Nouveau Rose Lantern

Hi Y'all!
Robyn here thinking Spring!
These lanterns have become my go to hostess gift
and this all occasion  Nouveau Rose is only two pieces!
with optional liner.
Almost as easy as buying a plant and you don't have to water it!
On The Mat

A battery votive lights it up!
And it folds flat for mailing!
I couldn't decide on pink or yellow liner so I used both!
Spring Fever!

Assembling the Quietfire Pop Up Box in a Card





Usually, I'm referring to a Card in a Box, but now I'm so confused.  This is a card in a box in a card!  I've just created a series of these for Easter and Spring and I'm using the Baby Bunny Pop Up Box in a Card to show you how it's made.  You can find all my Pop Up Box in a Cards at Silhouette.

Follow along on the video tutorial for all the details.  The box is constructed just like the Card in a Box, except there is a little extra to assemble: The box is inserted in a card base!  These cards are 5x7" and are all basically assembled the same with with variation in embellishments.

Happy Creating!

Dinosaur Monogram - Wishing You Whimsy - Accordion card

Yogi here today and I wanted to do something with the Periodic Table letters... but then got side tracked with the dinosaur font...  BIG GRIN

Card size is 4.25"h x 5.25"w (card closed) Opens to 31.5"

I'm using sentiment stamps from Quietfire Design ("Wishing You Whimsy..." 4pce set)

And am using an electronic Monogram file (OTF) from Suzanne Cannon available on Silhouette onLine store. Click image to purchase.

Opened SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) software and typed the "Badlands" word, one letter at a time. Selected all and enlarged. Cut from white cardstock and while still on the mat colored with colored pencils. Removed from mat and set aside.

Created a large shadow layer for each letter and cut from black cardstock. Adhered both layers together.

 Created the accordion fold structure. Cut an 8.5 x 11" mint green and baby blue cardstock in half length wise to make 2 pieces of 4.25" x 11" of each color. Cut the lengths in half to make a bunch of 4.25"h x 5.5"w pieces. Scored and creased each piece at 1/4". Adhered to the back of the next color. Starting with a green, then a blue, then a green etcetera. 6pcs total for this card.

When all assembled ran through my embossing machine using Cuttlebug Happy Birthday embossing folder, moving the folder over each time - till the whole card was embossed.

Pic below is the back side:

Adhered my colored letters onto each page section, placing 2 smaller letters on one page and the larger letter as a single on the next page.  
 
Stamped the words onto white cardstock using Versafine Clair "Glamorous" ink pad, and masking between the words on the stamp. Cut around each word section and hit the edge direct to paper with Distress "Faded Jeans". Adhered to each page.
 
Final touch, added a bead of Viva Iridescent Glitter down the center of each letter. Sorry hard to see that detail...

 This would make such a cute card for a little boy  (or girl...) who like dinosaurs or things prehistoric. BIG GRIN.

Periodic Table Yoga Scrapbook Layout

Hello, Connie Nichol here with a quick and easy yoga themed scrapbook layout.  I used the Periodic Table Yoga cut file designed by Suzanne Cannon to cut the title out of dark purple cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo.  I love periodic element words and Suzanne has designed a whole variety of them as well as a periodic element font that is available in the Silhouette Design store.


Once the title was in place, the rest of the project followed very quickly.  I added pictures (the yoga schedule is a screenshot from a scheduling app on my phone), a few embellishments and a stamped Quietfire Design quote.  I've never tried yoga before but was surprised at how much I enjoyed it and that my old inflexible body could do it.  Ha! I guess you're never too old to try new things.  Thanks for stopping by, Connie
