Pop - Up Card

This was my first go on this kind of card to. I have seen many people making them but I have never tried myself - I can not understand why :D They are so decorative and fun to make - and not at all difficult.

I have not made this card for anyone special, but I guess that will not be a problem.

Recessed Window Card

I just had to make one more of this kind of card. They are so easy and fun to make - and still so decorative.

This card I will give to my mothers neighbour on her birthday, maybe with some nice flowers or something :D

Birthday Card

This is a girls birthday card. One of my colleagues at work bought this for an upcoming birthday.

I really love the butterfly stickers on this card. The stickers is glued on to a piece of acetate and cut out, I used pop dots to glue them to the circles.

Easy but fun card to make.

Recessed Window Card

I found a new tutorial and I had to try it out.

This was quite an easy card to make, and a lot of fun to :D

This card will be a birthday card for one of my nieses who has her birthday now in August.

Birthday Card

I made this card for one of my colleagues birthday, and since she is a girl I made it in a lot of pink tones. I tried out a new technique on this card - mosaic thecnique and I think it came out quite ok.

Card with a touch of summer

This is a card I made for the challenge over at Whimsy Stamps Challenge, but again.....I was to late to link it up. It is quite hard to keep track over when to link what when it is not listed in the challenges. Well it is only my fault anyhow, I could acutally have linked it a day before :D
