Winter wonderland :)

I have officially finished making cards for the card swap I'm in!! 2 months ahead of schedule!!! WOOT!!

Here's the card I made for next months theme which is "Winter Wonderland".

I LOVE this card. It's so sparkly and shiny and BLINGY!!

Everything was cut out on my gazelle and the word 'sparkle' was done with my foiler. If you want to know what a foiler is and what it does just check out this site www.de-signsmadebyme.com.au . It's an awesome gadget to own if you're a cardmaker!!

Stay safe everyone and thanks for visiting my blog.

Boys will be boys!

After a delightful, and very rare, long week end for me I managed to get a couple of cards done for the card swap I'm in. This months theme is 'boys will be boys'. This is a case of another lady's card I saw somewhere on the interweb but I didn't book mark it!! So if this is you please let me know so I can credit you with the original idea :)

Everything was cut out on my gazelle then just layered up. The stars and the rocker outline are coated in a really thin glossy accents that you paint on with a nail polish brush. I really like using it for larger areas as it dries quickly and doesn't add a lot of glossy bulk but just a nice smooth, shiny glaze.

Have a great day!

Hi All!

Please excuse my photography skills today. It's too cold to go outside and take a photo so the next best place to do it was my desk!

I've recenly discovered a wonderful site that sells the most amazing cut files for a very reasonable price. Make sure you check out svgcuts.com. The Christmas tree above is one of their files and while it looks a little hard to assemble it was very, and surprisingly, easy to do. An added feature of this amazing site is the how to videos that show you exactly how to put together the item. Takes all the guess work out of it and you get the bonus of watching the lovely Mary in action :) Make sure you also check out their blog for some freebies and instructions for how to claim the free files they offer.

Hope everyone is staying warm and dry!

Cheers,

Shell xoxo
