although the sun has just come out.
Can i just say nobody has offended me in any way over my butterfly colony on my last card HAHA
Hazel thought i was upset as i hadn't posted a card. Well hear it is made from left over bit's
I had a busy day yesterday,We went shopping,& had to go round my friend's
Her Cut N Boss arrived,but she asked if i would pop round as she couldn't get the plates to go through. So i tried with no luck. So she phoned Crafters Companion,they told her to put her hands inside to push the two buttons up & the motor started up,so they said there was nothing wrong with
the machine & you have to push plates in hard still never took the plates .Then phoned C&C & told them it wasn't working, they said to send it back so they can repair it as they had no more stock My friend told them she wanted a full refund as wasn't going to have it repaired,& for them to collect it.
.
Back to my card not sure why the middle went to the top but hay ho.
Started with A5 scalloped edge card blank layered up white pearl card,green leftover card. Had a white Cordoba already cut added the demo cut fold tuck die cuts on top of each other added green dazzler to middle a Itty Bitty bow & a small butterfly on the corner,added 3 pearl flat back pearls to left corner. The middle i stamped the sentiment cut out with the Stockholm die,cut the outer edge of same die in green glued together.added small butterfly. Job done
Thank you for popping in today your all welcome, it would be lovely if you could leave me a comment,please be honest if you like it that's great but if not that's ok too.
Please stay safe if your going out today wrap up warm,get them liberty bodices on ladies.
Hug's Lynda xx
This is beautiful Lynda and all made from left over's - wow.
ReplyDeleteHuh, Crafters Companion at it again I see Im afraid Sara has had the taste of money and enjoys how it tastes and wants as much as she can eat !! What an awful shame, I bet your friend went from being so excited to being fuming ! Crafters Companion have a lot to answer to. Hope Tina E doesn't have problems, Id hate to be in the persons shoes if she has to complain again about a broken e- bosser !
Have a good day.

Hi Steph'
Deleteyes i might do another card with left over bit's i think i will start a bit box like Hazel as mine are all shoved in a draw lol
Yes my friend was fuming with Crafters companion,& create & craft saying they would repair it blooming nerve she told them so too asked for refund & said she wouldn't be buying anything else from them.

Glad you liked my bitty bit card thank you Steph Hugs Lynda xx
Ladies i think we should have a bit's & bob's
challenge what do you think.xx
Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you weren't upset and I certainly wasn't either! Now we've got that out of the way - today's card is lovely! I love that shade of green and also your little bow and butterfly! As usual too , lovely inside!
Oops above comment went before I was finished! Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteI think I am going to try to make a card with some left overs. Makes you think outside the box a little.
Have a good weekend!
Love Myra xxx
Hi Myra,
Deletewell it was fun trying to put this together,so i have decided to put all my leftovers in a box & do another one, when i have a mental block ha ha doesn't take much.
We had a flurry of white stuff this morning
take care love Lynda xx
HI Myra,
DeleteI wasn't upset i can take it on the chin lol
thanks for your lovely word's.
it was a bit of fun just using the odd bit's
love Lynda xx
Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous card and I love the nip-tuck thingy hihi I think i got one somewhere,will have to look later. Nice colours and I like your sentence,so true! I have tried too to use up some scraps too and I found on-line something called starburst cards that look easy enough to make for a egg head like me:-) anyhow because I'm foreign I never used inches and they don't make much sense to me so I did it my way and it actually came out alright after some fine trimming hihi My ruler has inches and they are fine until things like 1/8,
3/4 and 5/8 coming up then I'm totally lost. I do will try again for it is a good way to use up all the bits or make a beautiful card like yours.
Son Christian and Rick went to 9 different dealers last sunday and I think they gone down to 2 choices ,not many small cars he could fit in comfortably but don't want him really to have a bigger car and they are pricier...
Hope Terry got on well at the doc.? are you sleeping any better ? Signing off now ,you take care now Warm Hugs to you all Maria x
Hi Maria,
DeleteThank you so much for your kind words,
Maria I'm the same with centimetres & grams so it's not only you. I hope your Christian finds a car he likes,is he a big lad then Maria,
My son & daughter are both over 6 ft tall.
