DAY WITH THE SILHOUETTES CAMEO

Hello all,

Today is the day I can really feel we have winter here in Pretoria. Sun is playing hide an seek above the clouds and the wind is chilly outside.

The Silhouettes Cameo sure is a learning curve to the Cricut Machine ... lol
Or is it that I am just aging and the brain is not taking things in quick enough to my liking :-)
So taking it one step at a time from a very sticky mat, frustrations and wow even cutting the top of the mat. Oh well at least did get 2 items cut, which I'm proud to show he he

The first card is a gatefold heart card, my first and had to add some gems and ribbon. On the card for inside, peel-off border was added to stand out.

My second card was also a nice cut out square card. I used blue card stock to practice, but then coloured it in with some markers and added once again some gems (sorry just love bling !)

FATHER'S DAY

Hello to all my peeps,

Thanks for visiting my blog, even though I have been so silent. Well at long last got some crafting time !!

This Fathersday card was a image I stamped years ago and just laying in my stash to be used. A friend had it specially made for her, so felt very honored to be able to use it. Thanks Lenore :-)

I nearly did colour the stamp in, but my 6th sense told me to make it a silhouette. To add some bling I used dots form the peel-offs I have.

I also made a Afrikaans card for a friend here in South Africa with just the silhouette. This rubber stamp is from my long time stash  

To brighten this card I used some Card Candi on the corners.

Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead.

ABC CRAFTS

a BIG HI to all my followers,

My apologies for not posting much the last month.
My chair though it had enough of me sliding over the floor from table to pc the last couple of years, and just collapsed in two. Well ended up all browsed and sore, but hey thanks to the Lord, up and about again. Now for all the catching up..... oh dear

This card was quickly done on glossy white cardstock. I used Momento markers direct on the rubber stamp and then stamped it on the glossy card. The best way to get a clear impression is to stand when stamping on glossy card.

Thank for popping around, enjoy your weekend

The monthly special is up on http://abccrafts.weebly.com/

FLOWER CARD

Card side is 14 x 14cm
This flower card was cut on the Cricut, after designing it on the Gypsy.
It has a round window in front. I cut it twice on Cutmates Roquefort
I wanted a layered flower look

As this is my first time making this card, I decided to make a shadow box.
Stars was some I had in my stash, and some red card candi just completed the look

This is the left inside and as you can see the layered look is stunning :-)
The shadow box was made between the 2 layers underneath the cup cake.
Cup cake was cut out on Cricut a while ago, and thought it is just right for a birthday!

The right inside of the card I used double side tape and some loose glitter powder.
The sentiment (a gift from a friend) was glued on top of the glitter with leaves.

JOURNAL - NEVER TO OLD

Angella, visited my blog sometime ago, thanks :-))

Today I was prompt by the Lord to go and visit her blog here Angella Dee Designs

As I was scrolling down, me eye caught some words on a  double journal page she made.

As I have been going through some trails lately and today being my birthday, these words just leapt from the page and spoke to me. Thanks Angella, you made my day, and thank the Lord for all blessing in my life, and bringing people on my path who enrich it.

VALENTINE CARD

Hello to all my followers,

Learning a new accounting program is never easy and when press for time, not a good combination at all. But as I have learnt, the Lord don't put things on our paths we can't handle, even if it goes at a snails pass he he he

So that is why crafting is so wonderful, as it unleashes not only creativity, but a natural stress reliever and listening to music helps even better.... yippy.

Have been making cards, but to me it feels to few.... mmm need more mojo :-))

Items used: A5 Ripple card stock,  polka dots embossing folder, Spellbinder die.
A heart cut from cricut, some hot fix gems and a few card candi.


And that is me wishing you a wonderful week with lots of blessing !!
                

Happy Birthday Card

Good evening

This is my first post since the start of the new year and I hope that all that reads this post have had a very nice New Year.  Since the beginning of December I have not had a lot of time to craft but my stash of spare cards have taken a big loss.  So because of that I need to replenish my stash very quickly.  So without further chatting here is my latest card that I made.

A close-up of the Happy Birthday stamp.

My first Happy Birthday card for  2013.

Thank you for reading my quick post, I will be back soon.

Hugs,
Marika
