A commission wedding card

 A friend of mine wanted me to make a wedding card that's a bit colorful. And as he's not the romantic style, lots of decorations type of person, I made it quite simple. No lace, no wedding couple stamp etc. Just a heart and the couple's names. Metallic gold paper, and patterned paper in blue/purple/gold.

I had intended to participate in a sketch challenge at The Paper Players with this card, but having and old friend visiting me for a week, I completely forgot to make the blog post in time. Oh well.

Happy Easter

 Long time no see. Cardmaking has been a big passion of mine, ever since I started about 25 years ago. Still, I have hardly made any cards so far thos year. This is my third card this year. Hey, I used to make more than that i iin a month! However, here we go.

This was a commission card by a friend of mine.

I submit my card to the following two challenges. As for the first one, my 3 things are pastel colours, punches (border punch), Easter eggs and Easter greeting. Oops, sorry, that was 4 things. 😊 By the way, clicking on these images brings you to the challenge blogs. 😊

A card I don't like...

I absolutely don't like how this card turned out. I'm posting it here anyway. It was a commission card for a friend, for her daughter-in-law's birthday. She wanted the birthday greeting in Swedish, Romanian (daughter-in-law is from Romania) and Slovenian (my friend is from Slovenia). And in soft blue shades. I made the card in the very last minute - after all I am a hopeless procrastinator - and I didn't have much blue papers to choose from.

However, my friend loved it, so I guess it wasn't that bad.

Yungblud and Ozzy

I can't believe I haven't updated my blog since September. Ouch!
I've got plenty of stuff I have created since then, to share with you.

First is a graphite portrait of Yungblud and Ozzy. I did send a copy of the drawing to Yungblud, but most likely he won't even get to see it, considering how popular and famous he is now. That really doesn't matter to me. I don't draw to get attention. I draw because I like it, and I draw whomever it might be because I like that person.

AAA Cards Challenge #300!

 I'm proud to be a guest designer at AAA Cards for their challenge #300! 😃

Here's my take on the sketch. The squirrel was part of a clear stamp set I designed for Slöjd-Detaljer years ago.

I'm honourable!

 Ooh, I'm a honourable mention at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown blog! 

Merry Christmas

It's already September, and this is my first Christmas card of the year! I made this from the sketch from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.

I'm drawing!

I've finally picked up drawing again. I have rarely done it for years. These are two of three this year. I won't show you the first one, that is private - a portrait of a deceased relative, made for one of his family members.

Well, before these three this year, the last one was in April 2025, and before that June 2023. So like one drawing a year.... Now my inspiration is back, and there will be plenty more portraits this year! 😃

Here we go - graphite drawings of Marilyn Monroe, and my new "idol" Yungblud.

AAA Cards Challenge winner

Wieee! I've won a card challenge! It's AAA Cards Challenge #292. Besides the honor of being the winner, I will also get to be guest designer for a future challenge. 😃

Summer greeting

Today it's Midsummer Eve in Sweden, and a lot of people celebrate it. I don't use to do so. Instead I'm having a lovely day off work, being creative. 😃

The sentiment on this card is Swedish for "Have a lovely summer". I've been inspired by AAA Cards' sketch and CAS on Friday's theme Summer.

ATC's

I've started making ATC's (artist trading cards) again after a long break. I've been doing them on and off since 2003!

I'm on TikTok!

A lots of "youngsters" have been on TikTok for ages. I'm far from a youngster, and I didn't "discover" TikTok until a couple of weeks ago. Yes, of course I have known about it, I've had an account for quite a while, but never really got the grip.

Until recently when I decided to share videos of how I make my cards. This far, you can see how I have made these cards. Come watch the videos at my TikTok. 😃

50

I made this card for a few card challenges, but unfortunately I was a bit late, and two of the challenges have already closed. Oh well. It's not too late for Seize the Birthday challenge #306 "Use a frame" though. :)

Outgoing deco swap

A deco swap went in the mail to Annie a couple of days ago.

Birthday card

Here's the card I made yesterday, for Addicted to Stamps and More's birthday challenge, and a sketch from Paper Craft Crew (links below my card).
