4th of July Cowboy Style

Hello all. Today I bring you a cowboy style 4th of July centerpiece. I started with the Cowboy 3D Boot Panels Fringe file from SVG Attic/SnapDragon Snippets.

I used the Craftwell eBrush to highlight the edges of the cowboy boot. For the top half of the boot, I used Paper House's 'Let Freedom Ring' paper.
 Next I decided the best thing to fill the top was flowers
 I didn't spend too much time with the flowers, but the shot glasses helped shape them so I could move onto other flowers.
Finished Project:

Have a fun and safe 4th!

Die Cuttin' Diva's Guest Designer

Hello all! I have the pleasure of guest designing for Die Cuttin' Diva's again. When I saw that butterfly was a theme option, I jumped on it. Butterfly's have always been a fascination for me so I decided to do a card and candy gift set.

I started with a Dreaming Tree Butterfly Favor Box file (free file found here) and some wonderful paper from American Crafts 'My Girl' paper pad .
 The box portion was very easy to make
Once the box was built and the top was on, it was easy to shape the butterfly's by pinching their wings together. Using the Xyron Mega Runner®  I was able to decorate the top of the box quickly.
I wanted the card to match the free Dreaming Tree butterfly box. I took the butterfly from the box and incorporated it into the card design.

Xyron and Newton's Nook

FTC disclaimer: I received some of these products for free but was not compensated for writing this post. To view my complete disclaimer, click here.

Hello all. This week the Xyron design team has partnered up with Newton's Nook to showcase some fun stamps and dies. Both Newton's Nook and Xyron have some goodies to give away to you. For Newton's Nook entry, check out their blog here. For Xyron's entry, check out their Facebook fanpage here. 


Now Newton's Nook stamps and dies quickly flew to the top of stamps that I like to use. Their stamps come out clean, precise, and they are not squishy so the chances of stamping them too hard causing smearing is limited.

For my project I used Cuppa Cactus Stamps and Cuppa Cactus Dies. I also chose the What a Hoot stamp set for a later project.
To start with I stamped the images on plain white cardstock. Then I colored them with a few Spectrum Noir markers.  
 Next I grabbed the dies to run the colored images through my Sizzix Big Shot
 Then I stamped the sentiments on the appropriate cardstock
 And finally began assembly!
 I used both the Tape Runner and Xyron Mega Runner®  for this set of cards.

Father's Day Part 2

For part 1 of Father's Day (the sassy side) click HERE!

Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful, attentive, hard working men out there. My children are just so lucky to happen to have the Best Dad Ever. He's just the most difficult person to buy gifts for because he doesn't like to celebrate ANYTHING! So I decided to make him something that can sit on his desk.

First I grabbed a few files from the Silhouette store (all files listed below).
After designing, welding, and cutting out the design, I used my Xyron Mega Runner®  to adhere vellum to the back of the sentiment to give it a frosted shadowed look.
Next I took the 1.5" Sticker Maker to adhere the little letter inserts onto the vellum so that it doesn't warp with glue.

Next I created the frames outer and inner edges, adhered the face to the frame, and assembled the little insert box.
Once all three pieces were completed, I adhered them together.
Lastly I quickly popped the lights into the back.

Father's Day Part 1

Hello all! Okay so today's father's day card is a little bit of fun. My husband is one of the funniest people I know so we have a lot of fun poking fun at each other. Now when we found out we were pregnant with our son, his first statement was "great now I'll never get to take vacation". When we found out we were expecting our daughter a few years later, his complaint was "now I really will never get to go on vacation" (we went to Hawaii a year after she was born).


So I had to make a card to remind him that not only are the two children his fault, but the no vacations is his fault as well. Which is totally untrue about the vacations and partially true that it is all his fault.

His actual father's day gift is a more sweet one that he can have on his desk for that project, click HERE (runs on my blog on Father's Day)!

Father's Day Box Card set

Hello all. Today I have a set of box cards show you that I made using the CG Box Cards file from SVG Attic/SnapDragon Snippets.

This file is perfect for those who have multiple fathers to celebrate. There's a little something for everyone.
To begin with, I cut out all of the shapes for all five cards.
Once all the pieces were cut and organized to each card, I got to assembling. There really is a card for just about any dad in this set.

The Grill Master:

 The Dinosaur
 The Seasoned Rider
I used the Teresa Collins Mega Runner by Xyron® to adhere the darker gray pieces as the paper was more delicate and I didn't want it to warp with glue.
I wanted to use some chrome brads because everything looks better with chrome
I also used the Xyron Creative Station® for the finer/smaller pieces so again, glue didn't warp them.
The Movie Lover
Again, the Xyron Creative Station® came in handy to adhere the smaller pieces together
The Racing card was so easy, I didn't even get any pictures of assembly!

Finished Cards:

Grill Master





















The Dinosaur



The Seasoned Rider



















The Movie Lover





















The Racer
