This year you will be seeing a plethora of big birthday cards, I have a lot of friends and family celebrating big birthdays and the eclipse and shaped cards will be my go to. Unless of course I discover a totally new technique lol.
This isn’t the first big birthday card I needed but it is the first one I made lol. I used this image on a shaped birthday card last year so it seemed fitting that I try it with the eclipse technique.
I always make a huge card for my mum’s birthday and this is no exception, it’s an 8x8 and this image from Altenew was the perfect size. I also made the sentiment on my cricut and cut the white layer with vinyl lol, see I said I was obsessed
I apologise for the tumble weeds on my blog for the last few weeks, I always struggle to get back into crafting after a break and this time it was even harder than ever and it even made me question whether I wanted to continue making cards, of course a few days in my room has made that thought disappear but I hope that continues.
I apologise for the lack of cards and posts and rather than have tumbleweed on my blog whilst I get back to crafting after my Christmas hiatus I thought I would show a few of the items I made as gifts. I absolutely love my cricut maker and since I discovered vinyl there has been no stopping me, on my last visit to Florida I made quite a few purchases in dollar tree as there blanks are excellent especially for the price and all of these are from there and the svgs are from design bundles
I must apologise for the photos lately, I am not able to upload from my camera and that means using my phone and I haven’t worked out how to get rid of the shadows, another thing to learn for 2024 lol.
I needed a quick card and these images from Cc Designs make that so easy, again I think I need to use them all and I have most of them lol.
After making the girl version I had to make the boy one didn’t I lol. I was hoping to make a few crafty resolutions but I know if I decide to not spend all I will do is spend lol, so I’m not going to make any except I need to play more and maybe use some of the huge piles of stuff I have lol.
I think I might have to make all the variations of these and even buy some more, see that’s why it wasn’t a resolution lol.
I have been enjoying using my cricut more and more for crafting and I have also joined a electronic cutting machine group where we meet once a month and all make things, at one of these meetings someone was making a boy version of this and I knew I needed to go buy them. I also bought the girl versions and made this for my Spider-Man obsessed cousin. I have also made the Batman version but I didn’t take a photo.
