Cute Cake Card

I may be bragging a bit, but I think this is a super cute card!

Hi! It's Ruth here today from Paper and Musings and I had a lot of fun creating this card with the shaped cake card from the Birthday Panda Cutting Files set.

I added some embossing, some coloring, some inking, bling and pearls and voila a fun card for my niece!

Here's a look at all the fun images in this set.

I hope you have as much fun making your loved ones feel special for their birthdays as I did!

Have a great day!

Ruth

Hi, its Tina, from Tina Time, sharing cute, cute files from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons today!

I love this Sweet Snowman… and I love how with the change of paper " He" became a "She!"  Hahahaha

I made this adorable little Snowman!  I just love how pretty the colors are on her.  I love PINK!!  I embossed the cuts of the scarf and hat and placed her on a Topper also found at PPPR.  I used the A2 Cards and sized it down to fit on top of a cellophane bag! 

Inside the bag I put a pair of Fluffy Socks and tied a pretty ribbon around it!  They will make darling Office gifts!

PPPR Deck the Halls Blog Hop

YAY! It's Saturday! That means that it's time for the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Deck the Halls Entertaining Blog Hop. My fabulous Design Team and I are sharing all sorts of Christmas themed projects that are perfect for decorating for the holidays. We have a prize up for grabs and a little freebie just for you guys. We'll also be kicking off our next challenge. So, be sure to check out each and every project along the way today...you don't want to miss a THING!

For my project, I created some cute little ornaments using the hop freebie. I love these little kiddos wearing Christmas costumes.

In order to hang these sweeties on the tree, I welded an open circle to the top of each shape in my Silhouette Studio program. These sweet little ornaments would also work as cute little gift tags...you could write a little message on the back.

Hello friends!  Sarah here to say Happy Wednesday!  I hope today finds you all well and having a great day.  I have a cute little project to share with you all today.  I kinda love how this little cutie turned out and can definitely be altered to use for gift giving this holiday season--but I just wasn't feel red so pulled out this card stock instead.  I added a little tag that says "Enjoy" definitely perfect for placing an enjoyable treat inside.

Holiday Purse Gift Bag

Hello PPPR Friends!

  

It's Kathy, from Kathy and Kids, and today I am sharing with you a cute treat bag using the "Purse Gift Bag" cutting file.



 

I picked up these small lotions and hand sanitizers during Black Friday shopping for my co-workers.  This "Purse Gift Bag" makes the perfect packaging!

Happy Holiday Crafting and Thanks for stopping by!

Naughty? or Nice?

 Your neighbor elf, Leah Schaeffer, here today to share a layout with you all!  I am so glad to be here today! Literally dancing around in anticipation to share my holiday projects with  you all this month!   This project is pretty much a paper only project but using lots of glitter paper and glitter glue helps the page fully come alive! As I often do in my layouts, if any of you are starting to notice, I love doing oversized elements on a page. It really allows Lisa's incredible cutting files to come alive and all those amazing details to be shown! This Santa on it's own is so special! Imagine just Santa in the middle of a holiday card with a great pattern paper behind him, it's all you would need! 

 I began with the Starburst Shapes Cutting Files background and then added my elements. Remember that when you are seeing a cutting file, think that you can often take the pieces apart to use separately. Just as I pulled the stack of gifts out of Santa's hands in the Jolly St. Nick Cutting Files (used one Santa and the gifts from the other Santa option). You'll see what I mean with the cutting file image at the end of the post.

 For all you alcohol marker fans, don't forget that you can add detail to your die cuts using your marker. I added some grey shading to the white on Santa with my markers. As well as using a thin line of glitter to outline the white trim of his clothing.

Okay! This project is file heavy…here's what I used!
