Well hi there
bloggers,
Wow time sure does fly..... It has been over a month since my last post. :(
Well I have been rather busy, my poor mummy was in hospital for nearly 3 weeks, she is home now and on the way to recovery :)
It is also school holidays and have had the children home for 2 weeks... :) Time to go back to school on Tuesday...
Anyway I have been busy making my first pop-up cards, one for my daughter's 14
th birthday and one for my mum's 70
th birthday.
This is the one I made for my daughter. I have used for the images,
docrafts tatty bear stamps and have coloured them in with my favourite
promarkers, which I have had for a while, but still trying to get the blending side of them to perfection...
I have also used my fantastic
cricut machine for the inside pop-up, using a cartridge called "sweet treats" for the birthday cake and the paper from my stash. For the front I have used my
cricut again to cut out the "happy birthday", "14" and her name "Danielle", I have used
co-
ordinations card stock, called whitewash, and I have sanded the front, added some ribbon and a buckle.
And this is the one I made for my Mum. For the front of the card I have used a
docrafts image from the tatty bears collection. Cut out the wording from my
cricut again. Used some ribbon from my stash, inked the front of the card with distress ink, and a scroll stamp. I have used a "doily die" I purchased from
http://www.cheryllynndesigns.com/
and cut the image out using my spellbinders scallop circle cutter, and the flower at the top, I have used a die cut from
creatables that I purchased at
the craft stand and popped a rhinestone in the middle and have added a couple of flowers down the bottom from my flower stash.
For the inside pop-up, I have used a
cricut cartridge called, "Walk in my Garden" to make the flowers, and the paper from my stash (the same as I used for my daughter's card).
Thanks so much for looking, and feel free to leave your comments, have a great day everyone, and come back soon.
Bye for now
