flowers with butterfly for patients

I decided to make my patients something so I used the flowers created in AE and made a butterfly from sentimentals. the butterfly has the cutout parts of the top under the wing so I didn't waste any paper. Someone asked how these were made. I cut 3 flowers the larger one 2 inches the next 1.5 inches the last 1 inch then put them together and placed them on a flower the 2 inch size that had leaves attached, I curled the petals the same way you would curl curling ribbon and placed a brad or gem in the center. The butterflys I cut from sentimentals but you could use any butterfly and then I bent the wings up and glue lined it to the flower. You could put this on a card but I just gave them as is.

Elegant Pies

I used the Elegant cakes cart so I had to call them elegant pies! I have been playing with the cricut cake with pastry and we had -guess what? pies for tea. I think they would have been better if I had cooked them in the oven but we were already late so I used the piemaker. It hadn'r been used for a while so they stuck but they did taste good! if you look close you can see letters and flowers.

Cake Machine

Well having the cricut cake ment that I had to try it. So I played around with some pastry sheets. This is a great way to craft if you make a mistake with paper you have to throw it away but with pastry and fondant all you have to do is need it up and roll it out again. Hopefully I will acually finish something but I will need to make it for someone else as after making it I won't want to eat it. Now I had to use the lappy to update the cricut cake as the desktop had too many things in usb's and the program didn't like it, but it went fine on the lappy. I used crisco to glue the pastry sheet down and med speed and pressure. when I put it to low pressure it didn't cut right through the pastry. hence 'best' cut twice didn't turn out so well. As its now midnight I just put it all in a bag and sucked all the air out but forgot the bag machine is quite powerful so it sucked everything downflat so I will need to start over again but that's not a problem. The cuts are from elegant cakes done with CDS. I am well pleased with my first try at using the cc.

Summer in Paris

Got the cart Summer in Paris and had to try the 3d stuff. Light card and very quick but it should get better. It will look nice in the village I am planning. Ok I have added the other stuff I did on the summer in Paris cart. Not sure what I will do with this yet.

Note to me:- I am not happy about the cuts as they are a bit scrappy looking. The poodle turned out the best when I used a lighter weight paper for the top and altered the speed to low and the cut depth to 3 and the pressure to med. The background cuts well as it is solid but the lacy things need a bit more care and attention

The diaper cake for Judy. the fairy godmothers are from HEA the arch is an unwound coathanger so I could attach the fairies. 3 layers of diapers rolled and ribboned. the babies are from EDPD's and I have used them to crawl round the ribbon. Placed on a large cryatal plate round the base is the fairies wishes for my granddaughter and daughter "Make all your wishes come true" from doodletype. the fairies are layers on the charm base so I could hang them and I have layered both sides of the fairies so they can be viewed from both sides by flipping the layers. Once done I needed sparkle so I used glitter and added glitter to the fairies. The pics don't show it as well as it looked but she loved it and so did I.
