Last Day of SCHOOL!!

Good morning! Today is my design team day over at the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog!

I cannot believe that the end of the school year is almost here. My kiddos are getting pretty anxious, but they still have another 9 days. And yes, the countdown's been on for the past couple of months. :)

So for today's project I decided to put a little twist on the School Titles cut files. I used the line tool to cross off the "first" word and then replaced it with "last," because let's face it, the last day of school is just as great as the first day!

The paper background layer is from the same cut file set.

Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink black cardstock
Echo Park Paper & Glue 6x6 paper stack
Echo Park So Happy Together 6x6 paper stack
Echo Park For the Record 2 6x6 paper stack

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons :: s[ick]?

Good morning! I've got a special post to share with you today...I'm back as a designer for the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Design Team! It's been a while and I'm ready to get back into the swing of things!

And with that, onto my project for today!

I used the Layered Labels 3 cut files to create the base for my card. The additional background layers were created with the offset feature.

These super cute cuts are from the Get Well, Doctor Visit and Happy Pills cutting files and I used an actual Kleenex Tissue in the tissue box! To create the little medicine cup, I cut the layers out of some PaperTrey Ink Clear cardstock.

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink Kraft cardstock

Happy Birthday Braxton!

Good morning! Today happens to be my nephew's 3rd birthday and I've got a special card to share!

But first...

Happy Birthday Braxton! 

I hope your day is fantastic!!

I decided to go with a print and cut for this card, because well, I don't have an SVG file for this little guy! I downloaded the image off of the internet from here. Then I imported it into my Silhouette Studio and traced it to create a cut line. The map was also downloaded form the internet here and printed the same way, I just didn't have to trace the image, instead I used the original lines. 

 To create the sentiment, I downloaded the Creaky Frank font and added it to the blank treasure map. I printed everything out onto Epson Photo Presentation paper with my Epson Workforce printer. I added the AHOY! from the Pink By Design Pirate Life stamp set. I used my Zutter Distrezz-it-all on the edges of the map and white background layer to give it a little bit more dimension.

Supplies:

Papertrey Ink kraft cardstock

Happy Fright Night!

Today is Friday. Today is the 13th. Happy Friday the 13th!

I've got a super cute card to share with you this morning using the Movie Monsters files from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons!

I have to admit, I've never watched the Jason/Friday the 13th movies and I even had to ask my hubby which little guy was associated with Friday the 13th! I'm sure in the movie Jason doesn't look this cute...but just look at this little guy!

 The background shape is from my Silhouette Studio Library. I added some drippy blood to my little guy by using the Martha Stewart Drippy Goo border punch and some glossy accents.

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink Vintage Cream cardstock

Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler cardstock

My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting 6x6 paper stack

PPPR DT :: Hey Man!

Guess what? It's time for me to share another Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons design team post! And today, I get to share my hubby's birthday card, since it's his birthday! Happy Birthday Shawn! I just know he'll have a fabulous day. ;)

I used the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Tool Time cutting files to create this super fun card. 

 The card base was created with the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Layered Labels 1 files. I modified the file to create an A2 sized card. I also edited the points at the top of the shape to create the flat top, which made my card easy to score.

 I decided that I only wanted the face to be on my tool box, so I deleted the face from the hammer and level. For the wrench, I used the PNG file and then traced it to create the cut lines.

These pattern papers are from the Pretty paper, Pretty Ribbons Man, Oh Man digital paper collection. I printed them on my Epson Workforce printer.

 And...the inside. :)

PaperTrey Ink Kraft cardstock

Hope you all have a fabulous day!

You did it!!

Good morning! Today, I've got a special card to share with you! My sister entered and finished her very first Half Marathon (Utah Valley Marathon) this past Saturday! Way to go Brandi! You did it!!

 For her card, I used the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Hats Off cutting files to modify the medal to look (somewhat) like the medal she got on Saturday. All I did was take the medal, change the size of it, enlarge the circle, and then weld the larger circle to the neck piece. I found the logo online, opened up the JPEG in Silhouette Studio and used the trace feature to create a compound path and cut the logo from the circle.

 The shoes are from the Running Shoe freebie file from SVG Cuts.

 The card base is the Ornate Card from SVG Cutting Files. I added a second base layer by using the offset feature in Silhouette Studio.
