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!

Tropical Paradise

…...is where I just returned from two days ago. 

Hello to you and Happy Sunday. I'm trying to rest from our fabulous Summer Vacation to the Balearic Islands in Spain - more specific Mallorca. Ahhhh it was fun and HOT.

I've tried to recreate the feeling in this project I'm about to show you. I'm starting to long back just looking at it - sigh.

First I made the Pineapple Box from SVGAttic's JGW Tropical Haven kit:

I used AC Cardstock in Lemon, Canary, Squash, Moss, Leaf and Pine and inked all the edges with Ingvild Bolme Chalk Ink. I also used 72 mini glitter brads for the scales.

Such a fun project but time consuming due to the scales on the Pineapple.

The Pineapple is a box and the lid lifts off and then…..

…..it doubles as a drink - Mmmmmm Piña Colada.

The Parasol Straw Slider is part of the cute JGW Tiki Luau kit from SVGAttic and features two more cute sliders.....

......the Sun and the Sea Turtle Straw Sliders. Cute aren't they?

The 3D Coconut Drink is made from the same file as the Pineapple but I left out the top and the scales. Instead I embossed the panels with a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and inked all with Ingvild Bolme Chalk Inks. The cardstock is AC in Cheastnut for coconut and Lemon, Goldfish, Moss and Leaf for the sliders. Both straws are from AC.

Next I made a pair of Flip-flops also from the JGW Tropical Haven kit:

These are made from AC Cardstock in Fireberry, Goldfish, Moss and Lemon and decorated with patterned paper from Carta Bella "Summer Splash".

All edges are inked with Ingvild Bolme Chalk Inks and the two red brads are from my ever growing stash.

The Flip-flops are also boxes so treats or gift cards can be placed inside. They are very easy to make.

No tropical paradise without flowers……

…...so I made the Lei from the JGW Tiki Luau kit.

I wanted it to be very colorful to match the awesome paper from Carta Bella, so I used AC Cardstock in Fireberry, Pool, Blossom, Lemon and Moss for it. I found some metallic colored beads in my stash to use as spacers.

This was the easiest of the all - just make the flowers and leaves and tread them onto the string - voila! Cool children's project I would think.

Finally I made a card to go with rest of the things:

This Stay Cool Tropical Box Card is also from the JGW Tropical Haven kit and is made from AC Cardstock in the same colors as the rest of the project and decorated with the patterned paper from Carta Bella. 

I get so many withdrawals just looking at it.

And here you have the whole set:

Yes - I cheated and made the whole thing in advance - come on.....nobody makes this much in two days. Ehm.....almost nobody…..hmmmm I kinda did. Oh well…..I'm a nut.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my creations as much as I did and that you got a bit of a feel of Tropical Paradise.

Beach Bag and Fish Cards

Happy July 4th! Tracy  here today and  I hope everyone is having a fun and safe holiday.

Today is my turn at SVG Attic and when I saw this new collection

Grab The Bait, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.

We have a family reunion/ lake trip planned for later this week and I  thought it would be fun to have some little handouts or favors.

To start with I turned the Creel 3D flat Gift Bag into a beach bag.  

The paper is from Echo Park and I just love all the bright colors.

I think I will fill the bag with Fish Crackers; it will be a perfect gift for the little ones!

I love the little magnetic fish in this kit...

... so I turned them into cards.

Its very easy to do, just decide if you want them to open from the side or the bottom, then mirror a copy of the offset base and weld.  

I was able to delete some of the pieces since they didn't need to be as thick and heavy as the magnetic fish.

For the blue fish I cut part from blue glitter paper and for the smaller orange fish I used printed paper.

I am really happy with how these turned out and think I will make the rest of the fish.  

They will make cute cards that can be tied to more  goody bags.

Be sure to get you kit here and if you need the tutorial, Jody has made it so easy, just follow the instructions here.

Thank you again for joining me.

Ice Cream Sundae with Beth

Happy Monday morning!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here today with this sweet summery ice cream sundae treat.  The SVG that I used is from SVG Attic's CG Fabulous 50's set.  It really is such a fun nostalgic set!

All the pieces were cut using my Silhouette Cameo 2.  The patterned papers are from DCWV's Romatic Life stack and I used Scotch Tacky Glue to assemble it.

I kept it fairly simple, only embellishing with Cotton Candy Trendy Twine and a sentiment that was included in the paper stack.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Come Away with Me

Happy Sunday and welcome back.

Ahhhh! - Now it's Summer time and soon time for my annual Summer vacation. Something we treasure highly in my family as everyday can sometimes be a bit harsh due to all our challenges. So this time, once a year, we throw all our cares away, get on a plane and fly down south and this year we'll be visiting Mallorca - the largest of the Balearic Islands, Spain. We've been there before but we do love this island, so we decided to go back.

The only thing I don't look forward to is 14 days without my crafting…...YIKES! Gotta smuggle something with me so I don't go mad (Ehm....more mad)

Ok so with this in mind, I decided to make something with a travel theme and my eyes landed on the gorgeous Round Traveling Case from SVGAttic's JGW Fashionably French kit. I've seen many versions of it made the last couple of months and wanted to make my own - and here it is:

I used AC Cardstock in Vanilla, Chestnut and Coffee along with the delightful Graphic 45 paper "Come Away with Me" collection that seems just right for this project. 

I also used some Cricut Faux Leather for the strap, metal colored dots as nail heads and a ball chain to hold the tag and a tiny metal key.

Then I dived into my huge stash of Prima flowers and found some that matched the paper real well along with a rhinestone swirl. Finally I also found some glass cabochons to decorate with.

Such a fun project to make and the suitcase goes together so easy but looks so amazing - don't you think? Tell me in a comment.

Thanks for stopping by today - I really hope you like my version of the suitcase.

Fun In The Sun

Hi, and welcome, everyone! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper sharing a beach hat and card. 

Have I told you all how much I love 12 x 12 Paper Kits, yeah? They can be so inspiring. The bathing suit paper is so cute and perfect for my beach hat. Yes, the big floppy beach hats. I used the Garden Hat 3D from Snapdragon Snippets to create the hat. I used quick dry adhesive on the hat and my trusty binder clips, as always. A little bit of ribbon and twine along with the gift tag from the JGW Just Sew Kit and popsicle sticker from the kit finishes it off. 

The dressmaker easel card from the JGW Just Sew Kit is so versatile. Back in December I paired it with the poinsettias from JGW Poinsettia Passion to create a Christmas card, so pretty! You can see it here, Christmas Wishes.

For the easel card I used my ATG adhesive and 3D mounting foam on the back of the stickers. The stickers from the kit add a few fun elements. Added a few enamel dots to finish it. 

The paper kit is Echo Park Paper Co. Summer Dreams.

As always, thanks for joining us today.

Form Fluttering

Happy Friday, everyone! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper sharing my take on the JGW Dress Form from the JGW Just Sew Collection. 

 I've been wanting to create this dress form for a while. In true Lisa fashion it had to be bright and happy. These papers are covered in beautiful, bold colors, just what I was looking for. 

There's a wonderful step-by-step tutorial, here.  Please be sure to check it out when you start your project. The first thing I did was cut all the pieces I needed ahead of time. Yes, the pieces have been sitting in a box for two weeks waiting for me. Hey, it works. 

When I started assembling the dress form, I gathered all of MY necessary supplies and then went to it. I jumped around a bit because several pieces have multiple layers and I wanted to give them time to dry while I worked on other pieces. 

I use quick dry adhesive to assemble. 

I'll never stop talking about these clips and how much time they can save you. 

I decided to add a little texture to these accent pieces by running them through an embossing folder and BigKick. 

I added ink to bring out the woodgrain from embossing. 

After assembling the form I started adding a few embellishments.

The butterflies were cut using dies from my stash. I added some fun ribbon around the waist as a belt topped off with a flower from my stash. A few pearls around the neck to match the flower on the waist.

