Cricut 'Wild Card' Series #2

Good afternoon!
My card today is the second in my Wild Card series; the 'Bandaid' or Plaster if you're English! :)


This is of course the perfect 'Get Well Soon' themed card and so I cut the phrase and its shadow from my Paper Lace cartridge and covered it in glitter glue to make it really sparkle!
I had these little flower die cuts in my stash that I layered up for embellies.

I added these to the base card that I had cut in the blackout feature and the liner feature is the small 'breathable' padded section in the middle, raised up on foam pads for dimension.

Another simple card but its so effective, when I gave it to my friend she was really impressed and it really stood out amongst the other cards she had been given!

TFL, Ni :) x

Quick Cricut Cards!

Oh dear, too much time has passed yet again in between posts for my liking! Just never seem to have enough time to sit and focus on writing, maybe I should waffle less, lol!

However I am pleased to say that I have been crafting a bit! 2 quick cards follow today using my still so very new cricut! & I have 2 challenge projects ready to share, with another in progress! :)

Here is the first card,


A really simple card made using a phrase and its' shadow from Paper Lace in the local football team's colours and some peel-offs stuck onto shiny white card and cut out, then layered onto foam pads!

Next up is this pretty girlie card:


Again made using Paper Lace but just the font function this time to spell the name. Clear embossed the tiny flowers (from the DC freebie cupcake set!) and added a few gems, ribbon and a 'fake' bow! Love it!

So that's it, 2 really quick simple cards, but each perfect for the recipient IMHO and I hope they like them! :) x

1st Cricut card & a mini canvas!

Almost another week gone by, crikey I've been so busy!

Here is a pic of my first proper card I made using my new Xmas Cricut Baby Bug! YAAAY!!!!! :)
Also used my new MS Monarch butterfly corner punch, and the small and large xcut flower punches.


I have just bought one of these little mini easels to put my cards on to take my photos and it came with a mini canvas. My cousin is decorating her little girls bedroom and so I thought this would look cute on her wall!


Again just a few little flower die cut/punched shapes, canvas painted with pink emulsion and the butterfly is a chipboard shaped I triple embossed with pink ink & embossing powder. I really like this and my cousin liked it so much she is putting on the bedroom door! :)

Another Cricut phrase card on the way soon, in very specific colours! Ni x
