KINDRED SPIRIT

Good evening again!

This is the other cuttlebug embossing set I received today! This set is called Best Friends and the A2 flower embossing folder comes with some cuts including the Kindred Spirit cut.

I made this card with pink pearlescent base the mat is printed on to card with my Funky hand CD I thought the flowers matched the embossing folder really well. I used my cuttlebug butterfly cut and emboss for the first time ( I've had it for months!) bling and inked edges. Thanks for looking I'm off to bed now it's so late!

MAKE A WISH!

Good evening

I was so excited today to receive 2 of the new cuttlebug folders just had to test them out so I threw this card together in about 5 mins! Great if you need a quick quick card! I love how deeply the candles emboss and have so many ideas for it swimming around in my head! The make a wish cut also came with the folder! Just added swiss dots folder at the bottom some spotty lime organza ribbon and a few skittles! This is the first time I've used my skittles and let me tell you adhering them with glossy accents is marvellous theyr'e stuck fast!!! TFL!

'GRAMPY' FATHER'S DAY CARD

Good afternoon all

I made this one this morning for my son Connor to give to his Grampy for Fathers Day today!

The base cardstock is Kanban black card (81/2 x11" folded lengthways ) with silver fleck throughout and a strip of black cardstock added across the centre. The Grampy letters are cut from silver mirricard with Cricut and Plantin School cartridge on shift roly poly setting then embossed with the Tiny Mosaics Cuttlebug folder. Computer generated font (Raavi) for the sentiment printed on silver inkjet film and mounted on black cardstock. Letters and sentiment then pop dotted using black foam squares (these are great when lifting dark cardstock as they don't show like the white ones!) from Personal Impressions. Thanks for looking!

By the way Grampy loved his card and his camera card which is below this one!!

Oh and please excuse my wonky photography on the first pic!!!

FATHERS DAY PHOTOGRAPHER!

Good Evening

My Dad has loved photography for as long as I remember! I made this camera shaped card using DS and the camera from Going Places cartridge and cut with Cricut. The base card is cut with silver mirri card and the top layer with textured black cardstock and pop dotted on the front. The 'flashbulb' is handcut from rigid ridged vinyl 3 times and glued together. The strap is black leather string knotted and threaded through a silver eyelet. Lastly the 'lens' is computer generated on silver inkjet film with a clear dome epoxy circle over the top. It is easy to create in DS although I had to fiddle round with the top layer a bit! Hope you like it Dad! Happy Fathers Day!!!

A COUPLE OF CARDS DESIGNED ON THE COMPUTER

Good Evening
I needed a couple of man cards and as I've said before I do struggle with them! I always seem to make them on the computer as then they're not frilly!

Anyway the first one is for my Nephew Daniel who is just turning 17 don't really know what he is into so I usually stick to name cards when I am not sure!

The second is for an old friend Charles who likes red wine so I designed a photocard and put text on it!
Both cards are printed on a good weight photo glossy card which doesn't really show in the pictures!

Before cricut I designed a lot of cards on the computer that seems to be getting less these days!

Well I'll be honest with you I'm not making many cards period as I just can't drag myself away from the Cricut Message Board!!!. I'm sure this is true of many of the members!!!!

They are quite plain and simple tfl!!

EXPLODING BOX TO HOLD A PRESENT

Good morning

Its's 1.22am here! I don't expect I'm the only crafter who crafts til the early hours!

Anyway just thought I'd share this box It's a total cheat really the box comes die-cut and is from a company called Redhotbed all you have to do is score fold stick and decorate!

I made this for a friend I used to work with who had a beautiful baby daughter Sophie just before Christmas. I know I know she emailed me photos about a month ago and I've only just got round to making this!

I decorated with some little teddies some gems and tied with ribbon and a lttle pink dummy tied to the ribbon. I only needed 4 photos then computer generated baby Sophie's details.

The box was made to put a little gift of a crystal dummy inside.

Hope you like it I've made a few of these as gift holders and the recipients have loved them.
