Art Deco and Martha Stewart

It has been far too long since I put up a card on here, so at long last with inspiration from Myra at our card group, I got around to making a couple of cards. I hope that this will kick start me into making some more. I'm sure that after the long saga with my Pazzles cutting machine, that when I do get it back again next week- hurray! - I will be able to start posting more. We are off to the UK on Friday to see family so I'm really looking forward to that.

An untraditional Christmas card

I recently hosted a challenge on the Imag-e-nation forum and was so taken with one of the entries that I had to try to produce my own version of it. So a big thank you to Kim for being the inspiration for this card. I hope it makes you chuckle as much as it did me.
I have altered the dog image since first posting it, so this is my second attempt.
Just in case you are wondering, the two circles inside the little card are magnets for closure.

What would I do without my Craft Robo

Once again my Craft Robo has taken all the hard work out of cutting out this card.
I have kept it simple and plain apart from the dove where I used Glamour dust.

The snowflakes on the next card were mainly cut by Robbie. I am selling him very soon, and I have bought a Pazzles to replace him. This new machine will be known as Paco and I'm hoping that he will also be as good, if not better, than Robbie has been.

Pleated Card with Cuttlebug Border bars and Rollographed background

I really enjoy doing these pleated cards and thought it was the best way to show off the new Cuttlebug embossing border bars.
I used the rollograph to stamp and emboss the backing paper which seems to have given a good effect. Hope you like it too.

3 Side step cards

I love the versatility of these cards.
They are great for any event.
Here are 3 that I have done recently.
The first one is for Father-in-Law's Birthday
The second one is for our son's partner who did so well obtaining her 1st, and the third one speaks for itself - lol.
