Cute Card Thursday

Today's project is for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge and the theme is......

Vintage

So here's my project, a Vintage Mad Hatter's Hat. It is 9 inches tall and 11 inches wide.

I have used a SVG Attic kit called Mad Tea Party kit. I've used the files that make the hat base, the price tag and the rolled flowers for this one. All cut on my Silhouette Cameo.

The black card is from Papermill Direct and I have embossed it and then used pewter gilding wax to bring the embossing out. I cut out the price using Papermill kraft card.

For the stamped images which are from Artistic Outpost I used Papermill luxury artist pad which is like a watercolour card. I stamped them with TH vintage photo distress ink and then used a water pen to drag the colour. 

For the embellishments I cut the rolled flower file and used the same distress ink to colour the edges of the flowers. The lace has also been coloured with the ink. The hat pins were originally pink or white but I covered them in embossing ink and then embossed them with distress gold embossing powder. A little sprinkle of frantage fragments on the brim and it's finished.

Our sponsor this week is Sunflower Field.

Im also entering this project into a couple of challenges

Snapdragon Snippets & Papermill Direct

Just back from a lovely day at Crammond Beach just outside Edinburgh. Gorgeous sunny day too! We actually had something that I haven't seen for a very long time too. Do you remember Oysters from the ice cream van? Yummy!

Well I think my project that I'm showing is just right for today, it's a flip flop 3D box from Snapdragon Snippets.  I cut the file on my Cameo. It's really easy to put together and looks fab when finished.

I've used some lovely summer colours from Papermill Direct for the card. The card is Ocean Blue and Lime Green. This colour card is ideal for all your summer projects.

So here is my flip flop

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.
