Many Happy Returns…

Hiyah!!

After a bit of a batch of boyish cards of late, it’s time to get back to a more feminine project I think. I bought my first Prima paper pack last week, I plumbed for the ‘Annalee’ stack and I love it! I picked 2 of the bolder colour patterns to coordinate with my black accents which bring me to today’s freebies, I have the decorative frame cut file for you along with the sentiment I used. I layered my sentiment with Spellbinders Labels 6 & 18 and my frame, used some black crochet lace to edge my top layer then a added a silk ribbon and a couple of gems.

Here is your cut file – formats included are ai, dxf, gsd, pdf, studio & svg:

Night time eyes

Good Evening!

Just popping in to share a card I made for my Brother who often walks his dog in the evening or at night. Initially I was stumped for what to do when my Mum reminded me of some different sized wobbly eyes I purchased recently and my Dad came up with the design so it was a real team effort. I love the way that your imagination runs riot thinking of what creatures could be hiding behind those eyes.

Have a good evening!

Good Afternoon!

I have a card to share today that was made for a family member who enjoys fishing so I thought I’d make a comical scene with a big menacing shark who’s about to get hooked and of course I have the individual elements as freebies for you :) I cut all of my pieces out on my Silhouette so I have all of the relevant cut files for you and I also have the digi versions if you’d like to colour them instead.

I used textured card stock for my pieces and sponged them with coordinating distress inks to add some dimension.

I punched a hole in my backing papers and attached my boat with 2 pennies and 3d foam tape just as you would for a penny slider card. There is no channel for the pennies to slide along, just a hole, so it rocks in place making my boat look as though it is bobbing on the waves.

This photo shows that I sandwiched some acetate between the layers of my boat cabin for my window.

My hook was a homemade affair, I bent some florist wire and attached it to some thread to make the fishing line, the hook swings around as the boat rocks. My shark was cut in grey card then I coloured his teeth with a white gel pen.
