Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Hope you're having fun getting ready for those trick-or-treaters later today. 

Just posting one last Halloween card before another Halloween has come and gone. 

I had a few pieces of that watercolor orange paper left I talked about in my previous post. So I matted it and added it to this card. 

I used the same cute mummy that I used on the other cards.


here's a list of goodies I used today...

Jaded Blossom Flag Dies

My Creative Time Too Cute to Spook Stamps and dies

BugBites Magic Spells stamps

Have a spooky day!

Class of 2016

Happy Friday. 

Wow, it is going to be a HOT weekend. 

Hope you all have plans to stay cool. 

I'm sharing a quick graduation card I did using the a card design and inspiration from a friendly blogger, Candace over at Jaded Blossom. 

You can see her version here and my previous 4th of July card here. 

So, here is my graduation card today using this same card layout. I love this design.

The tag and sentiment are done using the JB Flag Die and Stamp set called The Graduate

The graduate itself is printed and cut using the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons file, The Graduates. 

I attached the graduate to the card with a wobble. 

Hope you have a crafty and cool day!

Getting Ready for the 4th of July!

I've been working on some 4th of July cards this week. I am using one of my favorite images from SVG Cutting Files, Chibi Statue of Liberty. 

I used traditional red, white, and blue papers which are a bit non-traditional 

colors for the Statue of Liberty but I think it works. 

Here are two card versions using this cut file.

All papers are printed using Echo Park Sweet Liberty digital papers.

The sentiment is from My Creative Time My Little Firecracker

This card I used digital papers once again but this time they were from Echo Parks 4th of July paper  I also used the Jaded Blossom Flag Die for the banner strips.

Have a crafty day!! 

Zip into Adventure!

Hey there Everyone!  There is a new challenge at SVG Cutting Files, this month we have a "Summer Lovin'" theme.  Just remember, the project must include something from SVG Cutting Files. Projects should be linked on the blog or Facebook Galleria Group by June 14. As always, there is a great prize up for grabs.

I I recently was in New Zealand and one of my favorite things to do anywhere I travel to is to zip trek. It's great to zip through the trees or mountains in the Fresh summer air.

So I decided to try a penny slider card. Yes, I have never made one before. There are plenty of videos online showing how to make it.

You can find the base card in the SVG Cutting files store already to go with the slot for the penny to slide in. You just need a couple pennies!

For my card I used one of the bases and added some fun outdoor papers. 

I then attached by zip guy to the pennies and now he slides back and forth on the card. 

The base of the card is a basic box card. I then used parts from the Flower Box Girl file to make the different layers. Lots and Lots of flowers!

Here's a list of what I used on today's project......

SVG Cutting Files Zip Line

A Berrylicious tutorial!

Happy Monday!! 

Hope you all had a great weekend enjoying some fantastic summer weather. It's my design day over at Jaded Blossom and with that I have a treat project with a tutorial using the Jaded Blossom Lollipop die. 

In this project, the treat becomes part of the card itself. All you need is some neutral colored paper and the bright colors of the packets do the rest. Of course, a couple fruity embellishments are a must!

Let me show you how I made them.

First, cut out the base shape using the lollipop die. You can see in the photo, your paper doesn't need to be as long as the die for this project.

Now we will need to cut a second time with the die in order to add the scallop edge on the bottom edge as well.

You will need to flip over your existing die cut so when you cut the second time the faux stitching will be on the right side when folded. 

Place the die cut on the die where you want to cut it. It is important to line up the faux stitches on the die cut with the metal die. This helps secure the paper in the die a bit. 

When you put it through your die cutting machine to cut this second time, you only need to push it through far enough to cut the scallop edge.

You now have the modified shorter lollipop die cut with a scallop edge on both ends.

I folded the bottom flap up at the first score line from the bottom for the drink packet to fit perfectly.

I used glue dots and bakers twine to hold the flap in place. i finished each card with some fun fruity die cuts and sentiments. 

Here is the rest of the cool stuff I used to put this treat together...

JB Candy Charms and Banners dies

JB Scallop Circles dies

JD Stitched Circle dies

JB Berrylicious

JB Flag Die

JB Baking Dies

SVG Cutting Kawaii Cherries

SVG Cutting Kawaii Peach

Have a crafty day!!

For the Captain of my Heart!

Happy Monday!!

With all the fun Valentines stuff out, how can you not get in the spirit.
Today I'm sharing a project I did for my design day over at Jaded Blossom.

This little treat box measures about 3.5x4.25. Just big enough to add a variety of goodies.

My pirate dude has been in my big stash of SVG files for quite some time. I really need to find a way to organize them to know what I have. It's kind of like digital photos, they hibernate in your computer rarely to be seen.
Perhaps that will be my goal project this year and get them organized so I know what I have and start using them. If anyone has any ideas of things you have seen or have tested, let me know!

Wow- got way off track!

With my box put together and my pirate pieced, I just needed a perfect sentiment. Well, I found that in the Pirate Booty Stamp set form Jaded Blossom. 

Complete list of supplies for this project:

Treat box file - Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons

Pirate - Lettering Delights

Jaded Blossom Flag Die 

Jaded Blossom Pirate Booty Stamps

Peachy Keen Boy Mate face stamps

I wish you all a crafty day!
