Snow Globe

Its starting to feel a lot like Christmas...............I love making things for Christmas! My only problem is I'd like to have everything up all year round. Well, here's my Snow Globe shaker card........It was hard to photograph, I really didn't want my reflection in the silver base, so its kind of on an angle to avoid that!


Joys of the Season cartridge was used, page 50. The little house scene is on that page also. The background is embossed with swiss dots. I stuck a few snow flakes to it , then lots of pretty coloured sequins and stars.


I really love this Christmas Cartridge!

At the moment I'm spray painting a Kaiser Christmas tree , I'm writting this in between coats. Hopefully I'll have that to show you in a few days.

Have a great day

I've started..........

There are so many projects I want to create  for Christmas...........I really hope I get through the list, which is in my head at the moment! So I thought I'd show you some simple Christmas cards I've started to make using my Cricut.


Santa's Laundry.........Coat and pants / Paper doll dress up, Hat/ Joy of the Season.


I used Joy to the Season on these cards too. The cuttlebug really brings these cards to life . The edges of each image is inked with silver........its hard to see that in the photo.


The little dove on this one is from Sweet Hearts. I really like the white with just a touch of colour.


I have a Snow Globe to show you tomorrow...........

A bit late!

My Husband's birthday was last Thursday........I thought I'd show you the card I made for him , which I gave to him today. Yes, I know a couple days late........I did tell him it would be worth the wait! There has been a lot going on this week , I really struggled to find the time to do any craft.
It didn't quite turn out the way I wanted........I ended up just putting the presents , balloons etc where ever I could fit them. Anyway I thought I'd show you what I did to save my self a heap of time!




This is the inside, with a Happy Birthday pop up. The space at the bottom is where I wrote.


I originally got the idea for this card from Thienly at "Mod Papier" . The card base and popup are a SVG file which I cut out using "Sure cuts a lot". All the decorations are from Sweet Treats and a couple from Celebrations.


Now this is what I did to save a heap of time...........I had all the images I wanted to use on my Gypsy, I cut them on white card stock , left them on the mat and coloured them with copic markers. The card was quite thick so the colour did not bleed through onto my mat. I pieced all the layers together added some glitter, I was done in know time. I don't think you would ever know that it wasn't coloured card unless I told you!

  

I wouldn't do this for large cuts, I think I'd use to much ink , but for small areas it worked great!

Enjoy your weekend

My Wall art........

Here's a project I created a few weeks ago for
Mandy at "Scrappy-Go-Lucky" . She sent me the the new cuttlebug embossing folders "Retro Kitchen" ..........this is what I came up with. Quite a few different cartridges were used and the Cri-Kit gel pens. For all the details head over to SGL.




Can you see all the spoons, mixers, toasters etc. on the embossing below.........I love it!
How pretty are these flowers too!


And here's the final picture in the frame, which hangs on my kitchen wall. The flowers just fit behind the glass, with a little bit of squashing........


I had so much fun making this.........don't forget to get all the details from SGL!
