card remakes.... using up scraps

Well I spent the afternoon yesterday remaking, editing and pulling apart some cards from my card box, some I didn't like and some that needed something added. And then making cards using up all of my scraps and precut shapes and embellishments etc... I feel much more organised now without hoarding precut shapes and bits and pieces....

Here are some of my remakes....

cricut tinkerbell

Here are the latest creations for the night... all from the tinkerbell cartridge...

cricut sesame street

a coupld of quick trials of the sesame street cartridge... very cute and fun!

cricut cards tinkerbell and expecting

Here are a couple of cards I made, one for my sister in-law for her birthday and the other for a lady leaving work again soon too have another baby....

cricut vinyl

How neat, I finally ordered some vinyl to try and it is super! I cut a design and stuck onto a CD tin and also decorated a jar.... wish I had more time to try some other things too.....

Alternative to chipboard

I can only find thick chipboard which will not cut in my cricut, so on thehunt for something similar I tried tim holts grungeboard and it is super and will do what I want.... here I quickly tired brayer or sponging onto it, embossing it (which worded and held the pattern) and heat embossingwith embossing powder...... I really wanted to make my own words using the cricut and wanted it tooo look like chipboard....

Dress up dolls cricut

Here are some dress up dolls I made for a couple of the wardrobe ladies, following a discussion of the good old days.... made them for a giggle... as these ladies have been dressing the cast every night for the local production of 42nd street... I even ended up doing wardrobe in between sound/radio mics!

cricut everyday pop up cards - butterfly

Here is a card (which I took the time to finish properly) as have the night off.... no more timeoff till sunday as working fulltime and also working back stage for 42nd street at the theatre... busy busy..

I really like this cricut cartridge although it may take a while to work out how some of the pop ups work... at least this one is easy.... the card can be displayed half open or laying flat completely open....

rabbit card cricut winter woodlands

this is a silhouette type card made from the cricut winter woodland set. I have layered the rabbit to add some colour....
