Card - Hello Cricut and Cuttlebug

Here are a couple of cards I made for a cards swap between a few of us Aussie cricuteers recently.

This is what I used to make the cards.

• Cuttlebug textile texture embossing folder for the card blank
  
• Cuttlebug embossing folders - swiss dots and mesh for the flower centres
  
• Cricut machine
• Walk in My Garden Cartridge for stems
• Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge for blackout feature flowers
• Storybook Cartridge for the Tag
  
• Hero Arts Butterflies Stamp Set butterfly is hand cut after stamping
  
• Papercraft Stamps for the Hello stamp
• Polkadot Ribbon
• Versamagic Petunia Ink
  
• Pearlescent Dimensional Paint for the centre of the 'O' in the Hello sentiment
• Ice Stickles for sparkle on the butterflies
• Mini Foam Dots
  

I made miniature versions of the flower I used on the front to decorate the inside of the cards too. They add a lovely touch when the card is standing open.

I ended up making a few more of these to keep in my box of cards. I've left the tag blank so I can add a suitable sentiment later on.

Shower Cap Tutorial - Instructions Updated

I am going through some of my older posts and have updated my Shower cap tutorial with loads of step by step photos and improved the instructions. It should make the instructions much clearer now. It's something I meant to do a while back but just completely forgot all about it.

If you make a showercap using my instructions I would love to see a photo. Just post a link to it in a comment below or on the tutorial post.

Cuttlebug Die and Embossing Folders Storage

Now that my buttons seem to be organized and under control I am moving onto sorting and organizing other things. I am more likely to use things that are easily accessible and quick to find and if it looks good, even better!

Amongst some old boxes I found this gorgeous green box shaped like blades of grass. I picked it up for free from a store several years ago that was throwing it away. I kept it knowing that someday I would find a use for it. LOL

Look how it matches my cuttlebug perfectly! I glued on some cute wooden flowers and then made some labelled divider tags like the ones found here.

This box stores all of my small 2" and 3" Cuttlebug dies, small embossing folders and Sizzix Sizzlits with my large embossing folders right at the back. Now I just need to find something to match for storing my Cuttlebug alphabet dies and Sizzix Bigz and Originals dies!
