Grandparents

I have just heard that my friends have become Granparents for the first time I printed the gingham paper in word , the teddies are made with a little punch and the corners are a Cuttlebug die <>

Trees

T for Trees

is something I have made for a fat book swap ,we are doing the 4 seasons and have now just started the Autumn ones,I used a scene from an old wall paper book ,the picture continues on the back of the page,then I added some vellum over the top cut with a Fiskars scallop punch( I nearly used this last week for S)
I made a little window frame and covered it with some hessian print paper ,put a scrap of bronze card behind that was embossed with Cuttlebug Divine Swirls and popped a leaf on the top.

Icy Colours

A quick Christmas card for the icy colours challenge

the paper is by Dovecraft with a silver snowflake border, the bauble is cut from a circle punch embossed with Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder and a silver ribbon bow and peel off greeting,

the other border is sticky ribbon on the inside edge of the card

Eyelets

E is for Eyelets

The image is from Crafty Individuals and I used the Cuttlebug Paisley embossing folder on some pink card and rubbed over it with a red ink pad ,set 4 Eyelets in the side to match the colours on the image and threaded some ribbon through the holes.

W---White

fat book page with white pearlised card embossed with Cuttlebug Script folder, and image from Crafty Individuals

R---Red

I made this for my two best friends from school for their Ruby Wedding,
it is a deep red DL card with red vellum overlaid embossed with Cuttlebug Paisley, I cut a strip of red glitter card with scallop scissors to hide the join on the vellum as the cuttlebug can only do small pieces ,and punched a heart from the glitter card with a large Woodware scalloped heart ,the 40 is Quick Kutz Studio font and I added some red organza ribbon round the side of the card

I for Ink

this is a Sketch fat book page made for a swap,
the image is Crafty Individuals and we had to add some brads and embossed card ,I used Cuttlebug Script and rubbed it over with a deep red ink pad

Christmas Houses

Here are my Christmas Houses for the swap on Craft Swap Forum
they are ATC size (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") plus the roof on top which is embossed with the Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder
the lettering and other decorative bits on the Green and Blue are from Hot Off The Press papers and the Red one has bits cut from old cards

E for Elephant

I have made a Fat Book Page with oriental paper,bronze mirri card,gold pearl paper embossed with a Cuttlebug square folder and a little embroidered Elephant motif.

C for Circles

I used the Cuttlebug Bubbles embossing folder on a square brown card with a strip of black card to hide the join (because the cards are wider than the folders)
then stuck a giraffe peel off onto black card and added the greeting

Lace Tree on Acetate

I have used the Cuttlebug Lace Tree folder on some acetate and coloured the back with Whispers a pen , attached to the dark green card with 4 tiny red brads , added a star brad at the top and some sticky ribbon down the side to hide the join

Jungle Cards

a couple of quick men's cards
I embossed a small cuttlebug dotty square on the top of tall thin cards
added a peel off greeting and jungle toppers and borders from Papercraft Inspirations papers.

E for Embossing

next in the Alphabet Challenge letter E
I used 2 toning shades of pink pearlised card and embossed with the Cuttlebug the top is Birds & Swirls and the bottom is Script, I stuck them onto a DL card and added some pink organza ribbon to hide the join

C for Cuttlebug Colours

here is this weeks Alphabet Challenge
C for Cuttlebug Colours and also Cinque because there are 5 stripes if I am allowed to cheat with a french word
I got the idea from a handbag I bought recently with different coloured strpes on.
I used the Cuttlebug borders on some iris folding strips as they were just the right width, added a bit of spotty ribbon to a greeting and some pearls to the flower centres

Bird Call

I have just bought a new cuttlebug folder Bird Call after seeing a card made with it
it is a pale lilac pearlised DL card ,I embossed the top part with the bird Call folder and the bottom section with Swiss Dots and added a ribbon to hide the join

Silhouette

an Atc for Craft Swap Forum's Silhouttes challenge
I used a cuttlebug swiss dots folder on plain white card and then cut out my aperture with a craft knife,the paper I used for the iris folding was shiny black from some junk mail
if you are familiar with my Atcs you will know that I always do iris folding

Birds & Swirls

another Cuttlebug card this time for the Craft Swap Forum anything goes challenge ,I set it this time and chose dry embossing because I am sure there are a lot of people with new Cuttlebugs waiting to be used
I coloured the little birds to match the ribbon

Cuttlebug Squares

I have been playing with my Cuttlebug today as I had forgotten which folders I had actually got ! so I used some card scraps as a reference then I cut some of the pieces of card into squares and added peel off borders to make this card

Cuttlebug Baubles

I used the new Cuttlebug Bauble die for these 2 cards
