I have a new phone...a brand new GalaxySII. I can't believe it, I am so excited, but now have to work out how to use it! Tim has the original Galaxy S so he has promised to teach me how to use an Android phone...there may be less crafting for a while as I learn and play. Enough about the shiney new phone...here is my desk for this weeks
WOYWW. As I type I am in the middle of making a new baby card for a work colleague. I have a steaming hot mug of tea, the card, the topper I have made, a Crafty Individuals stamp on an acrylic block, my box full of versa colour ink pads and embossing powders, a few random pieces of card and the photos of Alex that have been on my desk since last week.
Here is the finished card which used a new technique for me...threading ribbon through the edge of a die-cut shape. I was given the shape and was really pleased when the ribbon threading worked so well. This means I am entering this card to the
Crafty Cardmakers spotlight challenge of using a new technique and the
MTTC challenge of using a die cut. As the card features pastel blue and a very cute cuddly teddy bear I am also entering it into the
PTW 'pale pretty pastels' and the 'bears' challenges from
Stamptacular and
Pile it on.
I have also made another Birthday card that fits with the
Less is More 'butterfly', the
Spoonfull of sugar 'things with wings' and the
delicious doodles 'let the sun shine' challenges. The background was made by masking a circle and using an inverse mask for the main shape of the images and then brayering over them both so this card also fits with the
Delightful challenges 'masking' challenge. That is all from me for now. Have a great rest of the week.
Love,
Caro

Both cards are lovely, I especially like the colours of the sunset on your butterfly card, so effective. Your storage box looks very usefull and full of goodies :o) thanks for sharing.
First I thought - oh is that a die cutting machine - no a phone!
Great colours on that card.
Thanks for sharing, have a great week.

Beautiful cards - the ribbon threading is very effective.

Hi Caro love the card topper. I had never thought of threading the ribbon through the dies either until we did it at class on Saturday.
I don't even know what your phone is let alone use one. Mine is very simple. LOL Anne x
What a great project. Love the design!

what great cards, really like the ribbon on the first one!!! thanks for playing along with PIO!!!
Those cards are both beautiful in their different ways. The first one is so beautifully colour toned. I have punches to thread ribbon through but not a die. That is really pretty.
Beautiful cards! Congrats on getting a new phone. I am still learning my phone and I have had it almost a year! Thanks for sharing. Vickie #46
