Two Christmas Cards

Many thanks for your lovely comments  on the Butterfly card - it's really  nice to get feedback on my freebies and makes posting them worthwhile. Welcome too to my new followers.

 I know it's still July but you have to start sometime with the dreaded C cards. I have to admit that I'm struggling a bit for ideas so I thought I would do a Diorama and a Shelf Card as I think they are a bit different but still fold flat for posting. They are both sprinkled with  glitter as was my little cat who was giving me a helping paw !!

Butterfly Card Freebie Cutting File

I really enjoyed making this card as it was so easy to put together so I thought I would share it with you. I decided to do it as white on white and used one of my cuttlebug folders to give some texture. I had to join the flower folder as it wasn't long enough for my card so have hidden the join with a layered strip of card. 

If you download the file please leave a comment and if you make and post a project with the template please link back to my blog.  Personal use only please.

The Cameo Spotlight Blog

Just thought I'd let you know about the Cameo Spotlight which is a new challenge blog for Cameo/Silhouette users. The first challenge starts on 11August so I hope you'll check it out, it really sounds like fun.

Swirly Cut Out Card

This is a card I've been working on today. I don't feel guilty as I did the housework first !! I didn't have the right colour ribbon to match the flower so I decided to make my own paper bow and I think it's come out quite well. I used my Swiss Dots embossing folder on the ribbon 'band' and also the centre panel. For the card insert I used one of my freebie papers

 The template is available from my website

LIM Challenge week 76 - 3 of anything on one layer

Think I still have time to get this in to Less is More Challenge, 3 of anything on one layer. The little cat is purchased vector image to which I have added the Christmas hat. I used Craft Artist for the speech bubbles and baubles.

Music Border Freebie

Been a bit busy lately and not had much time for posting so first of all I would like to say welcome to my new followers - nice to see my numbers creeping up a bit. I did promise a few days ago that I would post the cutting files I used for the Flourish Heart card so here they are.

Art Deco Shaped Aperture Card

I love all things Art Deco and here is another addition to my range of cards in that theme. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the top mat, must have had the folder for ages but don't think I've used it before but I thought it went quite well with the backing paper. To attach the feather I used peel offs, something else I've got loads of but seldom use these days. One day I must have a clear out !!
