A June Hello

We always are sending holiday and birthday wishes but sometimes the best wish to send it a surprise wish just to say Hello. Today's card is all about that unexpected wish to send to a friend in the good ol' summertime.

What makes this card special is the summer colors and the layering I did.

The paper used is from Echo Park's 6 x 6 paper pad: For the Record 2 by Lori Whitlock

The circle cut out in the top left corner and the fancy cut out in the lower left corner were made with Cuddlebug 5 x 7 Embossing Plus-Embossed Tags folder 

Used for the touch of green on the yellow cut out was Tim Holz Ranger Distress Ink in peacock feathers.

Roses were spritzed with Perfect Pearls Mist in Sunflower Sparkle 

Glue to hold it all together - Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive

 Enjoy your June and I'll see you back here with some July fun for Cutters Creek On Line Store.

Details:  The BBQ Monkey is a digital image by Digi Boutique.  The image was colored using Inktense Pencils.  Everything is held together using Scotch Quick-Dry Adhesive.  Digital papers and black check printed paper are from my stash.  The envelope was created using the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board.  The card is 5-1/4” square.  The envelope is 5-1/2” square.  Other tools used were Paint Shop Pro and the Silhouette Portrait.

I made this card for my younger grandsons to give to their Dad.  My son-in-law loves to cook especially on the grill.  I think he will get a charge out of the card.

Best Dad Every Card

Father's day is this coming Sunday but don't panic because there is still time to grab a cartridge and get to work on making a quick and cute card. I used the Father's Day cartridge from Provo Craft and my Cricut to cut out the car, television remote control, grill and sentiment. The things I picked from the cartridge are things that reflect the personality of my hubby.

I had trouble getting the card to stand at first but I started folding and gluing and then added the car with glue dots so it stuck out further and this was the solution to my "make the card stand" problem.

Here is a close up of the car. I used glitter on the windows and tires to give it depth.

Here is a list of products I used from Cutters Creek Store to help me build my project:

Scor Pal

Perfect Pearls on the television remote control, windshield, and red nob of bbq grill

Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive

Glue Dots to attache the car

Have a great week and a happy Father's Day to all those wonderful fathers out there.

Father's Day Card and Tie Box by Michele

I wanted to share with you a Father's Day Card and Tie Box I made for Father's Day that is next month. I got a new machine, Silhouette Cameo. I bought an SVG file on line and that file had the card and tie box along with 4 other files. The card  measure about 7x5" and the tie box is about 8x2x2". The paper line I worked with is called Little Sport by Heidi Larsen  and the tie box was just white and brown cardstock and the tie is the Double Dot Decaf by Bo Bunny.   To adhere some of the letter's and white diamond I used 2-way Glue Pen-Zig.

I also used Scotch Quick Dry to put the box together. To give the tie some dimension I used vera color Bark. Thank you for stopping by. If you like anything I used please visit CuttersCreek store. Still can not find what you want or need a special order contact Kim and she will help get what you need in a flash. Have a great week ahead.

Lucky Leprechaun! by Deanna M

When I came across this cute little Hippo juggling shamrocks I just new I had to use him for a project. This is a print and cut image that I found in the Silhouette store. I used him at his default size which was about 5".

For my card I started with white card stock cut and scored to may a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" portrait style card. Next I cut a green mat at 4 1/8" X 5 3/8". The white mat is cut at 3 3/4" 5 1/4". I wanted the sides of the green mat to show a bit more to help frame my image. I ran the white mat through my eBosser and embossed it with an Anna Griffin Circle of Gold embossing folder.  When I did the embossing I left about a 1/2" at the bottom end out of the folder so it would give me a smooth place to stamp my sentiment. I just love the look of the embossing on the white card stock. The embossing folder is a special order fold and isn't stocked in the store. There are several Cuttlebug Embossing folders that are carried in the store.

I used my ATG gun to adhere the mat layers together. I used some foam squares to add my hippo to the front of my card and some Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive to add the little shamrocks. Finally I stamped my sentiment with some Mowed Lawn Distress Ink.
