Teddy Bear Valentines

Here's two of the Valentine's Day cards I made for the children's charity.  I cut them out with my Silhouette Cameo using a cut file I found at the Silhouette store.  I am looking for ways to use up the big package of kraft card stock I bought last year when it was on sale for $2 at Michaels.  Still have 2/3 of the package left.  Will probably make more critters like these as the little kids seem to like those best.

1st Christmas Card Of 2016

Here's my first Christmas card for this year.  Yes, I know it's really early to be working on them, but I realized today that I have promised to send cards to 3 different charities instead of just the childrens charity.  I plan to make a few cards each month so that I will have enough to send a package to all of the charities at the end of November. 

 I created my card with this cute snowman friends digi image I found at the Bugaboo store.  Colored them with Copics.  Printed the saying and cut out with Spellbinders die.  Snowflake paper and ribbon from my stash.  Punched out 2 layers of snowflakes with EK punch.  Added some silver metallic glitter to the snowflake centers.

Just A Note

While putting things away in my craft area, I found a file folder with some images I printed out a long time ago from the House Mouse Triple CD.  Made this quick CAS style card to send in this month's box to the Cards For Hospitalized Kids Charity.  These little house mouses always make me smile and I hope the kids will too.

Sailboat Card

Our plans changed.  Our company coming from out of state has delayed their trip due to all the snow.  They are going to wait for a break in the weather before they head our way.  So it looks like I have a bit of time to work on some cards.  This card went together fairly quickly.  I stamped the crackle background on SU Bordering blue CS with Bordering blue ink.  Ship was stamped with Night of Navy ink on Neenah CS.  Cut out pieces with Spellbinders and MFT dies.

  I made this for a new charity called Card Care Connection that I just found out about. Their mission is to send cards to help brighten the day of people who have cancer.  They are in need of masculine cards which are a bit out of my comfort zone, but I grabbed some stamps and gave it a go.  I tried to make my card generic so it could be used for the boys or the men in the program.

I'm back

I still have a few projects left to do on my list, but finished most of them, so thought I would take today off and make some cards for the children's charity. Found this cute butterfly and hello script cut files at the Silhouette store.  Created a offset in Silhouette Studio, duplicate above, overlapped, aligned and merged two to form the white card base.   Cut out all pieces with my Silhouette Cameo.  Instead of throwing out the pink butterfly that was cut out, I folded up the wings and glued it back on to the card base for more dimension.

Taking a short break from blogging

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick post to let you know I will be taking a short break from posting and blogging to complete some other projects around the house.   Hope to be back later next month.

Christmas Tree Fudge Box

Went grocery shopping early this morning and found a special sale on Chocolate Fudge.  Bought a big box of it and plan to share some of it with my neighbors.  I cut out this Christmas Tree Candy Box with my Cameo using a cut file from the Silhouette store.  It has dividers inside so it can fit four pieces of fudge in each box.  Tag was cut out with MS tag punch and attached to the ribbon with red twine.

Warm Winter Wishes

I love all the Bugaboo digis, but I think the snowmen are my favorite images.  I used the challenge color chart and colored the image in GIMP using the color dropper so they all match.  I did have to add orange for the carrot, but other than that I used all the colors on the chart.  Also used the strip paper on the packages in the bottom photo as my inspiration for the background paper which I made in GIMP using overlays from Mel Stampz.

Santa Card

I've lots to do, but wanted to sneak in some crafting time this afternoon.  I made this CAS style Santa card for a special little girl.   The fun digi image is from Bugaboo.  Also used my new Darice snowflake embossing folder.  Cut out the image with my Silhouette Cameo.  Instead of using pop dots, I cut out 4 extra layers to mount Santa on.  Gives some dimension without the high cost of the pop dots.

Christmas tree flip card

 

Look familiar?  Yes I did make a similar card a few months ago.  This is a slightly different version of the Christmas tree flip card I made in Sept.  I used the same red card base and diagonal paper, but cut out a solid green tree.  I embossed the tree with a Cuttlebug swirl folder and added some red twine and a tiny gold metallic star which I cut out with a Whimsy die.  The other pieces were cut out with my Silhouette Cameo using a cut file from the Silhouette store.

Thank you card

It's been raining on and off all day so I am staying inside and playing with my Silhouette Cameo.  I am running low on Thank you cards so I went through the cutting files in my library that I purchased from the Silhouette store.  I found this pretty floral one that I bought a while ago but never cut out until today.  The colors are a bit off in the photo, in real life the card is bright white and hot pink on a black card base.  Pearls are white too but look yellow in the photo.   But the dark overcast skies are making me use a flash this afternoon which alters the colors.

Snoopy Flip Card

Bought a Sizzix card die called Scalloped Square Flip It. (It cuts out a square shaped flip swing card base with a scalloped square cut out in the center. ) Used Bazzill red cardstock for the base.  Stamped Snoopy, then cut out image and black background layer with Spellbinders dies.  Punched the scalloped corners with a EK Success Paper Shapers Photo Corner punch.  I checked my stash and I didn't have 4 red buttons that were the right size for the corners, so I cut out "paper" buttons with my Cameo and Bazzill cardstock using a cut file I found at the Silhouette store.

  This is for the Cards For Hospitalized Kids Charity.
