My first ever Criss Cross Card

Hi everyone,

Hope your week isn't going too badly so far, almost half way through now.

Well this card is a rarity for me for a few reasons, firstly it is my first attempt at a Criss Cross card, there was not a single Copic used...it just feels wrong LOL and not a digital element, stamp or paper in sight and i have used traditional Valentines colours and image. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out and i hope you like it.

I made up my card using the papers from my collection and decided that i would make the band removable, plus this way you can reposition the image so if you want to make the message on the removable panel secret you can do or you can move the image down slightly so you can see the top. I took pictures of all three pieces so you could see in a little more detail.

The completed card assembled

Just the band (don't you love my mini bucket in the background)

The insert with the gem detail i added.

For this card i used...

Black card from my stash

Papers & Image Country Companions by Do Crafts

Spellbinders Circle and Scalloped Circle Dies

White and Red ribbon from Stash

Martha Stewart Border Punch

Adhesive red and Heart shaped gems

White card from stash

Simple but effective Valentine

Hi everyone,

me again back with another card, this one came about as my mum gave me an embossing folder as she had managed to buy the same one twice...oops. It was certainly my gain and i really like it. As the embossing is really gorgeous on its own i did not want to do too much to the card in case it detracted from it.

Here is what i came up with...

I used the following to make this card

Couture Creations Happiness embossing folder

Flourishes sentiment stamp

Heart Punch

Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch

Mini Gems from stash

Clear star Gelly roll

I would very much like to enter my card in the following challenges

Kenny K digital image - New colours for me

Hi everyone,


well i resisted the urge to do another Hannah Lynn card and this time chose Trouble by Kenny K, i am also a big fan of his images as i find them fun and funky. I am entering this one into the Cute Card Thursday challenge and this week's challenge is NEW, well this is definitely a new colour scheme for me as i have avoided colours like Lime Green in the past and i also wouldn't have dared to put lime green and pink together so this is definitely something NEW for me. I am trying to be a little more daring in my card making this year and trying to stray outside of my comfort zone as much as possible and so far i have been quite pleased with the result.

The patterned papers i got free in Australian Simply Cards magazine a while ago and have decided to be daring and use them.

The Image is Trouble by Kenny K and i love her, she is such fun

The image was coloured using my trusty Copics and next card i promise to make a note of the colours i use

The Card itself came from Kmart of all places and the pink pearlescent paper i used as backing i picked up at my local newsagent.

Well sadly its back to work after two weeks off over Christmas and New Year but i have to pay for my crafting supplies some how.

as always thanks for taking the time
