No Lion, You're the Best!

Hello! I'm back to day with another Valentine's Day themed card I created for a Valentine Challenge over at Jaded Blossom!
You can find all the details HERE.

For today's project, I used the SVG Cutting Files Side Cut Card - Zig Zag as my card base. I did modify it just a bit in Silhouette Studio, so the Zig-Zag is actually on the front of my card. I used the offset feature and finally the knife tool to get the additional top layer. 

The lion is from the SVG Cutting Files Lion Heart Mane file.

I used the Jaded Blossom Fall Dies for my little wooden sign, and the Go Wild stamp set for the perfect sentiment! I absolutely LOVE how Jaded Blossom and SVG Cutting Files coordinate so perfectly together. :) And of course to make it into a Valentine card, I used the Simple Sayings Valentine Edition for the inside of my card!

PaperTrey Red cardstock

Pebbles Be Mine 6x6 paper stack

Echo Park Jungle Safari 6x6 paper stack

SVG Cutting Files Side Cut Card - Zig Zag

Good morning! Today I am sharing a card I made for a Valentine Swap for SVG Cutting Files! 

All of my cut files are from SVG Cutting Files. I used the Bracket Label Card Base for my card. (I created additional layers by using the offset feature.) And the SUPER cute little ninja is from the Ninja Valentines set.

Isn't he just the cutest!

Of course, Jaded Blossom had the perfect sentiment in the Pugs & Kisses stamp set!

 I also used the Jaded Blossom Simple Sayings Valentine Edition stamp set to stamp the inside of my card. 

That's all for today, but I'll be sharing a couple more Valentine projects this coming week so stay tuned! (Oh...and I hope my card swapper just LOVES her card!) Happy Valentine's Day!

Jaded Blossom Guest Designer :: Merry Christmas!!

Good Morning!!
Today I'm honored to be a guest designer for Jaded Blossom!

I want to give a special thanks to Candace and Michelle for such a fun opportunity! 

Now...I know Christmas is over, but I just have to share this super cute little Christmas treat bag! Luckily for all of us crafters, all the Jaded Blossom stamps and dies go together perfectly! 

I started with the Jaded Blossom Goody Bag Die and some PaperTrey Ink card stock to make sure my bag was nice and sturdy. 

The little Polar Bear Ice Cap is from SVG Cutting Files. Isn't he just the cutest! I used one of the tags from the Jaded Blossom Mini Tag Dies 2 set for my sentiment. And the "Merry Christmas" comes from the Jaded Blossom Merry and Bright stamp set. I love how quick and simple using this die set is. And it's soo super cute, that you don't really have to add anything to it!

I just want to share a quick little Thanksgiving project with you all, before I head out to spend the rest of the day with my family. :)

This little treat bag is from the SVG Cutting Files Deer Handled Bag file. I used Silhouette Studio software to create additional layers for each side of it. 

The super cute little Thanksgiving Turkey is actually from the SVG Cutting Files Pilgrim Turkey file. I just modified it slightly to include extra feathers instead of the pilgrim hat. 

My sentiment is from the Jaded Blossom Turkey Poop stamp set and is stamped on a tag from the Jaded Blossom Mini Tag Dies 2.

Pretty Cute Stamps :: Gift Giving Challenge

Good morning! It's so nice to be back in my craft room, and just in time to get some Christmas projects done! 

Today's card is one I am entering into the Pretty Cute Stamps Gift Giving Challenge. 

I created the card base in Silhouette Studio by welding some circles together. I used the offset feature to make the additional layers. This adorable little chickie is from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Cute Chicks cut file.

But of course, it's almost December, so I had to make this little chickie into a Santa chick! The hat is from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Santa Birdie. I just resized it to fit. The gifts are from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Birthday Critters cut file.

I used the Pretty Cute Stamps Dear Santa stamp set for my sentiment. I stamped it with Versamark Ink and embossed it with White embossing powder. I trimmed it up and used the WeR Memory Keepers 1/8" corner rounder to round the corners. To finish of my Santa hat, I used some Liquid Applique on it and then added some Pretty Pink Posh sequins to the card.

Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink Kraft cardstock
Echo Park Christmas Cheer 6x6 paper pad
Pretty Cute Stamps Dear Santa
Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Cute Chicks cut file

Gobble 'Til You Wobble!!

Hey there crafters...guess who?! I'm back on my blog today with a new project!

And of course, since Thanksgiving is just a week away, I figured I'd start back up with a card featuring this adorable little turkey from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.

I created the card base and oval layer from files in my Silhouette Library. 

