It's Cake Day! Celebrate...

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!

Are you ready for the weekend? I know I am!

We've been deep cleaning each classroom so you can

imagine I'm pretty busy all week long - So for me, the weekend

is what I need to unwind after a crazy week! 😊

This week I've been sharing some designs I've made

using my Silhouette Program and my IP8720 Canon Printer -

They are ALL Birthday cards since we need them monthly -

Here's another one I created a while ago that I was able to bring to life!

How Cute! Am I Right? 

I do love how clean and simple this one turned out!

I printed & cut out 4 of the cupcakes and popped

1 on top of the center cupcake - just for a little added fun!

Cardstock - Stampin' Up, Neenah Solar White

Designer Paper - Colorbox 6x6 pad

Stitched Rectangle Frame Die - MCT (My Creative Time)

Sentiment, Hearts, & Cupcake images - Silhouette Store (#303598) 

Clear wink of Stella pen used on the cupcake toppers & Tiny Hearts

Fun Foam for added dimension

Slanted banner dies - MFT (My Favorite Things)

Have a Safe and Happy Weekend!!!

Quick Birthday...

Hello, & Happy Spring Break!!!! YAY!

Yup! It's finally here for us and we are on

our way to the other house to get some more work done!

Geesh! Why does that not sound exciting?

Ooh, wait... because it's NOT Exciting!!! LOL

But it is something that needs to be done before

moving day - Which is inching closer and closer!!

I've got one more quick card to show ya

before I head out of town -

This is another Silhouette Store Image (#297225)

It's called Happy Birthday Watercolor Floral - I love the colors

I just used a Stitched Rectangle Frame die

and popped it up with some fun foam right onto a 

pacific point (SU) colored Card base -

I added some tiny clear adhesive gems and called it done!!

This will be another card I can use for school so a win-win for me!

I'll be gone for a week and I won't have internet -

So wish me luck and I'll see you guys when I return!

Have a BEAUTIFUL WEEK!!!!

Theresa

Golden Christmas....

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!

I told you the other day that I got a new printer and

today is going to be another image from the Silhouette Store

that I thought should be tested out -

Of course, this card will be going right into 

my Christmas Stash for 2020!

The design from the Silhouette Store is (#236098)

The Stitched Rectangle Frame die is from (MCT)

The gold metallic Paper is from (Making Memories)

I used Fun Foam for added dimension

The White Cardbase is Neenah Smooth Solar White

And the White Card Front  (where my image is) 

is Smooth White Bazzill Cardstock

Here's another photo of it - I was trying to show the

Clear Wink of Stella Glitter pen on the wreath &

Merry Christmas - I love that I don't have to spray

my images now! Yay Me!!! 

Have a FANTASTIC DAY!!!


Theresa

Many, Many Thanks...

Hello & Happy Tuesday Crafty Friends!

We have Rain pretty much ALL week long in the forecast! (bummer) 

I guess it could be worse like (Snow) EEK! 

Bite your tongue THERESA!!!

Either way, Spring break is just around the corner

and I'll be heading to the other place for painting -

We are hoping to get the whole inside of the

house painted! I don't know if all of it will

get done cuz it IS SPRING BREAK! Am I Right? LOL

As I mentioned last week in a post my poor

sweet Canon Pro 9000 printer died on me...

It's been about 5 months since I've actually had

a colored printer (oh the horror!!) So...

I finally bought myself a new one and I HAD

to try it out by using some images from

the Silhouette Store to print with -

I purchased another Canon of course (I LOVE Canon!)
It's an iP8720 and can print large papers like 12 x 12 
It's also a pigment ink-based printer -
What that means is I don't have to use a protectant spray anymore
when I use my Wink of Stella pens! YAY!
It's actually GREAT for water coloring!!! 

My other Canon and most inkjet printers are DYE INK Based
and they don't like water much, that is why I always
sprayed any of my Print N cuts with a Sealer first and let it
dry, so that I could use my water-based pens on the images
without them getting ruined...

So, I have a quick CAS card I made using an
image from the Silhouette store and my new printer -

I added tiny clear adhesive gems to the dots (CTMH)

The Stitched Scallop Frame Die is from (CDD)

The Stitched Rectangle Frame die is from (MCT)

The Red Dotted paper is from Doodlebug Designs

The White Cardstock is Neenah Smooth Solar White

I used a piece of Fun Foam for added dimension

And the Thanks Image is from the Silhouette Store (#77329)

This will work well at school since everyone always asks if I could

bring in more Thank You Cards! :)

Have a FABULOUS DAY!!!

