Inspired by Pinterest....again!

I saw this; http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1135499?&cat=7606
On Pinterest and was inspired to make this card.

Wreath card...

Another lovely Penny Black stamp, and once again I have layered it up! The background is from  the "Holly Ribbons" cuttlebug folder, and the sentiment is a Hobby Art stamp.

Little Claire Christmas

I have been off work this week with sciatica.....incredibly painful, and not easy to find a comfortable position to sit, lie, stand in. Anyhow, I have managed to make just a few cards during my moving from place to place around the house! This one uses a Little Claire stamp which I have layered, and a good old cuttlebug background.

My first Christmas card!!!

And it is still only May! I did, however, vow to make at least one every week this year, and this is my first so far, so I am actually far behind rather than far in front!

Anyhow, this is a lovely stamp by Penny Black. The saclloped border is cut from Plantin Schoolbook, and the scalloped circle from Birthday Bash. The background is embossed with both the snowflakes and the swiss dots designs. I am entering this card in the "D is for dog" alphabet challenge here http://alphabetchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/d-for-dogs.html and the card patterns challenge here http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/2011/05/sketch-117.html

You are a star....

Another good luck card for the most fantastic student who has been on placement with me. I bought him a mug with a blue star on it that said "You're a star", so I made this card to match! I cut five stars from Plantin Schoolbook, and layered them up for depth (I had already embossed the top one with the "bloom dots" folder.) I welded a row of small starts together and embossed them with the same folder to go inside the card. A bit plain, but as it's for a man I think it's ok.

Happy Birthday!!

Both the cat and the party hat are from the Doodlecharms cartridge. I welded them together in Design Studio, and then cut several layers to give it some dimension. The background is embossed with the cuttlebug "Happy Birthday" folder.

Season's Greetings

I just love the way this sentiment cuts out. It is from Beyond Birthdays. I embossed the background with the cuttlebug snowflake folder. Very simple!

Happy Birthday...from the dog!!

It is my husband's birthday next week, and the dog gave me careful instructions to make this card!!!

The dog is cut from Paper Pups, and the balloon is from Pooh and Friends. I used the cuttlebug birthday folder to emboss the background, and then used a brown inkpad to bring out the detail. The dog thinks it looks ok!!!!

New Martha Stewart punch - Frosty Village

I loved this punch so much I just had to have it !! I combined it with some Christmas papers, and then with a couple of cuttlebug folders, and some stickles and glamour dust.

Snowy village

I was inspired by a number of beautiful cards that I have seen on the Cricut message boards recently. It is all cut from the Christmas Solutions cartridge. The ground is embossed with the cuttlebug "Divine swirls" folder. The trees are sprinkled with a mixture of "Flower Soft" and fine glitter.

More lovely Ollyphant stamps!!

I love these stamps. With this one I tried really hard to match the colours to the paper I was using. I'm fairly pleased with the result.

A bright birthday!!

Very simple...embossing with the cuttlebug "Happy Birthday" folder, and a hat cut from Doodlecharms.

cupcake craft challenge

This challenge was to use certain colours (Stampin' Up colours, or close matches to them. )The frame on this card was cut from Home accents, and both the butterflies and the embossing were done on the cuttlebug.
