CRICUT GINGERBREAD MAN

To add to my gingerbread man obsession found this cut on my paperdolls cartridge (next to mrs clause) and is a very cute man as he is quite chunky and cuddly. Bakers twine and ribbon from stash - eyes are card candy.

toot toot two!!

Another train card for a baptism - love this layout - engine and carriage numbers are relevant to the little boy with d.o.b. and date of christening and weight of baby all noted.

Pieces all cut from New Arrival cricut cartridge - embossed with cuttlebug folders and inked - card was all bazzill. Texture added to grass and clouds with chalks. Text is again doodlebug all mixed up font.

80 YEARS YOUNG

This card was made for a Sunderland Football fan who is celebrating his three score years and 10 and 10 more this weekend. Tomorrow is also my own mother's 80th birthday. This makes me feel quite middle aged!!

Football frame, shirt and boot all cut on cricut with soccer cartridge. Shirt was cut twice and then sliced to make stripes (as authentic as possible) Numerals were chipboard coloured with promarkers and glittered with diamond stickle glitter glue.

TOOT TOOT!!

These three images make up the card for a forthcoming christening. The numbers on the engine and the wagons are made up of information about the little boy. His date and time of birth and his weight and also the date of the christening itself. Engine and wagons were cut from bazzill on the cricut and then put through cuttlebug folders to give texture. Inked around the edges for more definition. Buttons are by doodlebug. Text created with large doodlebug rubons - 'all mixed up' Gingham ribbon is from the papermania capsule collection.

Easy like Sunday Morning

I have had a pleasant morning crafting, and these were the results.
First up is Santa which was cut from Cricut Paper Dolls cartridge. Papers are bazill and My Minds Eye.

Secondly is image created with Penny Black stamp - 'Weight of Love' - papers are papermania and charms are from Whiff Of Joy. I have used Spellbinders circle and scalloped circle and also Martha Stewart Valentine heart punch.

FOOTIE FAN

This card was for my crafty neighbour who adores football and supports Sunderland A.F.C. - I ofcourse have no interest in the sport but hey - each to his own!
- she was ofcourse thrilled with it. I had a chance to use my new kids dymo machine - £1.99 from ebay - a bargain and I intend to use if often for adding text and sentiments.

The shirt was cut from the football cartridge on my cricut - cut two shirts on shadow and cut and pieced to create the stripes.

Rock on!!

Aren't men and boys so difficult to make cards for?? and this was no exception as the recipient is aged 12.

Papers are from D.C.W.V. 12"x12" Rockstar and bazzill bling, guitar, skull and rock text cut from cricut Indie Art cartridge. Other text from cricut Plantin Schoolbook.

Guitar parts glittered with stickles black.

The paper actually looks pink in this photo but it's just a trick of the light.

A girl can never have too many shoes.....

I haven't done one of these for almost a year but was asked to make this for a christening. Quite enjoyed this one....... but don't want to make another for a while as they take FOREVER to put together.

Card was bazzill, alpha cuts from cricut 'New Arrival' , doodelbug heart shaped buttons and ribbon from stash.

The tag has been left blank for the giver to add a personal sentiment.

SUBLIME TO RIDICULOUS

Just wanted to show you the two cards I made yesterday which contrast each other for apparent reasons.

The first is a sympathy card for a friend who's ex mother in law recently passed away- this had to be a subtle and sensitive card. I Chose the cuttlebug 'stylized flowers' embossing folder which was tinted with pearlised chalks, embellished with pearls, mounted onto very pale pink bazzill.

The second card was for my daughter to give to a friend on her 21st birthday and the sky was the limit - hence super colourful and flamboyant. Numerals cut on cricut from Plantin Schoolbook cartridge, embellished with ribbons from stash and doodlebug buttons. All card was Bazzill doodlebug brights.

These two cards show the contrasting celebration of young life and the passing of old.

Be our Guest!!

Another card for a friend's daughter who is 21 tomorrow - this one is for the friend to give to the daughter and she is a Disney Fan and will be going to Florida for a 2nd visit shortly.

Image cut from 'Dreams Come True' cartridge on cricut and has taken me absolutely ages but well worth it!!

'Chip' is my favourite character from 'Beauty and the Beast' and is here with his mum 'Mrs Potts'

All card is Bazzill.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Was just playing around last night and made the easiest card ever - just a trellis pattern embossed on a scorpal and flower embellishments from punches with edges inked. Text is cut from Wild Card Cricut Cartridge. Border edges are Martha Stewart doily lace and small heart punches. Button and ribbon from stash.
