Aged to Perfection

Hello - Helle here with a small post, just to show you a gift I made for my girlfriend and her husband.

She turnes 50 and he turned 60 this fall and we were invited to celebrate both.

 

So what do you make for such a couple? Well SVG Attic had the answer:

 

The Aged to Perfection kit contains among others this Wine Cask Gift Box and Vintage Card that I found to be perfect for the occasion.

 

I made the barrel in AC Cardstock and patterned paper from Simple Stories and added Jodi's grapes from the JGW Communion of Faith kit. Those grapes are a bit time consuming but once you get the idea of how they go together, it's just easy peasy.

 

 

 

The Vintage Card is also made from AC Cardstock and Simple Stories patterned paper. I quadrupled the numbers and added some rosegold foil for some shine. I also dotted the letters and stars with a white Sharpie.

 

 

The gift was money and I added a small pouch inside the card for them. Then I took some shredded wood and filled up the barrel along with some candies

 



 

And they loved it :-)

 

Thanks for stopping by today. Don't forget to write me a little something on your way out :-)

Wine Anyone?

Hello, and happy Monday! Tanya from Crafting on Caffeine here today. First of all you all know by now that I love my coffee! But at the end of the day sometimes it's nice to have a glass of wine.
I have being eyeing this Wine Cask from SVG Attic - Aged To Perfection for a while now and so when I saw someone make the grapes from JGW Communion of Faith I knew what I wanted to do! Hope you enjoy!

I am having so much fun using my eBrush on everything! I also used my Cut n' Boss to emboss the wood grain straps and the top and bottom of the barrel.  The grapes were a little time intensive but I think you will agree, totally worth it!  

I also used Trendy Twine's Twisted Lime and Purple Licorice

Thank you for stopping by. Check back soon and have a great day!

Introducing Inspiration Team member Carmen Lucero

Hello all!  My name is Carmen Lucero.  I am so honored to have been asked to be a member of the design team for SVG Attic.  I’m looking forward creating and hoping to inspire you to make projects using these awesome collections.  You can find some of my work here:  

Visionary Art by Carmen Alicia

My Flickr Photostream

I’ve been married to my best friend, who I met in high school, for 42 years. We are empty nesters and spend lots of time with our Chihuahua who keeps us company.  I have two grown children who are very creative.  My son is a drummer and my daughter is an artist, Yoga teacher and Massage Therapist.  

A bit more about myself...

            Born and Raised: Born in Mexico where I attended school and was obligated to make a sewing project every year.  I get my creativity from my mom.  She made my sister and I paper dolls and the furniture to go along with them.  Later she became a seamstress and made beautiful wedding dresses, then everything crafty.

            Places I've Lived: Mexico, Texas, Alabama, Washington State, Colorado, California, Arizona, New Mexico and now we are back in Texas.  I also spent a month in Bogotá, Colombia when I worked for the US government.  The best experience of my life!

            Style:  I don't really have one style, but I've been using SVGs since Sure Cuts Alot made its debut.     I use Make the Cut also along with my Cricut and Cameo to make 3D projects, greeting cards, and vinyl.  I also learned mixed media and oil painting so I try to incorporate everything I've learned in the past five years to my projects.  I love texture!

       
 First Project - Home Decor 

I selected this file to create my first project to share with you.

My favorite season is fall because of all beautiful colors, the great weather, and the longer hours available to play outside.

This Fall Home Decor was created with an older file

Autumn Splendor

I resized the flowers and the Fall rosette banner to fit this 11x14 canvas.  I used mixed media for the background and sprayed the flowers and the leaves with shimmery ink sprays.

In addition, when I saw the Aged To Perfection Svg File, I knew I had to make it. It's not a Fall project, but you can change it around to fit the season or occasion.  

Last summer, I went to visit my daughter in California and she took me to a small town called, Murphy.  It's a quaint little town with lots of wine tasting rooms.  We had so much fun!

I created a mixed media page using Faber-Castell gelatos, molding paste, stencils, and lots of texture.  I used a couple of Unity Stamps Company stamps and matted the picture on cork paper.

I hope I have inspired you to try your own hand at making a project with these collections and please post your creations on our Facebook pages.

Get crafty, my friends!

Introducing Inspiration Team Member ~ Courtney Lega

Howdy from Texas !

HI ~ I'm Courtney and I am a member of SVG Attic's I-team.

I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could.  

I was born in Winston Salem, North Carolina.  Moved to Texas at the age of 2.

I come from a loving and devoted family of 5. Mother and Daddy, my two sisters and me.  Our mainly girls only family expanded with a bunch of boys.  I've been married for 26 years, to my very own prince charming, and we have a darling little boy, Jack, 11 years old.

I have crafted for as long as I can remember.  I scrapbook, and love to make cards.  My passion of late, is making 3D paper crafts.  So imagine my excitement when I applied and got on the SVG ATTIC I-team.  A dream come true.  

My crafting style is whimsical and bright.  I like things clean and crisp and I always lean towards papers that are primary. 

One of my favorite SVG ATTIC projects is:

The files I used for this project are:

Perfect Picnic

and

Aged to Perfection

Have a fabulously crafty day ! ♥

Picnic in the Park

It's nearly summer and that means it's time for picnics. 

 I'm getting started a little early with my picnic.

I love this project and I hope you do too.

I used Perfect Picnic and Aged to Perfection for the cheese wedges.

I used enamel dots made by a friend who melted perler beads. 

 I just love the 2 color dots. 

 The basket, the fruit wedges, the cheese wedges and the wine bottle are all gift boxes.  They all open to house sweet treats or gift cards.

The basket is so cleverly designed and was fun to make.  I will definitely be making another.

Thank you for stopping by !!

Have a fabulously crafty day ♥
