Cards I have made Today

I have had a card making day today. I have difficulty cutting out these days so I invested in a Happy Cut and have been buying cutting dies like they are going out of fashion.

Today I have to say thank you to Lexie for the inspiration for these cards. I have used label die No 1 to cut the base card and the first layer

The images come from different MCS cd's of which like many other people I have many.

Card 1

This image is from MCS Fab Glam 50's. I sized to fit inside a Spellbinder die then added a plain blue area from MCS behind it so that the die cut edge of the picture looks like a frame.

The little handbag is an X Cut die that I have had for a long time.

Card 2

A second blue card so I didn't waste the second half of the first layer. This image is from MCS Sassy Chic and the frame was don as in Card one.

Card 3

I have used the same shape for this card as I tend to do a few the same and then change styles. This uses an image from MCS Floral Masterpieces. Again the plain colour was added and a Spellbinder die used to cut it this time using the round option. I used a smaller die to mount the flowers on. I purchased these from Wild Orchid Crafts after seeing them used by Lexie.

Card 4

This is a second yellow one again to use up the second half of the patterned layer. The image is again from MCS Fab Glam 50's and the bag is from the X Cut die.

My next task is to use up the die cuts that I have cut out as I have loads of them now. I had to cut them all out to see what they looked like. They are i a not so small box waiting to be used.
