3D train

Hi there,
well with Bendigo Craft Alive looming on the horizon this weekend (by the way - watch Weekend Sunrise as they will be broadcasting from the show!! let me know if you see us on it!)

Anyway, as I was saying with Craft Alive coming up, I was turning my mind to doing some 3D type items, I'd seen someone else had made a train using the Wood Crate Framelit dies, she'd used the really cute Animal Outing to put the kangaroo, giraffe, and Rhino in the carriages.  However I seem to be distinctly lacking in animal stamps :(  but then I remembered......

Yes! the Cookie Cutter Christmas has a reindeer in it! Cut the reindeer and Santa out with the matching Cookie Cutter Builder Punch (yay for punches!)  I was so pleased with the way this turned out, even Tom (the hubbie) was impressed! (he's insistent that I tell you the "smoke" was his idea lol) although I was the one that had to make it happen!

I hope that people will like this at the show.  Do leave me a comment to let me know what you think!
I hope it inspires you to create some 3D items at home too

God Bless love

X Box fun!

Hi there, 

Well tomorrow son #1 (Benjamin) is off to a party, so.....Mum can you make him one of those X Box controller cards....

After making it (actually I ended up making 4 so I have some spares!) I thought wey hey I can do a blog post on this lol!

Here is my version of the X Box controller as a card:

I have used a combination of circle punches 1", 1/2", 3/4"  (and other punches such as the Cookie Cutter builder punch!)

Here is the original controller that I copied from:

And then I decided to get creative, as Ben said, well they do come with patterns on them too Mum:

Break out the Sale-a-Bration set Epic Celebration - if you purchase $90 of goodies you could get this set for free! :)

 He picked the creative one!

What do you think? which would you pick?

Thanks for reading this, and I hope it inspires you to look at things around you and see if you can create a card to look like them!, I'd love to see what you create!

God Bless love
