I made this using Junkitz papers and they cut beautifully. I haven't added fold lines at the top of the letters as I didn't want the dotted lines to show. Just use an embossing tool to score these bits yourself.

Hi,

I've been asked to do a nautical theme card for a sailing friend. The frame could also be used for scrapbooking. I used the waste birds to decorate the backing.

Inside is one of my pop-up designs.

Hope you like.

Hi,

Saw the pictures of the tie and came up with this idea. If you stuck to the card with removable adhesive, it would double up as a bookmark. The stud is a jewelled brad.

Hope someone can use it.

Hi,

Weather here atrocious. We have a river in the garden and a waterfall coming over each terrace and down the steps. Thunder, lightning and flickering power.

Should be in the garden working, but no chance. Decided to work on my website, got p****d off, because it won't do what I want.

So decided to play instead. Here's the result.

Pretty Basic, but quite effective. As usual it's got one of my pop-ups inside.

Hope it's useful.

Here's a card I made for fathers day but could be used for birthdays as well.
I made it in black and white and looked very effective (big head swells more).
I made this from scratch and it cuts well, I have done it so it cuts twice on the card but not on the individual letters or backing rectangle.
hope this makes sense.

Enjoy

Hi everyone

I have decided to repost the greenhouse and include both photos and the templates.

I created the card for my Stepdad for Father's Day and he loved it.

I have set it out the templates so you can create an A5 card. You will see there are two templates - one called 'windows only' this used to cut the window aperatures only, onto the greeting card itself. The other template called 'windows and frame' is to be cut from a coloured piece of card (you can see on the card in my gallery I have used green card).

The acetate is then shaped and glued to the back of the frame (coloured card), this is then sandwiched between the frame and the greeting card.

I hope that makes sense Any problems let me know!

I got the original idea from the Papercraft Inspirations magazine, however their free downloadable template wouldn't cut properly on my Robo so I decided to redraw it myself. So here it is!

Cheers

Janine

I have adapted two of the templates from this site to turn it into one template.

If you want the Liverpool badge to stay on the front of the card make the blue and black cutlines dashed but I left them all full and stuck the shield to the inside of the card behind the hole on the front of the card - does that make sense:wacko:

Please be gentle, I've only been playing with Rupert my Robo for a week and this is my first upload here. I don't know how to add a thumbnail but I have added the jpg of my completed card as well as the GSD file.

Not sure if this is for the cardmakers or the scrapbookers challenge, could be used for both I suppose. This used to be my dads favourite pastime though. Not a huge amount of skill involved, but its fun :P

I wanna have a go at a greenhouse or shed too though :D greed me.

My card for May is one for Grandpa's retirement. The template file is just for the elements with which I decorated the card. I cuttlebugged a layer and trimmed with peel-offs.

I think perhaps it needs a pair of slippers or a newspaper or a pile of books as well.

Nothing too complicated, but may be useful for someone. Fits a DL card.

I've done a variation on the Fathers Day Card I posted yesterday. As I have 4 men I have to do cards for I wanted a couple of them to be a little different.

Hope you like.

A bit of a cartoony theme going on here......I've made this card to give to my Dad on Father's Day but I thought it may be quite versatile as a general 'blokey' file.

The picture has been adapted from one I saw in an old colouring book, traced in KNK Studio and then converted to GSD. It's a bit fiddly as it is a piecing file, but this is by no means a boring process. I put acetate behind the windows and mounted the topper on the card using silicone glue so that it just stands away slightly, giving the effect of glass.

Thanks to Jo (Joggy148) who helped me with the file conversion as my one last remaining brain-cell had failed to retain the knowledge! I've included the wording file as well for anyone who may have a use for it.

I redid the conversion for the gsd. This one looks better. I remembered that
I didn't follow one step when I converted.
Hope this is better

I made these for a Christmas shoppe at an elementary school. Dad's
are hard to make gifts for. I cut these out of vinyl and made them into
ornaments and refrigerator magnets. I think the little ones will like them.
I know they can be used for other things too.

The file includes the words and the insert. The font is Cafe Rojo.

Hope someone can use it.
