Fathers Day Toolbox Box Card

I forgot to post this earlier... here is the Father's Day card I made for my Dad.  
The svg file is from www.svgcuts.com Mary & Leo from SVGCuts make it so fun and easy to create these awesome box cards.  They do an amazing job with their svg's.

My artsy hubby helped with drawing the brand names onto the tools. Thanks John! :)

Birthday Carousel Gift Bag

I made a matching gift bag to go along with the carousel cupcake stand for my Mother-In-Laws birthday. You can find the svg file for this and the carousel at SVGCuts.com

Carousel Cupcake Stand

So much for the 100 Day Blog Challenge I tried doing months ago... had surgery in October for an Umbilical Hernia, had a bad reaction to some meds shortly after surgery (while I was still in hospital) which caused the hernia to reoccur so had to have another surgery in December and have been recovering ever since.  Recovery time takes longer when they have to do a surgery in same location as a recent one... and more painful.  Finally getting back to my old self some what again but not 100% yet. Have to see another surgeon tomorrow about some damage that the last surgeon caused... so it seems neverending.

But anyway, I have had some time to do some scrapping... I have been working on several Valentine stuff and actually completed a double layout last week.  Pics to come!  First I'd like to share the carousel cupcake stand that I made for my Mother In Law.  The svg file came from the Carousel Ride kit over at SVGCuts.com  I found the base to be the most complicated part to create... which is crazy bc it looks to be pretty simple. I don't think I will be making another one of these anytime soon.  I have also made the ferris wheel from SVG Cuts before and it was much easier.  Here is my take on the carousel.

Day 47 of 100 Day Blog Challenge - Thinking of You Thanksgiving Cards

Here are some Thanksgiving cards I made using svg files from SVG Cuts. These were really fun cards to make!  For the wording on both the front and inside of the cards, I used gold embossing powder and heat gun.  Then inked the edges of the pumpkins with brown ink.  For the finishing touch, I added twine bows and buttons to each pumpkin.  

Below is a close up of one of the cards.

   And here is the inside of the card...

Day 45 of 100 Day Blog Challenge - Fall Lanterns

I made these lovely Fall lanterns for my Mom using my cricut and SCAL 2.  The lantern svg file came from SVG Cuts Crisp Days of Fall SVG File Collection.  I attached bronze colored wire for the handles.  And completed the lanterns by adding a battery operated candle inside each lantern.

Day 36 of 100 Day Blog Challenge - Jack-o-Lantern Card

Here is a 3d Halloween card I made using an svg file from the Fright Night collection at SVG Cuts.  This card folds flat to fit in the envelope.  If you haven't tried any of SVG Cuts files before, I highly recommend you do. Mary & Leo help make paper crafting super fun and easy with their awesome files.

Day 32 of 100 Day Blog Challenge - Lighted Jack-o-lantern Bucket

This jack-o-lantern bucket I made

 from paper is the same size as

 the large plastic Jack-o-lantern

 buckets that kids use to

 trick-or-treat. I lit it up using

 battery powered mini candles. 

       

 

 The svg file came from the

 Fright Night collection at SVG Cuts. 

The paper is from DCWV and has an
 embossed glittery texture to it.

Day 31 of 100 Day Blog Challenge - Halloween Ferris Wheel

For Day 31 of my 100 Day Blog Challenge,
I'd like to share the Halloween Ferris Wheel
I made using svg files from SVG Cuts.
This was a lot of fun to make.
  
Its all made with scrapbook paper except
the small dowel rods I used to hold the carts
of the Ferris Wheel.  Each cart spins, too.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Have Fun & Stay Safe!

Day 29 of 100 Day Blog Challenge - Spider Web Boo Rosettes

For today, I decided to do 2 days in one...
Since the Royals were so close in winning
the World Series last night, I just had to
make a Royals card and I'll also post
my next Halloween project... a banner.

First up, the Halloween Banner. 
The web rosettes are made with an svg file
from SVG Cuts.  Then I also used my Cricut
to cut the BOO letters.  I doubled up on the
letters, pop dotting them to stand out more.
I also hot glued a plastic spider to the "B"

Here is a close up of spider web rosette.

Day 26 of 100 Day Blog Challenge - Jack-o-lanterns with Hats

First of all, thanks to my friends and family
for all the Birthday wishes!  Had a great day!
Was finally lifted off the soft food diet
restriction today... so hubby and I went out
for BBQ for lunch today!  It was super yummy! 
    
Today's post, are cute little Jack-o-lanterns
I made from the Haunted Forest SVG Kit
at SVG Cuts. I placed a tea light candle
inside each Jack-o-lantern.  I love how
these turned out!  The hats were actually
fun to make, but can't say the same
thing for the jack-o-lanterns.

Day 19 of 100 Day Blog Challenge - Haunted House Box Card

So excited to start making Halloween
paper crafts!! Halloween is one of
my favorite holidays.  Here is a box card I
made from SVG Cuts Fright Night Collection.
I added sparkly stickles onto the spider webs
and inked the edges of the gray pieces with black
ink.  I also add a touch of orange stickles to the
BOO wording and the Jack-o-lantern's eyes.
