New Baby...

While I was using my silhouette the other week I cut loads of bits and bobs out and stashed them in a box to made up into cards at a later date.  This is one of the finished works - a very quick and simple baby card. The file is one from the Silhouette Store and is so useful.  
The design is by Daniela Angelova and is Design ID #46676 in the store.
I simply cut it out - mat and layered it on to white card and mirri - added some gems and job's a good un!

A cute card to have in the card box for those need a card now moments.

My halo is shining...


I've finally finished tidying and sorting the final wardrobe in my craft room. Oh boy it has taken some time!!  I still need to do some decent labels as my printer decided it didn't want to do any work yesterday so I've just made some temporary hand written labels while I sort out what's ailing my printer.



It was sheer bliss crafting this morning and being able to find things straight away.  I used punches that I haven't used since buying (if then) and even got out the big machine for applying eyelets - sheesh every time I use that I have to read the instructions again.  Must use it more often cause it actually does quite a good job.
Made quite a few projects, but will have to keep a couple of them secret for a little while.  Hoping to join in some challenges again now and enjoy using all the stash I can now access without doing myself an injury.

Happy Birthday Max...

Yeah it's my best buddy Max's birthday today and this is the card I posted out to her earlier in the week.  I do love mirri card, but it really doesn't photo very well.  Loads of stuff going on here - the ruby slippers are embossed with a glitter embossing powder and the cogs on the shoes are decoupaged and attached with silver brads.  The die cut cogs and birthday sentiment are all cut from a really glitzy red glitter card which sadly is not showing up much in the photo.  Sigh - this card looks much better in real life - honest!

Materials...

  • Stampendous cling stamp 'Ruby Slippers' - embossed with both plain black embossing powder and red glitter.
  • cogs embossing folder
  • cog and sentiment dies
  • red glitter card, silver mirri card and plain white base card
Challenges...
Off to get ready for the Ross Papercraft Show in Doncaster now.  Only looking as I really don't need any more stash - LOL!
Have a great day whatever you are up to.
