still playing

Well its a work in progress! Come on, I cant learn this machine in 24 hrs! So bite-size it has been.
Todays project again incorporated one of the designs from amazingpopup.com, and again was my starting place.

A beautiful Pop-out windmill!
So again a verse from Verses 4 Cards, was added using a pen in the Zingster.

Next up was the tough part.................What to put it in?
Now I know there's a lot of people out there who start a card with a backing paper or a topper..............me I start a card with whatever comes to hand first, which can be tricky sometimes!
So thinking cap on, I have a windmill, so flat/ canal side ?    Hmmn.....................Blackpool has a windmill, Norfolk has windmills, Holland has windmills.................
Okay I ended up somewhere in Norfolk, I hope!

The Image is from Cupcake Crafting's A Walk in the countryside, as is the backing paper, and ribbon, and bow. AND they were cut using the Print and Cut (PNC) feature in MTC on the Zing! See told you bite-size pieces!
Now for some reason the flowers look Black, they arent actually, they are the same Blue as the base card stock, which you can see though the pop-out. But they are Anna Marie designs Vellum, cut using Secret Garden Dies from Stampin' up!, embossed with mini dots by Darice, and the brads are by Papermania,

Right off to play some more..............................

Hugs, and thanks for stopping by, xxx

Ooh purdy!

Okay, well I seem to be coming to grips with it, just need to remember what to turn off and on all the time, as its so blooming quick!
I made this tonight, getting my settings right in my head, the hardest part. And Zingster didn't half zip through it!
So this is what I started with: A file from Amazingpopup.com, which I converted in MTC to a cut file. I aint doing it by hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Minus the verse of course.
Next came the verse, from Verses 4 Cards, and draw on using one of my bronze Silhouette Pens.
Okay so now I had the Great Wall of China sitting in my hands.................

Now I needed a card.................. Well if my mate Lucy is reading this, now she will be killing herself laughing! I knew I had some oriental themed stuff from My Craft  Studio. Could I find it? Of course not, in desperation and only kidding I asked my mate, as we were chatting over FB, if she could tell me where it was.............okay she knows me too well!
So we found the box it was in, then as I was being a bit impatient with typing, when I wanted to be crafting, we Skyped, and she watched most of the process as I was making the card front.

Paper and topper from MCS, ribbon from my stash, Leanne Creatif die for the frame and leaves, and some embellies again from my stash, The stamp and die are from Whimsy Stamps in USA.

right, off to bed I go, think I'll have to give MTC a miss tonight, as too tired, and I have the school run in the morning, night all xxx
