Season's Greetings and a video tutorial!

Good morning! And happy Wednesday! :) 

This morning I have another Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons design team post to share!

And I even have a video! :)

This super cute little elf is from the new Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Santa's Helpers cut files! Isn't she just the cutest?! I created the card base within Silhouette Studio. I just modified a label into a standard A2 sized card. The top layer was created with the internal offset feature and then I filled it with a pattern from the Christmas Brights Peppermint & Gingham collection.

 Then I sampled a couple different colors from the background paper and used those for the green elements of my cutting file. The snowflake and tag are both from my Silhouette library. 

Supplies:

Misc cardstock

Core'dinations cardstock

Echo Park Happy Days 6x6 paper stack

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Christmas Brights Peppermint & Gingham paper pack

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Santa's Helpers cutting files

Jaded Blossom Christmas Wishes

Happy Holidays

Can you believe it's December?! I can't! This year has just flown by, I've been super busy and I can't wait for it to end! :)

Since it's the 1st of December, the holiday is in full swing. There's only a few short weeks until Christmas (and my much needed vacation) and so I thought I'd share a holiday card this morning. 

I tried my hand at triple stamping with a background stamp, and it really didn't work the way I wanted it to. I guess it's probably because I wanted to emboss the snowflakes on this gorgeous Market Street background stamp. :) So I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to try and get it to work. It didn't work as perfectly as I had hoped, but it just makes it more original. :)

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink White cardstock

Misc cardstock from my stash

Market Street Stamps Flurries

My Creative TIme Stitched Curly Label die

My Creative Time All Around Christmas

How about one more birthday card. :)

Thank goodness it's almost Friday! And today I've got one more birthday card to share!

I made this card for one of my co-workers. :)

I know my blogging has been somewhat MIA lately...but I hope to be back soon!

Today, I have a super quick birthday card to share with you using some My Creative Time dies and a Gina K Designs stamp!

I made this birthday card for one of my best friends, and I just realized yesterday morning that I have yet to send it to her! Sorry Shawna! I swear the Thanksgiving holiday just snuck up on me and I totally spaced it out. I hope you get it soon!

See this SUPER perfect Stitched XL Label die?! It's a new die offered by Miss Emma over at My Creative Time! It fits perfectly inside the xl label die and is most definitely a must have! And these little flags are from a new die set from My Creative Time called Vintage Stitched Label dies.

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons :: Let's get stuffed!

Good morning and Happy Wednesday! Can you believe that Thanksgiving is tomorrow?! This year has just flown by for me. Before I know it, it'll be Christmas!

Today I'm sharing another Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons DT post! 

If you haven't already, you've got to check out all the super cute new cut files that Lisa has available! And don't forget the digi papers too!

For my project, I decided to use the Thanksgiving Feast cut files. With this latest release Lisa included a print and cut face if we wanted to use it. I have to say...using the print and cut face was PERFECT! Those little facial features can be a bugger if you have to cut them small enough for your image to go on a standard sized card. :)  

So I used the print and cut feature to print the face and the body, so that the skin tones would match. I also decided to print and cut the turkey. :) 

 The background shape is a label shape from the Silhouette Online store. I created a shadow by using the offset feature. The corner pieces are from an old Stampin' Up punch.

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink Black, White, and Pure Poppy cardstock

Core'dinations

American Craft white textured cardstock (print and cut)

My Mind's Eye Lavender 6x6 paper stack

Echo Park Happy Days 6x6 paper stack

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbon Thanksgiving Feast cut files
