4th of July Americana

I just love Americana style home decor so when I saw the 3D star from the banner in SVG Cuts Made In The USA kit last year I knew I had to make it into a wall hanging.  I enlarged the pieces so the whole size would be around 12 x 12 and I used the print 2 cut feature on my sizzix eclips to print the verse from I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy, one of my favorite James Cagney movies.  I found this Americana digital paper by Tracie Stroud Designs, http://scraporchard.com/market/Americana-Digital-Scrapbook.html, it's totally perfect for my project and I absolutely love it. 


Well after making the star I thought an american flag crate would look cute for my 4th of July cake pops, so I altered the crate from the Caramel Apple Pie Kit.  I shortened the height on the crate boards and added three more for the stripes, a total of 5 on each side.  The star piece is from the Main Street USA Mega Pack.  Then of course I needed a card so I took the flower card from the Iris Fold Cards kit and created this star card.



I must say I really love how they all turned out, love SVG Cuts files!!

Summer Sailing Birthday

I love using the card base from SVG Cuts Mothers Garden, it's definitely one of my favorites.  I made this Birthday Card using elements from both  Edisto Island Cards and Breezy Backyard Lever Cards.  The cards that are in both of these kits are really pretty cards and can be used for so many different occasions.


The tag was made using my Stampin' Up Ticket punch.

I used my McGills Paper Blossoms Tools to puff out the sails for a 3D effect.
