There are two layers of green leaves under the flower which I attached with glue dots. I then used another silhouette file to make a with sympathy topper. However, the writing was so narrow in places that it ripped and twisted when i tried to remove it from the cutting mat. So i used a bracket file and print and cut to just write the sentiment on pearlised card.
Next I made two cards as a friend has just became a grandma for the first time with the birth of a baby boy to her son. Again I used silhouette files. (My subscription was probably the most sensible thing I did last year). These three cards took around 2 hours to design, cut and create.
When I was in Montrose shopping I spotted a new craft magazine "Prima Makes" I bought it and it came with a kit to make a little mouse pin cushion. I scanned the templates, used trace on the cameo and made a cutting file for each piece which I then combined into one file. I don't know yet how to offer these for download but if anyone wants one just email me Maelbrigda.
The material that came with the kit was 3cm shorter on one piece compared with the other and even using only a 0.5cm selvedge I couldn't get all the pieces to fit so I raided my stash and made this little mouse which I've named Horace. I will be offering him in the March YDC charity auctions on eBid.net. You can join in the fun by registering and placing a bid or two. Join eBid now.
If you are feeling charitable bidding starts at 9.30am UT on the 24th March. He would make a great alternative Easter pressie (but not for young children) This is the link to the auction
Tomorrow I hope to start on the hood for the hoodie I am making.
Happy Crafting!
