Home made cards

Last week I made a couple of birthday cards for my mum's and grandmothers birthday. It's always a bit sad when it's someone's birthday and you're far away that you can't be there to celebrate with them. 

So instead I try to make personalised cards instead of  buying them to put that little bit of extra effort in to show my family that I love and miss them..

 I covered my grandma's card in a bird print fabric and used a ribbon to hide the edges, and  then painted a small tree branch white and sewed it on. 

And for my mums card I used orange and eggshell paper and glued on a left over piece of  this 1970's printed wallpaper which I had left over from the doll house that I'm doing up, and then glued on  two Victorian scraps. 

I hope my home made little cards will find there way home to Sweden and my loved ones..
