Pinwheel Card

This is a fun little Mixed Up Craft card that I just "had" to make. It is interesting, but I doubt that I will end up making very many of these, as it is mostly for show, and not so much for sending a greeting or a message. It has a cool effect, though.

It is quite hard to photograph, as it has very many angles, and it requires at least 5 or 6 photos to show the entire card. Therefore I filmed it instead.

Here is the Mixed Up Craft tutorial:

Building Block Card

On Friday, the 31st of July, Sam Calcott of Mixed Up Craft was going to do another Facebook Live. Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to watch, as I had a service appointment with my car that I had to go to. During that Live she made this beautiful card, a Building Block Card or a Block Card, if you like. Luckily for me though, she put up a YouTube tutorial on how to make the card really soon thereafter, as I didn't really feel like watching the live after the fact.

So yesterday I made this card, that I am really happy with! I absolutely adore the papers I have used. They are from the series "Little Fawn and Friends" from Craft Consortium. I decided to use Norwegian sentiments on the card, as I more often end up sending cards to Norwegian friends, as supposed to English speaking ones. The sentiments are all about having courage, and therefore I have simply called the card "Mot!", or "Courage!" in English. The sentiment says. "Courage to do what you dare not do."

This is a card that was a lot easier to make than I initially thought, much because of the great tutorial 

Sam Calcott has made.

I kept the theme of being courageous on the back of the card with another sentiment that says "What would life be if we didn't have the courage to try?"

I thought the card deserved a matching envelope.
