Poor Santa!

Hello! I am sharing my SVG Cutting Files post today.  This is the Santa Chimney Hershey Cover that will be in the SVG Cutting Files' Store this Friday. Such a clever design, you pull on Santa and a second pocket is revealed that holds your candy.  The pocket is a nice size that fits a standard Hershey's Chocolate bar.

I think this would be super cute sized down to hold smaller candy too.

I was experimenting with fur on this project.  I cut the fur off some fur fabric and applied this to my cuts with double sided tape.  The fur looks... well, furry and seems to stay where it was applied.   The sentiment is from Peachy Keen Stamps, PK-322 Peachy Keen Santa.

Voila!

Good morning! Here is my sample for the Love to Create Challenge.  The this week the challenge is all about hugs and wishes.  I went with a "wish" of a trip to France!  I stamped my card with Stamp Annie*Thing's Ooh la la Stamp Set (which is also this week's PRIZE).

My card base is one of the mini note cards from SVG Cutting Files, but I sized this up to 5 by 5 inches.  I added paper charms with a french theme.

Good luck with the Challenge!

The Greeting Farm Kidz

I am posting this card for my gal for the Greeting Farm Kidz Challenge. She is a crafty kid and really enjoyed coloring this image from The Greeting Farm, Anya Strolls.  Heather used Spectrum Noir Markers, TGF metal dies, glitter ribbon, and BLING!

Sweet Lil Deer

Good morning everyone! I am playing along at Peachy Keen Stamps' "show me the money" card challenge.  For this challenge, make a card that can hold money or a gift card.  Keeping with the Christmas in July theme, here is a money card for a sweet deer. Her face is stamped with PK-170 Bear Face Assortment.

Lucky Dog Treat!

Hello! I have been creating with my Stamp Annie*Thing Stamps. Here is the project I made with the Dog Gone Cute set.  I just love his pants! They remind me of the high waisted pants worn by Fred Mertz on the I Love Lucy TV Show.

The bag was decorated with dog accessories from the same stamp set.  The bag topper is actually a bone shaped card from SVG Cutting Files.  I just punched a hole with a hole punch to thread some ribbon through the bag and the card.
I made this treat bag for a friend that visits me with her "fur baby" in tow.  Her sweet Yorkie is a "lucky dog" to live with her!
Thanks so much for stopping today!

Penquin Style

Good Morning! I found this penquin pillow box cut by Amy Robinson at the Silhouette Online Store.  I added a Peachy Keen Face and dressed him up for Christmas with a scarf. 

I will be entering this cutie in Jaded Blossom's Christmas in July Challenge.   I used the Jaded Blossom Candy Charms and Banner Dies and the Summer Candy Stamps.  He would look super cute with the Christmas or Winter Candy Stamps but I don't own those yet...  

Have a great day!

Christmas in Kawaii

Good morning! SVG Cutting Files will have new Christmas themed cuts available this Friday at the Store. Perfect timing to get a head start on your Christmas Crafting.  I could make Holiday projects all year long myself.  The Kawaii Christmas Lollipop Covers are easy and fun to make.

I put a small tree in my entry way during Christmas. My plan is to make enough to decorate the tree with these lollipop covers.  Gee, if I start NOW I might get them done in time :)

SVG Cutting Files has their new Challenge on the blog. The theme is a color challenge with "hot tropic" colors, Yellow, Orange, and Blue.  Enter your project for a chance to WIN a gift certificate for SVG Cutting Files.  Check out the monthly challenge details, HERE.

Just Ducky

Good Morning- Just posting my CAS "ducky card" made with Stamps from Stamp Annie*Thing's The Fun Starts Here set.  I just love the graphics of the ducks in a row and stamped the image twice masking off one side.  To pull the primary colors across the card I added some buttons.

Berry Sweet Gift Box

Sentiment Stamp PK-162 Fruit Sentiments One

Hello everyone! Today is the start of a new challenge at Peachy Keen Stamps. Create a 3-D project of your choice and have ribbon wrapped somewhere on it.  The challenge closes on July 17 so be sure to link your project at the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog.

I found this "berry sweet" gift box at the Silhouette online store, chocolate gift box by Jennifer Wambach.  It is the perfect size for candy or a gift card. On top of the box is my cutie pie strawberry.  I used the face stamp, PK-145 Piles of Smiles, for the stawberry.  The cut is called Berry Sweet by SEI.

I hope you have time this week to play along at the Challenge. Bye for now-

My Doggie Bag

Good afternoon! There is a purse challenge going on at SVG Cuts. You can read about the details HERE, but basically you make a purse from their FREE file and you "win" a gift card. How generous is that!

I thought it would be fun to design a "doggie" bag, complete with a dog biscuit button. I added some trim made with a circle punch to the edge the flap of the purse.

Be sure to get your purse entered by July 12.

Bug Me Anytime!

Hello! Today I had some time to play with my Cricut! The card base is from Wild Card and the bug is from Paisley.  I followed the Sketch at Peachy Keen's Sketch Challenge.  My friend Teresa was teasing me that I put faces on EVERYTHING... but as you can see this bug has no face.
See! Look! No Face! ha ha.
(I think this ladybug would be cute with a face on her... but I will refrain.)

Sentiment Stamp: PK-197 Baby Buzz Sentiments

I will be entering this card at Fantabulous Cricut's Challenge Blog. The theme this week is to use your Cricut and make a project with any type of bug. You can enter your project HERE.

Bye for now-

Sweet Ice Cream & Bean

Red, White, Blue and Ribbon is this week's challenge at The Greeting Farm. 

My TGF image is a clear stamp Twinkle Bean.

 I love her hair as it reminds me of ice cream. (or maybe I am hungry)

 She has stars in her hair but I opted to add some flowers 

to make her "more sweet". 

 I used my Cricut to cut the cone and the title "sweet". 

 I love this color combo and it does not always have to be for a patriotic card.

Thanks for stopping by today-

A Rare Bird

Good Morning- I have a card to share with you today.  My card features a "rare bird" for sure. He is from Stamp Annie*Thing's Rare Bird stamp set.  I colored him with Copic  markers to match the paper I picked up from Hobby Lobby, The Cheeky Monkey Paper Stack from the Paper Studio. Love the fun tropical and monkey prints on this paper stack.  This bird is very fun to color and you can color him any color... because he is RARE. he he

The card base is from SVG Cutting Files, Wavy Card Base.  A great unique shape to decorate.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Peachy Keen July Peek

A new month  means a new set of stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps.  Today I have two projects made with the NEW July Stamp Club kit.  The theme is "Christmas in July" but as always there are faces and sentiments that could be enjoyed all year long. LOVE THAT! Here are some treat houses I made with the new stamps-

Here is a picture of the house open... such a clever design.

Another project made with the set is a shape slider card. The coffee card was decorated for use all year. I just adore that sweet coffee drink!
