Festive Cards

Hi all! Another week has passed with me being busy and stitching away my next new Nordic cards, a theme continuation to my previous series :)  and now it's time for Hand-made Monday linking-up fun - click HERE and join the fun or to see some lovely craft creations. 

So here are my hand-made creations from this week:

2 new Scandinavian  festive cards:

The christmas tree chart on its own comes from Aurelle's blog. I added the frame, lettering and the "snowflakes" according to my own liking to fill up the stitch area. 

Another card is first attempt at being a thrifty stitcher - I tried to save a small strip of aida and I came up with this little stitch with Noel chalets :) Stitched, stamped, embossed and embellished with festive confetti :)

And the two cards side by side:

I guess I could count my home-made baked stuff as hand-made too! :)

I love experimenting in the kitchen and trying out new recipes. On Friday I made a plum crumble (one of my favourite desserts) with a hint of cinnamon and raisins. Served with custard :) Nom! nom!

Then on Saturday I had a go at my new baking toys: V.I.P - Very Important Pastries cookie cutters by Birkmann and I made these biscuits in a form of angel wings, that can be used to decorate a cup. Cute, aren't they? ;-)

Thank you for your kind comments you leave under my posts. Pleasure to read them! x x x
