Some of us on the hop have TWO projects to share today! We all know how much Michelle LOVES cats...hahaha so as a joke, we asked Ann of SVG Cutting Files to create some awesome Pusheen Cats! :)

OKAY, and now for my second project!

PPPR DT :: Birthday Fishes

Guess what? It's Wednesday once again! And that means I get to share another Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons design team post with you!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card made with the Fishy Friends cutting files. :)

I created the base for this A2 sized card within Silhouette Studio. The background layers are from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Layered Labels 1 cutting files. I added a shadow layer to each one, by using the offset feature. I also modified the Label cut file to make it fit onto my card base.

This sentiment is from the new Fish On stamp set from Jaded Blossom's new release.

Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink Kraft cardstock
Carta Bella Beack Boardwalk 6x6 paper stack
Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Layered Labels 1 cutting files

So today's hop is ALL ABOUT HIM!

My project showcases one of the Superheroes cut files from Lisa over at Pretty Paper Graphics. I just LOVE these files! And she has a whole slew of great superhero characters! 

The super cute little chevrons on my card are from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Borders 3 cutting files.

The inside of my card reads "Have a SMASHING Good Day!" from the Jaded Blossom Super Hero stamp set. But...I forgot to take the pic before I wrote in it. :( No worries, though. It's really there!

Eat, Sleep, Play Football!

Good morning! Today I'm back with another Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons design team post!

And this card was actually made for a very special 11 year old...my youngest son Josh! Today is his 11th birthday and we had a great day! We had to take a little road trip, but we got to celebrate with grandma and grandpa, his aunt, uncle and cousins! :)

 The card base is a file that I created with a shape from my Silhouette Library.

 The perfect little football and helmet are a couple of files from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons 99 cent files. :)

 I added the NY Giants logo on the helmet by tracing a JPEG file and then adding a simple cut line to it.
