Cards with Christmas Tree Motif

Few years ago on Ravelry I found a pattern for Christmas Tree Motif and made couple of them. They seemed small to me and I changed the pattern for a bigger Christmas Tree Motif. I used the Christmas Trees as an ornaments attached on a curtain. 
Now I made two Christmas tree with thin thread to attach on a paper card. I decorate the card with a ribbon and glitter glue. The height of these trees is 6 cm. You can see the pattern for a bigger tree below the photos.

Here Is the pattern for a bigger Christmas Tree:

Christmas cards 4 & Star card

These days I’m occupied with making Christmas cards. For these cards I used a craft punches with snowflakes and stars. I made the card with stars for my mom and dad... My dad’s coworker has a grandchild and my parents are going to visit them. I wish a happy childhood to the baby.

Wine card collection

I made the first two cards this winter for Valentines Day. I made the third one for our neighbor's saint's day: A few days ago a friend from our neighborhood came in our house for some coffee & gossip chat. She said that she likes my decoupage candle and that she would like to have something made with decoupage technique. I decided to make a card for her and here it is (the third one). Maybe I will change the present because I have time till their saint's day to buy a candle holder and candle and decoupage it.

Christmas cards 2

When I finished the candle I continued to work with decoupage technique. Always when New Year is on the doorstep I'm saying to myself that I should have made Christmas cards :) That's why I started to make them earlier. First I made one, but after that I made a whole collection :) I used parts from one napkin and a glitter glue at the end. I left the cards dry so I can take a photo of them. And here they are :D

Decoupage Candle

Tomorrow is our saint's day and everybody in the house is occupied with the preparations. Yesterday was a sunny day and I was cleaning the house. After the hard work, while I was resting I got an idea how to decorate the candle that I bought before a month. I was tired, but then I forgot about the tiredness and started to craft. I started to browse in my napkins and I chose one that matched with the candle holder. 
I like the final product and I think that I will buy more candles to decorate them for all ocassions :)

Blue afghan

This weekend I got some new blue yarn from drenka and had to try it. I found a beautiful bolero on ravelry, but on the page with the pattern  there were a lot of similar patterns. I found the one that I liked and started to crochet. After few rounds of crocheting I noticed that I started a wrong pattern :)) Then I found the right one and finished it. I plan to use this afghan as a decoration on a sew bag or I will make more afghans like this and make something nice.
I hope that you will see my new bolero soon ;)

Gordeliciousstudio 2


You don't have to be patient any more. I finished the third image, but the girl on the fashion runway  isn't me :)) This evening I planed to crochet something, but I changed the plan and started to draw :) I made this image more different than the others, maybe because of the time distance... 
So I like to finish my unfinished things and I like how it turned out.


Gordeliciousstudio 1

Three years ago I got an inspiration from some vladstudio wallpapers with "The two". I loved them and started to make a similar image. During my work, while I was making the first image I got another idea and I couldn't wait to do it. Here are both images. The girl in them is me, knitting with my own yarn :)) 
have a third image also, but it's not finished yet, you must be patient. ;)

Heart cards

Lately I'm making paper cards and when I go to a bookstore I always look for new things that I don't have. A month ago I bought new purple cardboard, but I didn't use it and now was the perfect time for that. Yesterday while I was enjoying the beginning of the weekend I got a desire to make a new card. I thought of the purple cardboard and started to work. First I chose the colours of the materials, then planed out how the card will look like and then started to work. At the end I put a silver glitter glue. Now I can't stop staring at my new cards. :)
