Good Afternoon!

I have a Motorcycle shaped card cut file for you today which I made for a family members birthday, I designed this card for my own use and hadn’t planned to share it here, but if you can make use of it, you are very welcome. I feel I should warn you that the file does have several small pieces but if you follow either the black/pink picture or my card you should be ok to figure out which order to layer them in, also I have placed the pieces in color groups which I hope helps too.

I cut the shaped card in black then cut out the bike shaped layer in dark grey then cut the other “metal” parts in 2 different shades of lighter grey. The seat, handlebar grip and tyres get cut out in black and the lights are cut from orange and red card. You can chose which colour you would like your bike to be by cutting the petrol tank, side cover and mudguards (all shown in pink in the image below) in your chosen colour. I made a black bike so it resembles the recipients bike. I shaded all of my pieces with black soot and weather wood distress inks before gluing together then coloured the holes in the pipes with a fine liner black pen.

Hey Guys!

I have a couple of cut files for you today, a rolled flower and the scalloped card base then thought why not add the digi sentiment too. Rolled flowers have been on my list for a while now and had to give myself a kick up the bum to finally gave it a go, it was a bit fiddly and time consuming but I’m glad I have one done and I have a few more planned which should be a lot quicker too. I needed a scalloped card to follow this weeks sketch at Card Patterns, I would normally use a Spellbinders die but I wanted this bad boy to be approx 6 inches square so I made a scalloped card base cut file. The card base has a looped edge but you can just remove those insert cuts to get a solid scalloped card as I have here.

The flowers have alot of dimension, to bring some more depth to the card, I ruffled some half inch satin ribbon and popped my sentiment frame up onto 3D foam pads. My final touch was to add some pearls to the middle of my flowers. I enjoyed making this card even though the dimension of it took me well out of my comfort zone, I hope you will have fun using these cut files too :)

Hiyah!

I have a digi image and 2 co-ordinating digi sentiments for you today. Strangely enough the idea of the world within the heart came to me while I was brushing my teeth, lol, flashes of inspiration come at any time don’t they?

I aimed for a more masculine take with my valentines day gift tag so I kept it simple without any traditional pink or red to be seen anywhere! I coloured my image with Copics, printed my sentiment and trimmed both. The tag base was just a couple of Spellbinder labels, an eyelet and some ribbon, tag – done.

Good Afternoon!

I have 2 digis and 2 cut files for you today and yes I know what you’re thinking, 3 posts in as many days? Well I like to keep you on your toes ;) Hopefully you would never know that I took this picture at around 10pm last night when it was pitch black outside, yay for my new craft light!

The starting point for my card were some puffy fabric hearts that I picked up in town a couple of days ago, they came in a bag of 3 for 15p (23 cents) bargain huh? Well I was sure I could use them somehow.

I took a digi I made last year in this post and isolated the scroll from the heart. I added a sentiment then cut the scroll into the seperate front and back pieces, coloured with Copics and stuck onto the heart with double sided tape. I followed this weeks Card Patterns sketch using my new decorative circle frame and border cut files which match the square frame from my Mums birthday card if the pattern looks familiar.
