I made these cards this week using my Cuttlebug Embossing Folders and some Coredinations Whitewash cardstock and Chatterbox Papers. I love the effects you can achieve with the embossing folders, it is like having another patterned paper. The scallops are all taken from the Cricut Storybook Cartridge.

I am thinking a cherry blossom svg with flocked flowers for one of my cards. Hope it turns out well

I love the Kaisercraft Sugar Sugar range. For my daughter's birthday I made a Kaisercraft Cupcake Album and I am so thrilled with how it turned out. I used my Cricut with SCAL to cut the titles and I also made these cute birthday svg files for paper piecing.

I have been making a few design elements for scrapbook layouts lately. I started with ric rac thinking it would be easy but it really wasn't. I am thrilled with how it turned out though. I had to create a grid over my design in Inkscape in order to have each 'wave' the same height and length. I am sure there is a way to adjust the grid already present on Inkscape but I don't know how, if you do please let me know. I have used the ric rac on a layout that I will be teaching next week.

I was asked by a friend to make a couple of wedding cards. I didn't want to simply duplicate the last card I made, I prefer to make each card an original. I decided to use the Wild Card Cartridge and I am really happy with how this turned out. I cut it at 5.25inches and I inked the edges using a stipling brush and a chalk inkpad. The flowers are 3 layered paper flowers from <a href="http://www.lulus.com.au/">Lu Lus Scrapbooking</a> and the bling is <a href="http://www.heidiswapp.com/">Heidi Swapp</a>. I love the look of the flowers but didn't want to go over board and so I only added the four, it was very tempting to just keep adding them. Now to work on the second card.
