;

Embossing folder: Snowflakes (unknown),

Christmas basket die: Marianne Design;

Border punch: Martha Stewart.

For the edges: Brown distress ink an red pen.

Tool: Cuttlebug.

Red and green scrap papers for the poinsettia.

Embossing folder: Cuttlebug;

Dies: Spellbinders Poinsettia dies;

Yellow and white scraps;

Image and sentiment: Beccy;

Die unknown;

Embossing

Today I made a quite easy, quick Christmas card,

only using white card stock,

 an Embossing folder (Darice),

3 Rhines Stones,

blue and purple pens.
I had to make the card in a hurry to try
to be among the next winners at Beccy's Place.
But I think I was too late ;)
