Valentine gifts

A quick post to share what I made my hubby for Valentine's Day.  I used my Cameo to make the card and the gift bag.

 I sprayed the black card with irridescent Spray & Sparkle and just added a red heart gem.

The cutting file for the bag is from The Cutting Cafe - see the link in the sidebar.  It is made from Coordinations cardstock and after distressing it, I added some gems.  The bag didn't turn out quite how I had planned - I should really have used more 'masculine' colours!! and I would have decorated it with different papers BUT I ran out of time :( 

However, I'm pleased that I learnt how to use my Cameo a bit more!

Hope you've had a good week and enjoy the weekend xx



Are you ready for Valentine's Day?

Here are some cards and boxes I have made for Valentine's Day, although all of them could be used for other occasions too, like anniversaries.

I used my fabby new Cameo machine to cut out elements for each card.

Why is it so difficult to get good photos of mirri card?  Grrr!

I cut the heart background with the Cameo and the heart embellishment was part of the 'waste'!

The stripey heart motif was cut using the Cameo:

... and so were the welded hearts:

These heart handle boxes were also cut using the Cameo along with the heart embellishments...

... and so was this cute heart-handled bag

 

Did I mention that I love my new Cameo??? lol!

I have only used it for basic designing so far but the possiblities are endless ... I cant wait till half term to have more time to explore it!

Hope you're all having a good week and the snow has gone in your part of the world.

Keep warm hugs xxx
