Celebrate Winter Birthdays

Tracy here from Idea Closet. I hope you had a very nice Christmas and a great start to the new year.

I don't like winter ,and I really don't like the cold, but January and February are full of birthdays at our house so we still have lots of celebrating to do.

To get started on the birthday card list, I made two winter cards to help celebrate.

The first card is the Sled 3D Gift Card Holder and is part of the JGW Made of Snow Collection. 
I love this card and it is super easy to put together.  

On the underside of the sled is an envelope to hold a gift card.  

Makes a great gift, big or small for someone special.

I used wood printed paper for the top of the sled and then tied red twine to the steering bar.

Next is the Snowman Box Card.

I love box cards because they can be folded flat for mailing and then displayed on a desk or shelf.

I cut the arms and the roof to the house from the same wood printed paper.

To add a little interest to the Snowman I added glitter to the bottom of each panel.

I also chalked up the cheeks a little bit.

To finish my little snowman, I tied a scarf around his neck using the same red twine. 

Both cards together would make a great little gift or use them separately.

Thank you for joining me today and stay warm.

Can't get enough Unicorn Cards

If you have not seen the new Magic Kit you are missing out.

Tracy here from Idea Closet.  Last week I showed you a couple of Unicorn projects and today I am sharing two more  cards from this great kit!

If you love easy but beautiful cards, you really need to try some of the A2 Trio Cards.

This Unicorn and Stars card is beautiful and works up so easily.

Because I can never leave anything alone or the way it was designed, I had to change things around to create my own look.

First I created a background panel for the card and then I added the eyelashes, heart and flowers from the Shaker card to the unicorn on this card.

By using some small foam pop dots you can give the head a little dimension. 

Look how tiny your digital machine can cut; that is a dime sitting next to those flowers. 

I used my Silhouette Cameo but the portrait or the Cricut can do just as small.  

(I did add the center of the flowers with a sharpie marker.)

To add these details you will need to copy them from the shaker card and then shrink them down to fit your card.

The second card I did was the shaker card but I didn't make it a shaker card, and I used the head from the Trio card instead of the one that came with this file.

To make the head, copy from the other file and resize.  

Deletet the original head,  one of the eyelashes and one heart.

For the flower centers I used little stick on epoxy dots.

For the inside of the card I first made a panel.

Next I printed the words instead of cutting them and  used the sentiment label to create my own print and cut.

Delete the shaker rings and place the printed label on the inside of the card, making sure the words peak through the window.

It doesn't matter if you use the cards as they come, or change them up a bit, you will end up with some "magical" cards that any little unicorn lover will be please to receive.

Rosette Cards with Lisa

Hi and welcome, everyone! Lisa, from The Relativity of Paper, taking over the blog today with a few cards featuring these beautiful Rosette A7 cards.  I started out making one and decided I had to make another card featuring this very unique rosette. 

 For the Easter card, I used the rosette, label, and banner from this file. 

I cut the rosette using Authentique 12 x 12 Micro Basics, the label and banner are cut from #110 Neenah cardstock, the Egg is cut from Doodlebug Paper. I used the negative from the egg cutout to add Distress Oxide Wilted Violet to the label to layer the egg over. Finished off with sentiment and a few gems. The egg can be found in the Silhouette Design Store under Snapdragon Snippets - 9 Easter Eggs. All this is layered on an A2 card base. The purple mat is Doodlebug Paper cut to size.

This is the card that started this well, actually, I've been dying to use this paper, MME In Bloom Kit, for a while now and I knew it would pair perfectly with this elegant Rosette Card.

This is the actual A7 card base that is included in the file cut from #110 Neenah Cardstock, matted with MME In Bloom, the labels are black cardstock and MME In Bloom, the rosette was cut from the MME In Bloom along with the circles atop the rosette. I finished it off with a sticker from the kit and black enamel dots.

I hope you'll give these cards a try. I think you will be surprised how easy they come together. 

As always, thanks for joining us.

Christmas Cards made with Tags

It happens every year.

No matter how organized I think I am, there is another gift to buy, another party to go to or another

 co-worker  gift to get. 

Tracy from the Idea Closet and today I am sharing two cards I made using files from SVG Attic.

The poinsettia ornament card is a great way to use up some of those scrap papers you have from past projects. 

For the middle of the poinsettia I used a pearl epoxy sticker.  

Use some of your twine to tie the ornament to the front of the card. 

The recipient can use the ornament for a tag (if they want to take the card apart.)

The Gingerbread Cookie card is made the same way. 

Use foam pop dots to add lots of dimension.

There are 12 little tags in this collection.  Think of all the fun cards you can make!

Sunflower Card and Print and Cut with Tracy

Sunflowers are a sure sign of Fall and right now I am seeing so many projects with them I decided I had to do a couple myself.

Tracy here from the Idea Closet and

for today's project , I decided to do the Sunflower Easel Card.  

The file comes from the JGW Sunflower Sunshine Collection

.


I also wanted to try something different with the files ...



... So next I created a print and cut tag using one of the flowers from the easel card and the tag and words from the sunflower gift card.
It wasn't hard to do if you know how to set up Print then Cut in your machine's software.



So many fun things can happen when you combine and play around with files.

Tropical Box Card

Summer is in full force now and it is a little toasty. 

I can't help but think of warm, sunny beaches, flip flops and the sand.

Tracy here from the Idea Closet and today I created this fun, bright box card.

I love this card.  It can be found in the  JGW Tropical Haven Collection at SVG Attic.

and the assembly instructions  can be found here.



One of the things I love about this card is it includes some of my favorite summer items.
The other thing I love about it, is the bright colors;



but my favorite part about this card, and all box cards, are they fold up so nice and are perfect for mailing.  Even with all the foam pop dots I used!

I hope you will give box cards a try, if you haven't already, and this Stay Cool Tropical box card is perfect!

Graduation Box Card with Roses.

Are you still looking for a  nice graduation card?

Tracy here from the Idea Closet and I have the answer.

Today is my turn on  SVG Attic and I made a Box Card combining shapes from two different files.

Start by using the Grad Box Card from the SDS Grad Party collection

The file has three years to choose from including 2017.  There are also lots of extra pieces you can add to your project.

I chose not to use the balloons because I wanted to make my card a little more elegant.

I replaced the balloons with some of the roses from the
JGW Flower Box card Bouquet Collection



The Roses fit perfectly in the Graduation box without resizing.
I used tab 2 (4 roses) for the back,  and two of tab 1. (numbers are on the pieces)



Next, use Foam Pop Dots to add the flowers to the back of the different tabs and fill in the box.



To finish use gold card stock for the sign and bow on the diploma and gold foil vinyl to add the numbers and the word congratulations.

The best part of these card boxes is they fold up for mailing.
Perfect for those who are celebrating away from you.

Now it's your turn!

Flowers Easel Card with Angeline

Hi scrappy friends :)

Angeline here to share with you an easel card I made using the JGW Sunflower Sunshine kit.

I kinda changed the flowers up a bit, but doing only 1 layer and then coating it with Nuvo crystal drops and adding a glitter button to it's centre. I also drew some lines and dots with my Gelly roll pens and added some bling to the leaves.

I then added an extra piece of patterned paper (2 layers of it) to back of the flowers to provide additional support since my buttons were pretty heavy :) I also added some grass die cuts to the front of the flower pot for some extra dimension.

Mother's Day Card and Tag

Tracy from the Idea closet here again.  Today is my turn to share on SVG Attic's Blog and with Mother's Day this week, I thought it would be a good time to make a card from my new favorite kit from SVG Attic and Jodi.

The only problem was I couldn't decide which one I wanted to make so I made two!

I had some paper from My Minds Eye that was waiting for the perfect project and these cards were definitely it.

I love the little bits of gold in the paper and decided to use it as one of my main colors.

To make the tag I  used a rounded 3x4 journal card from the paper collection.  

Next I drew a small mat for the card by drawing a rounded rectangle and sizing it to 3.125"x4.125" and cut it from a metallic gold card stock.

Add brads from the collection and finish it off with a big gold ribbon.

Because the journal card runs horizontal, I turned the tag to the side as well. 

I can't wait to add this to a gift!

The Mother's Day step card has lots of pretty layers. 

The file comes with a print and cut option for the words in the tag and lots of extra pieces as well.

To create the word Hello and the ribbon pieces on the side. cut them from Cricut's Gold Foil Vinyl.  

Add more brads from the paper collection and you will have a beautiful card.

If you haven't had a chance, check out the Mother's Moments Kit from Jodi at SVG Attic. 

I love everything about it and think I am going to make the Secretary box next!

Spring Cards with Tracy

I don't know about you but I am ready for spring!

Tracy here with the Idea Closet. A couple weeks ago, in Utah, we got a little teaser  of beautiful spring weather... and then yesterday I was shoveling sidewalks again.

Yep I am ready for warm weather and flowers poking their heads up in my garden.

For today's post  I decided to make some spring cards

I had some beautiful paper by Bo Bunny: Butterfly Kisses, that was perfect for the cards.  The paper is kind of a watercolor floral design and it also included some very pretty stickers.

For the first two cards I used the JGW Beautiful Blooms kit.

The first card has lots of layers so I didn't really change anything about it.  I did add an inset panel to the front of the card but everything else is just as it is designed to be.
I love the little swirly leaf.
Add some thin twine to the button center and ink up the edges to give this card a very soft look.



Next is the Easel Card.  Jodi has easy to follow instructions here.  This isn't as hard as it looks.
On the tag I replaced the original heart with one of the pretty stickers I had in the paper kit.



The last card is not in the Beautiful Bloom kit but is also one of Jodi's designs and can be found on the Silhouette store.
I omitted the original flower centers and went with the paper buttons again.
I also added another sticker from the paper collection.

I am so happy with all of the cards.
I may only see snow outside my window, but with these cards I can share some beautiful flowers with my close friends.

You are my cup of Tea Patch card with Angeline

Hi crafty friends.

Angeline here to share with you a card I made using the brand new JGW Sewn from the Heart kit.

I used the Cathedral Window 9-patch card and instead of folding the circles inwards, I did it outwards to create a different look. I also chose different patterned papers from the same collection so it would look cohesive.

Then I added some stamps from Sweet Stamp Shop, which I have already stamped, fussy cut and colored withy my copics.

Here's a close up of my card!

Love Movie Box Card with Angeline

Happy Monday.

Angeline here to share with you a valentine card I made.

Since it is also the (movie) awards season, I thought it would be fun to make a love movie box card using CG Box Card set.

I had fun piling up all the elements, and I added lots of fun details too.

Here's a side view of how the box card looks like!

Unity Stamp also recently came up with a new stamp "Right Words of Love", which I think fits perfectly for this card. Reminds me of those black-and-white movie!

I also colored in the popcorn and drink, added washi and coupons to the box card too.
