I just love the newest princess set from Lettering Delights. My card measures 4"x 4". I cut my princess at 3.5" tall. 

I filled in her face so that I could stamp it with a peachie face.

Kiss Me 3-D Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!

Today is 3-d Wednesday on the My Creative Time blog. I didn't play along, but I do have a fun 3-D Valentine's Day treat.

This file is from Lettering Delights. I thought it would be fun to make it and fill it with M&M's. Yum! How fun would it be to walk in and find this sitting on your desk at work? What a fun surprise! 

I sized the pig part at 11.3"x 3.2" and the round base is 3.7". It comes with a face, but you know me... I'm a peachie girl.. so I had to pull out my peachie's. How cute is that face?!?

Welcome Baby

Happy Friday!

Whew! So glad that it is Friday! 
I made a card for a friend who is about to have a baby. It's a girl and I am so excited for them. Her nursery is yellow and pink, so I tried to stay with those colors.

I made the card base in Make-the-Cut with basic shapes. I am sharing it below. It measures 5.5" wide x 6.8" tall. The elephant was sized at 2" tall. I replaced the heart in the svg file with the medium stitched heart layering die. It end up being about the right size and I like the stitched effect.

Happy Thursday!

I have a real quick post for you today. I made this shaped card for a friend.

I sized the cupcake at 3.8" tall. Then I created a  .1425 shadow layer around it (the white layer) then I created a shadow layer around that layer and then took two of them and welded them together at the top. The finished card base measures 3.8" x 8.5". I replaced the heart on top of the cupcake with the medium heart from the Stitched Heart Layering dies.

Happy Tuesday!

I have a quick shaped card for you today.

 Shaped cards are relatively simple to make. While working in Make-the-Cut, SCAL, or Silhouette Studio you take the shape or shapes that you want to use, create a shadow layer around them, and then weld two of the shadow layers together to make the base of your card.  

There is a video tutorial below, showing how.

Today is Technique Tuesday on the MCT blog! 

Head on over for some fun techniques!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Dia de los Muertos

Happy Thursday!

Today is "Dia de los Muertos" or "Day of the Dead"  it is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. It is particularly celebrated in Mexico, where it is a national holiday. The celebration takes place on November 1, in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day (November 2). Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts. They also leave possessions of the deceased.

Although, I do not celebrate Dia de los Muertos, I have friends who do. I thought it would be fun to create Day of the Dead cards for them. Both cards were made with the Silhouette's print and cut feature.

The base of this card is from the Cricut Wild Card Cartridge. The yellow polka dot paper, the skull, and the banner are all graphic files from Lettering Delights.

The base of this card is a top note shape that I found online and converted into a svg and then into a card. The diamond paper, cat, and banner are all graphic files from Lettering Delights. I just love the white stitching on the black, don't you?

Card base: Cricut, Wild Card Cartridge

Skull & Banner Graphics: Lettering Delights, Sugar Skull Graphic set 

Digital paper: Lettering Delights, Sugar Skull Paper 

Card stock: DCWV and Recollection's

Crinkle Ribbon: Etsy

Card base: Top note shape welded together to make a card.

Cat & Banner Graphics: Lettering Delights, Sugar Skull Graphic set 

Digital paper: Lettering Delights, Curiouser and Curiouser 

Card stock: Recollection's

Although I love how both these cards turned out, I am still not a huge fan of the "print and cut" feature. It's a huge time saver and really easy to do, but I really like choosing the colors of the cuts and piecing the pieces together. I *heart* paper to much to be just a "print and cut" girl. :) I will say, that digital papers rock! Ah! One more thing to put on my "wish list".

Guess what!?!

Tomorrow is Friday! WooHoo!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Happy Halloweenie!

Happy Tuesday!

So  I have to say right off that I am not in love with this card. I love the ribbon, love the witch, love the sentiment, but I just had the worst time trying to create a card. In-fact I was told not to even post it, but I wanted to show you that I have "bad card days" too. :) 

The frame behind the witch measures 3 3/4" x 3 3/4". The witch is 3" tall.

 I actually learned this glitter technique from Joy at Obsessed with Scrapbooking. I made a tutorial video showing how to do it.

Let me know if you have any questions!

So... back to the card.

I found this ribbon at Michael's, I love it.

Happliy Ever After!

Happy Friday! 

Can you believe that it is already August 1st!?!  Where the heck has the summer gone? I had so much that I wanted to accomplish and sadly, I don't think even a third of my list has been completed. Oh well... there is always going to be something to do, right?

 

 I made this card for a friend of mine. She saw my Super Hero card and asked if I could make her one, just minus the super hero vibe. :)

 I love how it turned out with the plaid paper. I also added the small heart to balance out the sentiment. I really like how this card turned out, my friend loved it too.

 For this card I used the following items:

Papers: PaperTrey Ink and Echo Park's Happy Day's Collection

 Sentiment stamp: My Creative Time's, You had me at Chocolate
  The underware SVG: Lettering Delights Chillin Collection. 

This set can only be purchased during the "check out" process. Put something into your cart and then do the checkout process and LD will give you the option to purchase this set.  You can delete whatever is in your cart and just purchase this set. (Irritating, I know.)

With all the "super hero" movie's coming out, we thought it would be fun to have a hop dedicated to showing some fun "super hero" crafty ideas.

My first project was made with Jaded Blossom's newest stamp set called, Super Hero.

 I thought it would be fun to make a kids card. I am also trying to make more "boy" themed cards. These seem to be harder to make for some reason.

 For this card I used the following items:

Papers: PaperTrey Ink, Core'dinations, and BoBunny's Blast Off Collection

 Sentiment stamp: Jaded Blossom's, Super Hero Stamp Set
  Super Bear SVG: Jonathan's Bears SVG Collection

 Top Note shape SVG: Cheryl's Cute Bugs SVG Kit

   White Pen: Sakura Gelly Roll, Med.

My second card is one of my most favorite cards, ever. 

When I saw this SVG I knew exactly what I want to make with it. I love how it turned out. Hehehe!

 

 For this card I used the following items:

Papers: PaperTrey Ink and Core'dinations

 Sentiment stamp: My Creative Time's, You're My Best Buddy
  The underware SVG: Lettering Delights Chillin Collection. 

This set can only be purchased during the "check out" process. Put something into your cart and then do the checkout process and LD will give you the option to purchase this set.  You can delete whatever is in your cart and just purchase this set. (Irritating, I know.)
