Merry Christmas!!

I know I'm a bit late with the festive greetings but I did want to share an awesome and very basic print and cut I did on my cougar. I used these as my Christmas name tags this year. They came up beautifully!! Easily mass produced and delightfully quick and easy to make.

I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and that you enjoyed good food, good friends and lots of laughs!

Stay tuned for news of my new toy....it is AMAZING!!!!!!

Hello everyone,

It seems like FOREVER since I've posted on my little piece of cyber real estate. I have so much to share it's hard to know where to begin!! I'll start with a card.

I made this butterfly card for our little card swap group. For the splatter coloured card stock I used a spritz tool and just some cheapo markers and spritzed away. I love this effect and will be doing it again very soon! My butterfly is a print and cut using my new toy. Keep an eye out for coming posts about him :) See how close I got to his outline, and all with no fudge line either!! Awesome and dead easy compared to a regular gazelle print and cut. The sentiment was cut from vinyl. It's a little hard to tell from the picture but it is almost hair thin in some places. AMAZING detail! My butterfly was coloured in with my Spica pens. All shiny and shimmery. A bead of crystal effects for his body and your done.

Stayed tuned over the next couple of days to see what new goodies I have to play with and to see some more card creations as well!

Cheers,

white card stock challenge

Hey everyone,

here's a card I did for a challenge where you were only allowed to used white card stock and 1 other medium only. My other medium was H2O's.

Everything you see here was cut out using my Gazelle difital die cutter. including the rose and the paper lace ribbon. Pretty cool huh?

The rose and leaves were coloured with H2O's.

The rose file is from My Time Made Easy and the lattice and ribbon are Monica Bjork files (she does some amazing work!!)

This card was so easy to make and only took about 30 minutes to make not including waiting for the H2O's to dry. Impressive hey?

Have a fabulous day!

another card!

Here's another card I made today using that same gorgeous cardstock I used for the flower below. Everything here was cut out on gazza including the sentiment that was a print and cut. Too easy!!

Cheers,

a whole day of crafting!!!

Well I have managed to get a whole lot of crafting done today, kid is back at school and I don't start back at work until tomorrow so I made the most of my time!

Here's a card I did for the monthly challenge I'm currently involved in. The theme was "spring" so I decided to do a spring card :) I am thrilled at how it turned it. I can just imagine this as a card for a granny, something about the colours. Anyways, everything was cut out on gazza, except the bling in the middle of the flower and the butterfly. The word bloom was cut from gold vinyl. The flower was cut using some paper I bought from Dean last year. You can't see it in the picture but it has a lovely lustre to it, almost metallic. It's gorgeous!!

Have a fab day!

waterfall card

Here's the zoo themed card I made for this months card challenge.

I got the pattern from splitcoaststampers and made up the file using funtime. The images are all print and cuts using gazza. I also learnt how to use the x y axis function to put in my score lines on the pull down part of the card. SOOOOO easy when you know how!

Looking at the card now I probably should have said Just for ZOO instead of you :)

I love waterfall cards. They are really easy to make and very effective with the right images.

Enjoy,
