Silhouette Cameo - 50th Birthday Cards!

Hello friends,

The time has been flying around here, so much so that I'm not managing to blog much!

At least I have two cards for you today...

I've made them both similar as these lovely people are married and have only a couple of days between their birthdays.

I designed each card in the Silhouette Studio software and have used Maja Design Papers, again!

There is an acetate layer, which you can just about see, this provided somewhere for the numbers to sit and an additional mat, which is pretty subtle, I think.

Hope you like my cards today, thanks for popping by.

Gelli Plate & ink - Get Well Soon Card

Hello Friends,

I've been messing around with my Gelli Plate.  I have decided that using paint on it, is far too messy for my liking, so I have given it another try - with ink!

Here is a little card I have made.....

I can't tell you how pleased I am with it.  I've used Stampin' Up stamps for the image and for the background dots and an old Adirondak multi coloured ink pad.

The size of the card was determined by the printed image and is not a regular sized card, not that that matters to me these days - I have a very clever man in my life and a Stampin' Up envelope maker!  The very clever man in my life, has written me a computer program making me able to make any sized envelope my little heart or card desires!

Enjoy your day, thanks for popping by and happy crafting.

Mum Card with Maja Design Papers

Hello Friends,

It's my MIL's birthday today and here is the card I made for her....

Everything has been cut using my Silhouette Cameo and all stamps and ink are from Stampin' Up.

It's a shame we can't see her on her birthday, I hate it that our family is so far apart!

Anyway, I do hope she likes the card and has a great day.

Hope you find some time to craft today and thanks for popping by.

Happy crafting.

Stamping with the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear & Stampin' Up

Hello Friends,

I am so happy, a lady in one of the Facebook groups that I belong to, has found my blog and left me a wonderful comment on FB.  With that in mind, I thought I ought to post something else, so here are the cards that my ladies had the chance to make at my Crop last weekend...

I used the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear for the circular pattern on the larger card at the back.  I love pattern building and the Stamping Gear makes the whole process a delight, in my opinion.

Here is a closer look at that card....

on the smaller card I decided to do some hand stitching, which believe me, is far neater than my machine stitching will ever be!  Here is a closer look at the smaller card....

I went through a stage of keeping samples of card stock in my handbag, so that when I past any shop selling cotton I could pop in and buy some cotton to match.....well I have so many cottons the colours of Stampin' card stock than I care to admit to, but at last - I've used some (although) I've matched the Stampin' Up ink with this one!

Oh well back to put a link to this on the FB page, for all my new crafty friends to see.

Thanks for popping by and happy crafting.

Party invitations - Silhouette Cameo

Hello Friends,

Just popping in with a few photos of some party invites I've just made for a "commission"!

They are simple, but I'm sure the lady who has requested them will be pleased with them.

The card stock is Primrose Petals and Whisper White from Stampin' Up, the paper - I've had for a while and is from K & Co (I think) and the cut file was from the Silhouette America online store!

Enjoy and happy crafting.
