Precious Memory - instead of a card!

I made this for a work colleague who lost his daughter to cancer. Made using embossed paper with Love Forever all over it in different font sizes; lace; tags; Feathers and ribbon.
I made a rose from the lace using feathers as leaves and completed the whole photo frame in white due to the purity of the child who died.

Cut files

Hello all

I know in the past my cut files have been available to download for free although I asked for donations to support all the effort which has been put into creating them. A few did support this, not many!

More recently since February this year I requested people support me in my weight loss challenge as well as raise funds for my choosen charity to aid in the good work going into Autism and requested people who download consider a donation to this worthy cause. Unfortunately I have only received one donation from a very nice person who visited my blog, the other donation was from a work colleague after they viewed my before and after 14 weeks photo's on facebook.

Yet the amount of downloads of my files have now peaked in at 42,000 + and my charity fund is a joke!  I'm not asking people to break the bank, I feel a donation of around £5 roughly 7.28 US dollars to this worthy cause for the cut file to be sent to your email.

To those interested in my files, please donate to support Autism; Link in the right hand side column under my weight loss marker, once you have placed a donation email me your name and email addy and I will send you the cut file. I receive emails when a donation has been received hence why I ask for names.

I thank you all for visiting my blog and hope you will understand why I stopped the free downloads.

First Easter Card - A new Beginning!

Designed on the Gypsy/cricut E, this card is my first in many to come!! Used Easter 2010 and A child's year to design this card as well as zig zag stitch stamp, sewing machine, and Tim Holtz distress inks! I also cut and embossed the flowers, my sister enabled me to purchase 2 sets of flower punches (she really didn't have to try hard!!) I place flat backed pearls within the centres.

Spring card (first Gyspy Creation)

Designed and cut out using the gypsy/cricut E. Made for a colleague whose not well. Used From my garden and the Easter 2010 carts for the card, and used distressed inks to add shade to the daffodil. Distressed and doddled on the inside of the card and added ladybug stickers! Let me know what you think!

Using From my Kitchen and the Wedding Carts this card was designed. It was a friends 4 wedding I attended last weekend, and she didn't want any gifts but money. I decided to make her this card as you can't have a wedding without receiving a toaster!!! Its traditional!!

Again I designed this fellow using GBS due to server problems!!! But I think it will look ok cut from the same coloured card and have the edges inked to show the different areas clearly.

Pop up Flowers - thinking of you card

It has taken a couple of weeks to make this card work, my first couple of attempts failed, but this one made all my efforts worth the time! Yeah me!! Designed in CDS using GBS and PS, this file was quiet complicated to put together, so I'm sorry to those of you who may want this file but until I can sit down and write the instructions on how to put this together I wont be posting the file! Sorry!

Pop-up Birthday card

I designed this card for a work colleague/friend, the card is A4 in size. I replicated the pattern which is hand cut, hopefully I shall design one using the cricut (but no plans to presently).

3D Snowflake

Designed in Cricut Design Sudio using George n Basic Shapes and Joys of the Season carts. Folds flat into an envelope, once opened the snowflake moves into the 3D postion. I placed the sentiment area on the back of the card, so the snowflake is reflected in the mirror board card. I added small crystals to the snowflake and attached ribbon.

This card looks much better in person, as I have a lot of reflection from the mirror board card.

Assembly Instructions:

1. Cut out all the peices using your cricut in your choice of card, you will need both GBS and JOTS carts to make this project.
2. Add the frame to the outside of the card.
3. Decorate/ink your snowflakes, includes the snowflake in the card.
4. Make a small cut down the side of the small cut out section, on one flake only.
5. Slide the 2 seperate snowflakes together using the larger cut out sections.
6. Slide the joined snowflakes through the snowflake attached to the card, using the small cut previously made in one of the snowflakes, slide this up the middle of the snowflake to allow the bottom of the snowflake to pass through and then slide down into place.
7. Decorate with your choice of embellishments.
8. Enjoy!!

3D Snowman, in 3 tiers

Designed using the Cricut Design Studio and George n Basic Shapes cart.  I took the design from the last 3D snowman inspired by Karen Burniston, and enhanced upon it, as many snowmen have the three sections (head, chest and stomach) I wanted to see if I could do the same look; I made a broom from scraps, orange card cut several times to look like bristles, joined into the broom handle Brown card folded and fixed in place with ribbon, and adhered this to his chest next to his arm as this area is stronger. Added ribbon to the snowman to reflect a scarf and black flat pearls as pieces of coal for his facial features and buttons.

The card itself is matted and layered on the front and on the inside of the card, using both mirror card and patterned paper.  I inked around the white card and used swiss dots embossing folder to add texture. Then cheated and added premade sticky embellishments (Santa and HoHoHo).

To construct, I just had to add the chest peices before I add the stomach! to make him stand/fold correctly!
