First Communion Scrapbook Layout

Hello all! Today I am sharing a scrapbook layout that I created for First Communion. It was a labor of love to paper piece the chalice and grapes. 

Here is a list of the patterned papers I used: Craft Smith Heritage paper pad, DCWV Mercury Glass stack, Recollections Modern Bouquet paper pad, and The Paper Studio Glam Glitter paper pad. The chalice area was cut on my Silhouette Cameo using file #74695 First Communion Chalice Flat Card. It was also a file in SVG Attic Communion of Faith set if you have those files! I embossed the chalice with a Darice cross embossing folder. The stamp on the bottom of the page was a wood mounted stamp from Hobby Lobby and was stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. Embellishments include white satin ribbon and Park Lane adhesive gems. Adhesives used include ATG, foam tape, and Bearly Art precision glue. The white and black layers of the First Communion words were created with adhesive vinyl. I love making the headings for layouts with vinyl! It is so much simpler and cuts cleaner than paper.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

T-Rex Shaped Card

Hello all!  Just a quick post from me today of this adorable dinosaur card I made for one of my nephews.  The svg I used is from SnapDragon Snippets.  Or if you have the retired SVG Attic set called Dino Party it can be found in there too.

I used BoBunny patterned paper for the card itself, then accented with solid colored cardstock.  The circles on the cheeks were simply punched with circle punches.  I also added brown chalk ink around the edges of the cut pieces to add some visual interest.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Birthday Cupcake Candle Holder

Hello and happy Friday!  Today I wanted to share this cute candle holder that I recently made for one of my sons' teacher's birthday.

I used SnapDragon Snippets' file #230364 in the Silhouette store and my Cameo to create it.  It was very simple to assemble.  I used red line tape for a secure hold.  The tag was tied to the top with Lime Grapesicle Trendy Twine.

The papers I used are from The Paper Studio's Birthday Extravaganza stack.  The candle I placed inside is meant to look like a cupcake.  It was from Dollar Tree!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Magical Unicorn Box Card

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Today is my day to post on the SVG Attic blog.  It is such a bittersweet post to write as it will be my last as part of that AMAZING team.  The owners of SVG Attic have decided to focus their energies on their family and other commitments (as it should be!) and close the SVG Attic/SnapDragon Snippets store at the end of February.  The good news is, their designs will still be available in the Silhouette Design Store and they sell SVG files there now too, so that will be an avenue to still get their beautiful designs.  Being part of their Inspiration Team as coordinator for the last 5 years under their ownership (and being part of it even before that) has been such a rewarding experience filled with beautiful friendships and much generosity.  It will be greatly missed <3

Now onto my final project...I decided to do something that would be forever memorable to me.  It isn't something huge or crazy involved, but will be close to my heart always.  I used the JGW Unicorn Magic Kit (SVG Attic store) or Unicorn Rainbow 3D Box Card #270072 (Silhouette Store) to make a first birthday card for my sweet baby girl.  Her birthday isn't until July, but this way it will be ready to give to her when the time comes :)

The majority of the papers I used are from Craft Smith's Stay Magical paper pad.  I added a little extra sparkle to different areas with a clear glitter Wink of Stella pen.

I also used papers from DCWV's 6x6 Whites and Gold Foil stacks for the clouds an clear acetate on the layers with the sun and rainbow.

Adhesives include ATG, tacky glue, foam tape, red line tape and Glue Dots (for the acetate).  I embellished the front with heart and star brads!

Here is a view of the card folded up flat so it can be mailed, or in my case, scrapbooked.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Valentine Heart Treats

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Today is my day to post on the SVG Attic blog.  Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I wanted to make something for my boys to give to their teachers for the occasion.  The Heart 3D Shaped Mini Candy Box file was perfect!

I used papers from DCWV's Romantic Life stack to create them.  Jodi has a quick tutorial HERE if you have any questions on assembly, but these are very quick to make!

I used 3 sheets of paper, but since the paper is double sided, I was able to use the back side to accent if I desired!

My boys wrote their names on the tags and I tied them on with various colors of Trendy Twine.  I used Tacky glue to assemble the hearts with a bit of foam tape behind the heart accent with hexagons on it.  I was able to fit 2-5 stick packs of gum in each of these for a little treat for the teachers.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

March 11 Not Just Cards Challenge

Rose Shaped Card

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Today is my day to post on the SVG Attic blog.  I am starting on my Valentine's Day cards with this project.  The file I used is called Fancy Rose Stem Shaped Card from the Pushing Petals kit.  You can find a tutorial for the assembly HERE.

 I kept the file the original size and cut it out of papers from The Paper Studio's Country Road paper pad for the flower and solid cardstock for the rest of the cuts.  I added Glitter Pink Pearl Pen dots on the flower and inked all the cuts with brown chalk ink.

 I used the included "love you" sentiment, but there are several other banner sentiments to choose from on the SVG Attic website including "sweetheart", "God bless", "valentine", and "get well".  I wrapped some Pinkberry Sorbet Trendy Twine around the stem and tied it in a bow for a little more sweetness.

