I made them each a card which I am told they loved and kept looking and pointing it out to any visitors they had for their birthday. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNSBdReGksz6OtjBg2PvioCzLKUHnmgHJAvesGRdqELRRTF6dY1m5gnESyobHG1jqjuQxIKEXHoPSX-1nbpFPOSI32aFUXclg85fn6NcSjaLtVIuhyYVC0J5DNV5STA-EvGBBczoeyusU/s1280/ben+%2526+archie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="719" data-original-width="1280" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNSBdReGksz6OtjBg2PvioCzLKUHnmgHJAvesGRdqELRRTF6dY1m5gnESyobHG1jqjuQxIKEXHoPSX-1nbpFPOSI32aFUXclg85fn6NcSjaLtVIuhyYVC0J5DNV5STA-EvGBBczoeyusU/s320/ben+%2526+archie.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>I cut out both of the designs from Cricut Design Space which made it so easy to layer them on top - I used both double sided tape and 3D foam pads. The numbers I cut out on vinyl and put them on where I thought they would suit. I then used the Cricut machine to write Happy Birthday on both of the cards - surprisingly I managed to line it up correctly first time! </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfWH2iZ8CX7gF2j-YRDdD_d7iKnpRoZbcWMr9a2hAZURA96NbKer0WpVqV4FxZs2miyw9Uud3HahT2SDBWJ6dMY0J801QAkga8cbhyVEGSCgCj4fXnLlNAiQfgSAGkXTiAf5aGbOk8bhQ/s1280/jack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="1280" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfWH2iZ8CX7gF2j-YRDdD_d7iKnpRoZbcWMr9a2hAZURA96NbKer0WpVqV4FxZs2miyw9Uud3HahT2SDBWJ6dMY0J801QAkga8cbhyVEGSCgCj4fXnLlNAiQfgSAGkXTiAf5aGbOk8bhQ/s320/jack.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>For Jack's card I printed out a design I bought from CC Designs called 'Sneaking a Lick'. I coloured this in using my Copic markers - colouring in is so relaxing! I layered this on papers that I found in amongst my old craft supplies. I used my Cricut to cut out the bunting at the top and then to cut out Jack's name in vinyl. </p><p>Unfortunately we can't see our nephews as much as we would like to, as they live down in Essex and we are in Livingston, Scotland. We do try to see them as much as we can (we are going on holiday with them in a couple of weeks which we can't wait for!) but birthday FaceTime's were lovely. </p><p>Lee's mums birthday was the day before Jack's so I made her a little card too - she really liked it when it arrived. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDG3YpbD0QE06NCLGPusK_9UyTgves77sNOBttD1D7yKnTzdOYyqXnqDuH7mASjrfjeLG3RVCoizpoKrzAhC9f_8Jq6xmBlxnOm3xwVM-4hvvYBRuQI3aGYq_yoKmiCZtMujnKRKBcJUY/s1280/mum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="681" data-original-width="1280" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDG3YpbD0QE06NCLGPusK_9UyTgves77sNOBttD1D7yKnTzdOYyqXnqDuH7mASjrfjeLG3RVCoizpoKrzAhC9f_8Jq6xmBlxnOm3xwVM-4hvvYBRuQI3aGYq_yoKmiCZtMujnKRKBcJUY/s320/mum.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>I cut out the MUM letters on plain white card using my Cricut and then used a peg stamp set to create the design, I used the colour ink that was suggested with the stamps. I added some glitter to finish it off as can't go wrong with some sparkle even though it isn't visible on the photo! I used plain card to mount the letters on and then the Cricut machine to write Happy Birthday as I couldn't find any stamps that would have fitted. I also wrote a verse inside using the Cricut as it would have been neater than my writing & she likes cards with 'lots of words' as Lee says. </p><p>That is all I have managed to make so far but I will be making a start on my Christmas Cards soon. I have already looked out all of my supplies in preparation! I am also hoping to make an advent calendar so hopefully that works out. But I will share that if I manage to make it. </p><p>Until next time - Carly x</p><p><br /></p>Carly :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15132484188896768452noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889611289627480441.post-42485564226176812642021-10-07T14:54:00.001-07:002021-10-07T14:54:55.321-07:00It's been a while...Coming back to my blog after almost 11 years, hoping to gain some more followers and stick with it this time as it is something I really enjoy. <div><br /></div><div>When I started my blog I was 17 and waiting to start University to study Accounting. Then life kind of got busy with studying and then starting to work. I have since had a couple of jobs all within a bust finance department. I have been in my current job for just over a year - I moved jobs in the middle of the Covid-19 Pandemic but it was the best decision I made. </div><div><br /></div><div>I also moved out of my parents house and bought a house with my Boyfriend and we have been in our house for 4 years now. it has been an adjustment for us both since it was our first time living away from home. Both of our parents are very supportive and are frequent visitors :) </div><div><br /></div><div>For my birthday this year my parents bought me a Cricut Maker which I wanted as I seen so many things people had been making. It has taken me some time to get used to it and I learn something new almost every time I use it. It has a home in my dining room as I don't have the space for a craft room but that will be a must if we ever move again! </div><div><br /></div><div>I will keep my blog up to date this time around and add photos of the creations I manage to make. I am hoping that I will not have to buy any more cards and each one will be handmade - hopefully I can keep to this! </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP5eZKSclnT3o5RdfLfQWHbvqpyqK2x9WLz1vkYp1VeDYN3RKW3BwRkfuGBxXe0vN0kWrFm5MyA4For3WWNdkc2wmvxeJmlDVtRNh23ykT50zwUfarGTn1Nl0my9vpy2WhrBeDq6-CESw/s2048/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1031" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP5eZKSclnT3o5RdfLfQWHbvqpyqK2x9WLz1vkYp1VeDYN3RKW3BwRkfuGBxXe0vN0kWrFm5MyA4For3WWNdkc2wmvxeJmlDVtRNh23ykT50zwUfarGTn1Nl0my9vpy2WhrBeDq6-CESw/s320/1.jpg" width="161" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Carly :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15132484188896768452noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889611289627480441.post-37438353887420696522010-11-23T12:53:00.000-08:002010-11-23T12:53:13.132-08:00Stylish Blogger Award<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Thank you <a href="http://catscreativecornerwithcricutandmore.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">Cat</span></a></b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b> for the Stylish Blogger Award!

