Card for the Retiring High School Principal

 

The principal at the local high school retired recently, and I was tasked with making a card from some of the employees. A picture of the school went into Photoshop, and after a round with glue and paper, this was the result.

Christmas Cards

Years ago, my mom and I started making 3D cards. I quickly grew bored with those, though, but not with card making. These days I make all kinds of cards, and these are some of my recent ones.

With this one, I had a lot of fun with rhinestones and my snowflake puncher.

 

A piece of scrapbooking paper and some gold snowflakes go a long way.

Flower Stickers

A couple of American friends got me hooked on scrapbooking last year. It's a wonderful way of preserving memories, and I love how you can give your trip or special occasion exactly the setting you want to. I quickly discovered a problem, though.

Since scrapbooking is not a very popular hobby in Denmark, finding the right materials is a challenge. Once you've made an album or two with the same paper and embellishments from Karen Marie-Klip, you're kind of over it. The cool stuff is imported from the US and as a result incredibly expensive - ordering it online from US yourself is just as expensive.

So I thought that it was worth it to try making some of my own. I started with something safe - flowers. I got a couple of punchers, some paper, adhesives, and rhinestones.

The flowers have many uses.

These are - ironically enough - for an American friend's New Orleans scrap album

If you're not up for making them yourself, I sell them on Etsy. You can request custom orders in the menu to the left.
