Make it easy

I told you the other day that I have a new Cricut Maker. Over the last few days I have been experimenting with it and discovering what it can do...in particular I have been following 

Jennifer Maker's Make it Easy Craftalong challenge

Yesterday's theme was about animals and I made this card:

It started with a white card blank with the various pieces cut with the Cricut and added.The svg was a freebie from Caluya Designs.

Finally I added the sequins and stamped the sentiment directly onto the card blank.

As I will send this as a Birthday card I will also link it to

Today's quote is from Edouard Manet:

2. Layer of Brusho background - Brushos sprinkled through a stencil and spritzed with water. 
3. Clever Dexter is a Lizzy Love (from Oddball Art Co) Digital Stamp, coloured with Copics. He is the logo for the Clever Dexter Challenge - Do take a look over there for inspiration and the current challenge and join in!! This time I used the coloured image in my Cricut machine to print and cut a sticker on label paper.

Happy Butterfly

Last week I was very lucky to receive a Cricut Maker as an early Birthday present -

Happy Birthday to me!!

Over the last few days I have been experimenting with it and discovering what it can do...

Fabric cutting!

  

Two little boxes using perforations as method of scoring, then a scoring stylus.

Today I made this card just out of

 textured cardstock and gunmetal parchment that I had to hand.

The outer card is a golden colour, the butterflies grey - the photo does not really illustrate this! When the card is opened it looks like this:

and in motion:

The theme for Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge #139 is V for View Master Card.

 and she gives instructions on how to make one here. 

The wheel is as follows:

My card is not a View Master card but I may try to make one of those later - it does use Vegas Gold and maybe the large butterfly is a vertical embellishment.
 Still trying to get a better image of the colour...

Anyway I will link this to the Butterfly Challenge #139

As I will send this as a Birthday card I will also link it to
