Time For Tea Designs January Challenge

I couldn't resist making another card for the Time For Tea Designs Challenge. This time I've used "Fall Love".

I've coloured the image with Copics and used my Scan & Cut to make a border around the image. The background of hearts is a file by Lori Whitlock cut on my Silhouette Cameo.

Battery Tea Light Holders

Here are some really simple but pretty battery tea light holders that I just made.

The tumblers are from Wilko and are plastic and only cost £1. The cover is a Silhouette store file by Nic Squirrel and of course the stamp is a Gorjuss stamp called "I love you little rabbit". I've coloured the skin and hair and paperpieced the rest. I've used some battery operated tea lights to put inside.

SVG Attic - Above It All

Today I get to show you one of my favourite 3D projects for my blog  post on the SVG Attic blog.

I had great fun making it and although it looks daunting it really isn't as there is a great tutorial on Jodie's Needles 'n' Knowledge blog. Jodie's written and photo instructions are very clear and precise.

So here it is

This hot air balloon is a gift box and is part of a kit called Above It All.

I have used Papermill pale turquoise card and the papers are My Minds Eye - Lucky in Love.

I love how it turned out and at the moment it has it's place on my mantlepiece.

SVG Attic have some stunning kits and it's well worth having a look at the store and their Facebook page. I cut this file using my Cameo Silhouette but lots of the newer files also have the Cricut Explore cutting files to use too.
