Cutie Patootie by Deanna M

Wow it has been a while since I have had time to make some projects to post on my blog! Work and life the to big roadblocks for crafting time.



I finally had a chance to spend some time crafting this past weekend. A good friend of mine from work recently became a grandma for the first time to a sweet and adorable baby girl. So this is what I made for her.

I used some dark pink Heat Transfer Vinyl and cut the words Cutie Patootie out and ironed them on to the front of this adorable floral onesie.



Of course I had to a card as well. I found this adorable blackboard a-frame blackboard card in the Silhouette store. The card fits in an A-2 perfectly. I made a couple of modifications to the card. I added some button brads to each corner. I stamped my sentiment with some Colorbox white pigment ink. The little banner items were strung across the card with some pink and white doodlebug twine.


Finally I made a little gift box to put the onesie in. I cut the base of the box out of white card stock. I then cut the decorative patterned paper layers out of some patterned paper from a K & Company paper pack that I have had for several years. I thought it turned out adorable and loved the look of the card.

Happy Father’s Day by Fran

 

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.

Dad Card by Deanna M

Father's Day is fast approaching so today I have for you a fun Father's Day card.  I found these ties in the Silhouette store that had the alphabet cut into them.  You can make the same card with your Cricut using the Simply Charmed cartridge. This cartridge has a tie image that you can cut. Then use your favorite font cartridge to cut the letters. This font reminds me a bit of the font on Birthday Bash. Need a cartridge, just contact Kim and she can special order you one.

My card base is Kraft card stock cut and scored to give me a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. I added a white mat cut at 4" X 5 1/4" and the patterned paper mat cut at 3 3/4" X5". I inked the edges of the two mats and the ties with some Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.

I cut my ties twice, Once out of white card stock with the letter. Then I cut the patterned paper tie. Both of these were cut at 1.15" X 3". I adhered the tie layers together than added the knot. I used a black gel pen to add some stitching to my ties. I then adhered them to my card with some foam squares. To finish the card I added some copper colored mosaic squares to each corner of the card.

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.

Valentine's Day card by Cindy

Hi everyone,
 I really like my card today and I hope that you do too. I used a cute bee cut that I got from the Silhouette store. It's so fun to make Valentine's Day cards and I didn't use the traditional red and pink paper so that was fun!

My paper is from My Mind's Eye and I got it in the Cutters Creek paper pad club. My sentiment is from Jaded Blossom. I also used some Kaiser Pearls and red stickles. If you are interested in any of the products that I used today be sure to visit the Cutters Creek Store.
Thanks for visiting today,
Cindy

Getting Organized (and a little washi tape)

While watching a ton of videos about how to organize my scrapbook room, I came across several videos about Filofaxes. I started watching them and decided it would be a good thing for me to try. My purse is always full of notes I write at work and they're always getting lost. I have a calendar in my purse,but it's not big enough to hold everything I need.  A filofax founded like the perfect solution.

In the videos people were decorating their planner pages and they looked adorable.  One of the main things they used to decorate is washi tape.  I just joined the Cutters Creek monthly washi tape club , so the timing was perfect. I used some washi and a few of my other scrapbooking supplies to start personalizing  my filofax.  I just started so it's still pretty lame compared to others I've seen, but I think I'll get there.  

Here is a video showing how I used my supplies in my filofax to help get you started. Now, filofax is just one brand of planner, you can use these techniques with any planner you have, you can even print out some of your own pages to use. For me, gettting organized is a must, but using all the supplies I already have to make getting organized cute and fun is a total bonus.
