Happy New Year !

 Hi Everyone,

 This week I have made a new years card, hopefully this will be oe of many handmade cards from me this year, fingers crossed!

I have fell in love with a new website that I subscribe yearly to which is called Creative Fabrica. 

With this site you can browse through lots and lots of crafty goodies and download at your leisure. 

I found the backing papers first from a seller called Designworld and downloaded them. 

The main image was downloaded from Artistic Revolution and the sentiment and inside image was downloaded from the Printable & Feather Flair Art  

All shops on the Creative Fabrica website 

Hope tou like it and very best wishes for the coming year!

Merry Christmas Eve

Hi Everyone, 

Merry Christmas Eve to you all,

I have being having a lot of issues with my brother scan n cut Sdx 1200 😥

Is it surprising since I have had the machine for nearly 5 years......

I did start my digital cutting with the silhouette cameo 1, 2 and 3 and I just bought my silhouette cameo 4 when I received the scan n cut for my 40th birthday.

As you can imagine the silhouette ended up in a box in the loft.

But this year it has been a little life saver so much so ....I'm going to retire the scan n cut for now..... I am even thinking of buying the silhouette cameo 5 alpha, but let's wait and see.....

Anyway enough of the machine's..... I will show you the card tomorrow completely cut by the silhouette cameo 4...

Happy Christmas Eve Everyone!

Happy 70th Birthday

 Hi Everyone, 

This week I have made an exploding box card for my MD's 70th birthday

He loves L39 jets so I thought he would appreciate a jet themed card.

I always struggle like many crafter's making male cards but I think this one turned out pretty well and I was told he was very impressed 

Happy birthday Steve!

Happy Birthday Moi

 Hi Everyone, 

This weeks card is for my MD's wife for her 70th birthday. 

I started by choosing a colour palette from the Sarah Renae Clark colour catalogue.

The colour catalogues are becoming one of my favorite crafting tools, it takes all the thinking out of choosing colours for your project.

Once I had the colours printed  I set to work making the card. 

I started by making the shadow box frame as this was the most complicated part of the card, once done I then made the card to fit it, this turned out to be a bit more tricky and I had to make it from A2 card stock (16.5" x 23.4").

I then made the card insert and envelope which held the sentiment, once this was done I made the embellishments, the wood ones I cut on my laser cutter another favorite craft tool!

The roses are a die set from Heartfelt Creations (classic rose) I then coloured them using my pink pearlescent PanPastels.   

I hope she loves it as I certainly enjoyed making it!  

Happy Birthday Moi x
