Bright Idea!

Hi, Ruth here today from Paper and Musings.

School is winding down and I've got a project that we'll be giving as a gift to a teacher.
I decorated the front of a craft covered notebook with Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons die cuts (some with digital papers from the shop, too!)
Here it is:

Don't you just love that face? It's from the Laughing Light Bulb Cutting Files! I think it went very well with the Sunburst Shapes Cutting Files, which worked well with Halloween Flourish Digital paper! The sentiment card is filled with a School Days Chalkboards digital paper pattern. Couldn't resist using the chalkboard design for this teacher gift!

If you want more details about my project, feel free to stop by my blog where I tell more about what I did.

I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

Be sure to play along with our Oh, Snap challenge (click the Monthly Challenges tab at the top of this post.) I'd love to see what you create!

Happy crafting!

Ruth



A Laughing Thank You

Hello PPPR Friends

 

I hope you each had a wonderful Holiday and a great end to 2014!

 

It's Kathy, from Kathy and Kids, and today I would like to share with you a cute Thank You card using the "Laughing Light Bulb" cutting file.

 

 

Details:

I cut the file at 125%, and used the offset feature to create the white folded card base.

I added the cheeks using some pink chalk, and the sentiment is from the "Simple Sayings 2" stamp set by Jaded Blossom.

 

Have a great week and Thanks for stopping by!

Naughty? or Nice?

 Your neighbor elf, Leah Schaeffer, here today to share a layout with you all!  I am so glad to be here today! Literally dancing around in anticipation to share my holiday projects with  you all this month!   This project is pretty much a paper only project but using lots of glitter paper and glitter glue helps the page fully come alive! As I often do in my layouts, if any of you are starting to notice, I love doing oversized elements on a page. It really allows Lisa's incredible cutting files to come alive and all those amazing details to be shown! This Santa on it's own is so special! Imagine just Santa in the middle of a holiday card with a great pattern paper behind him, it's all you would need! 

 I began with the Starburst Shapes Cutting Files background and then added my elements. Remember that when you are seeing a cutting file, think that you can often take the pieces apart to use separately. Just as I pulled the stack of gifts out of Santa's hands in the Jolly St. Nick Cutting Files (used one Santa and the gifts from the other Santa option). You'll see what I mean with the cutting file image at the end of the post.

 For all you alcohol marker fans, don't forget that you can add detail to your die cuts using your marker. I added some grey shading to the white on Santa with my markers. As well as using a thin line of glitter to outline the white trim of his clothing.

Okay! This project is file heavy…here's what I used!

Sometimes you need to send a friend or family member a word of encouragement! Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons has a perfect graphic for this! 

Shannon here, sharing a cute little pick me up card with you today!

I can't get enough of this file:

I break into a smile just looking at it! If this card doesn't make you smile, then you are in need of an intervention:

Here's a close up of the adorable light bulb...and his puffy cheeks...which you can create by outlining and filling in with clear drying adhesive. 

Have a great Thursday! ❤
