Scary cards - cuttlebug

Here are a coupld of scary cards made using my cuttlebug.

I saw the spider and bat(2) cut and emboss 3x3 set on trademe, usually $30 and only $10 so I grbbed the bargin thinking I already have the haunted house and spider web embossing folder..

So please i did, I think they turned out well...

I have to admit though that the spider card is still creeping me out! I can image sending it to someone and them dropping it when they open it - ummmm who do I want to scare????

Train and houses - SU wheel with ink cartridge

I finally got around to trying out the black ink cartridges I bought for the Stampin Up wheel stamps... It works so well I wish I had more colours!


The first card is the train on the inside full of presents....



















The second is the truck with houses on the inside....



They were a lot of fun to make.

Brayer - upsy daisy

I thought I'd give this brayer technique another try tonight. This is a design by Zindorf, she makes amazing cards... I followed her instructions which can be found on her blog and also on splitcoast stampers website.

I still need alot of practice, I can't seem to brayer properly, maybe I use too much ink??

Photo Calendars 2010


And another couple of designed added tonight....


Last year I made lots of calendars, which surprisingly sold very well.... I didn't make any for this year as I didn't have time, however, a couple of ladies at work have been asking for them. So here are 3 I made tonight. I decided not to do the stand up ones this time and have tried 3 other options.
My favourite is the one with the star paperclip.




This one would need to be pinned up on a wall and hangs with two months showing.....




This is my least favourite but good to hang up and pick up to use....

More Easter Cards - Pop-out bunny 3D card

Here is another easter creation, I kept the front of the card plain as the detail is in the inside with the pop -out frame (3D) and the bunny peeker.

















And another one for a lady at work, she specifically wanted pink and blue....

Motorbike card

Another request from a lady at work has kept me very busy tonight, I had no idea how I could make a moterbike birthday card.... but this is what I ended up with.

Unlike the penguins in my previous post, I only had to try this once.
