Hi, and Happy Thursday!

Gloria here from Gloria's Goofy Craft Spot. I hope everyone is doing well. 

Today I would like to share with you a masculine card I made for my daughters friend who turned 17. I was told he loves playing playstation so I used the game controller from the PPPR "Ultimate Gamer Cutting Files". I made it in blue because that is he's favorite color.  I inked it up with Tim Holtz  Blueprint Sketch distress ink and add a action wobble to it The Happy Birthday sentiment is from PCS "Wish Big" stamp set. I than stamped an arrow from PCS "Awesome Arrows" stamp set and the PCS "Wish Big" sentiment from  PCS "Wish Big" stamp set.

Don't forget to join us on Saturday for our next blog hop and challenge.

Bring on the Birthday Card!

Hi, Ruth here! It's birthday central in my crafting space in February and so I thought I'd share a fun card I created with Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files today!

This fun, celebration in paper is brought to you by the following files from the store:

Center Panel Step Card Cutting Files

Make a Wish Cutting Files

Simple Banner Shapes Cutting Files

I loved the colors that Lisa used in her images for these files and thought it'd be fun to create them with some inks and watercolor paper. I love the soft, but bright and fun look that came from it.

This project would be perfect for the Anything Goes Challenge going on right now! That's right, any creation featuring Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files qualifies! Be sure to check out yesterday's blog hop for lots of inspiration from the DT plus a freebie and a chance at some awesome blog candy!

Happy crafting!

Hawaiian Birthday Card

Hey, everyone! I realized that I forgot to share the birthday card I made for my daughter during my birthday party post last weekend. When I was getting ready for her birthday, I had tons to do to get ready for an upcoming vacation (which we took a little bit ago). So, I decided to create a simple print and cut card for her. I think it turned out really cute. :)

I used the Aloha Cutting Files and Luau Basic Patterns Digital Papers to create this little cutie. The sentiment is from Pink By Design's Aloha stamp set. The inside of the card says "means Happy Birthday". 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Come back tomorrow for more Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons inspiration. :)

PPPR Girly Blog Hop

Happy Saturday, everyone, and welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons (PPPR) Girly Blog Hop. My amazing DT and I are sharing all sorts of GIRLY projects with you that we created using PPPR Files. We also have a gift certificate up for grabs and a little freebie just for you guys! So enjoy all of the girliness today. 

For my projects, I created a couple of projects that aren't really related to each other but would be perfect to give to a couple of girlfriends. First, here's a fun little wine tag that I created....or BIG wine tag, I guess.

Isn't this a cute way to dress up a wine bottle to give to a friend? I got the tag from the Layered Tags 1 Cutting Files set and added the bottle from the Champagne Cutting Files (I just made it a bit skinnier so it would look more like a wine bottle) and a glass from the Happy Hour Cutting Files. The sentiment is from Pink by Design's Girls Just Want to Have Fun, and I added faces from Peachy Keen's In the Garden and Sweet & Innocent Face Assortments. A little ink, doodles, and rumple ribbon, and my tag was all done!

I also created this girly birthday card using the new Glam It Up Cutting Files set. The sentiment is from Pink by Design's Shoe Addict Stamp Set, and I added a little face from the Peachy Keen Laughy Taffy Face Assortment. A little ribbon and enamel dots finish off this simple little card. 

This hop also kicks off our new Girly Challenge. Link up your girl-themed project that uses PPPR files for a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons. You can link up and read all of the rules HERE:

Birthday Cupcake Shaker Card

Happy Cinco de Mayo, folks!!  Nicole here today and I have a birthday card to share with you that I made for my oldest daughter's birthday last week.  I decided to be fancy and make a shaker card too since it is for a special person :-)

I used the cupcake from the PPPR Birthday Critters Cutting files for my cupcake.  For more info on my card please visit my BLOG.  Have a great day, and be sure to come back tomorrow for more PPPR inspiration.

Make a Wish!

Good morning! Leanne here from CreatedbyLeanne! Today I would like to share with you a fun Birthday card I made using the Make a Wish cutting file set! 

Isn't this little girl blowing out the candles adorable?!! I just love how sweet she is! This whole cutting file is just too cute! Instead of stamping a sentiment, I used the Make a Wish title. The background is a stamp that I used randomly on my card stock. I used a white jelly roll pen to add a little details to the title and also to her outfit. I used a brown pen for the corners. 

Here is a picture of the cutting file set I used...

Thanks for stopping by! Have a awesome day! Hugs, Leanne

Party Animal!

Hello everyone! Brianna here from Happy Scrapper. I am here to share yet another birthday card with you all :) I am trying to get a stockpile made up.

Files Used:

Birthday Gator Cutting Files & Scattered Stars Card Cutting Files

I turned this sweet little gator into a digital stamp and then colored him up using my Spectrum Noirs. I think he turned out pretty cute. I added some faux stitching around all the stars by using my black gel roll pen and a steady hand.

I finished it up by adding some homemade enamel dots randomly on the card and bada-bing it's done.

Thank you all for stopping by :)

Brianna 

Keep Calm and Party On!

Good Morning! Jeanne here from Jeanne's Paper Crafts with a new design team project!

I made a birthday card (because I ALWAYS need birthday cards) using the Birthday Critters cut files. Aren't these little guys soooo adorable?! 

I used the elephant for my project. :)

The card base is just a shape I found in my Silhouette Library that I welded together. I created the rectangle shapes in Silhouette too.

The sentiment is from the Jaded Blossom Another Year Older stamp set. And I used the So Many Birthdays set on the inside of my card.

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink Kraft cardstock

Carta Bella Summer Lovin' 6x6 paper stack

Carta Bella So Noted 6x6 paper stack

Carta Bella True Friends 6x6 paper stack

Carta Bella Cool Summer 6x6 paper stack

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Birthday Critters

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a wonderful Sunday!

FUN Birthday Wishes!

Hello, everyone! Brianna here from Happy Scrapper. I have recently been selling my creations at my place of work and my customers have been requesting birthday cards, so for this card, that's what I focused on.

Well, I have one down in the books, now I just have a bunch more to create lol. I used the adorable Juggling Clown Cutting Files. You can find him in the $0.99 section of the store.

I used the print and cut feature in my Silhouette Studio Designer Edition to cut out this adorable little guy. I decided to add some shading/shadowing to his face using my IG1 Spectrum Noir marker. I wanted to add more dimension to him, so I added some homemade enamel dots, for his juggling balls (Thanks for the idea, Lisa) :) I also added some glossy accents to his nose and popped up and layered some elements on him.

I have been hoarding these big metal letters for a while now and thought this card would be perfect for them. My sentiment is from Scrappy Mom Stamps and is called Simple Sentiments. I finished it up by adding some ribbon, Lemonade Yellow Timeless Twine, and a button from my stash.

I hope you all enjoy my fun birthday card and thank you for stopping by!!
