A Couple of Cards
Blimey alert the media, I made 2 , yep 2 , cards today!!! I am on a roll. The other thing is that these cards are quite unlike the sort of cards I usually make. I am a kind of "in yer face bold brights" type of gal, whereas these are a mix of Basic Grey (shock horror) and the most fab DCWV Christmas Stack. These little 6x6 paper pads that you see around are such a boon for the card maker since the patterns are all scaled down nicely to fit on a card. The "Joy" card uses the SU Collage Alphabet set plus a die cut tree from the Cricut Christmas Cheer cartridge.

This card has been put through a mangle and punched (how cruel). Heaven knows why I crumpled it, I guess I was just getting into a grunge groove ha ha! BG Phoebe paper, Kraft cardstock from SU and SU stamps from the Be Happy and I think Itty Bittys sets. Not sure if these will all be available in the UK as the catalogue only goes live on Thursday. I love the Kraft Cardstock, I think I'll be using it for my Xmas cards, if I get around to making the darn things!

I have done that too! Made something and crushed it. Well I didnt like it so I pressed it with my iron. No steam of course and not too hot. Then I loved it.

I have done that before crinkled and then wasnt sure I liked it. So I pressed it with my iron. Looked great. Not too hot though.
