Happy 19th Anniversary Hubby!

So when I sat down to make an anniversary card for hubby this year I realised I didn’t have a stamp set that was really appropriate for him (birthday cards yes, but not anniversary). His biggest love at the moment is his new Mac Pro computer – he strokes like it’s a precious jewel!! I then had the idea to whip up something Apple related for his card and what better tool for that than the Cricut Explore!!! I found a simple Apple-style logo and downloaded it on to the Cricut Design Space software and in a few very quick steps I cut the letters and the apple from thick black card. A good layer of Glossy Accents on the apple gives it a gorgeous shiny appearance. Perfect!!

Thanks for dropping by.

It’s Avery Elle / Authentique Week!

It’s Authentique and Avery Elle week! This week the Avery Elle design team is playing with Authentique papers, Life Cards and embellishments. After visiting here, be sure to check out the Authentique Blog for even more inspiration using both companies products! Don’t forget to comment on the blogs throughout to week to be entered to win a fabulous prize!

I have to admit – when I first received the Authentique goodies I was SCARED!! I’m more of a CAS girl and the mixes of patterns and designs was intimidating!! BUT – once I started pulling some of the papers out and combining them with Avery Elle stamps and dies, the cards kinda just came together!!

For both samples, the card bases are from the “Harmony” collection “Card making stack”. This is a “book” of pre-scored A2 cards and co-ordinates with lots of other ephemera and patterned papers. It was a step out of my comfort zone but I thoroughly enjoyed it there!!!