Terry got on ok & has got his appointment for the camera thing next week.
Take care love Lynda xx
Hi Lynda Lovely card, like the cut and tuck. I can't believe u made this from odds and ends, I've got loads and never seem to use them I just cut more .
ReplyDeleteStay warm Hugs Theresa (TOB) xx
Thank you Theresa for you lovely comment
DeleteYes the Córdoba die cut had a mark in the middle so the cut fold tuck covered it up,green card just a left over bit,of course the butterfly & bow had some already cut out job done.
Take care Theresa & good luck for Monday love Lynda xx
Hi Lynda
ReplyDeleteA really beautiful card today, I made a cut tuck and fold card for s friend, and when she saw it she said "how did you do that". I made the biggest blooper ever and got my F's and T's around the wrong way. I did see a look off shock on her face but took it as how clever. Paul took me aside and said do you realize what you have just said, I said yes, she asked me how I made it and I told her that I Cut F--- & Told it. I was mortified. How the hell do you go back and say I'd got it wrong without saying it again. What a big WHOOPS that was, and my kids won't let me forget it.
Anyway Lynda, I'm like you. I like lovely comments about my cards, but can also handle not so good comments.
Oh thank you Tina for your lovely words.
ReplyDeleteYou did did make me laugh with the cut fold tuck thing,it's an easy mistake.
We can't all be the same & all like the same things can we.

I said I'd be back to see what you had posted and it has taken me till now, got wee grandson staying (6) then Gillian showed me what they were thinking for the night invites so had to make one up to see how it would work. Then the phone went, next Andrew wanted his supper so he could go to bed. You see what can be done with those bit box bits, this is gorgeous, I love making these bit box cards, you have seen I won't even waste that 51/4 - 4 piece of card left from every A3 sheet of card. Well today I completed the cutting of the striplets for the main invites so that's all the bits cut for them. Now I have between 50-70 more striplets to cut for the evening ones, Andrew is saying they should re look at whom they are thinking of inviting to the evening part, so that's why I have said between those numbers, I think the striplet will be needing to retire by the end of all this. Off now to put my feet up. So glad I didn't upset you. Hazel xx
ReplyDeleteHi Hazel,
DeleteSorry I'm late in thanking you,my blooming I pad keeps freezing up for no apparent reason.
My you did have a busy day yesterday,are you sick of striplets,can you still use it I thought you said it cracked,or have you bought another one. Dose your Xcut machine cut them in one parse,what do you think of it,.
Good luck with them.
Have a lovely weekend Hug's Lynda xx
Lynda my iPad dies the same, drives me mad sometimes. Yes I bought a replacement die, I just couldn't risk cutting myself with it, it works ok but will keep it as a back up. Two runs through I would say to make sure it's sll cut. Saying that my new one goes through my G.C beautifully, yet the old one wouldn't cut great. Hazel x
DeleteHi Hazel,
Deletestrange how IPads freeze it's so annoying as usually happen's when almost finished typing,then have to do it all again.
That's a pain having to buy a new striplet but good if you only have to pass it through once,that save you some time. So how many have you got to cut all together Hazel.
Hug's Lynda xx
Oops nearly missed this one Lynda we have had a visitor unexpectedly so that put me back for the day, but it was lovely to see him. Can you believe this his Mum and Dad will be having their 65th wedding anniversary in April! When it was their Diamond wedding I made the cake, yes you have guessed it, I am making one for this year too! They are such a lovely old couple it will be a pleasure, also I will get to make them a card.
ReplyDeleteYour card today is wonderfully put together and all from your bit box really well done. Your colours are perfect, I love them and as always love your butterfly which is quite simply perfect. I have said it before and will again I do so like how you fashion the inside of your cards.
Take care in this cold weather and have a lovely weekend.
