More cards using Modifying Folder Pad (MFP)

These are cards that were made using my MFP technique. Over in Ikki's Cuttlebug Cupboard you will find a tutorial on how this was done.

Partial embossing Cuttlebug with my modifying folder pad

Hi, I thought I would share with you my new way of partial embossing

I have used the Stylized Flower folder and made a modifying folder pad (MFP) which gives a whole new look to the original pattern.

If you would like to know just how I achieved this, pop over to ikki's Cuttlebug Cupboard where you will find a tutorial on using this method of embossing.

Cuttlebug challenge 19#

This week's challenge (only just made it!) was to emboss

on acetate.

CB Folders: Happy Birthday for the acetate and Stylized flowers

Nesties labels for the frame.

Pink Elephant's First Challenge

Great new challenge from Pink Elephant. This weeks remit was to use the colours of Pink, White and Black. I tried something different by way of layout - you know how you have a picture in your head - and it doesn't seem to work out on paper - well this happened with this card.

Paper: A hint of pink
Nesties
Ribbon and bits from
stash







Have a great weekend.

Cuttlbug Challenge 18#

A shaped card!?!!?! Yes, well, !?!? Then I found template for this ....... and so my Flapper Hat.

My cuttlebug flower interested so many last week, that I will post a tutorial follow up on Sunday here in my Cuttlebug Cupboard.

CB: Textile and Paisley Folders

Nestie circles

Does this card interest you?

Hi, if you own a CB (or perhaps one is on your list!) then you may be interested to know how I made this card and the way I have used the cuttlebug folders and Nesties dies. Over here in Ikki's Cuttlebug Cupboard
I have done a tutorial on how it was achieved.


This technique makes folders far more versatile,
and Cuttlebug fans like this!!!
Your comments on the tutorial would be of great interest to me for future illustrations. The learning curve is steep, but I want to make the top!!!

Enjoy your day,

Cuttlebug Love Card for Challenge

Hi, the snow has arrived and enabled me to craft, Brill! This is
my card that I'm submitting to 2 challenges this week.
Cuttlebug Weekly Challenge and a new challenge for me at
Cuttlebug Spot were both asking for a LOVE theme.

Unfortunately, because of the glimmer cardstock and acetate
window, the card was difficult to photo!!!

Charcoal Glimmer cardstock - 6 x 6 Card
Used Scoreboard for lines
Nesties for 3 mats: 1 was embossed with Divine Swirls
1 Acetate
1 Frame
Stamp: Hero Arts - Muse Heart
stamped lst on white card in Red ink then in black ink on the acetate
Embellishments from stash

Thanks for dropping by - keeeeep warm and "Love to all"

Cuttlebug Challenge #16

A "distressed card" was the remit this week. Not something I do!

BUT, nothing ventured - nothing gained, SO ........here is my take.

The flower I made using handmade paper which I cut with nesties

and embossed with the textile pattern. The centre panel is embossed on core c/s, embossed with Frills border and distressed line folder

then sanded.

Cuttlebug folders: Textile, Distressed lines,Frills flowerborder, Nestie scallop and circle.

Thanks for stopping by, your comments are

always welcome.

Basic Grey Challenge

Another great challenge sketch - this one took some
thinking (and messing around with) for me. My head seems
empty apart from my cold, but crossing my fingers wishing my
cold away probably didn't help! Anyway.... here it is....

Papers: Basic Grey - Sultry
Stamp: Hobby Art and rose from See D's
Cuttlebug border and Nesties Small label
Fiskars Circle punch - Victorian

Thanks for stopping by, hope you don't catch my cold.
