A Whale of a Gift

DT Sonja here with this little ocean set that is part of the JGW Fathoms Deep set at SVG Attic.

 I fell in LOVE with the whale knowing that the scaly coastal paper I had from DCWV would be perfect.



This little hinged whale box is a great way to hide gifts or treats in his belly!  
 I loved doing the whale so much, 

it then led me to doing the Seahorse card. 



And then of course I had to do the seashell as well! 



I finally had to stop there though! 

Materials Used: 
DCWV 'Coastal' Stack



Scotch photo splits
Silhouette Cameo
Aleene's Original Tacky glue

Scotch Advance Tape Glider

Shaker Clam Shell Box with Angeline

Happy Monday!
Angeline from ScrappyScrappy -- here to share with you a shaker clam shell box I made using CG Under the Sea kit.

SVG Attic: Shaker Clam Shell Box with Angeline #svgattic #scrappyscrappy #underthesea #clamshellbox #shakercard #papercraft #svg #diecut #cutfile

This clam shell box is so unique because it mimics the porthole AND it is a SHAKER "card" box.
I added some under the sea creatures stamps that I have colored and cut out to adhere onto the base. Then I added a multi-colored glitter as the shaker element.

Here's the view from the top!

3D Locker Gift Box with Beth

Good morning my crafty friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today.  School starts in 11 days here, so I went with a back to school theme.
I created the locker in from the JGW Campus Capers set.  I just added a more sophisticated and modern look to it!  The papers I used are from DCWV's Modern Metallic stack.
The fun part is that the locker opens to be used as a gift box!  The lock even slides off for extra fun.
Want to see all the files that are included in the JGW Campus Capers set?  Here it is!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

A Gift Giving Gift with Lisa



Hi and welcome, everyone! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper sharing a fun gift idea, a gift giving gift. Using the desk organizer from the SVG Attic G is for Gratitude Set I created this organizer for gift bags, tags, pens, ribbon, scissors, and tape.  This organizer would make a fun gift wrapped up in cellophane and tied with a bow.  I will be sharing another fun idea using this organizer soon, so stay tuned! 



At first glance, this organizer seems a little intimidating. Don't let it scare you! Allow yourself plenty of time to assemble, making sure everything is squared, edges are nice and crisp, and I can't stress enough that a heavy cardstock is a must to achieve the best results possible. Make sure to take a peek at the Video Tutorial before you start assembling and things will fall right into place. I had extra space on my matted paper to cut tags out from the newly released JGW Just Sew Collection.


The patterned paper is DCWV Watercolor Stack.
I've added this tip before but I feel like it needs to be said again.....Binder Clips are a paper crafters
best friend!
You can find more details and a supply list on my blog, The Relativity of Paper.
As always, thanks for joining us and we hope you have a fantastic weekend

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!

A Quilter's Basket

Hello to all! Tanya here from Crafting on Caffeine.  I'm very excited about this "card" I have for you today. You see it comes with it's own stand!  


Today's project is brought to you using SVG Attic's  JGW Quilt Patch Minnies. I can not wait to do more of them! Oh and stay tuned I have another project up my sleeve using the Quilt Stand!


Both sides are slightly different. I mean whenever you make a quilt is all the squares totally the same?  I can't wait for the person this is made for to receive this!


I couldn't have done this without my paper and the twine to sew it together so here is the details on those.  DCWV Paper Stacks- The Good Wood, Prism Play, College Art at Micheals, and Boho Style at A.C. Moore.

Thanks again and stop by soon for more creations!
