Hi Everyone!

My name is Karin Åkesdotter (PeppermintPatty’s Papercraft) and I’m from Gothenburg, Sweden, where I live with my husband and our 10-year-old son. I have been doing arts and crafts (sewing, drawing, watercolor painting, paper crafting etc.) for as long as I can remember I also chose that path for my career and studied arts and crafts with a focus on textiles for 5 years at Gothenburg University.

I now teach textile crafts and language full time to 7-9 graders. I LOVE my job and my students, but of course I always wish I had more time for paper crafting and painting (-: When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with my family, travelling, watercolor painting, reading, exercising (orienteering, floorball, indoor walking, etc) and being outdoors in our wonderful archipelago or beautiful forests.

I have always LOVED YNS for their fun and cute stamp and dies designs. I am super excited and honored to join the AWESOME and amazingly talented YNS girls as the guest designer for September.

I start out by sharing two cards made with some of my absolute favorite YNS products;   The paw print background   – It is such an awesome die to use for all your cute animal cards.

I love it just like this cut from white cardstock to add interest, texture and dimension to your back ground.

And oh my how cute the animals from Card Buddies are. I ADORE them.

I kept the gray pink colorscheme for the fun alpha dies for harmony. I think the paw print die makes a beautiful bg for the photo booth shots too!

I can’t wait to come back here to share the cards I am working on for the September release – it is such a fun and sweet release that I know you will absolutely LOVE!

‘Til then you can find me here (-:
