Vintage Watering Can

Spring is here and I am ready to go play in the garden.

Tracy here and today is my turn to post on the SVG Attic blog and what could be more fitting for spring then a vintage watering can?

I am so happy with the way this turned out.  

I used paper from Pink Paislee and the  Hex shaped watering can from the 

SDS Watering Wishes collection

To create this project, 1st open the Hex shaped watering can and double the size.

(mine stands almost 8" tall and is 11" wide from the handle to the spout)

Once the can is glued together and before you add the optional access pieces, ink everything up with a tan ink.

Cut two of the flat daisies, without changing the size.

Ink them as well.

The can needed a couple of butterflies so I used the two from

Easter Elements file.

To finish it off, tie some twine around the spout.

I can't wait to place this project up on my shelf in my kitchen. 

3D Dressmaker's Mannequin

Tracy with the Idea Closet today and I can't tell you how excited I am for today's project!

I love dress forms.  I collect the mini's and have them in my craft room.  They are perfect for hanging jewelry, tags and little cards on, plus they are just fun to look at.

Imagine how excited I was when I saw this beautiful 3D Dressmaker's Mannequin on the SVG Attic site.  Instant LOVE!!!

This is part of the JGW Just Sew collection and the entire set is amazing.

The instructions for putting the Dressmakers Mannequin together  can be found here.

I started with Black card stock and pretty pink and black printed card stock so she would match my craft room.

There are so many fun details to this mannequin and I want to share them all.

First you can make the mannequin as is- without the cage skirt.  Just on its own it is striking.

The base is one of my favorite parts of the Mannequin.  It is wrapped around a wooden dowel and then lots of layers.

I embossed the top decorative layers and not only is it sturdy but very realistic looking.

The Cage Skirt is a perfect addition!

Follow the instructions Jodi has here for the skirt.

And here is a bonus tip for you.

I started on the skirt and realized I did't have any black embellishment so I got out some  left over rhinestones and colored them with a black sharpie marker.

WaLa-- Black rhinestones-- or any color that you need. 

 (The black sharpie even covered the blue ones)

The skirt file comes with a bustle and a lacing packet for the back. 

I added the ribbon around the waist as well.

While working on this project, I kept thinking how pretty if would be with some flowers cascading down the neck and torso. 

The G is for Gratitude collection had the perfect flowers I needed.

I scaled the flowers from the gift box down by about 50%, cut them out, inked them, and then layered them. 

Place another colored rhinestone in the middle and you have a beautiful flower to finish the project with.

I think the possibilities for this dress form/ mannequin are endless and I will probably use it in countless ways!

Visiting Santa

Hello SVG Attic members! Guest Designer Sonja here. Today, I bring you a project using multiple SVG Attic files.

When I started brainstorming for ideas on what I wanted to do, I knew I wanted to use the Santa chair.

After I made the Santa chair, I took a look at my collection of SVG Attic files and I knew I had to do the train.

But wait, you cannot have the Polar Express without a working light! 

While making the train, it just came to me. Why not do a scene of what Santa's chair looks like when my children visit him! 

So what are the things you would see while visiting Santa? 

His boots of course! 

And what is Christmas without a tree and gifts below?! 

Santa has to check this twice so it is very important that we know where his list is! 

Now put it all together and what do you get? 

A happy Santa!

Thank you for taking the time to look at my project! I hope you have a very nice Christmas season and enjoy your time with your families!

Harvest Time

The colors, the smells, the chill in the air it all means one thing, harvest time! Hello SVG Attic fanatics! Guest Designer Sonja with Sugar Bean Cards here. I am honored to be a guest designer for such a great organization. I had a lot of fun making this project presented to you today!

Pumpkins, apples, corn, leaves, family gatherings are all the great things to remember what holidays are for! For this project, I used several files to compile one large autumn scene.

Giving thanks is a big association to this time of year! I felt the 'Give Thanks' pilgrims from the Harvest Blessing files was perfect!

 This pilgrim hat from SDS Pilgrims Prayer is one to fall (no pun intended) in love with! 

 A box card full of apples in a barrel from the Harvest Wishes kit is a perfect reminder to get working on those apple pies!

Down on the Farm

I can't believe how fast time flies.  As summer quickly approaches and temperatures rise, I am reminded of how much I have missed fresh tomato sandwiches!  My children love to visit Maple Spring Farms, it is one of our favorite outings.  In the spring we pick strawberries and in the summer we love their blackberries.  I also enjoy visiting the Farmer's Market.  My project today is in honor of all our local farmers, summer just won't be the same without you!

I used Down on the Farm and the square box from SDS Basic Deep Lid Boxes (without the lid).

I sized the box as big as it would go on my mat.  The finished size is 4x4.

Just the right size for the cube of foam I used to stick the tubes in.

I think the farm animals are adorable!  I love them all.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today.  Don't forget to thank your local farmer!

Do what inspires you,

Cyndy G.
