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 :)

Thank you!

Today I decided to make a little card for a friend of mines mum, as she has given me quite a few little ribbons for me to use for my cardmaking. I though Id make this card to say thank you!

Front of the card

I made sure to make some of the ribbons she gave me!

I used embossing powder with the stamp, its black with glitter

60th Birthday

I got asked to make a card for someones 60th birthday and this was the result. Thought Id try to decorate the inside of the card as well, as I think this looks really pretty.

The flowers and the 60 are raised up on 3D stickers

Left some room for writing a sentiment

Mothers Day

This is a card I made for mothers day, it was my first attempt at a Swing Card. I was fairly happy with it, though I found it a bit too pink (Im not too fond of pink..)

This is what the front looked like

And this is what it looked like after it was swung open

Cover for the Cameo!

I have a friend who is really good at sowing stuff, so I asked her if she could make me a cover for the Silhouette Cameo so that it wont get covered in dust when its not in use. I sent her the measurements and she made it for me! And I loooove it! Visit Martes Blog if you want to see more of her creations!

The picture really doesnt do it justice, the colours are better in real life :)

New Header!

Finally got around to making a proper heading to the blog!
For the background image I used a photo of one of my cards, and I love the result! Sooooo much better than the old one with just text!!

Birthday Card

I decided to make a card using one of my papers that I've had for a while, but had never figured out what to do with. Here is the final result:

And this is what it looks like standing up

Close up of the cake, which was a pre made 3D sticker. I used glitter glue on the candles and liquid pearl on the cake to make it look even better!

This is a card I made today. Everything was cut using my Cameo. Added a ribbon, some distress ink and some glitter glue to get the finished project.

Finished card (sorry about the shadow of my finger in the corner, hehe!)

I bent the flower up to get a 3D effect

New cardmaking stuff!

The cardmaking stuff I ordered on Sunday arrived yesterday, I could not believe how quick it got here! And here it is:

I got 4 more dragon stamps, 3 liquid pearls, some ribbons and silicone adhesive for 3D decoupage.

I've actually got a day off today, so I'm off to try out the new equipment and hopefully make some cards!
