Accordion Pumpkin and Letters by SVG Cuts

Life is always crazy this time of year! I wish I could post more often but sometimes there is just not enough time in the day... I did get a chance to cut out these letters to spell out FALL on my Silhouette a few weeks ago. This is a great file by SVG Cuts that you can use for just about any season or for any occasion. I plan on cutting out some additional words in the next few weeks so I will try to get those posted as well.

I also made this great accordion pumpkin! When I was searching on the Silhoutte Online store for a file the pumpkins were REALLY small. Luckily I ran across this version on Pinterest (I think the instructions are from Archivers). I really wish they had a cut file available for this size of a pumpkin. I am so lazy now!! :)

Now Carrying Lawn Fawn!!!

Our first shipment of Lawn Fawn has arrived and let me tell you, these products are super cute!

I whipped up a cute card using winter sparrows stamp set, winter sparrows lawn cuts, and peace joy love petite paper pack.

I stamped the birds with Memento Black and colored them with copics. I went over the birds accessories with Wink of Stella Brush - Clear (which will be arriving in stock in about a week!)

Katy Sue Designs - Tunnel Card

What a cute card, so much dimension in an A2 size card! This card is offered as a download at http://www.katysuedesigns.com/. I am not much for fussy cutting but I think it is worth it for this card. I added Flower Soft for a great snow look. Southlake Scrapbooking now carries the Flower Soft line and can be purchased HERE!

Christmas Side Step Card

This was such a fun card to make! The sleigh and trees were cut with the Silhouette Cameo. First I colored the trees with Viva Decor Paper Soft - Moss Green but it was too light. I then went over the trees with Clearsnap Color Box Chalk Ink - Forest Moss and that gave the trees great dimension. I tried skipping the first step and just use the chalk ink but it just came out a solid color, just kind of blah... For the sky I also used Viva Decor Paper Soft - Cobalt Blue. For the snow I used VersaMark with Ranger Sticky Powder and Dry Stickles - Star Dust.

Time to Start Thinking About Christmas Cards!

This years cards will be as easy as cutting the card faces from Heartfelt Creations Christmas Card Collection Paper and adding some embellishments to finish them off, to very detailed layered cards that take a few hours to complete (this is why I have to start so early in the year!).

Here is a quick 6 x 6 card using the Heartfelt Creations Christmas Card Collection Pack, I added some Stickles and stamped the greeting using Hero Arts - Holiday Cheer.

Black & White Christmas Card - Bazzill

It is never to early to start making Christmas cards right :) The Bazzill 6x6 paper multipacks make some quick and easy cards to make your card making stress free. I am usually a traditional color girl but I really like this black and white card. The label on top was made from my Silhouette and I embossed the Hero Arts - Sparkle with Happiness stamp with white embossing powder. The stamp inside is from Papertrey Ink.

Happy Birthday!

I needed to whip up a card for one of my team members at work for her birthday tomorrow. Everyone at work really likes my cards but it is always so hard to have 20+ people sign an A2 size card. I decided to make a 6x6 card and since I don't have to mail it, why not add some dimension!

Items Used:
Viva Decor Paper Soft
Clearsnap Colorbox Chalk Ink
Spellbinders Embossing Folders and Dies

All of these items can be purchased HERE

Thinking of You Card

I had a chance to play with some new products that are now in stock. I am glad it is only Friday and I have all weekend to have some fun!! The Impression Obsession Stamps were great to to use with the Colorbox Chalk Ink to make the background and the mega mount helped make a great impression in one twist of the wrist!

Underneath the card is a box that I made using my Silhouette Cameo to use as an envelope for hand delivery or you can even use to mail (with additional postage).
