Banner Valentine Card

  Valentines Day is just a couple weeks away and I am busy making my cards now.   The card above is a design by Dreaming Tree and easy to put it all together.  I thought I would try making one in black, red and gray for a more modern look.  Love is in the air!

Fan shaped Valentine 3D Box

                        Fan shaped valentine box design by  Dreaming Tree.  

                       Welcome to our World, Baby Liam ! !

 Congratulations to proud parents Samantha & Samuel on the birth of your beautiful & healthy son.  Liam decided he didn't want to be a Christmas Baby, nor New's Baby and chose his own birth-date.   Liam is my Great - Grandson and a little Angel. 

As you can see in the first picture on this page, I made a newly released design by Dreaming Tree- Valentine's Day box. I was quite impressed how well the pieces went together and the sturdiness of the finished project.  So I made another one but wanted it to be a memory box. 

The paper used is Graphic 45 Precious Memories Collection.   The finished box is about 11 inches in height.  Very nice size to store things into.  The box is perfect to keep your private things  and thoughts tucked away instead openly in a book.  My Grand Daughter seemed very pleased with it.  

Thank you for stopping by my blog!

Have a great week.

Boho Butterflies Bag and Vase

Above are 2 pictures of the 5 items in the svgcuts kit.  Boho Butterflies.  What fun it was making these!  Either project would make a nice gift for someone. 

The above gift bag was very easy to assemble.  Large enough to use as a catch-all on your desk.  Since I used solid paper for my butterfly; I shaded my project with my Copic markers.  The butterfly design is delicate but no problem cutting using my Silver Bullet machine. 

I enlarged the vase pattern so my completed vase is 6" by 9" and I love it!  A quick and easy project to make.  I used Bazzill Card Shoppe 100# paper, which I purchased from Star Lit Studio .  Check this online store out!  They give 5 star service, carry htf items and super-fast shipping!  I believe my total cost in making this vase was under $2.  I added some decorator stones and a t-lite.  

I am thrilled a new 3D svg design business is open online!  DREAMING TREE  and do they have some great designs!  Check them out and get your free design.  

Today I am finishing my Halloween treat bags and cards.  Will post soon.  Happy Fall and thank you for stopping by my Blog.

  The file above is Stinging Jack's Lantern from the Dreaming Tree store.   This design was EASY to make and I love the finished product. Completed project is an estimated 7.5 inch high and wide in size.  Use it as a table top design or hanging Halloween design.  The concept of printing the panels on vellum is GENIUS!  The picture above is the lantern sitting on top of a box (orange/black) so you can see the bottom easier.   Below is a closeup of the design.

                                                                               

This lantern is very sturdy when finished, and should survive many Halloweens!

I also made the Stingy Jack’s Halloween Lantern III and very pleased with the finished project.  See pic below.

Tiffany Like Paper Lamp- Crafts

Mary at Svgcuts has done it again with this design file.  WONDERFUL!  Was it time consuming to make?  Yes.  It took me 3 days, but I could have done it quicker.  What takes so long is the coloring of the velum tiles 3 or more times.  I never could figure an easier way to color as you need some opaque when finished.

Above is my finished lamp turned on.  I love it!  Inside the base is a 9" candle lamp. (electric)  I was surprised how few sheets of cardstock was needed.  Base: 2 sheets  Lampshade frame : 3 sheets  Lampshade tiles: 4 sheets vellum.  Glue.   This is from memory, so check your design before cutting it for supplies.  

I will be adding more files on my Etsy store site, so stop by and shop!  Scrapcuts by Judy

BABY CRIB & GOLF CART - BOX CARDS

How much fun is it to make a box card ?  ALOT and pretty easy!  The above cutting patterns are available at svgcuts. com for purchase.   These took very little time to assemble  and only 3-4 sheets of cardstock.
                                                                             

BABY CRIB  BOX CARD

This card is perfect for a baby shower or announcements!   It will easily fold up to put in an envelope.

My Silver Bullet cutting machine cut  this detailed design with no problems!!

