Beautiful You

The butterfly and sentiment strip/ tag are by K & Company.

I embossed some pink card in my Cuttlebug and then roughly swiped a Versamark pad over, sprinkled with gold embossing powder and then brushed some off in places before heating. I wanted random parts of gold not an all-over coverage.

Just A Note

I spotted a card on Pinterest the other day and knew I wanted to make one very similar. I loved the simplicity of the embossing folder and the printed sentiment.

I've mounted mine very slightly differently and also added some black silk ribbon but it's still almost a direct copy.

I carried the 'just a note' theme one step further and made the card into a money wallet. 

Glorious

Sentiment is a Woodware stamp

Cuttlebug embossing folder

Joy and Cheer

Having been ill I'm struggling to get back into crafting at the moment so a very simple card here.

It's Cuttlebug embossing folder 'Joy and Cheer' and I've highlighted it with some Glamour Dust.
The snowflake is a brad I've had in my stash for about a decade.

The ribbon looked very flat and limp and I wanted it to curl.
I wrapped it around a pencil and blasted it with my heat gun for about ten seconds or so and this seems to have done the trick. In future I'll try and remember to use a couple of strands of ribbon if doing this as it doesn't look very full whereas when it was straight it was enough for the card.

Celebrate

Quick and simple!

Thanks

I'd been looking for a bird-cage die for ages and finally found one I liked enough to buy.
Some of the others I'd seen were too big or too chunky-looking or I just didn't like the shape so I was quite excited to spot the perfect die.

This one is by Memory Box and is called Carousel Bird Cage. Here's why I like it:

From the one die I can get at least four different sizes of cage (maybe another one if I chop that little loop off the top). I've just trimmed the cage down each time, the last one shown on the right I've turned it upside down too. So for me this wasn't just the best cage die in regards of size but also the most versatile.

Here I've used a SU punch but it felt cruel putting the bird inside the cage so he's sitting on it instead!
The paper is Echo Park 'Candy Shoppe' and the sentiment is a Cuttlebug die.

Rainbow

Rainbows and clouds cut with Die-namics dies.
They're a bit time consuming to do so I decided to cut each one in half to get two cards out of one rainbow.

Celebrate

Bit of a grungy one.
Sentiment stamp is Waltzingmouse.
The 'splatter' stamp (can just make it out on the above photo) is Stampin' Up "French Foliage".
Patterned acetate is by Kanban.
The kraft tag is Papermania and I've distressed it and embossed with Cuttlebug Clockworks folder

Gorjuss

Another Gorjuss tag, ribbon by Stampin' Up.

Chinese New Year

To celebrate Chinese New Year.
I used SU card, ribbon, gold cord and tag punch. Embossing folders are both Cuttlebug.

Baby

My friend had a baby boy the other day, this was the card I sent.

The vellum quote is an old one from DCWV and I mounted it on Bazzill Bling cardstock, attaching with Bazzill brads.
White pearlescent cardstock embossed with Cuttlebug polka dots folder and the ribbon is from my stash.

Christmas

Vellum quote is by Papermania as is the ribbon.
Embossed background made with Cuttlebug and some glitter glue.
I'm not happy with this one - it just doesn't look Christmassy to me!

Wedding

I recently had to make three wedding cards for an order.

I knew what I was going to do and ordered the stash necessary, unfortunately it did not arrive in time and then we had an emergency at home so I was very pushed for time.

I'm not happy with the resulting cards but here they are anyway.

I used HOTP swirl stamps to liven up the plain lilac card, the white card has a gorgeous gold sheen to it and has been embossed with my Cuttlebug.

Sentiment was done on the computer.

Special Day

Kraft cardblank is by Woodware.

Textured card by DCWV, embossed with Cuttlebug.

Stitched sentiment is by K&Company.

Waltzingmouse

Two similar Christmas cards.

Both made using Nestabilities dies and Waltzingmouse stamps.

The top one is SU cardstock and ribbon, the bottom is some very old K & Company paper.

Green strip on top card was made using Cuttlebug embossing die and some gems for interest.

Cherish

I ran some Coredinations card through the Cuttlebug using a Clockworks folder. I then used a sanding block to remove the top colour and finished with a fabric sticker and a scrap of ribbon. Not sure where the sticker is from, it's been in my stash for years.

Cards for men

Two very similar cards.
Just DCWV textured card that has been embossed using Cuttlebug Argyle folder and a couple of mini folders for the sentiments.
The kraft card blanks are by Woodware.
