It is a closed group so you'll have to send a request to join, but it is a great site for troubleshooting (especially if you have an Explore) and showcases some fab cards and other Cricut generated crafts. I tend to post more on the FB site so if you want to see more of my cards I will be there! I will occasionally post here too.<div>Heather xxx</div>jiminy japeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03738772564998481201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180872497022552806.post-78035878667063881802015-11-16T20:17:00.001+00:002015-11-16T20:17:45.493+00:00Liliana....I was asked to make retirement card for a colleague of my hubby.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_rnvj08pg-PzPa_KQkvfpN-XSiSz6d9N1eRgmcw98EVWROBNLDjmvcWlhseKgTRASTSlXY1q-2LFCV6SvIGHo3D-x1vkZm8sf7h5u7MsMwAn8ZE9QxaU2K8_4hXxXxBYj3muTu98xe_s/s640/blogger-image--717378141.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_rnvj08pg-PzPa_KQkvfpN-XSiSz6d9N1eRgmcw98EVWROBNLDjmvcWlhseKgTRASTSlXY1q-2LFCV6SvIGHo3D-x1vkZm8sf7h5u7MsMwAn8ZE9QxaU2K8_4hXxXxBYj3muTu98xe_s/s640/blogger-image--717378141.jpg"></a>The brief was ski-ing/sailing</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">so I went with ski-ing as I have made a similar card in the past.

I have five cards to make this month. Here are the first three...and there is not a bit of Cricut generated stuff on any of them! I needed to make three cards on the same day, so I used one design and changed the centre panel on each card to suit the occasion. The first card was for our niece Tara for her birthday, the second for my brother Nick and SIL Lisa for their anniversary, and the final card for our friends' daughter Rhea for her birthday. The card bases are 7" square and the central panel images are from Papermania's Art Deco, and Time to Party collections.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Thanks for looking!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Heather xxx</div>jiminy japeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03738772564998481201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180872497022552806.post-16744026654553444902015-08-26T20:25:00.001+01:002015-08-26T20:25:47.858+01:00Anniversary Wishes.......My nephew Dan and his wife Sarah (she of the previous post!) celebrated their third wedding anniversary on 18th August. I saw a card on Pinterest that I liked and made this card using the heart element. The card is 8" square, papers are from The Promise by First Edition. The hearts were punched from various papers from the pad, and adhered with foam pads over silver thread wrapped around an embossed central square panel. I added gems to the spaces between the hearts.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCfaqMzQZp_J80nY9KDRqFG34b72It8DV8WpqdLWtwtKru-qen1rUrXTntKq6NaTCZ5Ys8r08EUG-mfYPWk1b4ytowiyayslEumR8UwULyJtXSplrcWtF6fuxvwkYANjka1Qx5BRFkmTg/s640/blogger-image-1974154688.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCfaqMzQZp_J80nY9KDRqFG34b72It8DV8WpqdLWtwtKru-qen1rUrXTntKq6NaTCZ5Ys8r08EUG-mfYPWk1b4ytowiyayslEumR8UwULyJtXSplrcWtF6fuxvwkYANjka1Qx5BRFkmTg/s640/blogger-image-1974154688.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The corners were die-cut from pearlised cardstock, and the Happy Anniversary was die-cut from glittercard.

Only this was made with Fablon, much cheaper than Cricut vinyl. I bought a pack of four canvases from The Range for £5. I then painted the canvas with white acrylic paint to 'key' the surface. I then added tan paint with a make-up sponge around the edges for a distressed look.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoOqIWaZmr8MD-TwDjSTB4GpMA48Yeb3SDIx38Zt5Vp4l5A_E-AnF-MQjbrL-boINOJaHdkGgZwZ1hG1oyQSgOHaTooyUv51ZDTIAzxP49fOr1VZ1gh2vYCoHWr9F1gQvaWWS_TDCg0xA/s640/blogger-image-50192886.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoOqIWaZmr8MD-TwDjSTB4GpMA48Yeb3SDIx38Zt5Vp4l5A_E-AnF-MQjbrL-boINOJaHdkGgZwZ1hG1oyQSgOHaTooyUv51ZDTIAzxP49fOr1VZ1gh2vYCoHWr9F1gQvaWWS_TDCg0xA/s640/blogger-image-50192886.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I then cut out the phrase from black Fablon. I had the blade depth on 2 and the pressure on low ( 3 bars). After weeding out the excess vinyl, I used transfer tape to lift the words from the backing paper and transferred it to the prepared canvas. I used a soft cloth to press the vinyl onto the canvas.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Cart used:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Loved you....

