90th Birthday Card

Well it has taken me till the beginning of February to actually get my camera and take some pictures of my latest creations I have a number of items to share with you but I will show you my card that I finished making this morning first.

It is for an order for a friend for her Aunties birthday. I took some inspiration from an article in quick cards made easy about matting and layering and using a doily or scallop in the matting. I used my Silhouette to create the butterflies, docrafts digital designer for the image and My Craft studio for the template.

I think that it turned out really pretty. I would also like to use this card as my entry to the My time to craft Challenge for this week. The title is A is for adorable and I think the image used on this card fits perfectly x

Not the ideal way to start the New Year

I am trying to stick to uploading my creations when I make them. Unfortunately the first card I am uploading is a sympathy card. Not the best way to begin the year, but I needed a card and here it is. I used my silhouette to cut the lily flourish and the with sympathy sentiment added some ribbon and pearls after inking the edges of my card and paper pieces. I think it turned out pretty nice. I don't know where the camera is so I have taken this picture with my ipad and it's not the best picture but you can get an idea of what the card looks like, and I will have a record of what it looked like if I need to make another sympathy card as I really struggle making them.

New year New start

As it is about to be the beginning of a brand new fresh year I am making a resolution to keep my blog updated and create a whole host of new files using my make the cut software for my silhouette and other machines. I hope that all my followers will enjoy the new files and my creations that I intend to upload in the coming year. Happy new year to all and I'm looking forward to lots more crafting, especially scrapbooking over the next coming year. Bye for now.

Cricut Simply Charmed Card

Here is  a card I created for my daughters birthday a couple of weeks ago using the Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge. I think that it turned out pretty cute.

One of my 9 year Old Daughters Birthday cards

Hi everybody.

Again I am completely in love with these ruffles on the bottom of cards and thought I would share another card with you that I have created using them. It is very different from the previous card I made and I just love how it turned out. You can find the link to the blog that has the ruffles below.

I used my Silhouette and some October Afternoon papers for the heart and rose. The stamp is from the American Crafts birthday collection. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Birthday Card

My Daughter is going to her friends birthday party tomorrow and I needed to get a card put together for her to take. The party is pirate themed so I made the card to fit in with the help of some ruffles that I found on Kiki creates blog. I think that it turned out really cute and I will be using these ruffles much more often. You can find and download them here.

My Latest Purchase and First Card.

Hi Everybody. 

I am not sure how many of you have heard of Kristina Werner, but she is a massive inspiration to me as a crafter. She creates cards and tutorial videos weekly and her ideas are just fantastic. This week I was watching her new episode of Focus Friday that she had posted on You Tube and she recommended a book. It is called Folding Ideas for Cards and Envelopes. I loved the look of the Book and also the card that Kristina made with the template and so decided to buy the book for inspiration.

After reading a couple of reviews I was weary as although Kristina loved it the reviews were not the best. Inside  you get a cd with all the templates of the cards and folds in pdf format. To my delight I was able to import the templates into make the cut no problem and cut my card shapes from there, no measuring and fussing with craft knives yippee.

This is the first card I have made using the template from the book.
