Assembling the Holiday Gift Card/ Place Card Holders



Here is a little set of directions for assembling these cutie card holders - it's just a matter of layering on the base, so they're really easy to make!  Perfect for gift cards but great for table place cards.

You can't help but smile when you see them!  You can find them in my Silhouette Design Store.

Cut each of the elements in your chosen colours, fold along the perforated score lines so the hands hold the bottom tab up.  Layer!

Happy creating!

Kitty with Moon


Boooo! 
Hello, my friends!

Halloween is approaching rapidly and I was in need of some decoration. The Kitty with Moon is an easy and fast project and looks good in a window or, as in my case, on the front door.

Open the file "Kitty with Moon" and ungroup the elements.


Once you have cut the elements you can put them all together.






I love the fine details of the cat and the bats.


When all is done you simply have to decide where to put your decoration. I thought it would look good in a window, but my son wanted to put it on the front door - so that´s where it is now.

Happy Halloween!

Maple Tree - Four Seasons


Hello, crafting friends!

Fall has arrived. The leaves are turning red and yellow. I love this time of the year when every tree and every leaf is bright and colorful. The Maple Tree digital cutting file fits just perfectly for the season. The file can be adapted to any season though, as you also get snowflakes. 

Once you have cut all the elements it´s time to assemble them. Make sure you cut many leaves, you will need a lot to cover the whole tree.



I love the extra elements that come with the file (swing and bird).



I added some butterflies using the QFD Butterflies and Stars Sprays Metal Cutting Dies.

Cut the butterflies, take the "negative" and put it onto the card.

Then take the cut butterflies and put them back into the negative (use glue).


When finished you can take the negative off. The butterfly spray now sticks to the card. Add rhinestones if wanted.


Have a happy and COLOURFUL fall!
