Creative Cutting Challenge - Fall Theme

I used The Creative Pointe cutting file: Pumpkin Patch and created a accordion style mini-album card, cutting the shape of the background barn for front and back covers.  And inside as square pages.  Here is photos of the accordion style mini-album/card...

  Pumpkin Patch cutting file

Front Cover

Using the Pumpkin Patch cutting file I used the back shadow as the cover base for both front and back cover cut out of poster board for stability.  I had a Thanksgiving napkin I purchased at Wal-mart that I had separated (2-ply) and ironed the top piece onto freezer paper, creating my own design paper.  Placed on a cutting mat, and using my Silhouette Cameo and the just the pumpkins  with the bard, I cut out very, very carefully (even though it's on freezer paper, the napkin tended to be   distressed on edges).  I adhered the napkin piece to the first layer that I had covered the poster board with.  Than, in my files I had a red-barn scrapbook page that I printed out using my Silhouette Studio DE software and cut out the title, Pumpkin Patch and layered on covered poster board again.

Inside pages

Using two cut files from misskatecuttables I printed and cut out as a sticker, placed them on poster board that was cut out using the shape of the png photo.  Both page 1 and the last page (4) the pumpkins from the Pumpkin Patch cutting file was cut out on poster board and than one I used some chalk from Daler Rowney Soft Pastels and colored in; the fourth page I used a marker set from one of my marker sets (don't remember which set it came from).  Once I have a little time, I will add a photo of my great-granddaughter, dress as BatGirl on one of the pages.

Here is the back cover....

 

Back cover

I covered the back poster board cover with paper I purchased from Hobby Lobby and this completes this project.  Now onto another part of my DT projects for Creative Cutting Challenges.. 

I have been playing around with digital scrapbooking lately along with Easy Pocket Scrapbooking .

 School House Cut File

Easy Pocket Page Scrapbook (digital)

 School House Cut File

Embellishments from Pixel Scrapper Digital Scrapbooking 

Back to School Apple Title from misskatecuttables (I believe)

I used Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for creating both scrapbook layouts; and have a file from MyMemories Suite and from Pixel Scrapper Digital Scrapbooking that are clear plastic pockets for easy pocket scrapbooking, in place of the actual pockets.  I placed the photos, elements and journal cards in my layout just like a actual plastic pocket layout, only digital.  Love it. 

I do have a School House Mini-album that I am creating, using the School House Cut File and will share that later.  Thank you for coming by to visit with me, and please head on over to Creative Cutting Challenges  for more inspiration.

Sam - only as Samantha Snowman

 

  SS-105 Sam Snowman

Here is another card topper using  SS-105 Sam Snowman acrylic stamp set.  I drew in eyelashes, hoping to give it the appearance of a Samantha.  Colored the scarf and cap a olive green, with a darker shade of green to create a striped  scarf.  I placed the stamped image onto Snowman design paper that I found in my stash of paper.  Than the sentiment was printed out and than punched with a scalloped circle and placed on a strip of paper that I made as a banner.  Placed on side using foam tap.  I matted with shades of blue card stock and than the design paper.  

Thank you for coming by for a visit, and happy crafting to you all

Mid-September Inspiration - Christmas Scene using Kraft

It is time for another inspirational card for Christmas All Year 'Round and I chose the stamps set from D.R.S. Designs for a card layout.

 

Snow Globe

Christmas Vilage Craft Store

Christmas Village Four in One Accessories

Sometimes I decide to use something that is sitting in my craft storage bin; and this time I dug out my, I don't know what you call it, but it makes the card base look corrugated like a cardboard box.  I had a left-over piece of red card stock in my stash I used to layer over the base.  Placed the cut out snow globe with the stamped images inside the globe to give it the appearance of a snowy-city.  Water colored the base of snow globe with distressed ink - Tea Dye which I love.  Placed a red ribbon over the base with silver brads on each end.  Also placed silver brads (Stampin! Up) on the 2 corners of red mat.  I stamped Merry Christmas from Teeny Tiny Words set by Stampin! Up and punched out with the word punch.  Added silver liquid pearls to represent snow flakes in the globe.

Thank you for stopping by to visit with me and hope I inspired you with my creation.  Happy crafting to all.

Halloween Mini-album

I finally finished the Halloween Mini-album last evening, and here is the results....

Halloween Mini-album

by Creative Kuts

The mini-album kit was supplied by Cheryl of Creative Kuts to those that would like to create this cute mini-album.  We started with the black base, than the pages we cut out and decorated.  From there we received the front and back cover cut file, cut out and decorated, along with the book binder.  The final cut file was the hat, pumpkin and cat.  

Since no eyes or mouth pieces was supplied, I thought, hmmm - I will use the movable eyes; and than using a dime I traced around the edge to get the mouth; and brackets for sides; and a squiggly line from the nose down toward the mouth.  And that completes the mini-album.
