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.

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

Back to School Ellie

  Hello Crafty Friends, I am back today with some D.T. inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls. 

For my card today I am using the cute PND Back to School Ellie stamp. This image is perfect to create a Thank you or Birthday cards to a special teacher.

I created my card on a 5"x7" base & cut my coloured panels & layered. I created my sentiment in my Silhouette program & cut it out with black vinyl as I was not able to print it onto my notebook paper. I then transfered it onto my card into place. I cut with my Silhoutee, put together & glued my book stack. After colouring my image & creating my book stack I adhered these down using some foam tape for dimension. Lastly I used some enamel sprinkles to embellish.
