Aud Sentiments Day...

It's week 2 of the challenge at Aud Sentiments which means I can finally reveal my make.  Sorry to say it's not one that I'm really proud of as I had so many problems making it including a printer that refused to take good card so I had to try and colour on duff stuff  and green card with a white core that when cut reveals a little too much white in my opinion.  However, I don't think the results are too embarrassing!

Our challenge this time is to use a two word sentiment which of course gives you loads of scope as there are so many good ones.  I decided to use this really snazzy useful 'Happy Birthday' sentiment by Ginny H.  It's free on the Aud Sentiments Challenge blog so do pop over and add it to your collection if you like it.  I know the team would love to see it used on your creations.

This fortnight we are being sponsored by Scrapper's Delight who have a huge range of digi images.  Do check them out if you haven't shopped there before. Fab stuff.  For my creation I used a cutie called Fruity Babies Strawberry and attached her in a 3D box of strawberries.

I really love these clever little boxes that are just so easy to make and yet so effective.  This one was made using a cutting file from SVG Cuts.  It came as part of a collection and I have a feeling that I will be making loads more of these over the coming weeks.  Here's the folded down version that slots into an envelope so easily.

Materials used...
  • patterned papers, green, white and red card
  • gems
  • sentiment by Ginny H freely available on challenge blog
  • cutting file by SVG Cuts 
  • image by Scrapper's Delight
Challenges...
Have a great week everyone.

A Fairytale Castle

Something a little bit different today - a fairy tale castle all in pink!  I think my daughter would love to live here.  The castle is a cutting file from the Silhouette Store and I think it is intended to be used as a shaped card, but I wanted to create a larger card with it and so I cut it in pink and then attached it to an 8 by 8 card.
The castle walls open up to reveal the sentiment.
Materials ...

  • Pink, white and silver mirri card
  • Silhouette cutting file no 63752 
  • brick wall embossing folder
  • silver embossed stickers by Papermania
  • gems

For a special lady...

Happy Mother's Day everyone.  Today I'm showing a card I made for my daughter to give my Mum.  It's a really easy peasy one created using a cut file from the Silhouette Store.  I've been obsessed with their cut files this last week - may have something to do with the half price sale that is on till the 17th March.

Materials...

  • Silhouette Store cutting file and Silhouette machine
  • gold mirri card and pearlescent card
  • organza ribbon
Challenges...
Have a great day whatever you are up to.
