Cricut cards - baby, birthday etc

Tonights creations

Firstly a card from the January 2012 cricut magazine. a design by Alicia Thelin.

simple and smart

This is a card i made formy sister-in-law who recently emailed through her scan so I could see the progess.... I figured I'd send her a card to say thanks and which her well....













And lastly a card for a friend birthday coming up this month... she loves purple and used to do motorcross and is a pretty cool chick so hoping she will love this card....

cricut cards

Here are a couple of very quick cards I made using my new cricut cartridge, A child's life (i think that's what it called)... Not sure if I like the shadowing on the first one, maybe if I did the pic in white and shadowed with black and then put on blue card?? prob would have looked better.... i do like the silhouette look though!

Flower power

Everyone loves flowers, here are some more creations.....

Birthday inspiration - notepad books

My Auntie (not really my Auntie but the closest I have to one), gave me a lovely notepad giftbook today for my 39th (GULP!) birthday. I haven't taken a photo of it but it immediately inspired me to make some.

The pad was huge yet I only had small ones in my craft supplies so I made small notepad/books...

I can see I will need to make lots of these for Christmas stocking fillers!

Uspy daisy and embrace life

Here are some more re-creations based on some cards i made at classes last year...

Embrace life with dazzling diamond flower









Upsy Daisy - spotlight technique with dazzling diamonds on daisies





Upsy daisy with brayered background, I have also used the butterfly from Natural Beauty and stamped him onto heat shrink, coloured, cut and then heat shrinked...

















And lastly another upsy daisy with a heat shrinked butterfly....

Natural Beauty

I forgot how nice the natural beauty set is and haven't used it for a while as I used it far too much a while back...

I have used whimsical words which are just so lovely and coated the butterfly with super thick clear embossing powder, so it really shines!

This card is also based on one I made at classes with my friend Michelle last year. I do miss classes now she is no longer running them.... but still keep in touch.. She has an exciting new venture starting shortly, I hope it all goes well!

Watercolours

I thought I'd make a couple more cards tonight, however nothing went right and the only one I am really happy with is the last one on this post.

Fifth Avenue Floral

I finally decide to buy the Stampin Up set, Fifth avenue floral...

Absolutely love it!

Here are a couple of cards I have made with it so far...
