Some Summer Fruit!

Hi Friends,

Today I'm sharing a card with you using the files from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons - I'm not a big card maker so every time I make one it's a challenge for me ... lol ... hopefully practice makes it 'better' for me! :-)

I used these two files from their collection of cutting files

I chose my card base and background colours, added my own caption 'you're berry berry special' and sent if off to print and cut to my Canon and my Silhouette Cameo. (Looking at it now I think I should have a comma between my two 'berry' words!!)

I decided to add some 'shine' to some of the stems and used my dimensional magic from Mod Podge.

I printed a separate basket of Strawberries and used some foam pieces to give it depth.

I hope you enjoyed my project, thank you for visiting today!

Happy Crafting

Some crafting goodies!

Hi Friends,

I've been 'missing' from my craft room lately and had a few minutes to get into my space and do a bit of tidying up ... not much got done as I was distracted when I found some stash to admire ;-).

I did find some gift tags and a Father's Day card (now birthday card!) that I'd already completed so I decided to share those with you today!

The gift tags are from Dreaming Tree and are a free file called Blossom Tag:

Aren't they so cool!? 

The Fathers Day card from Lori Whitlock (as previously mentioned one of my favourite designers) was also a freebie at the time and is available at the Silhouette Store for $1.25. I'd made it for my hubby for Fathers Day and forgot about it (my son had given him something else) ... but it's his birthday coming up so we will give it to him then :-)

Thank you for visiting today!

See you soon

Card ... oh card!

Hello everyone!

I love using my die cutting machine for all my projects - especially 3D projects which are awesome! - but I'm struggling a bit with cards ...!

So todays challenge to myself was to make a thank you card for our neighbour who baked my hubby a rhubarb crumble for his birthday and to thank her for making me buy some vanilla bean ice cream to go with it! ;-)

I love the last minute addition of the flower and accessory!

I had an already made card base from Michaels in my stash so I decided to use that - anything to ease myself into cards - and the patterned paper is from the 'South of Market' collection paper pad, Studio Calico (which has some fab patterns).

Thanks for visiting,

*Vicki*
