Grateful for You .......Fun is Ahead

Happy Monday to You

Today I have two Design Team projects to show you.

The first one is for "The Shabby Tea Room".....love the simplicity of this inspiration photo.

The theme is Welcome Spring

My Card

 How pretty is this collage of 'Tea Time tags from 'Digital papers by Janet Etsy' sponsor of this challenge.

I've cut the large border in strips to create a wood panel look for the background, a little gesso and some distressing of the edges. Can you tell how much I love sequins........they find a way onto most creations at the moment. Just love the extra sparkle!

Be sure to have a peek at what the other DT girls have created.

........................

My second project is for "Stuck on U Sketches Die cuts"

The theme is Industrial - gears, lamp/light, typewriter, sewing machine, camera........just a few ideas. 

I decided to use a Typewriter from cricut 'Surburbia' cartridge. Using a typewriter font on my computer ,I printed out the details. The balloons were cut out of water colour paper using 'Celebration cartridge, then sprayed with colour shine.

How time flies!! Its hard to believe its been a year since these photos were taken.....Tori will be celebrating her 19th Birthday on Sunday.

Have a great week.......Happy creating

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

Welcome to my Blog

Hi Everyone, welcome to my first post........ For most of my cards, I use the "Cricut"! This is a card I made for my niece who turns 21 today. The balloons are cut using Celebations, embossed with the cuttlebug and then sprinkled with lots of glitter. Square shape cards are probably my favourite to make because I can pile lots of stuff on.
Just realised it co-ordinates beautifully with my blog background!

Inside the card I stamped the balloon.

Happy Birthday Ashleigh!

Bye for now Tracey
