Thank You Bus

Happy Wednesday Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons fans!  It's Michelle from Purple Monkey Moments, and I am here to share a project that I created with some amazing PPPR files. 

The school year just ended today for my munchkins.  So, I created some thank you gifts for the people who teach them and keep them safe.  These gift card holders are for their bus drivers.  I love how cute they turned out :)

The bus, is from Back 2 School cutting files, and you can find it HERE.  It is perfect for the drivers who keep my babes safe in all kinds of weather!

The gift card holder is from Basic Gift Card Holder 1 cutting files.  You can find it HERE.  This is such a convenient file to have!  I love personalizing gift card holders!

Did you know that you can find MANY of Lisa's designs in the Silhouette Store??  You can find full sets, and individual cuts that you can't live without HERE.

You can see all of the cute SVG files from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons in the SHOP and be sure to check out all the details of my card over on my blog.

A la prochaine,

One More Back to School Card

Okay, I know I've been doing back to school cards all over the place.  This is my last one for a while, I promise.  

I created this card with the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Back 2 School Digital Clip Art Set. I simply drew some rounded rectangles and filled them in with the School Days Penmanship Digital Papers in Silhouette Studio Designer's Edition.  Then, I opened the png clip art files and centered them within each square.  I also filled the mat with a paper from the Summer Brights Argyle & Diamonds set. I used the print and cut feature of Silhouette Studio to cut out the squares and the mat.  Then, I just popped up the squares with foam tape, added some ribbon, and my card was all done!  Super easy!

Each week, I'll be spotlighting a product here and in my Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Graphics Newsletter.  I'd love it if I could have some guest designers create 1-2 projects with my files for me to use in my Newsletter.  I'll post the pics in the newsletter and on my blog, and I'll be sure to link back to your blog.  If you're interested, please e-mail me at lisanorris at prettypapergraphics dot com.

Cameo Creations Challenge ~ Back to School

YAY!!!  It's time for another Cameo Creations Challenge.  The theme of this challenge is Back to School....just make any project using your Silhouette machine that relates to back to school.  Here's what I came up with:

I wanted to make a card I could use as a thank you for teachers or other school workers or volunteers this school year. This card measures 5.75" square. I got the layout from a sketch I saw on Pinterest.  I just love the chevron pattern!  I added patterns to the chevron pieces, background paper, and apple using Silhouette Studio's print and cut feature, added a fun sentiment, some twine, ink, and brads, and my card was all done!

Here are all of the products I used on my card:

• Happy Apple from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Back 2 School Cutting Files Set
• Digital Paper from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons School Days Chalkboards Set, School Days Pattern Pack Set, Rainbow Stars Set, and Rainbow Plaid Grid Set
• 6 Borders Set (Chevron Border) from Silhouette Online Store
• Pink by Design Bracketful Stamp Set
• Lemon Divine Twine
• Star Brads
• Silhouette Cameo & Silhouette Studio
