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

Halloween Card Swap!

Hi Friends,

Today I'm sharing a card with you that I made for a Card Swap group that I joined in Canada. I love working with paper especially creating 3D projects but I'm new to making cards and not very confident when trying to get my ideas down onto paper! So joining this group challenges me to get it done!

This months theme is Halloween so after many different ideas I finally came up with the following card ... last minute changes and add ons ...

Cardstock was from my ever growing stash, the ghost image (Happy Haunting) was from Too Cute by Jessica a freebie from a recent Blog Hop on Craftin Desert Divas and the 'ribbon' text (Halloween Title Set $0.50) was from Miss Kate Cuttables. Both images were printed and I used the Silhouette print and cut feature.

I hope my card swap buddy enjoys this card!

Thank you for visiting!

Autumn shaker card!

Hi everyone,

Today I'm sharing my first ever shaker card. I belong to a new group on Facebook called 'Canada Card Swap' and September is the first month to share a card with the theme being Autumn.

I've only done a few cards before so the thought of making a card for another 'crafter' scares me but I watched a few YouTube videos, took the plunge, and decided to make a shaker card!

I used some paper from my stash, a free Autumn hedgehog image from Miss Kate Cuttables (now 50c) - he is so super cute!, acetate, sequins, glue dots, foam adhesive squares and scotch quick dry glue. I designed the card shape and cut out, used print and cut on my Silhouette and Canon printer for 'Hairy' the Hedgehog and used a silhouette file for the envelope design.

When I'm ready to mail to my crafter swap buddy, I'll use the cut out shape to seal the envelope.

During my nerves of sealing the acetate pieces some of my sequins got stuck to the foam squares! - but I don't think it looks too bad.

Thanks for looking at my card! See you again soon :-)

Happy Crafting!
