Happy Mother's Day!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!

I hope that you are all spending time with your mom's and or your loved ones. I made this card today for my Mother-in-law and for my mom.  I can't wait for them to open them.

I have been seeing these card boxes all over the place and have been wanting to try and make one.  What better time then Mother's Day?

I got this file from the Silhouette Studio store.

Instead of using the paper flower cut outs that came in the file, 

I chose to use fabric flowers.

 The "Happy Mother's Day" is cut out using vinyl.  

The edges are all inked in a darker purple

So when I was first introduced to this card I had always wondered how it could be a card.  Cards fold up and I just didn't see a "Box" card folding up.  So I included a couple of photo's of the card folded up.

So that is my first box card attempt and I really love how it turned out.  I can't wait to make more!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look, I hope you will come back again soon!!

Play Ball Bottle light

Hello and Happy Saturday!

So I've been making these wine bottle lights but, since I don't drink, I asked a friend who waitresses at PF Changs to pick me up some bottles and this was on of the ones she brought me.
My son loved it. So I made it for him.

He is 12 years old and a HUGE Baseball player/fan.  

I spray the bottle with this Frosted glass spray 

to give the bottle a "frosted" look.  It softens up the light.

I drilled a small hole in the bottom back of the bottle 

and strung a 20 light sting of white lights in.  

Used some vinyl to decorate and a ribbon to top if off.

Well thanks for stopping by to take a look, come back again soon!!

                                                                      

Hi and Happy Friday!  

So I am the oldest of 8 kids and my youngest sibling is only16.  

My mom decided after all this time she was going to go back to school, 

and she did!  

She is graduating in a couple of weeks from UofA.  

I made her her announcements to hand out to friends and family.

I made 3 different colors, one of each of the school colors.

The "A" is cut from vinyl.  I used my Cameo to create the image.

The front of each invite is embossed with I believe the Herringbone embossing folder.

I then added coordinating ribbon and a few little silver studs.

For the inside I just printed it off from my computer and attached it to the inside.

I always try to include something cute to hold the invitations.  

I just did this up super quick.  I took a red paper sack, cut it down to size with wavy scissors.  

Then added red,white and blue toole and a UofA logo tag.  

Thanks for stopping by to take a look. Hope you'll come back again soon!!

                                                                     

Calendar

Hi! So you know those ugly black calendars you can get at the $1 store? 

 I love the insides, they usually are fine, its a calendar.  

But the outsides of them are so boring.

So this year I decided to make mine a calendar I wanted to carry around.  

My newest thing is chevrons.  I just cannot get enough of them.

I used pink, white and black vinyl.  The saying is from the Silhouette Store.

Isn't it cool?

Then I noticed with all the extra vinyl it helps reinforce it.  

Since I carry it everywhere,

 I need all the extra support I can get

  

So there you have it! My Calendar.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!!

You're Invited Sweet Sixteen invites

Hello and Happy Monday!

I have so many things to show you. 

I'm going to start with the invitations I made for one of my Young Women in my church.

She is turning 16 and having a neon/black light party.

I made them in a variety of neon colors, in a gate fold style.

I didn't include any envelopes, I just wrapped them up in some toole.

Well thanks for stopping by, please feel free to say hi.

Love/ Valentine's

Hi! I hope you've had a great Sunday.  Mine has been busy busy busy.  

Lot's of crafty things to do today.

I wanted to show you the card I made for my Hubby for Valentine's Day this year. (I know Valentine's Day was over a month ago, don't judge. LOL) 

This is Silhouette Store cut file.  I used glitter paper for the heart. 

The sentiment I cut using white vinyl.  

I then spritzed the whole card with some gold shimmer mist.

I really liked this card.  I visited the hubby at work on Valentines Day 

and we went to lunch.  When I left I snuck it on the seat of his truck.  

He never even said anything about it. I asked him and he said he got it.  

He must not have cared for it that much, oh well.

Well thanks for stopping by and taking a look.

Be Mine (Frog Style)

Hello and Happy Valentine's Day eve.

I'm really not a big Valentine's kinda girl. But it does give me an excuse to

make cute stuff.

This time I made this cute little frog.  I got him from the Silhouette store.  I then made the little "Be Mine" Banner also using the Silhouette software.

On the inside of the card I used Vinyl and another Silhouette store cut.  

Hope you like my Card. 

Thanks for stopping in and taking a look, 

hope to see you back again soon.