                                                        GOLF CART  BOX CARD

This Golf cart card was fun to make and the perfect card for my husband, Pete.  We live in the Central Florida area; which is a hot-spot for retirees and golf carts!  We have many mobile / modular senior developments which golf carts are the preferred way to get around within the neighborhoods!  I am telling you now, don't mess with their golf carts either!  :)   Another svgcuts file.

I have added some new baby digital cut files on my Etsy store front this week.  Check it out and thank you for stopping by my blog!

Heritage Bedtime Castle

                                                 Heritage Bedtime Castle  

       

You may think this isn't a traditional gift for a baby, but it is!  Just bear with me.  This design is offered by Svgcuts.com   and the name of the file is " Bedtime Castle."  I hesitated to make this at first, as I thought it would take me years, but it was basically finished within a day.  

                                                                         

 Castle - 14.5" tall

Paper I used is Graphic 45 "Mother Goose"

I don't know about any of you, but I personally was not interested in my heritage until I was 50 years old.  I did remember a few family stories shared with me, but not enough information to pass on.  So in my spare time, I researched our family roots.  I just know by the time I am finished; there will be an app to scan your eyes and DNA using your phone and tell you immediately your family history ! UGH

Castle with lid removed

In the picture above, we moved the smaller towers lid section, which is covering a hidden box.   I am making a small sized family history book and will place it inside the castle box.  I will include pictures also of our Ancestors and notes.  This way my Grand-daughter will have the information needed and wanted to share with her children.   

Back View

     The vibrant colors represent the countries of our Ancestry. 

Front View

Again, this design is offered by Svgcuts.com   and the name of the file is " Bedtime Castle."

Cowboy Birthday Card

Isn't this a great card for a younger boy?  This design is easy as it gets and is another svgcut.com file.  This card took around 30 minutes to complete.

                                     The little Cowboy reminds me of my Great-Grandson Jed.

The patterned paper is by October Afternoon "Sasparilla".  October Afternoon paper is one of my top 5 papers to use.  Cuts like butter and just fun paper!  The downfall?  Hard to find. :(   I did find an online store which carries this htf line and at discount prices too!  I have ordered 4 times from this store and the service is 5 PLUS Stars!  I am paying  .75-.79 cents per paper which other places are charging .95-.99 cents a sheet.  I am finding hard to find designs/companies which is also a bonus.  And, what pride they take with their package preparation for shipping. Every order has been carefully packed and WRAPPED.  

 Below is a picture of my latest order.  Thank You to Starlitstudio.com.  Check out their store!

Have a great week and thank you for stopping by my Blog.

Teacher Appreciation Week 2015

                                                       

          Teacher Appreciation Week 2015   

                  

     May 04 - 08th is Teacher Appreciation Week and you still have time to make something for that special Teacher.  

My daughter Kimberly made this poster for her son's Teacher.  She took pictures of the students and had each child write why they appreciate their Teacher.  

                                                           

I cut the title letters 3 " tall and made some mustaches for her project .  ( my 5 minutes of time )  What a great idea to honor your Teacher !!   

                                Thank you for stopping by my Blog!

Spring Blossoms Lantern w/top

Spring Blossoms Lantern w/ Lid

As shown in earlier post below, making this design by svgcuts "Spring Blossoms"  is quick to make and you can alter it easily enough as I did above.  The original design is about 8 inches tall and no removable top.   I wanted a larger one with a removable top and was not disappointed when completed!  My lantern is 11.50 inches tall and I used the cherry tree with blossoms on the front.   I love using potpourri in my home and will add it to this lantern.  Great Mother's Day gift!!

Since I am using a flame-less 6 inch candle, I could add potpourri around the base.  I cut this using my Silver Bullet machine and a 45 degree detail blade.  Paper used is 65 weight.  I added pearls (faux) to top and rhinestones to the cherry blossoms and top of hanging lantern.  Have you seen the new video tutorial for  the tools you can use with the Silver Bullet?
