Spooky!

Hello Everyone, Brianna here with you all for today's post :D Well, the weather is finally changing here in MN and Fall is right around the corner. As much as I am not ready for what comes after fall, I am ready for my favorite holiday, Halloween!
So today, I will be sharing a spooky cute card with you all.
PPPR File used:
Little Witches Cutting Files
I layered a couple different images from this set using my Silhouette studio software. I did a print and cut using an offset to leave a white boarder around my image. I added some Stickles to my pumpkins(orange peel) and (yellow) to my wand. I put some glossy accents on the cats eyes to make them pop out more as well.
I paper pieced the background using different size strips of paper from the new DCWV, "EEK a Boo" Paper stack.
Enamel Dots: Doodlebug Designs- Halloween Assortment
Embossing folder
American Crafts- Thickers
 
I Hope you all enjoy and sorry if you think it's to soon for Halloween :D
I am a little obsessed!!
Brianna

Your Love Turns Me to JELLY!

Happy Saturday, everyone! I have an extra SWEET card to share with you today. :)


I used the Peanut Butter & Jelly Cutting Files as the focus of this card. All I had to do is tilt that little jelly jar in a bit and add some hearts from the Cupid Cutting Files set, and that little couple looks like they're in LOVE! Awwww! I stamped a fun little sentiment from the Pretty Cute Stamps Sea Life Sentiments set on a shape from the Sentiment Spots 1 Cutting Files set. Isn't that a fun sentiment for these little guys? I added some twine and some enamel dots, and my sweet and yummy little card was all done. Super easy (especially since the print-and-cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo ROCKS)!

I know I've reminded you guys a MILLION times, it seems like, but I just know there are so many of you talented crafters out there that I want you all to apply! I'm having a Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Design Team Call right now. All you have to do is show me a few of your favorite projects and tell me a little bit about yourself. You can find out all of the details and guidelines HERE.


Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to come back tomorrow for more PPPR goodies! :)

Pretty Fabric Flowers

Happy Tuesday Crafty Friends!
It's Kathy, from Kathy and Kids, here to share with you a pretty fabric flower using one of the "Flower Assortment Cutting Files" flowers.

Supplies:
PPPR "Flower Assortment Cutting File", I used the petal layers from "Flower 6"
thick cardstock
fabric scraps
fusible interfacing
fabric marker (disappears with water)
fabric scissors
pinking shears
button
twine/ribbon
I used my Cameo to cut the petal layers at about 4" and 3" across.  I also cut a small circle at about 1 1/4" diameter.  I cut them from heavy cardstock so they would hold up to me using them multiple times.

Make your layers of fabric and interfacing and then trace the petals using a fabric marker.


Sew along the marker lines.


Cut out each piece just outside the stitching.


Use a damp cloth to wet the marker lines and they will disappear :)

Layer them together and top off with a cute button and tie with twine or ribbon.

You can use just about any flower shape and size, and even add more layers.

Thanks for stopping by and have fun making flowers!

A Boot Full of Flowers

Hello fabulous people! Leah Schaeffer here today sharing a card! 
 I created a card with a mix of regular card stock die cutting and then also utilizing the print and cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo. I adore that you can mix these concepts! 

 I started with designing my background. I layered a couple shades of green for the bushes/grass, added my blue background and clouds (then did print and cut). I then sized my boot and flowers. The layers on the boot are print and cut, as is one layer of the flower (top layer with yellow center) and the back was cut from regular paper.  I also cut a teeny tiny little tag!!! 


 Oh of my favorite thing is using the print and cut feature on textured paper. I use card stock from Walmart and trim to fit my printer. I think it looks a lot better this way then something 
printed on smooth paper =)


 A nice thick coat of Glossy Accents on the "rubber" boot ends up an easy and striking detail!


Here are the files used today!

Well thank you so much for coming by on this happy, happy Monday! Ha!
Have a great one!
