Black Vinyl Stickers

I've had these black vinyl floral silhouette stickers kicking around in my stash for ages, so it was about time to find a use for them!

These are a couple of cards that I am sending to ex-craftrakkers over on craftbubble.

They also helped to use up some pink and black scraps of paper too!

3 Tier Birthday Cake

I made this card with the cake layer stamps that are in the Docrafts goodie bag along with the yummy Papermania lemon sorbet papers

There is a layer of stickles glitter glue to highlight the edges and candle flames

I finished it off with a large silk flower and am going to enter into the Inspirational Card Sketches challenge who have a Bunny Zoe Crafts gift certificate up for grabs.

I'm glad to see several members of Craftrak are meeting up on CraftBubble to resurrect the swaps as we miss the site since it went down

Craftrak has disappeared !

I made this card and sent it via Craftrak last week but the site has now crashed with this message

The Craftrak website has suffered from a fatal technical problem and is closed for the foreseeable future.

We do not know if we will ever be able to fully restore the Craftrak System.

We apologize for this and thank you for using Craftrak.

What a shame - I loved sending off cards around the world and getting little surprises back in return. I really hope they can fix it - especially as I have just bought 2 new packs of cards!

I just couldn't resist it!

I know this was on my wish list for Santa but Christmas is still a long way off any I can't wait that long - it's pay day today and I just happened (!) to be passing a craft shop and this Marianne Creatable die of a bird on a branch leapt into the basket.

So, of course, I just had to try it out straight away and made this CRAFTRAK card to send on to Crissie in Gloucestershire as a RAK

There is a new challenge site starting up and Crafty Hazelnut has some fab christmas papers as a candy to entice you over

I've been Craftraking Again!

Just made a few more cards to exchange at the Craftrak website, I've just sent my first overseas card to Portugal and I've had some fab cards in exchange! I love the surprise element of not knowing what you will get in return and its great to see cards that you make get passed on to lots of different people - one of mine has now travelled around to 7 different places!!

Another CRAFTRAK Exchange Card

I'm really enjoying the CRAFTRAK card exchange - I love being able to see how many miles your card is travelling on a map and the fun of receiving some lovely cards from new friends.This is my latest card that will go off on its travels with one of my favourite cat stamps. Check it out at www.craftrak.com

Anyone Else Craftrakking??

Has anyone else joined the Craftrak Card Exchange? You buy A7 cards with a special code on them and send thems as RAKs (Random Acts of Kindness) to others on www.craftrak.com and you can track their progress online, they can then be forwarded on to others and end up taking a trip all over the place. I registered for free and before I had even purchased a pack of cards (£4.99 for 20) had been send 2 cards. There is even a jam swap where you add an embellishment to a card as it travels around. I'm just about to register this little Hedgie card and send him off on his roadtrip
