Fun Friday Challenge- 27th August

This weeks challenge is to design a men's card.
Here is my card. I used my new Handyman Cricut Cartridge and the Design Studio to make this drill easel card. I used the Crafters Companion Mens disk to get the brick work backing paper.
Let's see what you come up with!! When you're done upload using the link below.

Delicate cakes

I am still preparing craft packs for the children at the school. I have to make sure the cards are quite simple to do as some of the children have special needs. Our first craft class this session is the end of September. I decided to get them to make this delicate looking card with a cup cake in the middle and one with a cute girl on. I used my Martha Stewart border and corner punches for the centre piece. The cake is a digital download from digistampboutique. You can print them in colour or outline to colour yourself. I printed and cut out the colour version and glittered the icing and heart. We only have an hour so it gives them a chance to get two cards made. The other card has some colouring to do and will take them a little while. The papers are from Crafters Companion SWALK cd and a digital download from The Clip Art Fairy. The second card is made with SWALK papers and SWALK Stamps. I used my Martha Stewart punch and 3 Birds flowers from Crafters Companion.

Stampin' Up start to finish!!

Thought I would have a go at using my Stampin' Up rollers and some of my new Stampin' Up stamp sets. Took a few attempts to get it to roll properly, I used the Stampin' Up ruler to keep it straight. I made it in a blue theme after seeing a similar layout on the net. I may try and do this card at either my craft classes or with the children at my school craft club.

Cricut Wall Decor cartridge

Managed to win this new cart on the Ebay.com site. I have a friend from the Cricut message board who said it would be ok to send to her and she would forward it. They can be won quite cheaply as there are thousands of carts on the site. Most of them offer free postage to USA addresses. I paid $13.00 plus $4.99 shipping to USA. Think it will cost about $6 to send it to me. Works out about £16 so a good bargain.
It has some lovely images.

Beatrix Potter - Two bad mice baby card

I saw this cute sample on one of the Crafters Companion Create and Craft shows and decided to give it a go. I used my own baby embossing folder which was different from the one they used. Not used the verse writer on the CC cds before and it took me a couple of goes before it actually printed with the verse on it!!

Mini notelets - Stampin up stamps

Thought I'd use my new stamps from Stampin Up to make these mini notelets. They are 8cm square in size. I had bought 8.5cm and 7cm square envelopes a while ago, so needed to use them for something. I used my stamp positioner to get the stamp design in the right place.
I didn't do very well with the trees but practice makes perfect they say.

Help with Pop Up card project - Beatrix Potter

I was asked to help a school girl to make a pop up card for a talk at her school. I made the project up for her along with a second set of materials for her to demo at her talk. I hope she gets on ok.
I used my Crafters Companion Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit cds again.
I cropped the scene so I could add extra grass to the bottom half of the card. I used a couple of layers of the decoupage characters for the inside.
