Corn-gratulations ~ SOUS Die Cut Challenge Oct. 19

TGIF!!!  Today is a wonderful day for another Die Cut Challenge over at Stuck on U Sketches.  The theme for this challenge is Pumpkin or Vegetable.  So, we needed to create a project using a pumpkin or vegetable die cut.  Here's what I came up with:

This CORNY card measures 5.75" square.  I got the fun little corn from the new Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Fall Festival Cutting Files Set.  I used the "release compound path" function in Silhouette Studio to delete and move around some of his kernals so I could add this adorable little face from Peachy Keen's Critter Faces Set A Medium stamp set.  I think it makes him so cute!  I embossed his husk with my Cuttlebug and my Sizzix Woodgrain embossing folder.  The background circle was embossed with my Sizzix Paisley Palooza embossing folder.  I added a banner shape that I found in the Silhouette Online Store with this super cute sentiment from Pink by Design's Plum Perfect Stamp Set.  I embossed the banner with my Cuttlebug Herringbone embossing folder.  I added lots of ink, some doodles, and some star brads, and my silly little card was all done!

Now, it's your turn!  Head on over to Stuck on U Sketches to see what the other Design Team members created.  Then, link up your own project that uses a pumpkin or vegetable die cut.  We can't wait to see what you create!

Be sure to come back tomorrow for an AWESOME Blog Hop!  There will be such cute Halloween projects and some FABULOUS Blog Candy along the way.  Plus, there are only 7 stops, so you'll get to hop through in no time flat!  The fun starts here on Saturday, October 20...I hope to see you there! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today and taking the time to comment!  I love your comments...they give me warm, fuzzy feelings! :)

Cameo Creations Challenge: Sports Theme

Hey, everyone!  It's time for another Cameo Creations Challenge!  The theme of this challenge is Sports, and I had a lot of fun with my project.  Here's what I made:

I just LOVE it!!! Do you ever have a project like that?  One where you stop to look at it whenever you walk by?  Well, this is one of those projects for me.  First of all, I chose green and gold to root for Baylor University, where my husband and I went to college (and also where we met).  It could also do double duty for the Green Bay Packers (my hubby's favorite football team).  I should have done another one with blue, silver, and white, because I, of course, the true Texan that I am, will always be a fan of the Dallas Cowboys.  Oh, well...maybe later. :)  Anyway, on with how I made the card.

I got the cute cheerleader and football from the SVG Cuts Game Day SVG Collection.  The cheerleader's face is from the Peachy Keen Laughy Taffy Face Assortment.  I think it's just perfect for her.  I added a little gem to her bow with my iRock and some lines to her hair with some of my Copics.  I embossed the football with my Cuttlebug Tiny Bubbles embossing folder.  I love this one...you can use it for so many things!  The cute pennants came from the Silhouette Online Store.  I added a stamp from the Pink by Design  Flying High Stamp Set to one of the pennants and sandwiched some toothpicks in between the cuts to make poles for them.  Finally, I added lots of ink and stitching lines to complete the front of  my card.  I love how it turned out!

I made the card base itself by copying the football shape, mirroring it above, and then welding the two together.  Then, I sized the welded shape a little smaller so the yellow wouldn't show from the front.  Then, I added a plain brown football on the back.  Hopefully that makes sense.  I should have taken some pics or a video of the steps.  

Okay, now it's your turn.  If you haven't yet, head on over to Cameo Creations to see what the other Design  Team members created for this challenge.  Then, you can create your own sports-themed project using your Silhouette machine and link it up there.  You'll have two weeks to enter, and you could win 7 free digis from Bugaboo Digital Stamps!  I hope you'll enter...I can't wait to see what you create!!!

I'm also linking this up at Sarah Hamer Designs for Link Up Tuesday. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! :)



Makin' Waves

Happy Monday, everyone!  Today is my Design Team day over at Pink by Design, so I have a fun card to share with you today.  Here it is:

The fabulous sentiment came from Pink by Design's Cruisin' Stamp Set.  I think it's perfect for a congratulations card.  I also can't wait to use it whenever I start scrapbooking our last vacation...which happened to be a cruise.  This set will be PERFECT for that!

I found this cool surfer girl in the Silhouette Online Store and cut her using my Silhouette Cameo.  I created the base of the card by welding two circles together in Silhouette Studio.  Then, I embossed it using Tim Holtz Retro Circles embossing folder and my Cuttlebug.  I inked everything up with my ColorBox Fluid Chalk Inks, and my card was all done.  I hope you like it.

By the way, did you know that there is a fun challenge going on right now at Pink by Design???  You can enter by creating a project that is green or St. Patrick's Day themed and linking it up HERE by March 12.  I hope you'll join in on the fun.  You could win an AWESOME prize!!!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you'll stop by later in the week...I have exciting news to share with you! ;)
