Good Morning!

Melisa here with another Valentine's Day card to share with you.  I thought I would get a head start on making Valentine's Day cards this year.  I'm going to enter this into the Made with Love Challenge.  You can find all the details about the Challenge HERE.

I used the NEW Friday Freebie called Made with Love Tag Cutting Files for my card base.  In the Silhouette Studio I cut the top of the tag off and then replicated the shape.  Then I welded them together to form my card base.  

The pig is from the Farm Critters Cutting Files.  Her bow and the hearts are from the Safari Love Cutting Files.  They are on the Elephant in that cutting file.  The grass is from the Flower Assortment Cutting Files.

The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Funny Valentine Stamp Set.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a day!

Sometimes you have to create your own happiness...

Happy Wednesday!

I was so happy to see the NEW A2 Card Bases 1 Cutting Files last week.  I love making shaped cards and knew these would be fun to work with. I was especially excited to see the taller card, it would be great to create scenes on.  

For my card base I used the NEW A2 Card Bases 1 Cutting Files.  To make room for my sentiment I made the white card stock a little taller.  The grass is from the Flower Assortment Cutting Files.  The hummingbird & tulip are from the Spring Garden Cutting Files.

The NEW A2 Card Bases 1 Cutting Files are still FREE until this Thursday 11/20/2014.  You can get it HERE. 

Have a great day!

Pretty Fabric Flowers

Happy Tuesday Crafty Friends!

It's Kathy, from Kathy and Kids, here to share with you a pretty fabric flower using one of the "Flower Assortment Cutting Files" flowers.

Supplies:

PPPR "Flower Assortment Cutting File", I used the petal layers from "Flower 6"

thick cardstock

fabric scraps

fusible interfacing

fabric marker (disappears with water)

fabric scissors

pinking shears

button

twine/ribbon

I used my Cameo to cut the petal layers at about 4" and 3" across.  I also cut a small circle at about 1 1/4" diameter.  I cut them from heavy cardstock so they would hold up to me using them multiple times.

Make your layers of fabric and interfacing and then trace the petals using a fabric marker.

Sew along the marker lines.

Cut out each piece just outside the stitching.

Use a damp cloth to wet the marker lines and they will disappear :)

Layer them together and top off with a cute button and tie with twine or ribbon.

You can use just about any flower shape and size, and even add more layers.

Thanks for stopping by and have fun making flowers!

A Boot Full of Flowers

Hello fabulous people! Leah Schaeffer here today sharing a card! 

 I created a card with a mix of regular card stock die cutting and then also utilizing the print and cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo. I adore that you can mix these concepts! 

 I started with designing my background. I layered a couple shades of green for the bushes/grass, added my blue background and clouds (then did print and cut). I then sized my boot and flowers. The layers on the boot are print and cut, as is one layer of the flower (top layer with yellow center) and the back was cut from regular paper.  I also cut a teeny tiny little tag!!! 

 Oh of my favorite thing is using the print and cut feature on textured paper. I use card stock from Walmart and trim to fit my printer. I think it looks a lot better this way then something 

printed on smooth paper =)

 A nice thick coat of Glossy Accents on the "rubber" boot ends up an easy and striking detail!

Here are the files used today!

Dreaming of You card

Hi everyone, its Nanné here from Nanne's Creations and I have a fun summer themed card to share with you..  I absolute love the ice cream popsicle's in the "Popsicle Fever" cutting file.  I knew I really wanted to create a fun card and then thought of popsicle's floating around in clouds, like you're dreaming of them.. Yeah, my brain works in mysterious ways..LOL

Here is what I created:

The card measures 6x6 and has lots of fun layers using foam tape.

Here are some close ups:

I added the text to the banner (Sentiment Spots 1-cutting file ) using the SIL software, then grouping the font with the file, finally just cutting around the edge.  

I felt the trim around the circle needed a little something, something.  So, I cut a few small flowers and leaves from the Flower Assortment cutting file

I love adding clouds to my projects, they really soften them up.. these clouds can be found in the

Rain or Shine cutting file

Side view of the ice cream pops.. they are all in the "Popsicle Fever" cutting file..

and there ya have my cute ice cream popsicle card..

It was so much fun to put together and I inked/chalked the edges of the die cuts, just to give them a little more dimension and to have them literally pop off the page..

I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by today and check out my DT project..

till next time..

Hugs

Love you more than card

Hi fellow crafters..
It's Nanné here to share a card I created using the Flower Assortment cutting file,  Falling leaves, Layered Labels 1 and Valentines Sweet's cutting file..

I've been wanting to create my own roses for a while now.. Used to make them all the time, but some how I just started making other stuff and now felt like no time like the present..LOL
Here is the "Sweet" card I created:

Love love love the flower assortment cutting file.. 

So many amazing flowers to choose from and the heart petals were perfect for a rose and the rose buds..

How about some close ups and details:

I decided to add drops of glossy accents to create the wet look..

Added big pearl halves to the middle of the red flowers and then I found some red stamens in my stash which I glued to the center of the roses and rose buds using glossy accents.

I created the title using some fun fonts and the heart is from the lollipop in the Valentines Sweet's cutting file along with the chocolate dipped strawberry's.. Yum! :)

close up of the strawberry's.. I decided to print and cut those with the shadow instead of cutting each individual layer.. added some glossy accents to it as well.. went a little crazy with that stuff, but it happens..LOL

Here are the cutting files I used:

Thanks for stopping by today..

Hey Girlfriend!

Good Morning!

Melisa from Melisa's Crafty Creations here with you this morning.  Today I have a card to share with you.  I've been trying to make some extra cards to keep in my stash.  It seems like I have too many of one themed cards and not enough of another.  So I thought I would make a card to send to a girlfriend who may need some cheering up.  

I used the Star Spangled Cards Cutting File for my card base.  The adorable little girl is from the Dress Up Girls 1 Cutting File.  Her dress is from the Valentine Kids Cutting File.  I did have to stretch her dress a little bit to make sure it was wide enough to cover her body.  Her shoes & flower in her hair are from the Dress Up Girl Pink Dress Cutting File.  

The Flower and the Bushes  are from the Flowers Assortment Cutting File.  The sentiment is from My Creative Time's Girl's Night Out Stamp Set.  Her sweet face is from Peachy Keen's Sweet & Innocent Face Assortment.  

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.
