Here is my project

My Winter Cardinal is a file

from Designs By Cloud 9, I believe

it was a freebie!!

I added a strip of brown paper

on the left side of my card to represent

the tree because the branch looked

funny all by itself!!

I embossed the branch and tree with

the Cuttlebug Woodgrain folder and

the blue paper was embossed with a

snowflake folder.

I added lots of stickles in

Xmas Red to the berries

and Crystal to the snowflakes.

I also added Snowflake Embossing Tinsel

to simulate snow.

My sentiment is from

Jaded Blossoms Christmas Wishes stamp set

and the banner if from the Mini Tag dies.

 

And I hope you noticed that Nana

will be giving away a Silhouette Portrait

if we get to 300 entries, so what are you

waiting for, link up your project!!

The wise men are from Designs on Cloud Nine.

The sentiment and banner are from My Craft Spot.

For this tag I used a tag shape from the

Silhouette Store and the reindeer is from

SVG Cutting Files.  The banner is from

the SIL store, sorry not sure which stamp is

used for the sentiment!!

And of course the cute face is Peachy Keen.

This tag was cut using a Spellbinders die, some punches
and I think the snowman hat is from a Cricut cart,
not sure which one, I had these cut in a drawer!!
And another cute Peachy face.
I scraplifted this idea from tags
my bloggy friend Sherrie
made last year.

Hello and happy Tuesday!!

Today I have a card to share

that I made for my oldest

grandson's 10th birthday.

 

 This super fun file was a freebie from

SVG Cutting Files during the "Trixie Hop"

If you have never done one of their hops

then what are you waiting for??

They almost always have some super fun

freebie files.  This one was part of a file

that included Sully and Mike.

I just wanted Mike so I ungrouped and

deleted the pieces I did not want.

I created a card base by making two offsets

and then welding them. I cut a 3rd offset

for my top layer.

Now I wanted my card to fold at the

top of Mike and not the balloon,

so I only included the balloon on the top layer.

I believe the balloon is from Miss Kates Cuttables.

I added a tag and sentiment

using Jaded Blossoms Mini Tag Dies

and Go Wild Stamp set.

I created an internal offset for this inside of

my card.  The sentiment is from Crafty Sprouts.

I even decorated the envelope using some

more stamps from Crafty Sprouts

and My Creative Time dies.

 

I will be entering this in the following challenges:

folders from Cuttlebug and Sizzix.

I inked them with Distress Ink.

Next I added some pattern paper

from My Minds Eye and some

American Crafts Glitter Tape.

 The adorable snow couple are from

Peachy Keen's Putsen and Jud stamp set.

I purchased the coordinating SVG files

so I cut them with my Silhouette and then

stamped them onto white Coordinations paper.

Next I paper pieced their hats and

coats with the same MME paper.

 I added a little sparkle with some

Holly and Crystal Stickles.

The banner dies are from

My Craft Spot and the

sentiment's are from the same

Cupcake Birthday

Hello and Happy Sunday

to all my crafty friends.

I have been sitting here

making out my Thanksgiving Menu

and grocery list.  I bought my Turkey

a few days ago, but I forgot several

things, so I have been going over my menu

and making out my list to ensure I don't forget anything!!

We will not celebrate until Friday.  We like

to make it easier for our kids since we are

a "blended family" and on Thanksgiving

our kids have to make several stops,

so whenever we can we celebrate on

a different day.

 

Anyway enough rambling, I have a birthday

card to share with you today that I

made for my friends baby girl.

She had a "Cupcake" birthday party.

I used quite a few different products for my card.

The adorable little girl is the

Cupcake Girl cutting file from

SVG Cutting Files.

The blue mat was cut with a

Martha Stewart border punch and

the next layer is the Journal Die

from My Creative Time.

I embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder.

My girls cute face is from Peachy Keen

and I covered the icing of the cupcake

with Distress Stickles.  The banner

at the top is also from My Creative Time.

For the inside, the blue mat

is a Spellbinders die,

the next layer is once again

the Journal Die from My Creative Time

and the Sentiment is from

My Creative Time as well.

I added some 3 Girl Jam ribbon

and some glitter tulle.

Peachy Keen Anything Goes Challenge - Soccer Treat Bags

Happy Friday to all my crafty friends!!

I have some fun treat bags to share with you today.

My 4 year old granddaughter Bella

plays on an under 5 soccer team.

Their games are on Friday nights

and it is so much fun to see the little

ones chasing after the ball.

They only have 3 girls on

the team and they are just to

cutest.  Tonight is their last game

so I decided to make them some

fun treat bags.

The cute little soccer girl is from the

Silhouette Store

Design ID #48249

Their cute little faces are from

the Peachy Keen "In the Garden" stamp set

and the moons face is from the "Happy New Year" set

I typed cut each name, sorry I did not

save the file and don't know what font I used!!

I created an offset for the with my cameo.

I added a little doodling and some ribbon

to the handles and they were done.

I filled them with all kinds of fun goodies!!

Here is a picture of my beautiful Bella!!

She is the youngest of my 8 grandchildren.