Here's the finished product. 

The wheels were turning while I was assembling the dress form. So keep checking back for things to come. 

As always, thanks for joining me and have a great weekend.

By the Sea ~ with Cyndy G

Happy Friday.  Today I am sharing a project using files from SVG Attic's - JGW Fathoms Deep.  I used the top piece of the Claim Shell Box.  I got the idea from Annes Paper Creations.

First I cut the base of the shell three times - once out of Chip board and twice out of Vanill Cardstock to cover the front and back of the chipboard.  Next I cut the panels out of decorative paper.  I used Graphic 45 - By The Sea.  I raised every other section of the shell by using strips of foam tape under the panels to give the shell the feeling of ripples that you find on a real claim shell.

I did a lot of fussy cutting and used Mod Podge on all the pieces before assembling the project.  This helps protect your fussy cut pieces from tears and it really makes the base solid.  Finally I added a self adhesive picture hook to the back so it can be hung.  The overall size of the project is about 5x7.  Thank you for stopping by.

Do what inspires you,

Come Rain or Come Shine......

.....from the Soundtrack of the Danish Summer. It has pretty much been the crappiest summer in history, but as I see it, not everything has been bad. The temperature has been very pleasant with a minimum of hot humid days and the sun has been know to shine on occasion :-D

 

This weather inspired me to make this Birthday card to a girlfriend of mine whose Birthday is here in August. It could easily have been made for a spring Birthday but that's just my point - we have practically no seasons anymore. It's either Spring or Fall - no more Summer or Winter.

 

 

The cute card is designed by Cyndy Gustashaw and is part of her Box Cards 2 Kit.

 

I used AC Cardstock in Lipgloss, Cricket, Robin's Egg, Melon, Daffodil, Chestnut, Black and Bayou along with patterned paper from Doodlebug Design - Spring Time and Wood Grain patterned paper also from AC.

 

I inked all the edges with inkpads from Prima and used a white Silhouette Sketch Pen to write the sentiment (it says Congratulations in Danish) on the sign post.

 

Thanks for stopping by - hope you love the card as much as I do :-)

Have A Sunshiny Day with Lisa

Happy Friday, everyone! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper and today I'm sharing two great ideas for summer gift giving. Using two pieces from the JGW Fathoms Deep Kit and CG Under the Sea Kit I created a gift box and card.  

Recently, I was in one of the local big box stores and found several paper kits marked down and I couldn't resist. Several of the kits are Summer themed, like this one I used by Authentique - Seafarer. It's nice to have new inspiration. 

The top of the box is the center of Seafarer Eleven paper and if that's not a sign I don't know what is. It's the exact size of the accent layer for the box. I cut the top accent layer and cut the side accents using the same paper. I love this paper with this box and card. I used coordinating papers from the same kit to create the card. The sentiment banner is from the kit, too. 

Look at the details on the sides of the lid, gorgeous! 

 As always, thanks for joining us!

Bee Hive Card with Beth

Hello crafty friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties with you today sharing this bee hive card.

This card was solely inspired by some new papers I got!  The DCWV Watercolor Garden stack had these amazing bee inspired papers in it and I knew I had to make something with them, so this card was created!  The file I used from SVG Attic is from the JGW Blooming Card kit.

I distressed the cuts with various colors of Distress Inks to add more dimension to the card.  I kept it pretty simple, only adding a few sequins for embellishments.

Here is a look at the kit that I used:

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Ice Cream Sundae

Hello Everyone, I hope you all had a fantastic holiday yesterday.

Tracy here from the Idea Closet.

What is better after a long hot day then a day of relaxing and ice cream?

Today I have a project to help you relax.

This file is one I have wanted to make for a long time.  It almost looks good enough to eat.

Love the cherry that goes on the top; 

I even used it to make a tag to tie to the front of the Sundae.

The best part, is it can actually be filled with treats to share with someone special.

The file is part of the CG Fabulous 50's kit

.

The possibilities are endless with this one file.  I can't wait to make a lot more.
