Lacey Valentine's Card

Hi today it's my turn to post on the Snapdragon Snippets blog and I have chose a gorgeous file called A2 Lacey Heart Card.  It is available in the Snapdragon Snippets store here or you can find it in the Silhouette store here.

I have used Papermill black and lilac card for my design. I've also used Wow embossing glitter powders to bling it up!

My First Papermill DT Post - A Mother's Day Card

Hiya , here is my first Papermill DT post. It's a Mother's Day card and you can find a tutorial on the Papermill blog here.

All the card on my project is from A4 card from Papermill Direct.

I've used:

New Lilac Smooth card                                   
White hammered card                                
Pink Sorbet Smooth card   

The flowers have been made with 2 Tonic Punches and a Martha Stewart leaf punch.

The border is also a Martha Stewart border punch.
 The "MUM" has been cut with my Cameo.

The full tutorial is on the Papermill blog.

Each week a different DT member will be posting on the blog, probably a great tutorial. But in between these the DT will be showing you their lovely projects made using the fab card from Papermill Direct. I can't stress enough how well it cuts with the Silhouette Cameo. I've tried lots of different cards but the Papermill card really is my first choice.

Cya soon

Homework

Robbyn is doing the Egyptians for a class project this term and her homework was to make an Egyptian game. We found one called Segou which is like our 0's and x's. So we made this.

I used card for the board and distressed it with a sanding block and then stamped on it with a crackle stamp using Walnut distress ink. The counters and images are all cut out with my Cammie. It took ages!!! I had to use white vinyl for the mummies as they were so intricate, they took a lot of weeding. The woman had to be cut out piece by piece too in different colours. I used Papermill card. Some of the pieces were tiny!! I then inked the edges and lightly went over them with the walnut ink.

Let's hope her teacher appreciates it!!

Valentine's box for Cute Card Thursday

Doh I was supposed to show this for my DT project for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge but got over excited and posted it early.

The theme at Cute Card Thursday is

 

 Love Struck

The prize this week is a £10 gift voucher from Bunny Zoe's Crafts.

Today I have a little Valentine's box to show you. I think I will give one to each of my younger kids with a little message inside.

 

 

You could add chocolates, messages, jewellery etc.

 

I've used Papermill cardstock, this really does cut beautifully on the Cameo and I've never had any trouble with it. The box file is in the Silhouette store by Lori Whitlock. The sentiment is cut from Vinyl and is also in the store and the designer is Kolette Hall. I put  the waste hearts from the box inside with a little tissue paper. I've also inked around the edges with distress ink.
