Let's Eat Cake!

Happy Thursday!

💖

Hope your Thursday is shaping up to be a good one! 

I'm sharing a festive card for you today! It's a little different than usual...the cupcake is from Pretty Cute Stamps (which is Lisa's other beautiful company!)

I combined my two of my favorites *{Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons & Pretty Cute Stamps}* together to bring you this card. I am reaching back in the fault with some of the cutting files, but I want you to see that you can create a great layered card with repetitive files, I know you've been seeing these files on my cards a lot, but I can't stop using them...they are so versatile, easy to layer and so classic. 

You'll find A2 Card Bases Cutting Files, Photo Frames 1 Cutting Files, Scalloped Circles Cutting Files, Arrows Cutting Files & a Pretty Cute Stamps file, PCS Hey Cupcake Digital Stamp Set:

Thank you for stopping by and checking this card out today! I hope I've inspired you or at least made you smile!! Have a great day and stop by tomorrow for a great freebie and update from Lisa!

Guest Designer ~ Stacey's Creative Corner plus New File and FREEBIE Friday

TGIF, everyone! It's time for another amazing Guest Designer! Stacey from Stacey's Creative Corner is sharing some very springy and retro designs this week. She created a very cheery Easter bag and an amazing card. She used Happy Bunny Cutting Files, Oval Window Treat Bag Cutting Files, and Vintage Arcade Game Cutting Files.

Let's get a look at that treat bag! How cute is that?!?!?! Love the colors you used, Stacey! They compliment each other perfectly!

What a great pun for this card! Stacey used the Game On stamp set from Pretty Cute Stamps (PPPR's sister company) for that sentiment. So cute! Again, Stacey used perfect colors for this card, they give it a perfect vintage-y feel!

Okay, now I have a few new files for you this week. These sweet files can be found in the PPPR store by clicking on the photos below.

Before I get to this week's freebie, I'd like to invite you to join us for our Spring Break Blog Hop this Saturday. The PPPR Design Team will be sharing spring and spring break themed projects they created using PPPR files. We'll have a freebie or two and a prize up for grabs, so we hope you can stop by!

Poppin' By To Say...

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 a fun PPPR files.

I created a shape card from the Movie Popcorn Cutting File.  I used my Silhouette to create it.  I thought it might make a fun card for a birthday party my son is going to next week.  He is giving the birthday boy a movie gift card.

The cute and perfect sentiment is from Pretty Cute Stamps Snack Time Stamp Set.  I LOVE this set.  It just arrived yesterday, and I made this card right away!!
  

I love how fast and easy this card came together and I think it's the perfect birthday card. 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,

Fabric Shamrocks

Hello PPPR Friends!

It's Kathy, from Kathy and Kids, and today I am sharing with you a fabric project using the "Shamrock Faces" cutting files.

I love using svg files to create and cut out fabric appliques for sewing and quilting projects.  But you can also use fabric on paper projects as well.

Here is a fabric zippered pouch and a matching card that I made using the same fabric applique.

 

Here is the zippered pouch:

PPPR Fun with Puns Blog Hop

Hey, everyone! Welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Fun with Puns Blog Hop. We have all sorts of fun and PUNNY projects to share with you today using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files. We also have a fun freebie and a chance for your to win a Gift Certificate to the PPPR store. Oh, and we're also kicking off our next challenge theme. So, grab a muffin and some coffee, and settle in to see some awesome PUNNY designs. Here's what I created for the hop:

I used several sets to create this fun little card. I created the card base using a shape from the Layered Labels 3 Cutting Files set. The little squirrel is from the Nuts About You set. I used the release compound path feature in Silhouette Studio to remove his little nose and tooth from the squirrel so I could make them a little smaller. That way, the glasses from the Bread and Butter Cutting File would fit more naturally on his little face. Of course, he wouldn't be adorkable enough without his little graphing calculator from the Secondary Supplies Cutting Files. I put all of the files together in my Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software, created an offset outline, and did a print and cut with the whole image. That way, I could just pop it right on top of my card base without worrying about all of those tiny calculator pieces cutting out! I added a fun sentiment from the Pretty Cute Stamps Adorkable stamp set, and my fun and punninlicious card was all done!  Here are links to the products I used for my card:

PPPR Nuts About You Cutting Files	PPPR Bread & Butter Cutting Files	PPPR Secondary Supplies Cutting Files
PPPR Layered Labels 3 Cutting Files	PPPR Sentiment Spots 1 Cutting Files	PCS Adorkable Stamp Set
