White and gold + updated Cricut snowflake card

Good morning Bloggers, I hope you are all well or getting there :o)

It looks very grey and windy out there this morning but at least it isn't raining.  It was a beautiful sunny day yesterday!

Any way, onto my card for today and an updated card.

 I decided something had to be done with the sparkly Cricut card (see yesterday's post) as it was lacking, so I added a blue panel behind the snowflake cutout edge and I do believe it lifts it considerably :o)

And now for today's card. While I was in CJs craft shop in Edgely, Stockport, a few weeks ago I spotted a gorgeous white and gold card using this Marianne cut and emboss folder and had to make one myself. My layout and flower are not the same as the one in the shop, it was the white and gold that I wanted to recreate and I am quite pleased with the result. The flower is from an SVG file by Penny Duncan and I cut it on the Cricut, the largest layer being 2.5 inches across. All card used is pearlised white and mirri and I must say that I do like the effect :o)

Cricut card

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are all well. The day here started off very wet but the we now have wall to wall sunshine :o)

I have been playing with the Cricut again and here is part of the result.

The card is from an SVG file  from the svgBlog. I haven't done anything with the inside yet. I cut the card on the Cricut using white glittercard,  and added the McGill and Woodware punched snowflakes and that's all there is to it :o)

A very simple card.....

.....with freebie paper!

Good morning Bloggers, I hope you are all well or getting there.

This card was soooooooooooo simple to make because all I used was a free paper from the lovely

Jak Heath  and snowflake punches from McGill and Woodware, and an unkown origin sentiment stamp :o)

I will probably add a smidgin of Glamour dust later to lift it a bit

I am off to work this afternoon but I hope you all have a great weekend :o)

More variations on a theme

Good morning Bloggers. I haven't opened the curtains yet so don't know what it's like out there! I hope all is well with everyone, and if not then I hope it soon will be.

For my cards today I have used a photograph of a teazel that I took in my daughter's garden a few years ago.

All very simple cards. All are cut with Nesties and Xcut Nesties and matted onto either mirri or pearlised card. Border on the last one punched with Martha Stewart punch, a couple of ribbon and cord scraps from stash and Bob's yer Uncle, job done. Oooooooooooooooooops! Nearly forgot the greetings. Merry Christmas is from a Woodware word set and season's greetings is from a Peachy Keen set, I think :o)

Not too sure about this one.....

.....it's a bit loud for me!

Good morning everyone. It's been raining overnight but we have some pale blue sky so far this morning, fingers crossed it stays that way.

Right, onto my card which is a bit OTT for me LOL

I designed the doily in SCAL and cut it with the Cricut, then cut the middle out with a Nestie and replaced it with a Nestie cut sentiment from Papermania. Poinsettias are Marianne Designs diecuts and Nellie Snellen punched. Background is mirri card embossed with Cuttlebug folder. I can't remember what I cut the holly leaves with, I found them languishing in a box of bits :o)

Just s few photographs.....

.....yes, I took my cameras for a walk at St Chad's Water again yesterday afternoon. It is such a peaceful and tranquil place to spend an hour or so.

Before I show them to you, I seem to have acquired 2 new followers but haven't a clue who they are as there are no avatars. Whoever you are I would like to say hello and welcome, and maybe you can let me know who you are :o)

These are just a few of the 54 pics I took, I hope that you like them  :o)

Very simple card + I just had to share a comment with you

 Good morning everyone. It's a bit of a nondescript start to the day outside, not cold, not warm, pale grey sky and not a bird in sight!

I just had to share this comment on my blog with you, isn't it so beautiful, I was very touched by it. It is from a Spanish gentleman and I had to ask a friend who lives in Spain to translate it for me.

 "It is a pleasure to walk through your work that is of an exquisite richness.
I leave all my affection a salutation"

What a beautiful use of words.

Anyhow, on to my card which couldn't be much more simple :o)

I think this is ideal if you need to make a lot of cards in a little time!

Another new embossing folder, embossed straight onto an pale lemon A6 pearlised card then added the Cricut cut bauble, snowflake cut with McGill punch, tiny one at the bottom is the centre from a Marianne poinsettia die set and covers a smudge! No name on sentiment stamp because I can't remember which set it's from :o)

Scrapbook pages and a welcome

Good morning everyone. So far it looks like a nice calm morning out there.

I would like to start the day by welcoming a new follower, hello Christine, thank you for joining me :o)

And now onto my 12x12 DLO. I decided it was time I got my scrapbooking head on as I have not done any since about January!

Of course I had wanted to load them left first then right so they are in sequence but Blogger decided otherwise! Never mind, I am sure that you can work out 

which is which :o)

The backing paper was from stash and has no name on.

All brown and orange card is Bazzil, gold mirri also used. Titles created in Scal using Balloon font and cut on Cricut. Round mats were cut with Nesties and Go create. Swirl is from Sizzix long die and the bottom border is the negative from same  :o)

Sunflower card

Good morning everyone. The sun has come out to play and we've got wall to wall blue skies. Cold but beautiful which is, for me, a perfect day. What a shame I have to spoil it by going to work this afternoon!
Any how, onto my card. Isn't it amazing what yo find when you are looking for something else. I printed and cut out these sunflowers from Corel Draw 7 many moons ago, probably more than two years, and then 'lost' them. They came to light the other day, as did the previously brayered background, when I was looking for some not related so I thought HeyHo, I'll make a card then :o)

I printed the sunflowers on photo card. The sentiment stamp has no name on it.

Base card is white linen card :o)

Clock card + a welcome

Good morning everyone, I hope you have survived the storms intact!

I would like to welcome new follower Alison this morning, Hi Alison, I will be round to checkout your blog later :o)

My card this morning is another fairly simple flat card for posting.

 

I cut and folded plain white card to 6x6 then covered it with paper from stash, sorry I can't remeber whether it is HOTP or Kay&Co. I cut the clock and cogs with the Cricut from copper pearlised card and the sentiment stamp has no name on it! It is truly a card created from old stash :o)
