Quilting with Fox

 Hello Crafty Friends, today I am sharing another card using the Creative Cuties release from RAM Stamps! For my card today I am using the adorable image called Quilting with Fox.  

I printed my image & masked to shade the background. I then coloured my image. For my card I wanted it to look like a piece of patchwork so I started out with a 6" square patterned base & 5 1/2" square layer on top.  Using my Silhouette cutting machine I cut 6 different patterned papers 4 times each to total 24 small squares 3/4" in size. I then arranged & adhered the small squares onto my 5 1/2 square top layer. I then cut a 3 1/2" Square patterned paper & adhered it onto the centre of the small squares. I cut some small hearts & glued them onto each small corner square. Then I used a white gel pen & drew all the stitches along my papers. Lastley I cut my coloured image using a stiched square die to fit inside the centre panel & embellished with some enamel hearts.

Tool Themed Baby Boy Overall Card

  Hello Crafty friends, as you may recall, last week I created a Baby Themed Lion Overall card for the Lori Whitlock blog hop! I had so much positive feedback that I even got a request to create another with a different theme for a little boy's 2nd Birthday! Therefore for my project today I want to share with you the same Baby Boy Overall Card file (SVG, Silhouette), in a different theme. 

The recipient loves anything to do with vehicles & tools just like his Daddy, so I came up with the idea of adding the tools from the Tool Box Father's Day A2 card file (SVG, Silhouette).

I enlarged the shirt, overalls, shoulders straps & a pocket from the overall file enough that the shirt fit fully on the page in my Silhouette program. For this card you can see I have only used one of the pockets & placed it in the centre. By enlarging my card just a little it allows more space for my tools to be placed without looking crammed. This creates a card approx 4 5/8 x 5 7/8. I will use a 5x7 envelope. 

Next I drew white stitches using a white gelly roll no.10 marker. Then I glued my overall elements except for the pocket. I then cut & put together my tools from the Toolbox Fathers Day card. I used some silver metallic cardstock as well to make them look more realistic. I did not alter the size of the tools & used the original sizes. 

I then carefully arranged my tools using the pocket as a guide before glueing everything down. I did have to snip some of the tools from the bottom so that they sat better & didn't overlap creating a bulky look in the pocket.

I finished off by glueing some buttons from my stash & adding a black enamel dot to the pliers.

I love how this turned out! I hope I have inspired you to give this a try & would love to see what other Lori Whitlock files you can combine for your creations using the Baby Boy Overall card.

Paper: Doodlebug Design - Petite Prints

Today I have a cute overall card to share with you. I started off with the A2 Baby Boy Overall Card (SVG, Silhouette). I wanted to make it a Lion theme so I have combined a couple of Lori Whitlock files. The lion is from the Father's Day Safari Jeep Box Card file (SVG, Silhouette) & the Rainbow & Heart are from the Envelope Rainbow & Hearts Box Card files (SVG, Silhouette), (SVG, Silhouette).

I reduced to size my lion & rainbow. Then adhered to my overalls. I finished off by using some buttons I found in my stash to embellish.

Painting with Raccoon

 Hello Crafty Friends, I am sharing my second card from the recent new release of digital stamps from RAM Stamps called Creative cuties! For this card I am using another cutie called Painting with Raccoon.  

I printed my image then cut panel to 5 3/4" x  3 3/4". I then masked my image & added a background using a stencil to create the paint splashed background. I then added some splatters with pearl waterpaints. Once this was dry I removed the mask & coloured my image. I then adhered the image panel to a frame panel 1/4" bigger. I then created a 5x7" base with a coloured panel on top. I then stuck down my image panel using foam squared for dimension.

Crafting with Bear

Hello Crafty Friends, there's a new release out today with a digital stamp collection from RAM Stamps called Creative cuties! Today I am sharing my first card using this collection with an adorable image called Crafting with Bear.  

I wanted to create a card which resembled a scrapbook page. Wow, I cannot remember the last time I scrapbooked photos! 

I started out with a 6"square pink cardstock base. I then cut a white panel 5 7/8"square. Using various distress oxide colours I splattered onto the white panel concentrating on the edges. I then cut another pink patterned rectangle panel 3 1/5" x 4 3/4". Then I cut various papers 1/4" wide into different lengths & pasted them down in rainbow order. After colouring my image I cut with a stitched rectangle die & added a light pink base 1/4" wider. I did not have any alphabet dies small enough to create my words, EAT, SLEEP, CRAFT, REPEAT, so I did this on my Silhouette cutting machine. Lastly I embellished with some enamel sprinkles.

 

Copics:

Grass: YG0000, YG00, YG03, YG05, YG07

Bear: E0000, E000, E00, E02, E11

Yellow: Y13, Y17, Y19

Father's Day Tractor Box Card

  Hello Crafty friends, today I want to share how I made this adorable Father's Day Tractor Box card!

The file for my project today is the Box Card Father's Day Tractor (SVG, Silhouette).

After cutting out all my pieces I glued all my coloured panels onto the corresponding pieces.

  

I wanted my wheels to have dimension, so I added some foam squares instead of just glueing them down flat.

I then created my box by folding & glueing my tabs into place. I lined up the insert first glueing one side then gently folding the card flat as I go to make sure it placed evenly before I glued the tab on the other side. 

Next I layed my box flat & gently glued the front & back panels onto my box card base. The file comes with a Father's Day message on the back that you can print & cut, but because it is not Father's Day in Australia until September, I decided to leave it out so that I can use this card for my husband's birthday in a couple of weeks. 

My husband is a farmer, so I wanted to add a little farmer inside my box card. I have used the Doodlebug Farmer - On the Farm also available from the Lori Whitlock store (SVG, Silhouette). Lastly I added some Sprinkles to embellish.

The box card folds flat to fit into envelope!

Supplies:

Paper: Doodlebug Design - Petite Prints

SVG File: Lori Whitlock - Box Card Father's Day Tractor (SVG, Silhouette).
