This card is another simple one – the only way Christmas cards can be, when you’ve so many to make! I broke out my CraftRobo to cut the snowflakes in the Kraft cardstock. This was a super simple design, which took me about 10 minutes to design. This is a great way to bash out a bulk load of Christmas cards – just design your card, repeat the design to fill your A4 card, pop it into the ‘Robo, and off you go!
I used this gorgeous flocked paper pack from GCD Studios called Paris Nights – scrumptious! The card was for my parent’s wedding anniversary this August just gone. And the reason I didn’t share it, was because I made it in such a rush before heading off to Australia, that blogging it was the last thing on my mind. 
The glossy accents I’ve used on the circle punch outs really lift the colour in them – they almost look like shiny brads! Speaking of which, in my next video, I’ll show you how to make patterned brads to match any project, such fun =)
The artwork on the card was inspired by the Aboriginal art I saw so much of when we were in Oz. Now my card is by no means Aboriginal art, but simply my own take on it from the inspiration I had! I don’t pretend to know anything much about the Aboriginal culture, and this card has no ‘story’ to tell like with many of the Aboriginal drawings. But I had great fun playing around painting in dots and being ‘arty’ for half an hour!! =)
This card is for a new baby girl, and can be easily converted to an “it’s a boy” by using blue themed papers and changing the sentiment. I’ve used a set of digi stamps called "On the Line" from MyGrafico. 
I’ve used the paper piecing sentiment for the whole of this card, so there was a lot of cutting out required! But it was worth it in the end, and I just LOVE the little baby-gro effect, it’s super cute =)
The sentiment does not come with the digi stamps, but I created it in no time using MS Word. The font was Helvetidoodle by Ed T, which you can download for free at DaFont.com – an absolute treasure trove of super fonts to suit all different tastes and needs.

This card is for my Dad for Father's Day. I've used a Martha Stewart deep edge border punch and slightly customised it to create the shiny black trellis border at the top. I think that gives the ric rac ribbon some balance nearer the bottom of the card.
I’m using this card to send a note to a friend, and my plan is to use a trick I learnt from Kristina Werner by not writing on the inside of the card at all, just sticking a post-it note in there, along with the letter I want to send. Then the recipient can take out the post-it and reuse the card. All they have to do is find another envelope and they’re ready to go. It’s like a double-barrel surprise; a handwritten letter AND a note card she can send on herself.Hi folks! Just a couple of things to update you with before my next video goes live later on this evening…
As usual, any questions, please email me and I’ll get back to you as soon as I am able.
Pop back a little later for my next video tutorial =)
It is a fairly simple card, and if I had enough micro chip stickers I could’ve made quite a few…but I’m running very low on my Basic Grey chipboard stash! However, there's a couple for sale in my Folksy Shop if you'd like.
I spent quite a lot of time cutting out all of the features of this card, but it was so worth it in the end. I just love this effect! I’ve got more plans for this technique…
I’ve made it using black c.s. which can be a difficult colour to work with, but this c.s. has a nice embossed pattern in it, so it’s not just a block of black, there’s a subtle pattern there too. 
The flowers were cut out of some patterned paper and I used my embossing tool to create the 3d effect of the petals.
My wonderful Dad also turned 60 last month, so I made a very similar card for him too (in fact his was the 1st!). For both cards, I’ve used some masculine-esque papers and done some antiquing using distress inks. This looks great as an edging effect and has the added bonus of covering up any errant craft-knife slip ups when cutting out! You could cut out such a card using a CraftROBO, but I fancied doing one by hand. Also, the cardstock I used was quite thick, so maybe a little much for my little ROBO. The ‘30’ card has the fold on the top edge, and the ‘60’ the fold is on the left. 
this was super fast and easy AND it gave me a great excuse to break out my new Deep Edge Garden Trellis punch by Martha Stewart which I purchased from the wonderful Joanna Sheen for the brilliant price of £15.99 inc P&P – and that really is a bargain, cos this punch is HEAVY! And I truly love this punch. I will be breaking it out in a video tutorial soon I’m sure =)
