You're The Tops - SVG Cutting Files Circus Tent Box

Hi Everyone!!

It's my day over at the SVG Cutting Files blog and
I'm sharing this cute project using the new Circus Tent Box.

This file will be available in the store tomorrow.

Along with the new Circus Tent Box I used some of the animals from the Chibi Jungle Animal Set and added some cute Peachy Keen Faces to each.  I did the same for the Clown With Balloon.  The base and fence are from the Fence Platform Box, I just cut down the base and made the fence shorter in SSDE.  For the balloons I used the Kawaii Balloon without the face.  The flag is from Jaded Blossom's Treat Flags and all the sentiments are from Peachy Keen Stamps.

I had so much fun putting this project together, I think it would make such a cute birthday party or even a baby shower table centerpiece! I put a nice size bag of peanuts inside!

Here's a photo of just the  Circus Tent Box!

If you want to win this cut file make sure you visit my post over at SVG Cutting Files and leave a comment before Friday at 8:30 PST!!

Folded Shaker Frame - My Creative Time Teach Me Thursday

Hi Everyone!

Today is Teach Me Thursday at My Creative Time!

I have a tutorial to share on how to make this folded shaker frame window.

This is very easy to make and simple to assemble, I really love it with the shaker inside.

Here's some of the supplies I used, I ended up switching the ranger caribbean coast ink for ranger's blue ribbon.  You'll also need some foam and score tape and a piece of acetate.

I cut the card front using the largest die from the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies, the 4 x 4 and frame from the 4 x 4 Journal Die and More set and just a square white piece a little less then 2 1/2".  I trimmed some off the bottom of the frame die so all sides are equal.

You want to score in at each point of the 4 x 4 at 7/8" and 1 3/8", if you have a score board you can place the top point at 2 3/4" to keep it straight while you score it.

The 4 x 4 window is folded in on the 1 3/8" score and the 7/8 is folded out.  I also pinched the corners down and rounded them with my corner chomper, but you can leave it square. On the white piece I stenciled some clouds, stamped and colored my image.  I also cutout a piece of acetate a little less than 2 1/2" which is glued to the frame.

I added a double layer of foam tape around the frame on the acetate side.  Now you can add your beads, sequins or whatever you'd like to your shaker and put the stamped image onto the foam tape.

On the top of the frame you want to add some score tape or something that's pretty strong that will hold the flaps.  Add some tape to the back of the shaker and put it into the window and pull the flaps so they cover the frame.  You can add some glue dots behind the outer flaps so they stay flat.

This is how it should look when finished, now it's ready to be glued onto your card.  I've made folded window cards before but not as a shaker or with the dies, I really love how the stitching looks on it!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and get a chance to make one of these folded shaker frames.

Made With Love - My Creative Time Made in Minutes

Hi Everyone!

I have a MCT Made In Minutes project to share.

This cute treat bag using the milk carton die.

This took no time to make, instead of using it as a milk carton I scored the sides so they folded in to create the bag.  I then used the stitched lollipop holder die and cutoff part of it and used it as a flap.  Stamped a sentiment from the all around goodies set onto the scallop & stitched circle die and finished with the fun size scallop stitched bow die.  Makes a cute favor treat bag!

First I want to thank all of you for the wonderful comments all week!!

I had so much fun with these Stamps and Dies!

Here's a couple of projects I like to share with you today!!

First up is a card featuring the Believe in Your Dreams set. The feathers are great and I love the text of the sentiments in this set. I also used Build A Scripty & Watercolor Background and Family is Everything sets.

You're My Hero stamp set is a must have, you can use it for just about anything!! Here I made a military card for someone special, created the shaker with one of the stars from the Star Dies. For the stripes I used the Stripey Background Stamp. I also stamped the little stars inside from the new set Thanks for the Lift.

Since I watercolored my last The Sky Is The Limit card I wanted to make another using my Promarkers, you can tell it's been a long winter, I'm totally into bright colors lately, lol!! I cut the clouds out from this glitter fun foam I bought at Michaels, love this stuff, makes them really look puffy!!

For all the cards I also used the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies and More.

Here's what you all have been waiting for!!

Happy Mama's Day - My Creative Time Inspire Me Wednesday

Hi everyone!

It's Inspire Me Wednesday over at the MCT's blog.

My inspiration for today's project came from a video by Dawn from Wplus9 Design.

She created an Inlaid Balloon card, you can watch her video here.

It's such a cool technique, kind of like a puzzle and I love how you can see both the outer and inner stitching of the die cuts when you use this technique.  Basically you are cutting out on your background paper coloring and putting your cuts back in.  Definitely watch Dawn's video!!

Here's a closer look, the flowers, clouds and grass are all cutout colored and put back in, just the label with sentiment, button and butterfly are not inlaid.  The stems and leaves are all stamped, just added some dots with marker, really enjoyed putting this card together!

MCT Product's Used

Fun Stitched Tag Dies - Labal

Stitched Cartoon Cloud Dies - Clouds

Stitched Grass Die - Grass

Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves Dies - Flowers
