We Salute You PPPR Cutting Files

Borders 3 Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons Cutting File

Nutty, punny fun!

Hi, and happy Sunday! I hope you're not too tired from hopping around on the internet yesterday! And if you didn't hop yesterday, please consider hopping today. Start right here with yesterday's post and you'll be all set to go!

It's Ruth here and I've got an interactive card overflowing with Pretty Papers, Pretty Ribbons goodness! I used patterned papers as well as cut files for the images and the card itself!

Take a peak!

For the die cuts, I used:

Nuts About You Cutting Files

Tri-Fold Shutter Card Cutting Files

For the papers I used:

Pumpkin Spice Falling Leaves

Pumpkin Spice Pattern Pack 2

This design was so quick and easy using print and cut. I changed the colors for the images by using the eyedropper tool in Silhouette Studio and the colors from the patterned papers. The squirrel is a traditional die cut - I love all the dimension he (she) adds to the front!

If you'd like more info about my card, feel free to stop by my blog Paper and Musings.

I hope you'll join in the fall challenge this month. Click on the image for the challenge in the right sidebar or click on the Monthly Challenge tab at the top of the page for all the info.

Happy crafting!

Ruth

Happy Halloween

Hi, and Happy Sunday!

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

Today I would like to share a little Halloween décor. I had so much fun making this and the PPPR 3D Witch Hat Cutting File is so simple to put together. The cute little skeleton head is from PPPR Skeleton Couple Cutting Files.  I covered the skeleton head with Mod Podge and than added Martha Stewart glow in the dark glitter.  I used the top left flower from the PPPR Flower Assortment Cutting Files. After I glued the  layers of the flowers together I sprayed it with water and started crunching up each layer. After the flower dried I sprayed it with  Glimmer Mist. For the trim of the hat I took a smaller circle and welded it to the inside of hat base. I hope that makes sense. 

How I got the  skeleton head to stand up.

What I used:

3D Witch Hat Cutting Files

 Skeleton Couple Cutting Files

Flower Assortment Cutting Files

PBD "Guess Who" Stamp Set

Ranger Archival Black Ink

Clear Embossing

Glimmer Mist

Brads

Mod Podge

Martha Stewart glow in the dark glitter

Poppin' by to say Hi!

Hi, and Happy Thursday!

Gloria here from Gloria's Goofy Craft Spot. I hope everyone is doing well. Today I would like to share a card I made in honor of our PPPR "Fun With Puns" challenge going on now till October 4th. For more info and to link up your project for this challenge you can click HERE. 

For my car I used PPPR "Movie Popcorn Cutting Files", and to be honest while I was making this card I ended up having a bowl of popcorn (yummy). I chalked all the popcorn before gluing them together and outlined the pop corn box with a VersaMarker pen. I used the Tim Holtz paper distresser to distress the printed paper. I don't like the mess it makes but love the look it gives. The sentiment is from PBD "Kitchen Puns" stamp set and finish my card off I added some sequins.

What I used:

PPPR "Movie Popcorn Cutting Files

  PBD "Kitchen Puns" stamp set

 VersaMarker pen

Tim Holtz paper distresser

Chalk 

Sequins

Thank You for stopping by and hope your able to play along in the "Fun With Puns" challenge.

Some SWEET Halloween Decorations

Happy Saturday, everyone! I had a lot of fun creating some cute Halloween decorations the other day, and I just couldn't wait to share them with you here. I used the new Candy Borders Cutting Files (which are on SALE this weekend) to create these sweet little decor items. 

I used the print and cut feature of my Silhouette Cameo to create both of these items. This would make it really easy to create several of these to use for a party or as gifts. I printed out a candy corn border and simply wrapped it around this LED candle and secured the ends using a glue dot. I chose to use an LED candle so there wouldn't be a fire hazard. I added some pretty twine and a cute sentiment (a sneak peek of one of the new Pretty Cute Stamps sets that is coming out on Wednesday). Then, I added some little enamel dots I made a while ago by melting Perler beads in the oven (the candle dish just seemed to naked without something scattered around on it). I love how it turned out, and I'm thinking I may need to make something similar for every holiday!

I also decided to create some fun little garland to hang in my craft room. I just separated one of the candy corns from the border in my Silhouette Studio software, created an offset for it (since the black background of the border can't be broken up), mirrored it (so I could have a back to the image), and created a whole bunch of copies on my mat. Then, I printed and cut them all out, glued them together...back to back, punched some holes in them, and strung them on that same twine I used for the candle. This was super fast and easy....again, another decoration I'm going to have to tweak for other holidays. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Don't forget about our Fun With Puns Challenge that is going on right now.  You can find all of the details HERE.

Have an amazing weekend, everyone, and don't forget to come back tomorrow for some more PPPR inspiration. :)

I used a VersaMarker pen to do an outline around the bottles and did some inking around the green pieces of paper as well with Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn Distress ink.

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from "PBD Birthday Birthday stamp set" and the Papi (Dad) sentiment is from the PBD Mi Familia stamp set.

The super cute little lobster is from PPPR "Little Lobster Cutting Files" and I actually made the polaroid cut with my cameo (I'm a over thinker).

I totally love the way this card came out and it reminds me so much of my hubby who love's lobsters.
