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!

Cookies For You - Doodlebug Designs Christmas Card

Hello, Today I'm sharing a card I'll use for a Christmas cookie exchange and I used some svg files from Doodlebug Designs.  The milk jar and plate of cookies from the Here Comes Santa Claus collection along with the adorable Santa are totally adorable and perfect for this card!  

All the svgs were cut out on my Brother Scan N Cut 2.  The two stamped images are from Jaded Blossom's Milk and Cookies set and the cookies tag is from MCT's Fun Stitched Tags.  All designer paper is from Doodlebug Design's Here Comes Santa Claus and Petite Prints pads.  I used some Liquid Applique on Santa's pom pom and hat trim, gives it some puffy texture and some clear wink of stella on his beard.  The twine is Berry from Annie's Paper Boutique.

Penguin Kisses - SVG Cutting Files Penguin Peppermint Barrow

Hi everyone!
I have a project to share using a new file from SVG Cutting Files,
Penguin Peppermint Barrow

This will be available in the store tomorrow.

I think it's so cute, I made a shaped card in SSDE from the back layer by using the offset and welding the two shapes together.  The file consists of the penguin, peppermints and wheelbarrow.  The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Merry & Bright set, it was totally perfect!!  The label is from their Mini Tag Dies.  The face stamp is a Peachy Keen Face Stamp and I added a touch of Peppermint Stick Trendy Twine.

Hhave a wonderful day!

Snowbuddies Are The Best - My Creative Time Trending Now PeekABoo Card

Hi Everyone!

I have a My Creative Time Trending Now project to share.

It's a Peek-A-Boo Slider Card using the adorable Snowbuddies!

This really was very simple to make and so much fun to put together!  I started with the largest rectangle die from the Stitched Rectangular Dies to cutout my designer paper card front.  Then I used the scalloped die in the Fun Vertical Greetings set to make the cutout in the middle of my card front more towards the right side.  I cutout some layers with one of the Fun Stitched Edges for the snow and glued them down.  I cutout a strip of paper about 1 1/4" from the same designer paper for my pullout and added the Stitched Tab Die on the left side.  On the back of the designer paper I added two strips of foam tape on the sides of the cutout, they are the guide for the pull strip, make sure it glides easily between the tape.  The snowman is glued down on the card front and the snowgirl is attached to the slider piece so she can move freely.  I put pop dots right on the edge where I wanted the end piece to stop and then added her.  She also has a pop dot under her arm so when she slides and hits the snowman's arm she stops.  I hope this makes sense, lol, I know my rambling is making it sound harder then what it is, if you search youtube.com you'll find a bunch.

Before I put everything together I lined up the top layer to the base and stamped my sentiment.

Joyful Wishes - Lawn Fawn Joy To The Woods

Here's a cute card using Lawn Fawn's Joy to the Woods set.  Love the cute little fox and these birch trees.  I used my Brother ScanNCut 2 to cut all the stamped images out, love that machine.  A piece of odd cardstock got mixed with my Neehah Solar White and I couldn't blend my markers well and it actually started peeling the paper but I had already cut everything out and started coloring so I wasn't going to trash them, it came out ok.  For coloring I use mostly Promarkers, I do own the anniversary set of Copics which I did used some of those, I didn't add them to the list below too many colors.

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.

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!
