What's New Wednesday #14

Hey, everyone!  I have a few new sets to share with you today.  

I thought these would be perfect for those fall cards or layouts.  I know I have some photos that would go perfectly with these!
 

 I also started creating Christmas files...it's getting to be that time of year!
 

I hope you'll check out these sets in the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Graphics store.  Thanks so much for stopping by today! :)

Autumn Wishes

Happy Monday!  It's my day to post over at Pink by Design, and I have a fun little card to show you today.  It's totally Cameo-free, which is pretty rare for me.  Here it is:



This card measures 4" square.  I got the cute little tree from Pink by Design's May 2011 Stamp of the Month: Nature Walk.  I added some different colored jewels to it to make it look more autumn-y.  Then, I used my Cuttlebug to cut a label from the Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 18.  I created a fun background pattern by using some of the other stamps on the Nature Walk set.  I embossed the background with my Cuttlebug and my Sizzix Fleur Tile embossing folder.  The label is from Pink by Design's Everyday Banners Stamp Set, and the sentiment is from Pink by Design's Bountiful Blessings Stamp Set.  I added some ink and some crinkle ribbon, and my sweet little card was all done!  I hope you like it!

Don't forget about the Ink it Pink Challenge that is going on right now.  This little card would be perfect for it... the theme this time is Fall or Halloween.  We hope you'll link up your Pink by Design project. :)


Thanks so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!

Guest Designer ~ Ana Maria Sepulveda


TGIF!  My Guest Designer for today is Ana Maria Sepulveda from Shorty Creations.  She created this adorable little card using the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Sea Life Cutting Files.



Isn't it so cute?  I love that sentiment she used!  Be sure to check out all of the details for this card on Ana Maria's blog.  Take some time to look around...she has such AWESOME projects!  Oh, and please leave her a little love...we all love bloggy comments! :)

Melisa's Crafty Creations Blog Hop

Hey, everyone!  Welcome to Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and Melisa's Crafty Creations Blog Hop.  We're helping Melisa celebrate her blogaversary with this fun hop that's full of lots of fall/Halloween projects.  If you came from Kathy's blog, you are in the right place!  If you just happened to stumble upon this post and would like to start from the beginning, head on over to Melisa's blog.

I decided to make a Halloween project using the print and cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo.  Here it is:


This easel card measures 5.75" square when closed.  I printed out the moon/haunted house, ghost, pumpkins and wagon, and grass and then cut them using the print and cut feature in Silhouette Studio.  Then I cut the label, stamped my sentiment, added some ribbon and some jewels, and this spooky little card was all done.


Here are the products I used to create my card:
This card is perfect for the current Ink it Pink Challenge: Halloween, so I'll be linking it up there. :)

Cameo Creations Challenge ~ 3D Challenge

YAY!  It's time for another Cameo Creations Challenge!  The challenge this time is to create a 3D project with your Silhouette machine.  Here's what I created:


This fun little treat box would be great as a birthday treat or a party favor box.  I got the box from the Silhouette Online Store.  It came with the little scalloped circle.  I added a cupcake from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Birthday Panda Digital Clip Art set that I printed and cut out with my Cameo.  I cut a couple so I could hand cut parts of the cupcake to pop up with foam tape...just for a little added dimension.  I added a sentiment from Pink by Design's Take the Cake Stamp Set, which I stamped on an banner from the Pink by Design Everyday Banner Stamp Set.  My little box would look a little naked without some ribbon, so I added a beautiful bow that I made with 3 Girl JAM's Cherry Lipstick Crinkle Ribbon and the 3GJ Bow Maker.  I love the pop of color it adds. :)

Now, it's your turn! Head on over to Cameo Creations to see what the other Design Team members created. Then, link up your own Silhouette-created 3D project.  You could win a $10 Gift Certificate to Kelleigh Rattzlaff Designs.


Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I'll be back tomorrow for Melisa's Crafty Creations Blog Hop. I hope to see you there! :)


It's Design Team Day and a WINNER!!!

Hey, everyone!  Welcome to another Design Team Day here at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.  My super talented Design Team members have worked their magic to share some AWESOME Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Graphics inspiration with you.  Before I show you their projects, I'd love to tell you a little about mine.  Here it is:


This fabulous little kitty came from the PPPR Halloween Critters Cutting Files Set.  I filled her in with a pattern from the PPPR Love Bug Circles and Spots Digital Paper Pack, then I used Silhouette Studio's print and cut feature to cut her out.  I used the "release compound path" function to take off her facial features so I could add this adorable Critter Face from Peachy Keen Stamps.  I also added a crown from the Silhouette Online Store, and some i-Rock rhinestones, and my prissy little kitty was all done.

The card base also came from the Silhouette Online Store.  I filled in the pieces with papers from the Sunny Skies Damask and Sunny Skies Mod Circles & Chevrons Digital Paper Packs.  Then I added the little banner from the PPPR Oktoberfest Cutting Files Set, which I embossed with my Cuttlebug Polkadot embossing folder.  I added a sentiment from Pink by Design's Bracketful Stamp Set and some more rhinestones, and my FAB{U}LOUS card was all done!

I'm entering my little card in Peachy Keen's Anything Goes Challenge. :)

Now, here are the AMAZING projects from my wonderful DT members. Please stop by their blogs to find out all of the details about their projects and show them some bloggy love.  We all LOVE comments, right? :)
