launched today on Create&CraftTV Creative Cuts USB from Cutting Craftorium

I have made this sample with vinyl layering up the different colours onto a base of blue card then cutting two circles of white card to make the card base.
I enlarged this file and used pastels to make the layers up.
The top layer in black has the flowers cut out and the word drawn on I then layered on white then another black mat before adding to a white base. 
I absolutely love this sample. I used three layers of card for the greens then vinyl for the silver and the font. I then used a cutting tool to add the holes stuck the lights to the back before adding a white card layer to hide the wires.

Pick of the day today on Create&CraftTV the Cutting Craftorium magazine USB vol 2

for this sample I altered the door frame to a heart cut the heart through all of the door layers and added a vellum between the layers when assembling. the hooks on the inside I added by adding a couple of rows of marks which I drew with the scanncut when cutting the back section, before adding the backing paper I used a screw to screw into the drawn marks ensuring I didn't go all the way through I then added the hooks dipping into glue before pacing so they are very stable.
For this sample I added my own label name I also cut the paper tassel away and added a real one 
For the star I altered the top layer by adding the cut out pattern into the top layer of the star I also added vinyl stars by using the inbuilt heart and altering the size to fit the stars in the pattern of the inlay.
For this sample I followed the directions included in the booklet to make the font but I cut it in vinyl instead of card. Where mine also differs is that I used 3 layers of blackboard paint and incuded a piece of chalk.

Complete your collection USB on @Create&CraftTV from 6pm

For this sample I made an easel card inking the edges to match the colour scheme layered up the charisma doing a spot of fussy cutting to make the bunnies headdress the top layer. 
For this sample I made an easel card with three circles the same size as the charisma added multiple layers one of which I altered the cut file so it would leave the background whole. I then finished with some drops for snow. 
I used grey board for the bauble painted with cadence paint with a thick acetate sandwiched between. The USB includes reversed charisma all you have to do is flip the cut file and hey presto a bauble. After adding layers of the charisma I added glitter structure paste.

Tattered Lace alphabets and Words USB launched this week




I used the we are memory keepers foiling pen (the thin nib) on the scanncut to foil font and I wanted a mat rather than cut to size so I made my own mat layer.

I love this font, soooo many of the fonts come with a charisma for you to print off scan then line up the cutting file on top and cut out. This is a balloon font which works really well, I didn't have to add anything to make the letters pop the charisma does it all.