The client wanted a card for his Mum's 60th birthday featuring a baby blue Volkswagen camper van. I knew that there were no VW's on any cartridge so I Googled an image and used it to cut the van from two shades of blue card stock, trimmed with silver Mirri. The card base is A4 and I used some pretty funky paper from an old DCWV stack. The letters and numbers were cut from contrasting paper, shadowed with blue card stock. I embossed a piece of green card stock and adhered all the elements with foam pads onto it. 'Happy Birthday' is an XCut die.<div>Cart used:</div><div>Mum & 60 - Plantin Schoolbook</div><div>Thanks for looking</div><div>Heatherxxx<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYAwzRaFDaVT7RZ6QwzCRVhGEfEayT_yDY3-BgovU5es_UIaFaRgBukZYUSTTjVxJTVJh7Oym6jtTN2P5MV2H3FuZzTkz6fcEdLSsGDaHjr-er_432HUUmFScmNgI5h13whBUZKbXBKaE/s640/blogger-image-1730897581.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYAwzRaFDaVT7RZ6QwzCRVhGEfEayT_yDY3-BgovU5es_UIaFaRgBukZYUSTTjVxJTVJh7Oym6jtTN2P5MV2H3FuZzTkz6fcEdLSsGDaHjr-er_432HUUmFScmNgI5h13whBUZKbXBKaE/s640/blogger-image-1730897581.jpg"></a></div></div>jiminy japeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03738772564998481201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180872497022552806.post-49789958427623462702014-11-28T20:02:00.001+00:002014-11-28T20:06:41.109+00:00Menai and Krishan........<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Rhea's big sister Menai married her lovely fiancé Krishan back in September, and I wanted to make a real keepsake card for them, so I created a book! The all-white palette makes it difficult to photo so please excuse the less than perfect photos! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created the book with loads of white textured pearlised cardstock and paper and numerous die-cuts and Cricut generated frames. I won't go into too much detail as the pages speak for themselves, but I chose a 'Love quotes from literature' theme, searching the Internet for suitable quotes and came up with some truly lovely quotes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My brother and SIL celebrated their 13th Anniversary at the beginning of last month, and this is the card that I made for them. I used the Papermania Art Deco 'Roaring Twenties' toppers and foiled papers. The card base is an 8" square, layered up with black, silver and aqua papers. I embossed an Art Deco frame with an embossing folder, cutting out the centre to create an aperture. I adhered the dancing couple topper behind it with foam tape. I decorated the frame with gems from the same collection, a black marabou feather and greeny, silver bow. NICK & LISA and the number 13 were cut from black mirri card and silver glitter card, then adhered to the card with foam pads.</div>

My boss lost her beloved mum recently and I wanted to pass on my condolences with a card. I used a white and silver colour palette to create this simple but hopefully tasteful card. The card size s A5 and I used textured white card on a silver Mirri mat. I added a window cut from silver Mirri and backed with vellum. I cut a cross from two different silver card stock and adhered it to the window along with a trio of calla lilies, punched greenery and white satin ribbon bow. The sentiment was stamped in silver ink onto a die-cut label and adhered with foam pads below the window. I finished the card with an ivy die-cut in each corner.<div>Carts used:</div><div>Window- Ornamental Iron</div><div>Cross- Wedding Solutions</div><div>Thanks for dropping by!</div><div>Heatherxx<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit1vFlnxtU5tEHF9cmDTa7Ucw6QYXQc6dayHrMo0mi3y-43HR0pxZqwrNjwUbkiciJ_EEJkHRYq1bOT9NHzRNx2KY9WTJqDTzDOwzYolA87ZYLt0Bi7HKuDtp86QBxy1RHh4Zi3ZXv7Gs/s640/blogger-image-2009475798.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit1vFlnxtU5tEHF9cmDTa7Ucw6QYXQc6dayHrMo0mi3y-43HR0pxZqwrNjwUbkiciJ_EEJkHRYq1bOT9NHzRNx2KY9WTJqDTzDOwzYolA87ZYLt0Bi7HKuDtp86QBxy1RHh4Zi3ZXv7Gs/s640/blogger-image-2009475798.jpg"></a></div></div>jiminy japeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03738772564998481201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180872497022552806.post-33814413904602319562014-10-03T19:19:00.002+01:002014-10-03T19:19:37.364+01:00Jon & Kitty<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My boss' son Jonathan married his sweetheart Kitty back in August. They had a very striking colour scheme of blue & yellow, so I made them an equally striking (IMHO!) card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card is 8" square and I used gold card and blue and white pearlised card for matting, the punched edges and for the filigree heart in the centre of the card. The white panel was embossed and a pearl added to the cross-over points in the design. The heart was cut from blue card then adhered to a scalloped heart. A separate heart was cut for the centre and embossed before adhering. I added gold ribbon, a yellow rose and a pair of wedding rings. The heart was finished with gold pearls.'JON' & 'KITTY' was cut from blue card with gold shadow and adhered with foam pads. </div>

