Christmas Cards

Well I know some people all over the world have been making there christmas cards for months. Myself I am more of a last minute girl, but have just made a list and actually have 10 cards that I cannot be without so today is my day for making all my christmas cards. I will return later on tonight when they are all complete and let you know how they turned out.

Also if I create any Make the Cut files along the way I will  share them too.

Be Back soon

Cards made using my make the cut files.

I have put three christmas cards together using the cut files that I created recently and I thought that I would share them with you. Make the cut makes these cards so simple to create. I love it so much.

Christmas Make the cut files

I have been playing with make the cut and thought that I would share three colouring pages that I have found and created some Make the cut files. I hope that you like them and find them useful.

Back to blogging at last

It has been quite some time since I have been on my blog, but I have missed keeping track of my creations so I have given myself a new look blog and intend to make it my new years resolution to keep it up to date. Since September I have been running a small card making class at my local church and we have a few members now which is great. I have also been creating cards for birthdays new babies etc. I have purchased a gypsy and I am getting to grips with that too. I am hoping to share a couple of files each week along with images of what the finished product looks like using the different cartridges I have.

Rat pack 18th card with Hannah Montana Cartridge

I was asked to make an 18th Birthday Card for a young man who is a club singer, He sings swing and loves the ratpack so this is what I came up with. I already had a Kanban topper to use and I used the Hannah Montana Cartridge to create his name, the number 18 and the treble clef. I think it turned out really cute. Because I had used dimensionals on the front of the card a regular envelope would not be suitable so I also made an Envelope and cut out a Giant Treble Clef to attach to the front. The strip across the top of the card is adhesive ribbon that has musical notes on it.

Print and Cut, Make the Cut and Pink Petticoat

I have been reading a lot abut the new Provocraft Machine and all about how it can print and cut. I have always been able to do this as I have a craft Robo but if you don't know how the registration marks work it can be tricky. After reading cleversomedays blog about the hinge technique, and Make the Cut, I decided that I was going to have a play.

I used some images that I had purchased from Pink Petticoat a while back and followed the instructional video and was able to cut perfect circles around my image and then following this create perfect mats for them to be attached too. I had not used my images much before as I am rubbish with a craft knife and so being able to do this has opened so many possibilities to use my digital stamps and have them cut perfectly. 

Here are my first results.

 I think that they are rather smart for a first attempt.

Everton Football Card

I made a card for a friend of mine who was turning 50. She is a mad Everton FC fan so I made her this card.

I used My Craft Studio to design the backing paper and decoupage and Make the Cut to create the Happy Birthday and the 50.
