Today the fabulous Suzanne has set our challenge over at BBTB2.

In honour of the imminent arrival of her first Grandson she has asked us to make a project for a little boy and to use the colour blue. It doesn't have to be a birth card but you must use a blue cricut cut!

 

Here is my little cutie...

 

 

I used Create A Critter - dog at 3"

                                              Kennel at 3"

                                                            Fire hydrant at 1.75"

Lots of inking,embossing and layers.

Zva Creative and FCCB Challenge

Hello,Happy Monday Everyone. I would just like to say hello to all my followers new and old.

I appreciate all of you.

Today over at FCCB we are celebrating birthdays and want to see a candle on your project.

The fabulous Zva Creative provided pearl flourishes and gems to use on my card. I love how this turned out.

I made a card similar to this last year but made some improvements to it!

My previous one was smaller and didn't stand well but I played with the design to sort that.



I love the pearl flourish on the flame.

Recipe

Wrap It Up - 10"

I used my gypsy to weld the candle into a card.

I hid the contours and removed the flame from the back part.

I cut the layers for the front and then cut the lower layers for the inside.

This gave it more weight and at this size supports itself well.

DP - Echo park - Hello Summer

Teeny Tag Greetings and die - My Creative Time

Vintage photo ink and 3d foam

Gems and pearl flourish - Zva Creative

Check out all the inspiration over at FCCB and come and join in the fun.

We love seeing your projects.

Thanks for stopping by.

Anyone for Fresh Baked Mice?!!

 

 

 Whimsical Calendar Days fits perfectly on the Trifold Card.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2012 - September



Hello Friends,hope you are having a great week...it's flying already.

 

Last week I got my mini bluprint stamps and used them to play in the 

12 Tags of 2012. Love these stamps!

 

 

I have been trying to get a better photo of this tag and struggled. So in the end I decided to post this photo anyway or it will be October!!! LOL.

 

Loved the way the meatlwork showed up but thought something was wrong with it......

My metal snowflake had fallen off!!

 

I made my faux riveted tag and decided to make it 'the earth'.

 

 

 

 

 

To see Tim's tag and all the other entries click on the link above.

Off to secure with glossy accents!!

Thanks for looking.

some form of transportation.

I made them beige!! Pink didn't seem appropriate!!

Shrink plastic and whimsy sentiment for car badge ...washi and shrink plastic kick going on!!!!!

My Creative Time stamps for the dice - flocked.

Glossy accents for lights

Shirt shaped Card and Fantabulous Crawl Winner

Good Morning Crafty Friends.

Today is a new challenge over at BBTB2. My very sweet and talented friend,Stephanie, is host and

has chosen a shaped card as our theme,using any cricut cart.

 

I have a plethora of Dad cards to make for next week (ok...maybe a slight exageration...but I need

a couple at least!!)

 

 

 

Photo removed for publication.

 

 

 

 

I used CTMH Artiste.

My card is cut at 4.5" and envelope at 4.75".

I cut the envelope slightly bigger because I add so much dimension to my card.

What wonderful projects!! I love the file folders - perhaps as I was hunting for something like that for my desk at work!! Nothing I found came anywhere close to yours! Great pencil box too!

My favourite stationary item is little notepaper - especially when it has a sweet little picture on it.

 

 

Congratulations Kate!

 

Thanks for stopping by.



DIY Washi tape Tutorial

Hi Everyone! Hope you're having a great weekend.

 

Part of my My Creative Time order arrived this week which were from Emma's

latest release. So I have been busily making lots of variations of tri-fold cards and envelopes.

 

I used washi tape on one of the cards I made and  really liked the look.

 

 

 

So decided to have a go at making my own!

 

 

 

 

 

Basic masking tape placed on my glass mat...you could use a craft sheet.

 

I stamped in archival ink.

 

I wiped a corner of my distress ink pads onto the glass mat, added water and coloured in.

 

I attached them to acetate to store.

It's very addictive to make!

 

 

 

 

 

It's so easy,this will be fab for Christmas packaging!!!

 

List of supplies:-

Card Sentiments,3 x3 Fancy envelope Die,Stitched Scallop and Circle Die,

All Around Halloween,All Around Everything and Accessories - My Creative Time.

Tim Holtz Mini Blueprints

Masking Tape

Distress Inks

 

Thanks for looking.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
