Blue vellum skies

I normally don't work with vellum, but found a few sheets when I was putting folders away in my craft room this week.  

I combined a pretty bird scene cut file from the Silhouette store with white card stock and light blue vellum for the sky.

While reorganizing my Christmas craft supplies this afternoon,  I found this cute QKR Stampede digi image called Catching Snowflakes that I colored with Copics last year but never made into a card.  The flip swing circle card shape and print papers were cut out with my Silhouette Cameo using a file I bought at the Silhouette store.  This is going into the box for the children's charity.

I'm back....

We got most of the indoor projects done, but have to wait for a countertop to be made to finish the work. And it's raining really hard so can't work outside.  It gives me a good excuse to stay indoors and play with paper and my craft supplies.  Lol, it's been so long since I made a card, I forgot where I put things and had to go digging through closets to find where I put my Christmas supplies to make this one.  The image is a precolored digi by Elizabeth Bell and is sold by Hobby House.  They come on a sheet called Christmas Eve.  It has 6 colored images on the sheet.  So fun to work with.

Summer vacation

Now that the weather has warmed up, I have lots of work I need to do in the yard and painting in the house.  I will be taking time off from the internet, blogging and commenting until my to do list is complete.  

Looney Tunes Baseball Card

I bought this cute Looney Tunes baseball image at the Silhouette store a long time ago and never used it.  Cut out the image and saying with my Cameo.  Border and circles cut out with Spellbinders dies.  Papers from my stash.  This is for the little boys at the children's charity.

Snowflake Card

I'm making a few holiday cards each month so I have them done by early Dec and won't have to rush around during the busy holiday season.  Here's a snowflake card I made with my Cameo and a cut file from the Silhouette store.  Also used a Sizzix snowflake texture plate to emboss the turquoise layer, rhinestones and white gel pen to do the stitching around the edge.

Turtle at the beach

It's great to be working on summer theme cards.  While looking through my files, I found this fun turtle at the beach image that I bought last year from the Silhouette store.  

Looney Tunes You make me smile card

Another card made with a Looney Tunes print and cut file I bought last year at the Silhouette store. 
Papers and twine from my stash.  This is for the children's charity.

Butterfly card

I bought this butterfly card cutting file from the Silhouette store a long time ago and never cut it out.  I love how it turned out.  Hope it will make the kids at the childrens charity smile.

Hi dude

 

This cute little boy is one of the Strawberry Shortcut print and cut files from the Silhouette store.  I cut out the image and saying with my Cameo.  Stars were cut out with a Sizzix die.  Papers from my stash.  This is for the little boys at the children's charity.

I love this adorable digi image called Valentine Cow from Eureka Stamps.  I opened the image in Silhouette Studio, traced the edge, used the offset feature to create a white border, copied the traced portion, selected mirror left, then overlapped the two pieces to form the card base, aligned them, then merged both pieces.  Printed out the top piece with the cow, cut out all the pieces with my Cameo, folded the card base in half and glued the cow to the card base.  Colored the cow with Copic markers.  Inside says "Hope you have a MOOVELOUS Valentine's Day!"

The original file has the white layer and one red layer, but no card base.

overlapped the two shapes, aligned the two shapes then merged them together.

Remember the song from Paul Anka called Puppy Love?  That's what popped into my mind when I tried to think of a title for this blog post.  This card is for my hubby for Valentine's Day.  He loves dogs, so I thought this darling digi image called "Heart Puppy" from Eureka Stamps would be perfect for his card.

Colored the digi image with Copic Markers.  Used a gold glitter pen for the dog tag.  Designer paper is from the Robin's Nest.  Image printed Neenah cardstock.  Cut out the digi image with Spellbinders square dies.  Scalloped border and the heart shaped ribbon holder are cut files from the Silhouette store.  Cut those out with my Cameo.  Mounted image to card with pop dots for a little dimension.

3D Shadow Box Card

This is one of the new 3D shadow box cutting files at the Silhouette store by Lori Whitlock.  It's a neat design, but very tricky to put together.  I cut it out of 110 lb GP white card stock and found that it wasn't sturdy enough.  Next time I cut this out, I plan to use a very heavy weight card stock.  That way it will hold the shape better and not bend towards the center.
