Shoe Shopping

My Calendar panel

This years calender made by four of us 

I got the topic of AUTUMN and the number 0  out of 2012

Here is what i did for mine

I used an action wobble on the orange leaf

i used cuttlebug die/embossing set for the big leaf 

and punch for the litte ones

Come back tomorrow to see the complete calender

21st BD ( sizzix Floating frame die)

I just got the sizzix floating frame punch

and I got to play with it the other day 

and this is the card i made 

The cover of the card is embossed but you can not 

see it on the picture

Used the cricut to cut the words and boarder  for the 

center of the card

Oh the cricut to cut the keys as well

Going to get Married?

While surfing the internet I came across 

a wonderful card by A Mermaid's Craft  and 

it inspired me straight away. I knew what theme 

I wanted to make it . 

Here is the Theme I picked and my take on 

this wonderful card

"Wedding"

I used a few cricut cartridges 

Tie the knot, Forever young and 

Disney princess

Also used the cuttlebug embossing to 

add shape to the dresses

Showed my friend Tracey the card and 

this is her take on it  HERE

Thank you both for inspired me to make this card

 

Robot on my tin too Aluminum Tape is addictive

After making the robot card and seeing how that turned out.
I knew it would be just perfect for one of the tin cases like i covered
last week as i still had a few left undecorated .
Here is the result

managed to find a place
locally that sold it on line (Tapes on line)

Just another "Robot" in the wall

One of the reasons I liked this technique when i seen it
on the video HERE. Is that it would look good with
gears and robots behind the tape.
What I did was cut out two robots from the robotz cartridge
and glued them on top of each other and then used
my collection of gear dies (spellbinder and tim holtz)
to cut out heaps of gears .
This one made a great card front.

locally that sold it on line (Tapes on line)

Hot Air Balloon (ecraft cut and cuttlebug embossed)

Over the years I have made many 3D
hot air balloons (cutting all pieces by hand)
The next test for scal and ecraft machine was to
cut the balloon parts out for me .
This sure did make making these balloons a whole
lot easier. So before making up the balloon i ran all
the parts through the cuttlebug embossing folders.
Used the cricut paper dolls and gypsy to cut the people
for the basket.
It stands 8 1/2" tall.

Made the pattern up in inkscape and cut using scal
and ecraft machine.

Be sure to tell me what you think.
