So Stinkin' Cute

Here is another Valentine's Day swing card that I made my youngest son. He's always telling everyone they're "So Stinkin' Cute!"  The print and cut feature makes card making so easy!

 

Toad-ally Loveable

Happy Valentine's Day!! I've been busy in my craft room making cards for my kiddos and husband the last few days. Here is a swing card I made my son. I think it's Toad-ally awesome! wink emoticon

 

 

Teacher Gift

Today, I'm sharing a gift I created for my son to give to his teacher on the first day of preschool.  I wanted to go with an old fashion style and the paper piecings and paper were perfect!

 

 

The sticky note holder file was purchased from the silhouette store.  I decided that I really wanted to dress it up and the scrappydew files were exactly what I wanted!

 

 

To create this sticky note holder I used a couple files from Scrappydew Creations.  For the school building I used the Back 2 School 2012 set which can also be found in their vault. For the apple I used the Back to School 2013 set.  Scrappydew just came out with a new school file which has both a school building and an apple. So, which ever files you have will work perfectly! 

 

The school measures 3" and the apple measures a little more then 1".

Other products used: Back to Old School digital paper from etsy store and irock jewels.

Yappy Birthday

At what point do I say enough is enough with the card in a box? LOL! I just can't help myself and they're sooo easy to throw together. They're just so versatile and all kids love to receive them! My daughter was invited to her friend's birthday party and her friend asked for a donation to an animal shelter as her girft. So, I decided to use the Little Yorkie file at Scrappydew Creations to create this.

 

 

 

Yappy Birthday was created using the Lakesight font from dafont.com. I created this by making an offset and then using the print and cut feature in the silhouette software. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you ever wondered how you're supposed to write a little message on this style card or how to add a little money or gift card? Well, here is my solution to all this! I created a back panel to write a little sentiment on and also added a little pocket to add money or a gift card too.  This specific sleeve is item #23185 at the Silhouette store.

 

Baseball Card in a Box

In the hustle and bustle of planning my son's 7th birthday I totally forgot about his birthday card!! I couldn't understand why my son kept asking if it was ok to come into my craft room today. Then I realized he must have thought I was making his card!LOL!  He has been requesting a card in a box since I made my daughter's back in March.  After realizing what was going on I knew I had to get busy!  My son LOVES baseball and so I used the Scrap Factory Sports Expansion pack to create this card. 
 

 

I used the accessories from the Sports Expansion pack (ie glove, ball, bat) to decorate the card. 

 

Probably my most favorite of the card...I used a wood grain embossing folder and my cuttlebug to add the wood grain on the bats! I love the details it gave them! 

 

I did a print and cut Happy Birthday with an offset.  The font is Brannboll and is from dafont.com

Faux Stitching

 

I also added nesting stars to fill in some empty spots in the card.

Family Movie Night

Welcome to the Scrap Factory Brick People Blog Hop!

You’re sure to find some inspiration from the amazing projects created by our Design Team and Guests.

In the anticipation of the movie release I created a couple things for my kids to have a fantastic movie night!

First, I created some movie tickets using the Scrap Factory Brick People Expansion Pack.

To create the movie ticket I made a rectangle in my silhouette software that measures 2” x 5.7”.  I used digital paper to fill the rectangle.

From the Scrap Factory-Brick People Expansion Pack I assembled the Construction, Business, and Wild Girl Brick People in my silhouette software. The Construction Guy measures 2.75” and the Business Guy and Wild girl meausure 2.5”.  I arranged the characters within the ticket stub.

I used two fonts from dafont.com called New Bar Code and Brick to create all the information on our movie night.

Once all the designing was done I printed the tickets out on photo paper to make them seem more realistic.  I think my kids are going to love these!

Now, what’s a movie without popcorn? Thanks to Scrap Factory’s Brick People Expansion pack I have that all taken care of too!



I used a popcorn box file that I had from the silhouette store.  To begin with I opened 2 popcorn box files within my silhouette software.  One would be for the box and the other was going to be used to create a panel for the box.  I created a panel by cutting a side of the box off. I then did an Internal Offset creating the side panel.

I now filled the popcorn box with digital paper and printed and cut it with my silhouette cameo.  The finished box measures 6.75”.

Once, I had the panel done it measured 6.4”. I filled it with my digital paper. I then traced a city skyline image that I found on google. I placed the city in the background. 

I then placed the assembled Construction Guy measuring 2.75” and the Wild Girl measuring 2.65” in front of the city skyline.

Once everything was in place I selected and grouped all of the panel and print and cut.  I glued the panel to the side of the popcorn box and now my kids are ready for a fun filled movie night!
