Two CAS Christmas Cards

This week I bought a new snowflake die,
and I had to try it at once.
I found the negative die cut so good,
so I decided to use that too on a card.

Recipe:
Two blue double cards, A6,
White card stock.
Die: Memory Box "Lindeman Snowflake".
Glitter (silver).
Tool: Cuttlebug.







Autumn Card With Mice

I love this House Mouse stamp.
Today I used it for an autumn card.
A cup of hot cocoa tastes good when the leaves are falling.
The leaves are cut from leftovers from some tags
that I made some days ago.
(The card stock for the tags I colored with Dylusions.)

Recipe:
Creme double card, A6,
Brown paper,
White card stock,
Green scrap paper and leftovers from self colored card stock.
Image: House Mouse.
Star border punch: Artoz.
Maple leaf punch: Unknown.
Caran D'Ache water color pencils, water brush,
Dylusions.
Orange fine liner pen.

Birthday Card With Freesias

I struggled with the colours on this card.
And I don't know if I really succeeded.
I find Beccy's own colouring so great,
so I want to find colours on the papers
that go with the colours of the image.
The green border on this photo is darker than it is on the card.
 Sorry for that!

I made a birthday card for a Norwegian friend of mine.

And in spring the magnolias are blooming here where I live,

Christmas Card With Traditional Norwegian Decoration

In Norway, where I come from,
we use to make "Christmas baskets" to hang on the tree.
These baskets may be filled with sweets,
or they are just a decoration.
As a little girl back home in Norway
and later as a teacher there,
I made lots of such baskets.
We use to keep them for next year and the year after that ......
Today I have made a "mini Christmas basket" for this card.

I used:
Dark green double card A6,
Creme paper for the mat,
Green, red and gold scrap papers,
Twigs and heart basket dies: Marianne Design.
Unknown die for the label.
