Action Wobbles Birthday Lion

Happy Monday, everyone!  It's my day to post over at the Action Wobbles Blog, and I have a fun & wobbly birthday easel card to share with you today.  Here it is:


I put the cute little lion from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons (PPPR) Safari Love Cutting Files Set on my Action Wobble for this card.  The birthday hat is from the PPPR Little Hoot Cutting Files Set.  The patterned papers are from a My Mind's Eye Quilting Bee 6 x 6" paper pad.  The black/white pattern is washi tape.  I added a sentiment from Pink by Design's Birthday, Birthday Stamp Set, which I stamped on a PPPR Sentiment Spots 2 file.  I added lots of ink and some rhinestones, and my card was all done!

Here's another angle:



And, of course, the Action Wobble is what makes this card so special.  You can purchase your Action Wobbles from The Royal Castle Shoppe.


Boing!!!


Thanks so much for stopping by today! I'll be back on Wednesday with some more projects to share. :)

Cameo Creations Thanksgiving Blog Hop

Hey, everyone!!! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend so far!  Welcome to Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and the Cameo Creations Thanksgiving Blog Hop.   If you've come here from Jessica's blog, you are in the right place.  If you just stumbled upon my post and would like to start from the beginning, head on over to Cameo Creations.  This hop is all about creating Thanksgiving projects with our Silhouette cutting machines, and we have a fun challenge and some blog candy up for grabs!  YAY!  I decided to make an easel card for this hop/challenge. Here's my project:


I created the base for this card (the background piece) by welding together this doily shape I found in the Silhouette Online Store with a rectangle in Silhouette Studio.  Then, I filled it with a digital paper from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons (PPPR) Pumpkin Spice Cream Polka Dots pack and used the print and cut feature in Silhouette Studio to cut it out.  The plaid sections of the card were also created using print and cut.  I filled those shapes with the a pattern from the PPPR Pumpkin Spice Gingham & Plaid Digital Paper Pack.


This sweet little pilgrim couple came from the PPPR First Thanksgiving Cutting Files Set.  Their faces were a little small to cut out their facial features at this size, so I used the print and cut feature for their faces.  I just grouped the face, eyes, eyebrows, nose, and mouths together, printed them out, and cut them.  I had to do a little maneuvering with the "release compound path" function to make sure the pupils on the girl's face wouldn't cut out, but it worked out.  I'm really happy with how their little faces turned out.  I also printed their hands and legs so the skin colors would match.  This is also a great trick to use if you don't have the right card stock color for their skin (I always have trouble with that).


The scalloped shape on this label was originally a circle I found in the Silhouette Online Store, and I just smooshed it so it would be an oval.  It is filled with the same pattern as the background. I drew the white oval in Silhouette Studio and stamped this sentiment from Pink by Design's Bountiful Blessings Stamp Set.  The banner behind the ovals is from the PPPR Sentiment Spots 1 Cutting Files Set and was filled with a paper from the the PPPR Pumpkin Spice Diamonds & Paisley Digital Paper Pack.  I love using these digital paper collections because everything is color coordinated and looks great together.


Here's a side view of the card.  I added some jute ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and some brads, and my easel card was all done!  I hope you like it!

Our BLOG CANDY for this hop and challenge is a $15 Gift Certificate to Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons, a $20 Gift Certificate to Scraptastical Kreations, and $21 worth of digital stamps from Bugaboo Stamps. There are a couple of ways to win.  You can leave a comment on every blog along the hop, and you can enter our challenge.  How do you do that?  Just create a Thanksgiving-themed project with your Silhouette machine and link it up over at Cameo Creations.  Easy peasy!  We hope you'll join in on the fun!

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. :)

Fan Flash Friday

Hey, did you know that there's something pretty new going on over at the Pink By Design facebook page?  It's called Fan Flash Friday.  Every Friday, Sarah will post a pic of a project she made using PBD stamps.  Once you see her post, you can post any project, old or new (preferably one that uses PBD stamps, but it doesn't have to), to the PBD facebook page.  Then, Sarah will randomly choose one of the people who posts to win an AWESOME prize.  This week, the prize is the Everyday Cricut Cartridge.  Isn't that so easy-peasy?!?!?!? 

This week, I decided to post something new for Fan Flash Friday.  My husband's brother had a birthday on Thursday, so I decided to try making a masculine birthday card for him.  He loves to fish, so this is what I came up with:



This easel card measures about 6" by 5.5" when it is closed.  I used the Camping Critters Cricut Cartridge for the background and the little fishing deer.  The sentiment in the water is from the Pink By Design Woodland Critters stamp set, and the birthday sentiment is from Pink By Design's Birthday, Birthday stamp set.


Here's a view of the card from the side.  I used a couple of brads to help the card stand up like an easel.  You can also use cardstock that's been popped up with pop-dots, but I decided to go with brads this time.


I even made a little pocket that we could tuck some money or a gift card in.  My brother-in-law is still pretty fresh out of college and getting married in September, so money's always a good gift for him. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today...I hope you like my little masculine card. 

So, what are you waiting for???  Sarah has already posted her project, so head on over to Fan Flash Friday and post a project of your own!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #50: Tree Time

Hi, everybody!  It's Monday, so it's time for Challenge Me Monday over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.  The challenge this week is called Tree Time.  You can use any kind of tree on your project...a pine tree, a palm tree, or even a branch will do.  I had so much fun creating this card!  There are so many great tree cuts out there, and I got the chance to make my very first easel card!  Here it is:




Awww!  Doesn't that little panda look so lonely?  Look...he set a place for someone, but they're not there.  :o(  So sad.  Being a military wife, I know how this little guy feels.  We are always away from someone, whether it be family, friends, or my husband.  Missing someone is just no fun!

This easel card measures 5.75" square.  I used the Pagoda cartridge for all of the cuts except the bushes and grass, which came from Everyday Paper Dolls, and the circle, which came from Birthday Bash.  I used my Cuttlebug, the Plum Blossom and Forest Branches embossing folders, and some ink to add a little texture, and I love how it turned out.  I tried to cut out some chopsticks, but they were just too tiny, so I used some tootpicks instead.  Ha!  I think they add just the right touch.  The sentiment was computer generated, and I added some red fibers to jazz up the base a bit.

I hope you'll head on over to FCCB to see what the other Design Team members created and enter the challenge yourself.  I can't wait to see what you create! 

Thanks for stopping today.  If you like what you see, I'd love it if you'd leave a comment and become a follower.  Have a great day!
