60th Birthday Card

This Napkin Fold card I made for my Mum's 60th Birthday.

I die cut the circle using Nellie Snellen circle dies and distressed it with Walnut Stain distress ink.
The flourish and word on the front were cut using my Making Memeories Slice. The floursish is cut from the Remember This design card, and the MUM was cut using the shadow feature at 1" from the Vintage Findings design card.

The greeting inside the card was cut using my Making Memories slice and the Words and Expressions Holidays designs card and the border is a Martha Stewart Bubbles around the page set.

The pink flower cardstock, (unfortunately I do not know the brand), was bought from Carols Crafts, and sprayed with Crafters Companion irridescent spray.
The green and pink paper came from a scrapbooking stack the I picked up in sale from TKMaxx. Again, I do not know the brand, the stack had lost its cover.

18th Birthday Card using Making Memories slice

For this card, I cannot accept any credit. It was made entirely by my Boys age 7 and 5.
They made it for their Uncle using my Making Memories slice.

All the words, leters and numbers were cut from vinyl and I'm not completely sure which design cards they used, but its from any of these: Basic Elements, Basic Shapes 2 or Remember This.

My Slice Bag

My new slice cutter needs a nice cosy home, but no way am I prepared to pay approximately £50 for a storage bag! I have only ever once spent that on a designer handbag for myself!

So I set out to find a nice bag and I found this fab bag in the first shop I went to, and it was the first bag I spotted. In Primark and it was very, very expensive at £3!

I also needed somewhere to store my Design cards and refence cards. Again I refused to pay almost £20 for a storage folder (mainly because I remember seeing them in Hobbycraft at Christmas for £2.99 but little did I realise 6 months later I would be wanting one!)
I have a few mobile phone/MP3 player cases kicking around that I've bought from Poundland, and lo and behold, my cards in their cases and the refence cards fit perfectly with space for more! (I have 4 design cards so far)

 Everything fits inside here, with plenty of space for more! I have my 6" cutting mat, the slice, the power cord, spatula, in the zip compartment are the spare blades, blade tool and adjuster tool. Also is a pouch that holds all me design cards and refence cards.

 My pouch with design cards and reference cards.

 You can see my blade tool poking out the little pocket in this pouch, these are no longer in here, I moved them into the main bag.

My New Birthday Toy

Today is my Birthday and my fab Husband and three boys bought me a Pink Making Memories Slice elite, along with two extra design cards: Basic Shapes 2 and Remember This and a slice tool.

Cant wait to get playing with my new toy! Its currently on charge, while I watch a Movie and Drink Chocolate Mint flavour Baileys.

Along with my Slice, I was also given a Cardmakers sketchbook and a 12 x 12 glass cutting mat for use with my Slice.

Other gifts include Neckalaces, Bracelet and Earrings, Some lovley mini heart scented candles, a summery scarf and a pink Dragonfly Perfume Decanter bottle.

Zombie Dice. A huge hit with the boys and a fun addictive little game. You cant beat Zombies...They are actually going to be entering my crafting shortly..
