BBTB2 - Parrot!

Hi, today is a new challenge over at BBTB2 and our wonderfully talented Caroline is our host.
Birds of a feather is this week's challenge.
I love the bird on Art Philosophy and always go to that one. But what is a challenge without challenging yourself?!


I Used the parrot cut in his cage from Wild Card 2 cut at 4.5" instead.
DP - Crate Paper - Random and silver sparkle fibres to hang the cage.
My Pink Stamper - Tweetie Hoo Puns


It's cuter in person but the jury is still out...not sure it's one of my favourite cards but I like that it is different!!! Lol.

The DT really do have some super cards for inspiration. Do check them out and come and join in the fun.

From the Kitchen...


Hi Everyone, how have you all been keeping?
 
Today the very talented and lovely Shelly has asked us to create a cricut project From the Kitchen over at BBTB2.
 
 
I used Wild Card 2 for the card and layers all cut at 4.5"
The DP is Floral Pavillion.
I made a matching envelope but cut it larger at 4.75" because of the dimension of the card.
 
 
We had a fab trip and tournament in Jakarta and I will share details and piccies soon but only got back at the weekend and  work is looming!!
 
I will be around to catch up with you all later this week but in the meantime check out all the amazing projects from my Design Team sisters and come and join in the fun.

Birthday Wishes Cupcake!


This is my second post of the day. For my friendship recipe FCCB post please scroll down.
 
Today,our lovely,talented Stephanie is hosting the challenge over at BBTB2 and has asked us to use the colour Amethyst (for the birthstone of February) and to include a cricut cut cake on our projects.
 
 
I used Wild Card 2 for all the cuts at 5"
 
Lots of people have asked me to show how I emboss and use Stampendous Embossing enamel.
Here are a few pictures to try and explain!
 
I put my card in the embossing folder and run through the Vagabond.
They work in the BigShot and Cuttlebug too.
 
I choose different folders for different cuts.
 
I sometimes sand my embossing to make it pop!
I love using kraft-core cardstock so that when I sand the embossing, the core shows through.
I love the grungy look it gives it.Then of course I have to ink all the edges!!
 
 
I felt the purple card was a bit dark and heavy for this project so to knock it back a little I decided to add some enamel.
 
You sprinkle the enamel over the cardstock and heat it with a heat gun until it melts. It's best to melt from underneath but it takes longer to melt and I am inpatient,so I heat from above as it's quicker!
The trick is to start far away and gradually move closer as the enamel chunks aren't glued to the card until they melt and fly everywhere!
For larger areas or bigger clumps you can use Versamark reinker to attach it to the cardstock and then you can just blast as quick as you like.
 
The melted enamel!
 
All layers glued and dimensionals added for extra depth.
Rock Candy distress crackle glaze added to the cupcake frosting.
My Creative Time for the banner and sentiment.
 
 
Hope that helps!
 
Well my DT sisters have lots of inspiring projects to share with you so do check them out.
Come and join in the fun!
 
Thanks for looking.

Fly Away

This is my second post of the day,
for my Jump In and Cool Off card click here.

The awesomely talented Jeri is our host this week at BBTB2 and the theme is
Fly Away.
We want to see your hot air balloons and if you don't have a cricut cart with
one on,then you can use an airplane.


I cut this at 5" from Wild Card 2.
And look....no embossing!!!!
My Vagabond died on me!!...then started kicking out plumes of acrid smoke!!
But hats off to The Glitter Pot who replaced it and have sent it
back to Ellison.(It was torture having to have a trip out to this fab craft shop!   lol!!
Had to do a bit of crafty shopping...it would be rude not too....and
Christmas was calling my name!!)

There's lots of fabulous inspiration from the ladies over at BBTB2.
We love it when you join in,just remember your air balloon or plane must be a cricut cut.

Caught on You

Hello Everyone,hope you all had a good weekend.
This is a scheduled post as we are still enjoying our 4 day weekend of celebrations!

Today is a new challenge over at BBTB2 and the lovely Sandi has asked us to use our cricuts
to make a project to do with water.


All layers cut at 4.5" from Wild Card 2. (It's ok...my fascination with this cart is fixed and I will use something different for my next project..lol!!)
I  embossed and sanded everything and shock! horror! only inked 1 part of my card!!
I haven't added a sentiment yet as it may be birthday or Father's day.

This was such a simple card to make and I was pleased with how it turned out.
My fellow DT have made some fabulous projects to do with water so do check them out
and we love it when you come and join in with us over at BBTB2.

Thanks for looking.
I will catch up with everybody really soon.
Hugs

Anyway,today is a new challenge over at BBTB2 and our lovely teamie Julia has set a garden challenge.
We want to see a project with a cricut cut from or to do with the garden.
