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!
