Birthdays come around

Today's make is another challenge card for the Cuttlebug Spot, this week it's Round and Round it goes.

I have used my Cricut to centre and cut the the circle out of a square.

Who couldn't resist it the good ols faithful swiss dots embossing folder (I know it one of my favorite and a must have for us all)

The ballons are made as spinners so they travel around the circle. I have used some crochet thread which I have coloured to match my colour scheme and tied to the balloons. The ribbon has also been coloured to match as well.

Banner

Back with a short post for you today.

I've made a couple of banners for my nieces bedrooms.

 I need something to keep my mind distracted as I had some very sad news on Friday. 

My uncle passed away so I wanted a little project to distract me and put a smile

 on someones face.

I had a little womble about and found cuttlebug challenge and felt my little make would fit in just great

I cut the banner on my cricut along with the letters.

These have been inked around the edge and letters put through swiss dots embossing folder.

Ribbon has been threaded through with bows at each joint.

 Not forgetting a bit of bling it just wouldn't be complete without.

Tag - Butterfly

Hi

Back with another little make for you all.

Today I have used the Cricut to create a tag card as the base.

Next out came my wonderful Sizzix folder to emboss the butterflies ( I just love this folder).

Umm what to do next, yeah you guessed I cut another little tag to stamp my sentiment on (just fluttering by to say Hi )

Now I needed a little butterfly to finish off, so out came the my old faithful Indie Art Cartridge (this has to be one of my favourite carts)

 

I'm entering this in the following challenges:-

I have used a pearl pink card for backing and hand stamped the pink gingham.

The letters were cut using Storybook cart on the cricut

I know my photo skills are not great at showing this but I'm very pleased with the end product.

Hi back as promised with Callum's Birthday card.

Well what to make as a card when kids get in there teens.  I thought long and hard what to do but as he love to play on his laptop with his mates I thought I would try a replicate it.

I screen pic is of one of the games they all play, and as his lappy is black i kept to the colour.

I had a lot of fun making it, even if it took some time to put together.

Thanks for popping in
