Cuttlebug Be Inspired #13 - Use your Favourite Folder


I'm just loving this Cuttlebug Challenge blog and this weeks challenge is to use your favourite embossing folder. Now the DT provide fantastic creations every week so pop over for a look and why not join in the fun. Now jings was my first reaction when I saw this weeks theme. This has to be my favourite folder although I have to admit I don't use as much as some of the others but this is my all time favourite I love the old feel to this folder yet it also has a modern twist to it too. I was inspired by this card I saw by the wonderful Debby makes the most stunning cards go see you will be there for hours. So I decided to have a go at making the flowers. the leaves were cut from Storybook and the circles from George cartridges. Well I'm away to play with my Cricut need to make a Cinderella commission card. I've just realised this is my first creation in my new craft area woohoo.

*Wanted to ask you something. As many of you already know I make commission cards and most of them are non stamped as in not cute :( I've set up a wee poll on the side to find out A. Do you want to see these cards? and B. Would you rather they were shown here or a separate blog. I have set it up so you can vote on both, thanks really looking forward to seeing what you think*

**Edited to say - The votes were all saying yes andto show them on this blog so I have removed the poll**

Thanks for stopping by and I will see you soon, toodles.

  • Cricut - Geaorge, Storybook

I see that not only do we share the same first name but the same favourite folder too! Lovely card as well -- it's fascinating to see how different cards are with the same folder.
