Bauble and box

 Hi Everyone, today I have a bauble, box and a card I made for the youngest member of our family, Iris. It's her first Christmas. I have made one for each of her siblings in the past, mostly to remind them that they have part Welsh blood, their Grandmother, my niece, is Welsh, the children's parents are English and Scots.

I added the reindeer and the sentiment to the front shape for the card, then print and cut the shape. The gold mirror card was also cut into the same shape and layered under the reindeer layer. I had some bows in a little box, that had been cut a long time ago. I decided to add them to match the bow on the reindeer antler. The box was cut. Then paper was cut to size and added.

I bought some fillable baubles and also print and cut a Welsh girl with Nadolig Llawen, Welsh for Happy Christmas. I filled it with faux snow and hung the girl inside, next I cut Iris's name and the year, I used a bold font as her name is short and I wanted it to show up. Also added are snowflakes from permanent vinyl, adding them to the closed bauble. I hope she will like it, when she understands. Her siblings add theirs each year to the tree, which is lovely to think their parents help them to do it.

Another birthday card

Hi Everyone, I have another birthday card today, I saw a card, that I loved, but didn't take notice of the blog, sorry, just copied the card to use the sketch shape as I love it. So thank you Jen Zeeb for inspiration.







This is my interpretation

It's for my Great Niece's 16th birthday, I added stitching with my little sewing machine that I bought for a bargain last year, I think I have used it twice, must get the tension right!!!!!!!

I added a cut out 16 on my Cricut, then dry embossed it with one of my new Tattered Lace borders, I added 3D gloss to the raised part, hope you can see it. I added Xcut punched mini flowers and a sentiment by Create with TLC.  The fab digi stamp by All dressed up Stamps I coloured in Photoshop.

Dp's by Lucy Hampton from her Old Rose kit, I got it in 2007! So glad I haven't deleted old files, I keep telling my son when he tells me to clear "stuff" off the 'puter I may need them, - proved, LOL.

You may wonder why I added the sentiment, and airplane?, well Millie's Dad has been promoted to China, and she and her Mum will moving over there, not long after her birthday and school exams.

Sewing Card

Hi Everyone.  What a difference in 2 days ay? lovely today, down to 20 degrees with a cool breeze.

On to a card I made for my SIL she really is a super needlewoman.  Practically a "Taylor" after making a beautiful Chanel type jacket.

I had to include a sewing machine and then used actions and styles to change the DP's into fabric and embroidery and added stitches to match the colours, all in Photoshop.  I cut the sentiment out on my Cricut.  After printing, I 3D'd the DP's and the top layer with the machine on it, I couldn't go too high as it had to be posted.  Glad to say she liked it.

All DP's are by Summertime Designs

The only info I have of the sewing machine is the file is HW+Sewing+machine, (I've had it for years!)

Sentiment font is Stitching Cards 310

Greeting is Murray Bold
