Day 657

With almost 2 weeks between posts you would think I didn't have time to make anything. But in the last 2 weeks I have made over 100 cards and countless tiles. Luckily I had a lot of card parts done, several good vinyl files for cards, my KNK and plenty of paper and vinyl. This Santa was a Lettering Delights file I believe. He is cut from paper and the gold stars and reindeer are vinyl as is the holly. The white background was embossed using my Cuttlebug.

Day 319

This card was made with an embossing folder from Crafts Too. I just added the With Sympathy which I cut from vinyl.

Day 232

Another card made with a Crafts Too embossing folder purchased at http://www.art-of-craft.co.uk/   It is butterflies! I used a coredinations paper that is called whitewash. The front is a pink that looks like it has been whitewashed. The core is a pretty pink. So when you emboss it and the lightly sand the images they turn pink. I used stickles on some of the butterflies and a piece of pink glimmer as the mat.

Day 231

When I first saw this folder I thought it would make a great sympathy card. I give cards to my mom. She is 85 and has said she needs to buy her sympathy cards in bulk. :O)
 The first one I made was this one. I used green chalk on the leaves and it said Spring, not sympathy. :O) I really like this folder!
It is also a Crafts Too folder purchased at http://www.art-of-craft.co.uk/

Day 230

Another card using an embossing folder from Crafts Too purchased at http://www.art-of-craft.co.uk/
It is a sweet trio of snowmen. I embossed them, used pastel chalks to color them, and outlined them and the snowflakes with stickles.

Day 229

This week I will have cards made with some of my new favorite things! There is a company called Crafts Too that makes embossing folders similiar to the Cuttlebug folders. They work in the Cuttlebug great! I ordered mine from                http://www.art-of-craft.co.uk/ . When ordering, remember that the price is sterling, not dollars.( Sterling is more than dollars) They also add on a VAT fee, not sure what that is, and postage was reasonable and it arrived within a week.
With this card I printed Happy Birthday on white cardstock. Then I cut it so that it fit into the embossing folder and embossed it. I used stickles on the stars, cut a piece of pink glimmer cardstock for a mat, and another card is finished. This card is so quick and easy it will be one that I make for the swim team and whatever group I donate to this year. My 3 year old grandson loves to help by turning the crank on the Cuttlebug. :O)
