Hi there, oh my gosh I have internet for one day, I'm still on holliday and are in Norway for the momenth. I  miss my Silhouette Cameo a lot , but in the camping car it is not possible to have, so it is back home in Thailand just waiting for me  to coming back and play with it. This is how I decided to buy a Silhouette Cameo . I started to make cards in january 2014, and bought all equipments that I have to have.

Hi there, today is my granddaughter Mollys 2'nd birthday, Oh she is groving quick, I made a hinge card for her. I have cut out from white cardstock 20x10,5cm for the front and 21x10,5cm for the back. Score the top on 1 cm on the back pice, fold it and put some doublesided tape on the folded part. Cut a smaller panel of colored cardstock and a even smaller piece of white cardstock, make 2 set of this, one for inside of the card and one for the front. Married the 2 pieces together. Decorate the front panel as you pleased and glue it on the white front panel. Decorate the inside and remember to make it flat, and glue this on the white back pice. Put the front and the back together and you have a hinge card. Happy Creating:) Anki J
