BIRTHDAY CARD FOR LANA

Good evening everyone

Well today is my MB friend Lana's birthday. Happy Birthday Lana!

I made this card for her but couldn't show it til I knew she had received it!

The card is made using the Cricut Design Studio and a present cut from the Celebrations cartridge. I used cream pearlescent cardstock and printed the large polka dots using Pink petticoat pink large polka dots for the ouside and the negative print on the inside. I used swiss dots embossing folder on the 'ribbon/bow'. Added some ribbon a tag also from Celebrations cart and some pink skittles and printed Lana's name on computer. The .cut file is here in case anyone would like to make a card like this and on the 4th page of the cut I have sized a matching envelope to fit which uses Plantin school Cartridge.

Here is the cut file:

LOOK WHAT I GOT IN THE POST TODAY!

click on the picture for a clearer view of the stamps!

Hi everyone
I recently ordered a full set of studio G stamps (set 16) from the USA from an MB member Marti who has an online shop http://www.pezadoodle.com/
It is almost impossible to get many of the studio g stamps that are released here in the UK but Marti can and her prices are brilliant and shipping costs too! And what a wonderful service she posted them from the USA on the 22nd July and I received today in the UK 26th July! Wow what service and have a look at all the wonderful stamps! Thank you Marti I will definitely shop again!

CARD FOR MY FRIEND JULIE

Hi

I made this card today for my friend Julie who's birthday is tomorrow! This is a simple card too which I have made a couple of times. I love simple cards I'm kind of a less is more girl! I hope she likes it!

CARD FOR MY MOTHER IN LAW

I recently made this card which is the same as my black and cream card further down but in pink. I like the simple design on this card and will probably make it again! The colours look lilac in the photo for some reason but they are pink!

MY SON MADE A CARD!

Hi

Just thought I'd share this. My son Connor who is 14 has never ever showed an interest in crafting and oh I have tried! Even when he was little his friends would come over and I'd get some craft stuff out and they would all love cutting and sticking but not Connor Oh No he thought it was boring!

Anyway its funny what an electronic toy will do for a boy! When he saw what my Cricut can do all of a sudden he wanted a go! He made this card with the cricut for his friend who loves 'The Legend Of Zelda' PS game. Apparently it depicts the Tri Force and he also cut out the numbers for his age to put in the middle. He got me to post this on the Cricut MB too and received some lovely comments. So now I guess I will have to share my cricut when he next feels the need to make a card! lol!

CARD FROM LANA!

CARD FROM SANDI 'CELTIC WOMAN'

A little while ago I received a wonderful card from Sandi 'Celtic Woman' is her MB name. She sent me this beautiful card all the way from the USA and I felt so honoured to receive one of her wonderful creations. Sandi is so artistic and creative. Just look at the shadowing she has put on this card! Thank you so much Sandi it has pride of place on my mantlepiece!
