February 27th- Use Two different Punches or Dies Challenge

For this Challenge all we have to do is create a Card/Project, featuring  TWO different Punches or Dies. From what I have observed, mine is just a little different.  Instead of placing the image on a die cut, I placed a matted oval frame over the image, and than placed a punched out Butterfly in one corner.

 

Teen Romance

The card base was already done so used the image to go with, but next time I create this card, I will use a colored card stock for the base.  When I use this for a birthday card, I will do some more tweaking on inside of card...add a poem on inside front , along with a sentiment on outside as well as inside with some dainty flowers stamped in a corner or two.  

The digital stamp is available at:

Golden Retriever by Lauren Curtis

This week we are show casing Art by Lauren Curtis - Anything Goes and I chose this image to work with....

 

Golden Retriever 

in Memory of Carter, female Retriever own by my daughter-in-law, Tricia.

She was actually reddish-blonde, and since I don't own a coloring marker of that color, I used the Stampin! Up marker, Creamy Caramel and Stampin! Up Blushing Blossom for the tongue.  Created the tag with my Silhouette Cameo Studio Designer software and cut out with the Cameo as all of my cut files are.  Cardstock is from a stash I have...actually the card was to be used for another image, but used for this one.  My sister suggested two shades of brown for the frame around the circle, and I added the two brads in corners.  

The digital stamp image is available here:

Challenge #26 Black & White and one other color

For this challenge I chose the image Shirt and Tie Card from http://www.platypuscreekdigitals.com.  I left the shirt white, and before printing out on white card stock, I inserted my son-in-law's name on the tag on the pocket.  Colored the tag a light gray copic marker, and the tie I used a purple copic marker, and with the white gel-pen I hand drawn strips diagonally across the tie.  Added two black brads to the corner of the collars.  Matted it with black card stock and placed on white card stock.  Before adding the matted pieces, I used black and white polka dotted washi tape along the side edge of front of the card.  Stamped 'happy birthday' in right lower corner and will finish in about six weeks for son-in-law's birthday which I will attached to a jar of home made freezer peach jam.

Thank you for stopping by and hugs to all.

Easter Layout for Creative Cutting Challenges

Welcome to our Easter - Not a Card Challenge over at .creativingcuttingchallenges.blogspot.com

 The title is Easter Headings from Creative Pointe.

The Bunny is from Scrapping Bug Designs set titled Cute as a Bunny.

I used egg files from a stash that I had saved on my hard drive, plus the grass file is from the MTC Gallery which I downloaded and joined three sections together and enlarged. 

Paper is from Stampin Up and paper I recently purchased at Joann Fabrics.

This will be for my great-grandson's scrapbook for a Easter page and will make another for his baby sister, Carson and Isabella.

Fun and quick project to do.

Thank you for stopping by, and hugs to all.

BAP #5 Heart Box

 

Hearts Box

will be available

at http://www.creativekuts.com

This week's BAP #5 is a Heart Box which can be made any size you woud like.  I enlarged on a 12x12 piece of cardstock and sprayed adhesive onto the back of the design paper onto cardstock.  I cut out hearts in different shapes and attached to the inside of the hearts at the top of the box.  Tied it with a piece of cording and now it can have candy or special treat added inside.

Thank you for stopping by, and hugs to all.

Chick Card from Crop-on-Line Cards

Chick Card from Crop-on-Line Cards

This is one of two shaped cards from Crop-on-Line Cards with 

http://www.creativekuts.com

using my Silhouette Cameo and SCAL3 to cut this easy peasy file.  The sentiment was printed out on my Cameo as well, and than placed the tag over the sentiment and cut it out, giving me the above results.  I colored in with a purple gel pen.  And I used a button from my stash for the center of the flower.  Now I believe the 'wiggly' things could be placed under the feet to make them wobble, but I don't have any on hand so glued in place. I also colored in the beak with a clear gel pen to give it a glisten look.

Thank you for stopping by, and have a super, duper weekend wherever you are at.

Birthday Card Challenge at Creative Cutting Challenges

Tea Cup Card

Here is a Tea Cup for a birthday, invitation or anniversary card which is a svg cut file available at

The Creative Pointe for purchase.

Card stock used:

Stampin Up

Wal-mart

Using the Silhouette Cameo Studio Design Edition, I created a print and cut of the tea bag tag and the flowers I printed on yellow cardstock and using the same software, print and cut the cup shape.  Taking the flowers I print and cut from the MyMemories Suite software.  I 'attached' the string by a colored staple to the tag and glued the string to the card.

I love this card; and will be used for either my niece or daughter-in-law ... both have birthdays in March.  I will stamp a sentiment inside before mailing.

Have a blessed day, and thank you for stopping by.

Pretty Party Time Challenge #25

Pretty Party Time - Keep it girly and pretty and create a female birthday card or party invitation.

This is girly...a flower pot of flowers for a family or friends birthday....

 

I created the flower pot from a cut file found here:   platypuscreekdigitals.com

The flowers look like Mums once put together and I inserted a brad in the center to hold the pieces together.  The leaf file I found on the Gallery of cut files on Make the Cut software.  A very easy cut file for your electronic cutting machine, and makes a lovely card for a Birthday, Anniversary, or can be used as invitation.  

Thank you for visiting with me today, and hugs to all.

 

Tunnel Card

 .

Front of card

Inside Card

Over at creativekuts.com a new Crop-on-Line has been started creating cards.  First one is a Plaque Tunnel Card.  The embellishments are included in the kit and we can decorate anyway we would like.  I like butterflies so I hand punched 2 butterflies from a Martha Stewart hand punch of 3-layered butterfly.  I used only 2 of the 3 butterflies and layered on the front of the card in a mat that I saved from the cut file.  I included beads on the center of each butterfly, and a gem stone on the two corners.

Inside of the card...I printed the Happy Birthday sentiment on my Silhouette Studio Design Edition and print and cut the tag/mat and placed in the center of the card along the scored line.  Framed the opening with the paper that was used on the sides...and than folded along the score lines and adhered to the card.  You can see the tunnel effect...I had made this card in one of Creative Kuts weekly BAP's last summer.

Each Crop-on-Line Card has 3 files, and when we complete one file, we post to their Facebook Fan page, and than request the next file.  And also included will be a extra gift for participating.  

Thank you for stopping by, and hugs to all.

And now to Wal-mart to get some crafting supplies as I have a Bear School Desk Mini-album for Crop-on-Line to put together....