Hi all ....<br />
For my card tonight I used papers that I had in my stash, for the image I used the Penny Black "Fantasy" stamp. I stamped it black and added autumn coloured glitter to match the papers. Hope you all like it. :)!<br />

Well this is my next card and I have used papers from the same We R Memory keepers pack as yesterdays card. I stamped the flower from a Stampin Up set and coloured it in with copics and layered it on to the card. the paper already had glitter but I added some extra glitter as you can never have too much glitter.<br />

I had to get Fiona (<a href="http://www.fiscardsandcrafts.blogspot.com/">fiscardsandcrafts</a>)to help me with this cos it's a bit technical but I will get the hang of it. since Fiona is on the Design Team for Paper Sundaes I thought I better enter that challenge first. I didn't follow a sketch for my first card, I just went with my own thing as I wasn't sure...anyway this is a CC Design image and I coloured her with MY copics, not Fiona's!! The paper is from a bumper pack from We R Memory Keepers which I thought it looked nice with this image and I added some glamour dust glitter and 2 flower buttons.<br />

I used pink bazill card which I layered onto a white card, the stamp is from Stampin' Up - Crazy for Cupcakes..Fiona let me borrow it...she's so kind!! I only needed to add a tiny bit of colour and some glitter on the image. I added some matching ribbon to finish off. I am going to be posting the cards I make here on my new blog and enter some challenges,I hope you like them. I would love you to leave me some lovely comments too!!<br />
