Valentines Colour Combo Challenge

This is my entry for the Valentines Colour Combo Challenge, the challenge over on Valentine-crafts.com was to create a card using the colours Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White and Pretty in Pink.  Unfortunately I did not have those colours so I grabbed card stock that I felt was similar and headed off armed with card stock, some double sided papers from a paper pack from Stampin' Up and a stamp and this is what I came up with.




The matt colour of the card is my equivalent to Cherry Cobbler and the matt for the stamp is my version of Pretty in Pink.  Using the Cricut Elegant Edges cartridge I cut a scalloped oval, cut it in half and used it top and bottom, this paper was was double sided with the patterned pink on one side an the background paper on the other.  I then cut the centrepiece also using Elegant Edges and stamped the hedgehog from Penny Black's Wonderful Day stamp set and coloured with copies and finally embellishing with a ribbon and some pearls.  The inside also got a bit of a decorating too.



Hope you like it and feel free to leave a comment.  Thanks for looking x

Tatty Teddy Cards





Here are a set of cards that are 6 x 6"that I put together using the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge and Tatty Teddy toppers, they have different toppers and sentiments but the same bases.  I have these in a box just in case I have forgotten someone's birthday and need a card in a hurry.

Wishing You A Latte Luck


A dear friend of mine started a new job recently and this is the card I made for her, she is also a huge coffee lover and can always be found camping out in some corner of Costa Coffee or Starbucks so I thought this card was quite appropriate for her wishing her luck in her new job.

Good Bye Card

A friend of mine left work today for pastures newer, he's leaving the UK to become a dive instructor in Turkey, so last night I headed to my craft room and reached for my beloved Cricut and made a good luck card using Life's A Beach cartridge - and once I work out how, I'll upload the photo.  If there is no photo, it's because I haven't sussed that part out yet.......