Christmas Cheer!

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone!

How was your weekend?? 

Mine??? Not Long Enough!! LOL

Last week I worked on more Christmas Cards...

WHY? I don't know... I just like making them I guess...

I'm already ahead for next year so that's a plus! :)

I used a Card Kit from Photoplay to make this one

I don't use kits much but thought it would be

fun to do for a change... I got the kit at a local

scrapbook store when I went to visit my sister last month.

AS per usual... I didn't follow the kit exactly on all my cards...

Like this one - I used the same layout it called for...

But I added some beautiful Snowflake Dies

and that ADORABLE Reindeer stamp which I

got from my wonderful crafty friend 

LISA @ A Mermaid's Crafts (Thanks Lisa)

Super Simple & Cute --

*** Products Used ***

Cardstock - Neenah Smooth White, Stampin' Up,

Hello & Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

The week is half over and I'm already

looking forward to the weekend!

I've got another quick post for ya today!

I made this sweet card for another Teacher

at school. I don't think every Birthday card

needs to say Happy Birthday on the front. 

Am I right? :)

I made this card about 2 weekends ago and had a blast

creating it in my Silhouette Program -

I used all the Digital Elements from the

Bee Happy Digital Paper collection from (Down this Road)

It looks so cool all watercolored

I used a Stitched Rectangle Frame Die from My Creative Time

and a Stitched Scallop Frame Die from Die Cuttin Divas

The Flower design was die cut out on my cameo and 

popped up with Dimension. I added some Clear Wink of Stella

to the flowers & Leaves -

The Sentiment was stamped from a Simon Says Stamp

called (Circle Friends)

Other Products used -Misti, Neenah Solar

White Cardstock for the card base,

White Fun Foam, Bazzill White Cardstock for Printing on my

Canon Printer, Cameo for the Die Cuts,

Acrylic Sealer Spray to protect the ink jet coloring.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FABULOUS DAY!!

Pretty & Rare...

Hello & Happy Tuesday Crafty Peeps!

I've got a million and one things going on

so I'll make this post short & sweet!

This is one of those quick CAS cards!

I actually had several pieces ready to go, so my card

was super quick to put together!

I made the background awhile back with some Alcohol Inks 

The Unicorn image is from Pink & Main (Colored awhile ago) with

some Spectrum Noir pens and a clear Wink of Stella pen

The Sweet Sentiment is from Jaded Blossom (Unicorns & Glitter)

The Stitched Rectangle Frame Die & Daisy Frame Die are from My Creative Time

I just cut the daisy flower off of the frame

I attached the white card front to a white piece of Fun Foam then

adhered it to a Purple A2 size Card base (4 1/4 x 5 1/2)

Cardstock - Yupo, Neenah Solar White, Stampin' Up, Spectrum Noir Ultra

Christmas Angel

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!

YAY! It's the weekend yet again!

I'll make this a short post so you can

get on with your Weekend plans!

We all know it's November... which

means Thanksgiving is right around the corner

and so is Christmas! EEK! I'm sure some of you

probably haven't even started your Christmas cards yet!

Well... I'm trying to encourage you to get started

so here's an Elegant and yet quick Christmas card -

I used some beautiful Washi Tape for my design and a Gorgeous Angel die

from Gina Marie Designs - The Angel die was cut out 3x's for added 

dimension - I die cut a Vellum circle to put behind the Angel

so she wouldn't blend too much into the background -

My stitched Rectangle Frame is from My Creative Time

and it's all popped up on a piece of Fun Foam

Before anyone asks - I use Stick It Adhesive for my layering of the Angel -

I just add the stick it to a piece of white cardstock - then cut it down some

so it could fit into my Gemini Jr. - Saving the extra adhesive cardstock

for another time/project - :)

Here's the inside all done and ready to go!

I added a strip of the red glittered Washi tape and stamped

my sentiment with some Momento Tuxedo Black Ink in my Misti

The Sentiment is from My Craft Spot (No longer in Business)

Let me know in the comments if you started your Christmas cards already

OR If you're thinking about it but haven't started OR if You are

all done and ready to go like I am! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!!
