Back To School Blog Hop

Welcome to the SVG Attic-SnapDragon Snippets Back To School blog hop!  We are so excited to have you join us today!

This is your first stop of the hop in which you will be inspired by the creativity of the design teams of SVG Attic and Snapdragon Snippets.  You are sure to find many wonderful projects that will be at the top of your crafting lists!

Here is the first project for the hop:

I created a card that used the crayon from SVG Attic's Back To School set.  I welded 4 of the crayons together for the card base.

 I popped the yellow and green crayons up for extra dimension, added twine, buttons and a sentiment and now it is the perfect A2 sized card for a teacher!

Get Organized for Back 2 School with Courtney

My project today is a super cute and very useful organizer.  I used the G is for Gratitude SVG

It was so fun to make and choose the papers.

It is a nice size and very sturdy.  Use if for yourselves, the kids or even as a first day Teacher Appreciation gift.

I hoped you enjoyed my project.

Don't forget to mark your calendars for our Back to School blog hop that starts this Saturday, right here on the SVG Attic blog!  It will be full of amazing projects!

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a fabulously crafty day ! ♥

Summer Pillowbox with Beth

Even though school starts soon for many children, summer is still in full swing!  I created a treat box that really makes me think of summer.

 I created the pillowbox from SVG Attic's Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes set.

 I embellished it with twine and brown chalk ink around the edges.

It is the perfect size for sweet treats :)

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Spring Fling with Shary

Hiya and I'm so pleased to show you my first blog project with SVG Attic.
I have made a gorgeous little project that you could use as a centre piece for your garden table (if the weather is good!) or even to use inside to brighten any room up.
I have used the Spring Fling kit

Here's my project

Firstly I made up the tray box using a Kraft cardstock. I distressed it a little using some distress ink around the edges. The pinwheels have littel beaded embellishments in the middle to make them look extra pretty and I used green bendy straws to make them stand up in the tray. I made the kite and used acetate to stand it up and some blue twine to make it's tail and string.

I'm hoping you like what I made with the Spring Fling kit and have a go at making one yourself. It really is a lovely, summery kit.

Christmas in August with Julie

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Julie here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. I'm trying to get a jump start on my Christmas cards, making one or 2 a month so the task isn't so overwhelming when the holiday season arrives.  SVG Attic recently released a new Christmas card kit, and it was just the inspiration I needed to make a Christmas card:

This card is part of the JGW Sweet Wishes Card Kit.  It is larger than most cards I make, measuring 5x7 -- plenty of space to catch up with family and friends.

Here's another angle:

I used some retired Christmas papers from Close To My Heart on this card, and the bling is from my stash.

Visit this blog each day for tons of great inspiration and ideas using the wonderful SVG Attic kits.

Monster Goes HTV with Courtney

I have a project up today that is a new venture for me

 HTV ~ Heat to transfer Vinyl

I love for my son to have personalized shirts, so I thought I might give it a try.  And my oh my is it addicting.  Anytime you need a shirt you can cut and press and voila you have a shirt for any occasion.  

I thought I would start with an adorable image from SVG ATTIC called Mommy's Monsters

I really am pleased with the result.  

For the name I used the Nested Alphabet.  

I only used 2 of the layers. 

This little guy just makes me smile.

I hope you enjoyed my project.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Have a fabulously crafty day !! ♥
