Cute Card Thursday Challenge

Week 4 of the summer holidays already! It's flying by and the weather hasn't been too bad in Scotland so far.

But onto this week's Cute Card Thursday challenge and the theme for this week is

For The Birds

I've used Papermill white hammered and kraft card. I've stamped the ink blots and lines with clear embossing ink and then embossed with white embossing powder. I also stamped the text with black memento. The little birds and branch have been cut with my Cameo and it's a Lori Whitlock file. To co ordinate the birds I used a white pen to add some spots. The sentiment is a Dylusions stamp.

This week we are sponsored by Digiscrap Boutique. One lucky winner will win some of their goodies.

My other DT teamies have made some great bird projects, we'd love to see you joining in with us. You can see all their lovely work and details on how to join in on the CCT blog.

A bit of Tri Fold Gorjuss

Today's make is a Tri Fold Lace card. It has been cut on my Cameo and is a file by yes you guessed it Lori Whitlock. Yesterday the new files came out in the Sil shop and this is just one of them that caught my eye. There are also three other styles in the tri fold card range too, all avialable from Lori's store of the Sil store.

I've cut it with Papermill Direct white linen card, my fav card to use with my Cameo and Explore.

This is the card closed , it is held together with a little band.

And here it is open.

I've coloured the Gorjuss girl's skin and hair with Shin Han pens.

As always a great file to cut, easy to put together too. They can be found in her shop or in the Silhouette store.

The card base is Papermill white linen and the papers are by Recollections - Mosiac Memories and the sentiment stamp is by Lily of the Valley.

And also save 10% on a small box of card (approx 80 sheets) until Monday 14th July at 9am!

I cut out the card blank and drew the border and phrase on my Cricut Explore onto my favourite card , Papermill white linen. Really love this card it is so crisp and looks really elegant. I then printed this digi image "Overload at School" by Sassy Cheryl onto white linen and coloured it with Shin han and spectrum noir pens. I cut it out leaving a little border and then adhered it to the card with 3D pads.

Next is a little card and chocolate bar wrapper set.

Favourite Things

Three of my favourite things today ......

Gorjuss Girls

Lori Whitlock file

Patterned papers

The card has been cut with my Cammie using Papermill white card and a Lori Whitlock file called 3D stand up card: Birthday Balloons.  Really easy but effective card to make. It has a fold in the middle so it stands up nicely. I've used a lovely little 6x6 paper pad by American Crafts in the Dear Lizzy range it's called Lucky Charm.The stamp is an older Gorjuss girl stamp, the older ones are a bit smaller and suit this style of card better. I've paper pieced her with the same papers. The sentiment has been done on my computer.

Lori Whitlock file - Birthday Balloons (also available in the silhouette store).

I made this yesterday , what shall i make today???

Hi bloggers, I have decided to step down from my DT post on All Dressed Up , so I am only on the one DT now that is Cute Card Thursday. I will be staying on CCT too. I was DT right from the start and it's a fab DT to work for.

I am wanting to concentrate more on my 3D work. I have a Silhouette Cameo which I love but I also have a Cricut Explore on preorder. I really enjoy making 3D projects and it chills me out which I need right now. 

So in saying that I've had time to make this fab pop up card for my daughter to give to her teacher at the end of the term. 

Of course it's by my favourite designer Lori Whitlock and is called A2 desk pop up card. It's available in the Silhouette store.

Here is the front of the card

And here is the inside pop up desk

Isn't it cool? You can dress it up however you want. I made mine a bit masculine as it's for a male teacher.

Silhouette file : Lori Whitlock A2 desk pop up card.

Papers: WRMK - Hall Pass

Brads: My stash
White card: Papermill

I'll be doing lots more 3D projects very soon and when I get my Explore I'll let you know how it is.

Cute Card Thursday Challenge

This week's Cute Card Thursday Challenge is

Text Only

I have used my Cammie to cut out the card file by Lori Whitlock. I seem to be drawn to her files but I know that they will come out perfect every time, so tend to use them.

I've embossed each layer with an embossing folder and gone round the edges with a red ink. The sentiment is from a longer one by Inkylicious.

Cameo file : Lori Whitlock - A2 heart pop dot card

We;d love to see your text only projects and this week we are sponsored by Creative Classroom.

Window Slider Card

Hello bloggers today I'd like to show you a card I just made.

Because of health reasons I've given up most of my DT work except the two which I feel I want to keep on. But now I have more time to do what I love doing most and that's using my Cameo to make 3D projects.

So there will be lots of those on my blog very soon including one for this week's CCT on Thursday.

Enough waffle now onto today's card.

I used a file by my favourite designer Lori Whitlock - Window slider card : bracket. You can find it in the Sil store.

The papers are by American Crafts and are called Colour Crush.

And of course the image is a Gorjuss image called Bluebird Proposal.

More from me on Thursday .

Creative Expressions

Friday already and it's time for my DT post for Creative Expressions.

This month we were given two lovely stamp sets

Heartfelt Creations Delicate Asters and Heartfelt Creations Open Vintage Floret 

I've used my Cammie to make the Lori Whitlock Double picture frame. I've cut it from Co ordination cardstock and distressed it.I've used Tim Holtz Kraft Resist paper on the inside edge of the frame.

The flowers are from the Open Vintage Floret set and  have been stamped onto card with Vintage Photo and Persimmon distress pads.  I then stamped them again onto acetate and clear embossed them. Each flower then had an acetate cover. The leaves are from the Delicate Asters set and have been stamped onto an old book page and inked with the vintage photo ink. 

Lol the pics are of my two eldest when they were little. I put a sepia tint on the pics using Photoshop.

Have a lovely long weekend.
