August's swap

Masculine Card

July's swap

A Lady's birthday card.

Guitar card

Thanks to Melinda Ford who posted a svg file a while back for a guitar viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5084&p=24287&hilit=guitar#p24287

My nephew is learning guitar and it is his birthday soon. I took the svg file of Melinda's and added some layers to it in Inkscape and then cut them out using SCAL2 and the new layers feature.I cut it using 12 x 24 card which I had and it has made an awesome card.

My husband had some light aluminium rod which we moulded around the inside of the card to strengthen it and then I covered that with another cut of the card. The "card" part itself is just of the body of the guitar, not the neck part. And then finally I found some old cottons of my grandmothers which were silver and they made the strings.

I am really thrilled with this and that it stands on its own too. My nephew will be able to put it on a shelf or hang it on his wall.

and here are a couple of it closer up

May's swap

May's theme was Oriental. This was hard as I didn't have anything on the cartridges that was oriental. Then I remembered I had a lot of papers that I had purchased years ago that were sort of oriental and Walk in the Garden had an orchid which I felt was oriental. So that is what I ended up with. It was a really good swap with some amazing cards.

April's swap

This month's theme was one colour. The cards had to be in one colour but could be several shades of that colour. White was also acceptable as an extra.

I thought it was going to be easy but it was quite difficult to come up with something.

This was done with Walk in the Garden; Plantin and Accent Essentials.

March swap

March's swap theme was the letter C.

So I went for circles - original huh!

Here is my card using just cricut cartridges and a white paper doily in the background.
