Gatefold Cards

I have made a variety of Gatefold Cards lately, all inspired by tutorials by Mixed Up Craft This first one is a Lock and Pop Gatefold Card that I made for my mom for Mother's Day that was on the 14th of February here in Norway.

The second card is also a Lock and Pop Gatefold Card, but this one is kept shut with a bellyband.

Last but not least is a Floating Gatefold Card, also made with a matching Bellyband. This card was made with an ink bleded background, with a garden theme, centered around bees.

Book of Boxes

I have not blogged since November. Not because I haven't made anything, but because Blogspot has changed the view I see when I add photos to my blog posts. Instead of seeing the photos that I add, I now just see a code. I like to see the images that I add, alongsside the text I write. Oh well, I guess I will have to get used to it, or stop blogging all together. Today's post is a beautiful little creation that I originally saw posted by Sam Calcott of Mixed Up Craft.

The Book of Boxes is designed to hold Mini Rittersport Chocolates, but as I don't have any, my boxes are empty, until I get a hold of some, or find something of equivalent size to fit into them. The heart and love theme I have used on mine, was done thinking of Valentines Day, but it can be made for any occation. Here is Sam's tutorial on how to make the Book of Boxes:
