Design Team Posts

It’s hard to believe that almost 3 and a half years ago, I was given a great privilege and asked to be part of this amazing team; and now I am writing the final Design Team post! 

Tracy here from the idea closet.  What an amazing three years it has been.  Because we are a team, I decided for today’s post I wanted to share some of my favorite project, and what I have learned, from our current team members.

 Last Christmas, Lisa (who I might add, loves all things Disney- maybe even more then I do), made this beautiful Christmas display.  I love everything about this Centerpiece.  Lisa has a great talent for combining elements from different files to make something stunning.


Cyndy, was one of the first team members who reached out and welcomed me when I first joined the team.  One thing you may or may not know about Cyndy is she also designs some of the files for SVG Attic.  

Probably one of my most favorite projects from Cyndy is this beautiful Wind Mill. 
3D paper windmill
  


Helle is the newest member to the team and if you haven't followed her, you are missing out!
Helle has a way with color and all of her projects are stunning!  One of my favorites is her 3D barn. 
She also knows how to use embellishments, look at the flowers on this project. 

 


Sonja and I started on the design team at the same time.  I had no idea how talented she was then, but I know it now!  Its hard to pick a favorite Sonja project because everything she does is amazing.  She puts her whole heart into every project.  But I think of all of them, I love this Patriotic Cowboy boot most of all. Part of that might be because I love paper flowers and this project has some beautiful ones.





And then there is Beth, our Design Team coordinator and cheer leader! I would also call Beth the Queen of Cards.  She makes some of the most amazing cards you will ever see.  I have personally been the recipient of some of these cards and I will cherish everyone of them.  They are truly made with love. 
I chose this Dinosaur card, just because it makes me smile every time I see it.



And last but definitely not least is Jodi.  There are a few people who design files at SVG Attic but Jodi is the back bone, and if not for her, there wouldn't be any files for us to make. 
I first met Jodi a few years ago, when she would come into the Scrapbook store I worked at.  I didn't know who she was then, but I always thought she was a very kind person. As I have worked with her, I have come to realize she is not only kind, but warm and generous and crazy talented!

So which of Jodi's files are my favorite?  There is no way I can pick just one, so I picked the one I have probably made more than any other and that is the Travel Case.









I love this file, and have used it many times, in many ways.  In fact it was the file I "auditioned" with before joining the team.  

There have been many other Design Team members at SVG Attic, some I have had the opportunity to work with and others I have only admired from afar. 

And of course the owners, Mike and Kenzie.  Thank you!!!

I will forever be grateful for the friendship, encouragement and learning I have received by being a part of this great team.  I wish all of you the best in your future endeavors.

Finally to you, our followers. Thank you for being with me/us on this journey.

Magical Unicorn Box Card with Beth

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today.  It is such a bittersweet post to write as it will be my last as part of this 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.
You can stay in touch with me and see my future projects on my blog, Beth's Beauties.
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Valentine Heart Treats with Beth

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today.  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!

Shaped Rose Card

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today.  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!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today.  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!

Shaped Snowman Card with Beth

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here today.  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 with Beth

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 with Beth

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today.  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!

Tiny Treat Boxes with Beth

Hello everyone!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today.  I created these tiny treat boxes using SVG Attic's Mini Treat Place Card file.
The original file creates a box that is only 1.25" tall, but I enlarged these just a bit so they could hold a little more.  The papers I used are all from DCWV's Red & White Christmas stack.  The design is super simple to assemble, but directions can be found HERE if you need them!
The tags are included with this file and I stamped them with VersaMark ink and sentiments from APB Merry & Bright stamp set.  I heat embossed them with silver glitter embossing powder for a bit of sparkle and shine.  I then tied them to the wrap around the box with Peppermint Stick and Stormy Trendy Twines.  Inside the boxes I added money and Hershey's Kisses.  These will make great stocking stuffers for Christmas!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
