The Constellation Gemini


This card was a pain to finish. I started with the large heart and after that the card lay on my desk for over a week and I couldn't think of anything. I was ready to trash it until yesterday I got an idea of the constellation gemini. I attached the tiny silver stars on the card so that they formed a gemini as it's seen in the sky. It matched well with the person for who I made this card because they are a gemini. All's well that ends well. :)

Please see this card in full size.

PS. No ribbons this time! :D

Butterfly card


Here's another card for Mother's Day. I had very little time to make it so it doesn't quite look like I was hoping to. (Plus, I don't have any stamps.) "Mummulle" means "For Grandma".

Coffee for Mom on Mother's Day

Mom is a big coffee consumer (like Finns in general). She will get this card next Sunday. :) I used coffee beans again. They are behind a window that I cut out of a transparency and attached to the back of the butterfly. The beans move freely when you shake the card. I got the idea from this great card blog.

The text says (continues inside): "Coffee moments crown any day - even Mother's Day."