The turkey is from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Turkey Lollipop Cut File. I just took off the base so I could only use the little turkey. :)

Both sentiments are from the Pretty Cute Stamps Turkey Time and I embossed both with WOW! Gold embossing powder.

Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink Kraft cardstock
Stampin' Up Whisper White cardstock
Doodle Bug Fall Friends 6x6 paper stack

Hi bloggers! Today I'm sharing a challenge project! I created this sweet little bunny treat to enter in the challenges over at SVG Cutting Files and Jaded Blossom. :)

I used a couple of different files to create my project. The base is from the Kawaii Sea Nugget Platform. The cute little bunny is from the Easter Peek Out Slider Set. I just modified the size of the grass and bunny in order for them to fit onto the nugget base. 

The sentiment is from the Jaded Blossom Easter Treats 2 stamp set.

Happy Birthday!

Good morning!

January is full of birthdays and I have yet another birthday card to share today!

 This adorable clown is from the Cute Little Circus file by Too Cute by Jessica. I decided to hide the face cuts so I could stamp one of these super cute little Peachy Keen Stamps faces on it instead. Then I used Copic markers to color it in. This has got to be one of the cutest little clowns ever! :)

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink Kraft cardstock

Another Happy Birthday!!

Good morning! Who's up for another birthday card?! Today is my mom's birthday!

Happy Birthday Mom! 

I hope your day is wonderful!

For the birthday card today, I wanted to add a little dimension with a simple frame. I created a 4.25 x 4.25 square card within Silhouette Studio and used the Peachy Keen SVG outline for the size of the chef in order to know how big to make the frame. 

I cut the frame out 4 times (3 times out of plain white card stock and once out of a white patterned card stock) and just glued them together. Easy Peasy!

The chef is from the January 2014 Stamp of the Month. I stamped both him and the cupcake on X-press It Blending Paper and colored in his face with Copic Markers. I wanted to paper piece the rest of the outfit and the cupcake. So I picked out some misc card stock and added some shadows with more Copic Markers. I added a birthday sentiment from Jaded Blossom's So Many Birthdays stamp set and my little heart on top is covered with some glossy accents!

Supplies:
Neenah Solar White card stock

Happy Birthday Braxton!!

Good morning bloggers! Today is my nephew Braxton's 4th birthday!

Happy Birthday Braxton!!

Braxton is a fan of Bumble the Yeti. And of course since he has a winter birthday, I figured I could totally pull off a winter themed birthday card. :)

 Today's card is another shaker card. I used the Lawn Fawn Large and Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables to create a frame to hold my sequins. I popped it up on two pieces of foam tape to give it enough room to shake. :) For the background, I used a new technique (for me) using a stencil and some embossing paste to create the snowfall.

 The Bumble Yeti is from Paper Piecings by Nikki. The snow banks were cut from the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders. The sequins are a mixture of both Neat & Tanged and Pretty Pink Posh, and my sentiment is from the Jaded Blossom So Many Birthdays stamp set.

Neenah Soloar White cardstock

You're Engaged!

Good morning! Today I have a special card to share. A good crafty friend of mine got engaged over the Christmas holiday. And of course, that's something to celebrate! 

Congrats Ronda and Jon! :)

 For the engagement card I used the Love Always kit from SVG Cuts. I'm glad they included an engagement type file in one of their kits...because it was exactly what I was looking for.

 The card is sized to the standard A2 size. I modified it to create a couple extra layers for both the front and inside of the card. I really wanted to use glitter paper for the ring, but it is usually pretty difficult to adhere to other layers. I used TomBow Mono Aqua Liquid Glue and it seemed to work okay. There were a few pieces that gave me a little trouble but I finally got them with a bit of extra glue. 

 I adhered some vellum to the front of the card with some Ranger Multi Medium Matte. Love how you can hardly tell I used it. :)

I stamped the sentiment on the inside using the Jaded Blossom The Perfect Match stamp set and added some glitter enamel stickers to finish it off.

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink white card stock

Bo Bunny Head Over Heels 6x6 paper stack

DCWV Foil Stack 6x6 paper stack

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!

Good morning...and Merry Christmas! 

It seems like forever ago since I posted any type of project on my blog! But this past week, while on vacation, I actually had a chance to make something. :)

 For this card I used the SVG Cutting Files Bracket Label Card Base and created it at the standard A2 size. 

 And that adorable little Santa Claus? He's also from SVG Cutting files, from the Merry Merry file. I love his "vintage" type look! 

For my Sentiment, I used the Jaded Blossom Christmas Wishes stamp set. The banner is simply hand cut. To finish off the card I used some super cute enamel dots!