As promised (albeit a tad later than promised!) here is the card that I took up to Edinburgh for Richa & Callum's wedding back in July</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The car is an 8x8 fold back square card. I used Pink Petticoat downloads for the backing papers, printed in Goldenrod onto pearlised paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The front of the card holds a square panel, embossed with a Sheena Douglass Indian embossing folder. I added sheer ribbon and a decorative heart cut from white pearlised card shadowed with cream pearlised card. 'Richa' & 'Callum' was cut from champagne coloured glittercard and adhered flat. The front of the card was finished with die cut flourishes and leaves and a couple of sheer flowers. A smattering of pearls and a pearl heart completes the front of the card.....</div>

in July. We flew up there, and had a great weekend in the Scottish capital.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made this card for our friends Mary & Imroz to give to the newly-weds (I'll show you the card from me next time). The papers were a download printed onto pearlised paper which was matted onto silver mirri, then adhered to an 8" square card. I added a strip with punched edges, horizontally across the centre, then added another strip, embossed and matted onto silver mirri. 'Richa & Callum' was cut from textured silver card, then adhered flat to the embossed strip. I added a lace strip and bow, die-cut leaves and flourishes and a silk bloom to the left hand side of the card. A smattering of pearls completes the card.</div>

This is a card that I made for my delightful great-niece Chelsea, for her 9th birthday last month. Chelsea takes Karate lessons from her Granddad who is a Sensei at his karate club. She has just earned her orange belt so I thought that I'd pop this cute karate-kid on her card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card base is a scalloped 8" square. The papers are freebie Nit-Wits and the Happy Birthday sentiment was cut from a free die (gotta love freebies!) 'Chelsea' & '9' were cut from the same pink glittercard as the sentiment. I finished the card off with a felt flower- yet another freebie. Blimey! this was an expensive card to make-not!</div>

Krishnan's girlfriend Sofia asked me to make a couple of cards for her cousin's little girl Lottie Rose who was one a couple of months ago. Apparently she loves Peppa Pig. Hold the phone! Where was I going to find Peppa Pig on a cartridge? Nowhere! So I went to my trusty go-to when in crafty trouble, Google Images, and downloaded a line drawing of Peppa, which I used to hand-cut a passable version for Lottie's card. I adhered her to a scalloped square, and gave her a speech bubble with a computer generated sentiment. I added some punched flowers to the grass and a (securely fastened!) fabric rose to the speech bubble. A smattering of pink gems completes the card........</div>

<div align="center">
I have been making an awful lot of wedding cards just lately, either for commissions or personal use.</div>
<div align="center">
I made this one, for no particular reason other than that I liked the image. I think that it would be suitable for either a church wedding, registry office or civil ceremony in a grand house!</div>
<div align="center">
I used an 8" scalloped card base and added an embossed and matted panel to the front of the card. Before adhering it to the card I wrapped pink satin ribbon threaded through a gemstone buckle around the bottom of the panel.</div>

