Christmas in Mulberry Wood

Hi everyone,

Well, as crafters know Christmas is just around the corner and we need to start our cards early.
This year I have decided to use Christmas in Mulberry Wood cd rom from Crafter's Companion. I think the images are beautiful and different from the traditional red and green colours we normally use. I used my craft robo to cut out the base card templates which I purchased from www.cocopopart.co.uk. I also used Serif Craft Artist Professional 2 to make the backing papers and resize images. Below is a couple of pictures of the cards I have made.

 This post is about the craft robo or the silhouette cameo electronic cutting machines. Most people buy these machines and only use them for a week. But I want to show you the brilliant potential these machines have for your cardmaking. I have found a brilliant website where you can purchase your cutting files from it is www.cocopopart.co.uk  In the next few weeks I will be adding cards to my blog, in most of my designs, I use cocopopart cutting files.

My first post - For you Blue

Hi everyone, my profile picture is my bullmastiff Blue, unfortunately he died in march 2011 he was only 7 years and 7 months old.  As you can imagine I was deeply upset, so I thought I would cross stitch his photo. Cross stitching the photo really helped with my grief, and I was so pleased with the result. I started cross stitching years ago now and that's what got me into cardmaking. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Finished cross stitch, I stiched it on 18 count aida, it has over 29000 stitches and it took about 6 weeks to complete.

 I was very lucky to have my picture shown to Jane Greenoff on Create and Craft and she loved it, I was over the moon with my 15 minutes of fame.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luckily Blue left me a beautiful son, Red, I don't know how I would have managed without him, He is about 8 weeks old in the picture but he is nearly 7 now!
