Man's Congratulations card ...





... had to make this very simply as my printer has thrown a "hissy fit" and decided not to work!!  I needed a card so, used my Cuttlebug to create the background on blue card stock using the Swiss Dots folder.  Also used the Cuttlebug "Congrats" embossing folder and a border, both of these were embossed on rainbow mirri card and matted and layered on white and blue card stock.  Finished of with a white organza ribbon with a knot.  Thanks for looking.

Two projects ...

... firstly an anniversary card.  I made this shape using a template and cutting around printed card, it is about 5 1/2 inches square.  The background, the matting and layering are all from the MCS Click, Print and Go Advanced Flower Expert CD.  The flowers are ones that came die cut in the kit.  These have been glittered and gems but in the middle.  The only other addition was the rainbow mirri card as one of the matt layers.  I also Cuttlebug embossed one layer of the matts too.  




I made this cover for sticky notes from an MCS peacock feather image and put some glossy accents on a reflection.  Thanks for looking.
