On your birthday...

Good morning bloggers! Today's project is a special one because it's my hubby's birthday today! When I came across this "genie" image over at Some Odd Girl, I just had to use it for his birthday card. :)

The card base is the Vintage Label Card cut file you can find over at SVG Cutting Files. Ann, the owner/designer has a ton of great card bases available on her website here. I used the offset feature to create the extra background layer.

I absolutely LOVE the print and cut feature of the Silhouette Cameo. I printed the digital stamp onto some Xpress-It Blending Card with my Epson Workforce printer. Then I used my Copic Markers to color in the image. 

For my sentiment, I used the Aladdin font I found online. Again, I used the print and cut feature to create both the sentiment on the front of the card, and on the inside.

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink Black cardstock

Echo Park We Are Family 6x6 paper stack

SVG Cutting Files Vintage Label Card Base

Some Odd Girl Genie Gwen digital stamp

Copic Markers

Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen

Enamel Dots

Happy, Happy Birthday Shawn! And remember...today...your wish is my command! :)

Keep Calm and Build On

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

I just LOVE the new(er) Master Builder cut files, so I figured it was about time to cut some of them out. :)

For the base of my card I used the offset feature to create a shadow for the image. Then I duplicated it, and welded the two together. The background paper is a Lego design that I purchased many years ago at a Scrapbook Expo in Utah. Isn't it perfect?!

For my sentiment, I used the Speech Bubbles cut files and then the print and cut feature. (I found the Lego font online and installed it.)

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink White cardstock

Paper Wizard Lego Paper

Misc cardstock

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Master Builder cut file

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Speech Bubbles cut file

Valentine,

Good morning!

I've actually got a few new Valentine projects to share this week! 

Today's project is a special one that I made for my husband for Valentine's Day. I apologize in advance if it offends anyone, but I know he'll get a kick out of it. :)

The base of my card is a standard 5 x 5 inch square card. I used my Silhouette Studio and Cameo to print the "Valentine" on the background layer. The font is a freebie one that I installed called Hole-Hearted.

These super cute Fred and Wilma SVG cuts were available for free as part of our Couples Blog Hop (sponsored by SVG Cutting Files and Jaded Blossom). Sorry, they are no longer available. The bed is a file that I have downloaded from the Silhouette Store.

And for the inside of my card...I chose to print this sentiment! I got the idea from GiGi over at The Cricut Bug who was also in the Couples Blog Hop with me. :)

Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink Kraft cardstock
My Mind's Eye Oliver 6x6 paper stack
Stampin' Up Blush Blossom cardstock
Core'dinations
SVG Cutting Files Blog Hop Freebie File (no longer available)
Hole-Hearted Font
My Mind's Eye Enamel Elements

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

Epson Photo Presentation Paper

Pink By Design Pirate

Pink By Design Pirate Life

Enamel Dots

Zutter Distrezz-it-all

Jaded Blossom :: Feel Better Soon!

Good morning! Today I've got a super cute 3-D treat project up on my blog!

I have a friends' husband that just had some major surgery, so I wanted to make him something to get him feeling back to his old self. :) I came across this adorable little 3-D Doctor's Bag over at SVG Cutting Files, and knew it would be perfect to go with some Jaded Blossom stamps!

For the patterned paper, I found a digital scrapbooking bundle over at Sweet Shoppe Designs called Bumps & Bruises. I used my Silhouette Studio Designer Edition to fill the cut file with several patterned papers in the kit. Then cut everything out onto Epson Matte Presentation paper with my Epson Workforce printer. I've found that this matte presentation paper has such fantastic, vivid colors when printing digital scrapbook papers, that it's the paper I generally use. (I do like to print and cut on Bazzill textured cardstock, but I don't do it as often, because the colors aren't the same.)

I used some miscellaneous circle punches to create a tag for my sentiment from the Get Well Soon stamp set and attached it with some black hemp twine. And what's a treat without some Hershey kisses and Jaded Blossom Candies stamps?!

Supplies:
Epson Matte Presentation Paper
Jaded Blossom Friendly Candies
Jaded Blossom Get Well Soon
SVG Cutting Files 3-D Doctors Bag
hemp twine
misc circle punches
enamel dots

I hope you've enjoyed my project today, thanks for stopping by!
