Florentine Punch

Finally bought the ChristinaRe Florentine Punch I was looking at for awhile. I wasn't sure how often I would use it but I really like the design. Just tested it out on a paper torn from my Jetoy Diary.

Circle Cutter

I just bought a circle cutter today! Very exciting, I felt like I needed to make a card. It's very easy to use, basically like a protractor but instead of drawing circles, it cuts them out.

I wasn't sure what to make, I cut a circle in the middle and little circle right next to it to create a window. I stuck some transparent paper behind it which can be seen in the picture below. Due to my very limited stamps, I used a magazine-cut-out of a cat and stamped Happy Birthday. Used some blue ribbon as embellishment, made a little ribbon at the top left hand corner. Very simple card.

Hint: If you write a lot of words inside, it can be seen through the window which gives it a nice effect.

Just a quickie - sending you a smile card

Floral 21st card

Simple 21st card. Ribbon, flower embellishment, rhinestone, glitter numbers and butterfly swirl stamp with rainbow ink pad.

Butterfly Swirl - Congratulations card

First card made with my new Butterfly Swirl Stamp it Stamp! :D I think the red ribbon adds the finishing touch to it. I really need a guillotine, can't cut straight!!

Welcome to Blueberrymuffinss Handmade

I've decided to create this blog and dedicate all the crafty sections here. You can find my previous lifestyle blog on here. I've made a couple of cards and jewellery but nothing serious, just more of a hobby than anything. Hopefully I will be making more craft projects and will write about them and perhaps even some freebies. The next few posts are from my other blog - just because they're craft-related and what motivated me to create this blog.

Happy reading :)