 The bud area opens on the back side to reveal an area for writing a note.  It is such a sweet card!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

New Glasses Ornament Card

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Today is my day to post on the SVG Attic blog.  I chose to make a card that has a detachable ornament for my sweet 3 year old niece who just got her first pair of glasses!  The file I used is the Sun Glasses Flowers Ornament.

I chose papers from DCWV's Glitzy Glitter and Girlhood stacks to make it bright and cheerful.  I sized the ornament to 4.125" wide so it would fit well on the front of my A2 card base.  I added a line of removable Glue Dots to the back so the ornament can be taken off the card and hung up or just simply played with :)  

The other products I used on this card include polka dot brads, ATG, Tacky Glue, Raspberry Cupcake Trendy Twine and a Pearl Pink Pearl Pen.  The finishing touch was stamping the date she got her glasses on the ornament.  I really hope she likes this card :)

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Die Cuttin Diva's

Shaped Snowman Card

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Today is my day to post on the SVG Attic blog.  I have some thank you cards to send out after the holiday season, so this is one of those cards that I will be mailing.  The card file is from SVG Attic's Winter Illuminations kit.

This card was very easy to assemble!  I opted to use the front panel without the stitching holes.  I used patterned papers from DCWV's Blue Noel stack and a ribbon for the scarf.  Adhesives used include Scotch Tacky Glue and Glue Dots Glue Lines (for the ribbon).  I also stamped a sentiment from APB Let It Snow stamp set in black in the lower left corner.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Christmas Hair Bow

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Today is my day to post on the SVG Attic blog.  This is a very busy time of the year for me, as it is for many of you, I am sure!  The project I am sharing today is a little different than usual.  It is a Christmas bow made out of felt for my baby girl!

I started out by picking the colors of felt that I wanted to make the bow out of.  The glitter gold is not actually felt, but is found by the felt in my craft store.  It worked well in the same way as the felt did for my project.

Next, I cut pieces of the Bow 3D Lattice 2 Layer file (is also part of the Decorated Large Tote Gable Box file) out of Reynolds Freezer Paper.  The parts of the file that I used were the solid bow and the straight tails.  I also broke apart those pieces in my software and deleted the holes that were in the original files so I was left with the following pieces:

The measurements for the pieces above were (top to bottom) 5.25" wide, 4.5" wide, 3.75" wide, and 2.75" wide.  The next step was to iron the freezer paper shiny side DOWN onto the back side of the felt.  Use medium low heat on your iron (or a polyester setting) and use a thin pressing cloth.  You know it is heated enough when the freezer paper sticks to the felt.

Here are all of the pieces ironed onto the felt.

Next, using a scissors, cut around the freezer paper templates.  Gently peel the freezer paper off of the felt.  Your pieces will look like this:

Using a hot glue gun, add a dot of glue to the center of the bow, fold in one end, then repeat for the other side of the bow.  Assemble each bow piece the same way, then use hot glue to build the bow from the bottom up, starting with the tail piece, then largest to smallest bow piece.  I tied a piece of gold ribbon around the assembled bow and added a Christmas button to finish it off.

Here it is on my little sweetheart!  Now she is ready for Christmas!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Laurel Wreath Impossible Card

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Today is my day to post on the SVG Attic blog.  I am sharing my version of the SVG Attic Laurel Wreath Impossible Card.

These cards are quite simple to make, once you realize how they are made!  Jodi has a great tutorial HERE if you get stuck.  I used patterned papers from DCWV's Red & White Christmas stack and solid papers from DCWV's Flipside Christmas stack.  The leaves are inked with dark green chalk ink and the embellishments include an organza bow and red Stickles.  I used Scotch tacky glue to assemble the card.

 I added a stamped sentiment from the APB Merry Christmas stamp set.  Now it is ready to send to someone special for Christmas!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Christmas Treats with Annie's Paper Boutique

Happy Monday!  The Trendy Twine DT is showcasing some fun Christmas treat projects today that use Annie's Paper Boutique stamps.  Hop on over to the Twine It Up! blog for all the inspiration!

I started with a Mini 4oz. Cup and wrapped it with paper from DCWV's Blue Noel stack.  I used Scor-tape to adhere it to the cup to make sure it would stick well!

I decorated the top with a die cut and stamped a sentiment from the APB Let It Snow stamp set in a 1" circle for the top.  A few Peppermint Icicle Sequins adhered with Glue Dots and the top was done!

I wrapped Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine around the lid of the cup then let two strands hang.  To those, I attached die cut mittens from SVG Attic.  They are sized at 2" tall.  Then I added the "cold hands, warm heart" sentiment from the APB Let It Snow stamp set to a banner and tied it to the lid with two jingle bells and more of the Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine.  I also added the negative die cut of the snowflakes from the mittens on the sides of the cup and more of the Peppermint Icicle Sequins for a finishing touch.

Here's what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:
