Neat & Tangled | Better Together

Hello there, today I have the absolute pleasure to be guessing over at My Mum's Craft Shop for the month of May. I decided to use this super cute image from Neat and Tangled Better Together set, thinking this would make a super cute card for a little boy.

Started by cutting out the A2 stitched circle aperture panel from neenah card and the grass border from green card using the Silhouette cameo. I stamped the little boy image on sketch paper first and using the Silhouette software, scanned the image and using the trace tool to cut die cut shape around the little boy (This is direct scan and does NOT save the scanned image the computer and hence does NOT infringe any copyright as your not saving anything and are just using the cameo as pair of scissors to cut out the image) once you have a cut out I stamped the little boy image onto the cut out using DIY stamp tool and versa fine onyx black ink. Coloured with WHSmith coloured pencils.

Placed the A2 stitched panel with circle aperture and drawn a faint line with pencil around the circle, then using my DIY stamp tool stamped the sentiment with versa fine onyx ink and rubbed out the pencil lines. Placed the grass cut out to the bottom of the panel and adhered to the panel with strong double sided tape. Added double sided foam tape to the rear of the panel (top tip - I always use a glue stick onto the double sided foam tape has this gives me more wiggle room to position the panel correctly) and placed on the card blank. 

Added double sided foam tape to the back of the little boy image and placed on the card just left of the sentiment. Finally added a few white novo drops to finish.

Paper Smooches | Sugar Rush

Hello there, do you ever have that need to craft when your super busy or you have such a hectic day, but you still have that "need" to craft. Well that was me over the weekend and just needed to be creative, so decided to do quick card and calm myself with some zen colouring in. 

Started with square 4.5 x 4.5 inch card blank from Crelando green card that was cut down to size. Created a square stitched panel within the Silhouette Software slightly smaller than the card blank, then using the rounded rectangle and circle tool and welded them together and reduced the size to fit the card panel and created what looks like a retail hook, that what you seen in the stores for hanging products up. I had this idea to use this within my crafting and I think it's worked quite well. Placed sheet of white card on cricut mat and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo. 

Stamped the iced muffin or (bun) from Paper Smooches Sugar rush stamp set first using my diy stamp tool and versa fine onyx black ink then repeat stamped on to a sticky note and cut out the image to create a mask. Then stamped the doughnut and drink on neither side of the muffin. Next stamped the sentiment from the same Paper smooches set just below the image I've already stamped and wanted it to look like the sugary items are sat on top of the sentiment. Slightly under stamped the image so I used my trusty black liner to make the muffin sit correctly. Coloured in the image with colouring pencils. 

Applied double sided foam tape to the back of the panel and adhered to the card blank. Added a few silver metallic sequins using micro glue dots to adhere them to the card.
