Card with a Bird

This is a card i made a few days ago. I cut the bird out with my Cameo. I just love the colors!

Close up of the bird

I added some strips of the same paper on the back as well


Card stacks

I ordered some card stacks the other day as I found a great offer online. I just thought I'd post a picture as I hadn't realized how much I really had ordered and so I got a little shock opening the box! hehe!

Help! So much paper!

There were 4 different card stacks
I can't wait till I have time to make some cards with all this!!

Bookmark

A couple of days ago I decided to make a bookmark for a friend of mine who likes to read :)
The girl is a digi stamp from Saturated Canary and the sentiment was a free digi from when the scrap hits the fun. Everything was cut out with my Cameo.

Bird House!

I found this little bird house in the silhouette studio and thought it looked really cute, so I just had to make one! Decorated it with a butterfly and some flowers. Perfect for easter and spring!
(Its difficult to tell the size from these pictures, but it is about 5 cm high)








30th Birthday Card

Today I made a birthday card for a friend of mine who is turning 30 this month. I decided to do a lot of layers on this card, and I'm very happy with the result!

Kleenex box cover - Easter

I made another kleenex box cover, this one I decorated for Easter! It can be lifted up and put on a new tissue box when this one is empty!
I used the Cameo to cut out the pieces for the box itself. Decorated with lace around the sides. The 4 easter eggs on the front I stamped, coloured and cut out. The other images I got from a card making magazine.

This is the front of the box

This is the top of the box.




The 4 eggs are stamped images that I coloured and cut out

Kleenex Box cover

The other day I found a picture of a Kleenex Box Cover and thought I'd have a try. These are great as gifts, especially as a 'feel better soon' gift for people with colds or the flu! The cover can be lifted up and used again when the tissue box is empty.
This was my first attempt to make one, still needs a little adjustment to get the measurements perfect, but I'm happy with the result.
For the box itself I used the Cameo to cut out the pieces. Decorated with a black ribbon and some bling :)