The funky couple were cut from plain white card coloured with a Blush Promarker for the skin, then the layers (dress and tux) were cut from white and black pearlised cardstock. The bride's dress was embossed, and I added teeny sequin flowers to her headband. I also gave her a pearl necklace and bracelet. The bouquet was enhanced with punched flowers, created with a Martha Stewart Hydrangea punch. The couple were adhered to the card with foam pads.</div>
<div align="center">
'Gettin' Hitched' was cut from black pearlised cardstock and adhered flat. A smattering of pearls completes the card.</div>

My niece Lauren was 18 last month and she had a Hawaiian themed party, so I thought that this pineapple cocktail would be ideal for her card. I added detail to the pineapple with Promarkers along with lots of glitter. The backing paper was a freebie from Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine from last year. I topped the paper with a panel of white cardstock embossed with a swiss dots folder. I added the sentiment cut from glittercard and to finish a very pretty bloom with a gem in the centre. All of the elements were adhered with foam pads. A smattering of gems completes the card.</div>

No.1 son Krishnan asked me to make a card for him & Sofia to give Lauren, and I decided to use a key (to the door) on this one. I know that you usually give the key to the door at 21 but I've seen plenty of '18' keys in High Street card shops, so why not?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Hunky Dory cardstock which was a freebie for the background and added a key cut from silver mirri and 'Lauren' & '18' cut from lilac glittercard shadowed with silver mirri. I added a sheer bow and blooms to the top of the key, along with a stamped sentiment. A smattering of gems completes the card.</div>

Hello all! Hope you are enjoying the blistering (yes, truly!) heatwave here. Would you believe that I've had my central heating on today? WHAAAT?!!!!!! Yes, really! My boiler went on the fritz on Saturday so it's been replaced today and they had to test that the radiators were working. It's amazing how much we take hot water on tap for granted until we don't have it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyhoo, back to today's card. I made this card for Mary & Imroz to give to Rhea & Phil's friends Emily & Reza who got married a couple of weeks after Hari & Suzanne.I won't go into details about each pic as the card is made in exactly the same way as in the previous post. I used an ivy die to decorate the corners on the front of the card....</div>

When we went to Seattle a couple of years ago, we stayed with some very good friends whom my hubby has known since Medical School days. Their son Hari got married to his fiancée Suzanne last month, and sadly as we were not able to attend as hubby was in India, our friends Mary & Imroz took it out for us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The card base is an 8" square gatefold made with two 8" square cards adhered together. I embossed snow white Centura Pearl cardstock, matted it onto blue pearlised card and adhered it flat to the front of the card. I cut a shaped panel from patterned paper (downloaded from Pink Petticoat, and printed onto pearlised paper) and adhered to a blue shadow. The panel was then adhered to the front of the card on one side only. A filigree heart was cut from Centura Pearl with a blue blackout. It was adhered to the shaped panel with foam pads. The bride and groom initials, and some die-cut flourishes adorn the front of the card, along with a blue rose and sheer bow.... </div>

It was my nephew Dan's wife Sarah's birthday last month. I had some Hunky Dory freebies that were particularly pretty and decided to use one of the papers and toppers for Sarah's card. I used an 8" square scalloped card for the base, then added the patterned cardstock,wrapped with pink velvet ribbon and matted onto gold mirri card, to the centre of the card front. I cut the gold border from the typewriter (remember those?!) image- because it was a different gold to the mirri- then mounted it onto gold mirri and adhered it to the left of the card front with foam pads. I added a sentiment from the freebie collection, along with 'SARAH' cut from pink glittercard shadowed with gold, using foam pads. A trio of pink pearls completes the card.</div>

I made this card earlier this year for one of Hubby's secretaries for her daughter's 13th birthday, and what better cartridge to use than Paper Doll Teen Scene?</div>

The card base is A4 in size and the papers from my stash - don't know who made them!- met the colour brief perfectly. I cut the doll from white cardstock, then coloured her with a blush ProMarker, as I find it difficult to find decent flesh-toned cardstock. I then gave her a patterned paper dress and sparkly shoes. I added a necklace, earrings and bracelet using gems. A hand cut glittery parcel was adhered to her hand. The completed figure was adhered to a central embossed panel with foam pads.</div>

The sentiment and name were were cut from glittercard and adhered flat to the card. A smattering of bling completes the card.</div>
