Butterfly Pop-up

(I had to change the close-up to black and white so you can see the butterfly better)

Right now, I'm into pop-ups, I really liked the way it turned out. Made with my pazzles machine.
You can download it here.

If you are interested in practicing Origamic Architecture here is a link to download a book. There are a few books you can download. I downloaded a few along time ago so I don't remember how I did it. Also, it's best to use google translate. Another link is Extreme Cards and Papercrafting you can download books their as well, it's in April and May 2009 archives.

The digital image is from Mlamarre Designs, if you leave a comment at the Cuttlebug Challenge site, she will give you several images for this challenge. I love the designs she created, just fabulous. Digital Images are all the rage right now.

My Time To Craft # 72 - 'Neglected Or Forgotten Stash'! Use something you haven't used in ages or something that you bought, forgotten about and haven't used as yet! For me, I used the clippy that I haven't used for a long time.

For the bag, I designed the scallop bag and the 3 x 3 card with envelope with my pazzles machine. I think it turned out quite nice. I've also added a liner to the bag which can be put on the outside or inside of the bag.

Reservations For Two Please

I thought this would be a fun card to give as an anniversary or birthday card to a loved one. I designed the "Reservations For Two" on my pazzles machine using the pen tool feature, but would rather print it out, however my printer is not available at the moment. Then used the Sizzix phone embossing folder and sanded it, so that it would stand out, lastly used cuttlebug Hearts Blocks behind the phone.Free Smiley Courtesy of www.millan.net

Thanks A Latte

3 x 3 Gift Cards

Free Smiley Courtesy of www.millan.net As the winner of the Use It Challenge, I had the opportunity to challenge my fellow crafters in these three catagories. Use...
  1. An unusual item. Wall paper, gift wrap, an old card front/image made new, mesh bag from kitchen. Bubble wrap used as a stamp, magazine etc...
  2. One Stamp
  3. One Die Cut or embellishment
I made this latte set out of wallpaper sample book that I got from Lowe's. I was able to pick up about a dozen books that were expired and have found some very nice patterns. I just love the pictures of these buildings. I also found this picture on the internet, designed it, and cut it out from my pazzles machine.
And the other die cuts were cut from the Cricut machine.
