My New Big Shot Plus

It's my birthday soon, so my husband has treated me to a Big Shot Plus to replace my faithful old Cuttlebug.

I had to try it out straight away - this Arboscello Tree die by Memory Box never cut very well on the Cuttlebug, but came out a treat on the Big Shot

 I also bought issue 42 of the Tattered Lace Magazine because I loved this Cherry Blossom free die. Expect to see lots more die cuts on future cards!!

Cats and Trees, all in Silhouette!

Just been playing with my new dies - I treated myself to the Memory Box Arboscello tree that I have been lusting after for ages along with some curious cats from Poppy Stamps to make these silhouette cards. Three similar but different cards - hopefully suitable for any cat lover.

They have been layered onto a textured paper and finished off with craftwork card sentiments. 

I experimented with both black and white card and quite like both effects!

Arboscello Tree

A change from my usual style - just a plain white die cut tree layered on kraft, green & black paper with a piece of scrap ribbon and Craftwork card sentiment - simples!
