Halloween Record Album Notecard

Hello, I've been reorganizing my craft supplies, and boy do I have so much. There are so many stamps and dies that I haven't even used yet. A lot of these items were must-haves for me at the time so I thought, so I'm really going to try to cut back on stamps and dies and use my cutting machine. My biggest problem is watching YouTube videos of Design Team members making adorable projects with these stamps and dies. Like I just watched one of Concord and 9th's using their Greatest Hits Dies and I almost went to order it but instead, I looked in the Silhouette Design Store which I'm a member of, and sure enough, a couple came up. I ended up using the one from Lori Whitlock called Record Library Card.

I just wanted to use the record alone as the insert so I trimmed down the top of the cover and didn't use the piece that the record attaches to. Why I love some dies so much is the fact they add nice embossing features to them and I wanted the rings that go around the record so I offset a bunch of circles and used the cutting machine to score them on black-white core cardstock, I think my Cameo 4 did a good job.

Here is the record inside the holder, I used white cardstock on the back so I can use it as a notecard. The paper I used is one of Doodlebug Design's older collections Booville, twine is from Annies Paper Boutique Grape Limeade and the Monster Mash is a Miss Kate's Cuttables which I thought was perfect for this Halloween record album!

Valentine Gift Box Card - Lori Whitlock Creative Team Project

Hello there, I have a cute Lori Whitlock box card to share with you today called Box Card Valentine Gift (SVG, Silhouette). Lori makes these cards so simple to put together, people really enjoy receiving them and I love making them. I also used two of the Valentine Cute Stickers (SVG, Silhouette) that I print and cut, I just replaced the envelope and added the Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment.

Hexagon Pop Up Valentine's Day Card

I love the new Hexagon Pop Up cards for Lori Whitlock's shop, absolutely adorable and so easy to put together, just check out her videos on youtube.com. I made the Valentine Gnome one and changed up some of the hearts for stickers from Doodlebug Design's French Kiss Collection.

Valentine Slimline Shaker Card

I saw this adorable slimline heart background die from Whimsy Stamps but unfortunately, it is sold out. I definitely want to still pick it up because I love stitching but I used a heart background from the Silhouette Design Store to make one similar and used it for my shaker card below.

I really love how it came out, I used some vellum under the heart background and filled the inside with some heart-shaped cutouts using the confetti hearts die from Prima. The cute snow fox is from Doodlebug Design you can get that either in the Silhouette Design Store here or Lori Whitlock's shop here. The balloon is also from Doodlebug, I did a print and cut on my Cameo 4.

Valentine's A2 Box Card - Lori Whitlock Cut File

It's been a while since I've done any kind of crafting and I've truly missed it. Felt so good to spend some time working on a couple of things, forgot just how relaxing it is.

I'm determined to only use scrap pieces of paper until I can get this pile I've created down, it's amazing how much you can accumulate.

I used a cut file called A2 Box Card Mailbox Hearts from Lori Whitlock using my Silhouette Cameo 4. The patterned paper is from Doodlebug and used my alcohol markers to color white textured cardstock for the hearts.

Egg Hunt - Doodlebug Hoppy Easter

Playing with Doodlebug's Hoppy Easter stamps and paper collection, made a quick little card. Such an adorable set and I absolutely love all the papers in this collection the colors are wonderful!

You're Space-cial - Doodlebug Far Out Stamp Set

Finally found some time to play with Doodlebug's new stamp sets. They are all absolutely adorable, the card below was created using stamps from the Far Out set which coordinates with the So Much Pun collection.

I used some distress inks, mustard seed, picked raspberry, seedless preserves, chipped sapphire and black soot to create the galaxy background adding water spray and white paint splatter.

Box Card Christmas Tree - Lori Whitlock Creative Team

I put together a tutorial on how I put this adorable Box Card Christmas Truck together over on Lori Whitlock's Blog here. I used Cricut Design Space and my Cricit Maker to cut this out but you can also get this file here at the  Silhouette Design Store.

I added some snow to the tree and a Santa from Doodlebug's Christmas Town mini icon sticker sheet. Patterned paper is Doodlebug's ladybug and limeade dot-stripe petite prints.

Halloween Treat Box Luminary - Doodlebug Design Team Project

Making crafts for Halloween is one of my favorite things to do, it's right up there with Christmas, so I'm always so excited when Doodlebug comes out with their Halloween goodies. The new Pumpkin Party collection by Doodlebug Design has the cutest little Halloween characters and one of my favorites is the little spooky werewolf from the icon sticker sheet that I used on this luminary/treat box.

I like to give these little boxes filled with candies and a battery tea light to friends and family, this way they can use it as a little decor item also. I used the haunted house wide from Lori Whitlock's shop and changed it up a bit to fit my needs. For both the house and roof I used a 12 x 12 sheet of the spooky sweets cardstock. Most of the embellishments are from the pumpkin party icon sticker sheet but I did add two eye see you shaped sprinkles on the vellum in the window. For the candy bag  I used some Halloween twine and a tag from the chit chat pack.

World Card Making Day 2018

I managed to get a couple of projects done today, but only one card. I used a card cut file from Lori Whitlock, patterned paper from Doodlebug and an older stamp sentiment. 

Apple Box - Doodlebug Design Team Project

Doodlebug's new petite prints floral-graph and dot-stripe work perfectly for those projects that you want a little more than just a solid color. The petite prints are one of my favorite paper patterns to use and I'm so happy Doodlebug has come out with more patterns!

One of my favorites is the floral-graph, I used the pretty ladybug floral for this apple box from SVGCuts Miss Baker's Classroom collection. I just love this two-toned floral pattern! The base of the apple was cut out using ladybug textured cardstock. For the leaf, I used the citrus dot-stripe layered on grasshopper textured cardstock.

To decorate the box I used some items from the Down on the Farm collection; this and that stickers, odds and ends, chit chat, farm assortment sprinkles and farm friends sprinkles. I scrunched up a lily white mini doily in the center and glued the embellishments to it and glued just the top part to the top of the apple box so it can be opened without a problem. I finished off the apple with some limeade chunky twine.

Acorn Shaped Card

Doodlebug's petite prints are probably my most favorite papers to use for my projects and I'm so thrilled they came out with more patterns. Here's a card I made using a mix of the old and new, the new ones are floral-graph and dot-stripe.

To create the shaped card I used files from Doodlebug's Flea Market collection from Lori Whitlock's shop. I use Silhouette Design Studio Business Edition to made it and export as an SVG to bring into Cricut Design Space so I can then cut it out on my Cricut Maker. Design Studio has so many more feature's to use than Design Space and to me, it's quicker and easier to manipulate files.

3D Space Backpack - Doodlebug Design Team Project

Here's a cool 3D backpack project I made decorated with Doodlebug Design's new So Much Pun Collection. With school starting here soon this would make a great gift for a student or teacher and what makes it that much cuter is this super fun space paper and embellishments. What I love about this collection the most is the versatility, there is definitely something in it for everyone and for all occasions!

This was a fun project to put together, I used the backpack from svgcuts back to school kit and cut it out using my cricut maker. It was hard choosing what paper I was going to use but that little out of this world doodle pop alien with moon and stars won me over, so space it was.

I used perfect combo, and the front and back of far out from the 12 x 12 paper collection. The speech bubble is from the so much pun chit chat pack and the base of the bag is sunshine textured cardstock.

The enamel stars are from the out of this world shape sprinkles pack and I used a blue jean boutique button with some boy twine on the latch.

I'm always looking for ways to use Doodlebug's adorable washi tape and I think the out of this world washi worked perfectly layered on top of the straps.