With love
Margaret xx
Me again if your friend has problems getting her money back there is always the Office of Fair Trading she could go to and they don't charge as the machine is 'not fit for the purpose for which it was bought' they should take her case on but no way should she accept a repair. Has she thought of contacting Craftwell the company in the USA to see their response, surely they will not want bad publicity for their new machine.
DeleteHope this may help Lynda
Have a lovely weekend
Margaret xx
Hello Margaret,
DeleteThank you again for your kind words. Ooo you have so many talents. The Cake your making sounds wonderful can you send me a picture when you made it & the card of course. I just had a thought wow that hurt lol if you would like I can always show your cards on my blog like Sandra dose on her's,but only if you want too.
My friend is getting a refund from C & C as she got it from them,they did say they would do a repair,she wasn't having any of that & told them straight no way. Both customer services where very abrupt on the phone especially Crafters companion she kept insisting it was working.
How's my adopted grandson Ben did you tell him he has a long distance Nannie.😘
A bit nutty with it.
Thank you for all the info for my friend it's very thoughtful of you my friend.
WithLove & Hug's Lynda xxxx
Delighted to hear your friend will be getting a refund I should think so too. I really do think there is a lesson to be learnt here don't you? I am not very keen on Crafters Companion they think they are so wonderful no matter what and quite frankly I really don't think they are. I know of several people that say they will say anything to sell a product! As for C & C I just don't buy from them, I have had so much trouble with them in the past and their postage rates are outrageous to say the least. As for some of the presenters the least said the better I think. Sorry Lynda rant over.
DeleteAre you seeing your little prince charming this weekend, if so please give him a hug from me.
With love and hugs
Margaret xx
Thank you again Margaret,
DeleteUnfortunately no Harry cuddle 's they have gone to Weymouth too friend's for the weekend,so hopefully next weekend.
With much love Lynda xx
Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteI love that little butterfly, it's so pretty!
Good to see you using your older dies again, they make a great focal piece!
I would never go back to create and cerastes for customer service, I would have rang crafters companion and have them collect it as the distributor ! C&C are rubbish at customer service!
I do hope she gets it sorted so in, how bloody frustrating!
£200 in a machine that broke before use!
Unacceptable! Go get them Lynda!
Love and hugs,
Sandra xxxxx
Hi Sandra,
DeleteThank you for your kind words.
Yes my friend was fuming,with Crafters companion,her attitude was disgusting & C &C too say they would repair it. They have lost a very good customer.i wonder how many machines they sent out that were faulty.
Have a lovely weekend.
Love & Hug's Lynda xxxx
Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteLove your Card and your Beautiful Butterfly and the wonderful Bow, you really make great use of different Coloured Card I just Love it.
As with your Friends e-Bosser I have one it's the worst thing I've Purchashed I thought it would help over the Christmas Period having so many Cards to make!
Crafters Companion make out they Cut Dies straight away They Don't! The Plates often Spit back out and the Cutting Plate Bends!
I've now returned to using my faithful Grand Calibur.
I think Crafters Companion and Sarah have gone too far.
Good Customer Service is Paramount.
Take Great Care
Love and Hugs
From Sam xxx
Hi Sam
ReplyDeletethank you so much your very kind.
When my friend phoned Crafters companion the lady on customer service was very abrupt, The plates on the Cut n boss wouldn't even go in the machine,she said she wasn't pushing them in hard enough,any way she is going to write a letter of complaint to head office.
Have a good weekend Sam hope your well.
Love & Hug's Lynda xx
Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteGosh I'm so late commenting on your gorgeous card...and made with leftovers....that's amazing and I love the teal colours.

Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Love Sheila xx
Hello Shila good morning
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I know this month has gone so fast it's frightening. It's very windy here blowing a gail all night,we had a little flurry of snow yesterday but all gone I'm glad to say.
Are you seeing Nikki today give her my love if you do Sheila. No Harry cuddles this weekend they have gone to Weymouth Dorset for a couple of days visiting friends. I'v just put another card on my blog.
Take care if you go out & keep warm.
