Watercolored Autumn Filled Mandala Pumpkin Card

Hello! Kim here today! We are just days away from officially moving from summer to autumn, but here in Alberta there is no denying the seasons are switching! I have a bit of a love affair with all things autumn, and have been secretly celebrating it’s arrival! Today’s project share does just that!

The instant I saw this new Autumn Mandala Filled Pumpkin cutfile, I knew it was going to be a favourite! I loved the intricate design!

I uploaded the file into my Cricut Design Space and resized to a height of six inches. I wanted to make a 5x7 card, but was worried the fine lines would be a challenge to cut. I considered a few options of substrate from paper, vinyl and also cardstock with double sided adhesive attached. I decide on Cricut’s adhesive foil, and so glad I did. It cut beautifully and kept all the fine lines intact and well...it’s shiny! 

Next I carefully ‘weeded’ out the negative space of the design, using transfer paper, I easily applied the image onto a piece of watercolour paper.

I was excited to add colour to my mandala. I had purchased a set of handmade water colours last year in Kauai and they always make me smile. They are luscious and lovely to paint with! I sprayed some water on my project to allow the colours to flow as I applied them! I am not concerned about perfection with the process, it’s the variations and imperfections that make watercolour magical!

My sentiment is an older, discontinued Quietfire stamp that I felt suited the card perfectly. Honestly there are so many sentiments that could be used if this one is not in your stash already!

Thanks for checking into the Quietfire Digital Blog today, be sure to scroll through past projects for more amazing inspiration! The design team has lots of sweet ideas up their sleeves!

Halloween Card Using HALLOWEEN TREE CUPCAKE BOX

Hello! Here we are on the 19th of August already. I feel as if summer is moving along too fast but also love the season that follows! I love crisp days, autumn colours and Halloween! I got the urge to make a Halloween card this weekend despite the 29C day!

Browsing through Suzanne’s Silhouette store, I found the perfect cut file for what I had in mind! The Halloween Tree Cupcake Box! The file cut as made, is pretty sweet, but I did not need all the elements that made it 3D!

I pulled the design into my Design Space, I use a Cricut Maker.

 

Next I hid all the elements I did not require. This left me with the tree, owl, bat, cat and part of the box. Using my software I grabbed a square and used the “slice” feature to remove the box. If you are not sure how to do this, it is just as easy to cut  the entire piece and cut using scissors. I cut two identical images.

My background and moon were layered using some gel prints I had previously made. I can get lost in that process and just save all the prints for use in cards, journals and scrapbooks.

I took one of my images and sliced off the owl, cat and bat with scissors.

I embosses these parts using Quietfire Design Gilding Powders in Copper Scroll and Gothic Black. I like the extra texture it adds when adhered to the full cut image.

As a finishing touch, I used the Quietfire Design stamp, Something Wicked, with Gothic Black Gilding Powder to add my sentiment!

I finished the card with some littles eye details using a Dylusions Paint Pen and some purple washi tape. I can’t wait to send it off to someone this coming October!

Thanks for checking out my project this week! Let's not whisk away summer too quick, but there is no shame in feeling some Autumn feels!

Making the Quietfire Fun Flowers

Meet the Quietfire Fun flowers! These flowers are so pretty and simple - they aren't supposed to look like any real flower, but they're fun and so cheery to add to a gift or just have on a table or window ledge.

The Fun Flowers are available on my Silhouette site here: http://bit.ly/2oAR9e6 (if you make a purchase by using this link, I *might* get a small commission!)

You make them by rolling the petal strip. Watch this short video for the details.  Happy creating!

Making the Left-Center-Right 3-Letter Monogram Fonts

I'm delighted to share this with you!  I've been thinking about it for months and worried it was far too complicated.  But when I sat down and applied the KISS theory to it, things fell into place!

You may find something different online and you can adjust your monogram to whatever format suits you.  A classic monogram font is created using your

first name initial on the left,
middle name initial on the right and the
last name initial larger in the middle. 

This is what mine looks like by combining the 

Left Flourish Monogram Font (S), the Center Flourish Monogram Font (C) and
the Right Flourish Monogram Font (E).  

You will need all three fonts to accomplish this type of monogram.

If you're creating a monogram for a married couple, their last initial goes in the middle (larger), the bride's first initial to the left and the groom's to the right.  For instance (oh, this is tough! Most of my friends kept their maiden names!) ....  When George married Martha, this would have been their monogram (made in the colours of her geraniums!):

To create our 3-Letter Monogram in Silhouette Studio:
You will need the three fonts:

• Type out the first letter, highlight it and use the drop-down menu to choose the QFD Left Flourish Monogram Font.  
• Separately type out the middle initial, highlight it and choose the QFD Middle Flourish Monogram Font.
• And lastly type out the right initial, highlight it and choose the QFD Right Flourish Monogram Font.  
• Once you click off these they become objects, so you can align them.
• Click the middle initial and enlarge it to the size you want.  
• Now move the other two initials closer so the flourishes overlap until you like the look of the monogram.  
• Group all the letters together and enlarge to the size you need.  Of course, add some colour!  All the letters can be the same colour, or they can all be different!
• You can print them, just like this in a frame of your choice, or weld them together and cut out the detailed 3-Letter Monogram!
• Warning - it's like eating chips.  It's really hard to stop at one!

Beautiful!  Have fun!

Assembling the Treat Dispensing Christmas Tree Decoration

Treat Dispensing Christmas Tree Decoration

Love how this little tree-shaped decoration with the pull-down drawer mechanism turned out!  It's ready to dispense a holiday treat! The Treat Dispensing Christmas Tree Decoration design can be found at the Silhouette Design store HERE.

Here is how you assemble it:
Fold all the perforated score lines up, flip over and add adhesive to all the tabs as shown.

Begin assembling the box....

Flip over....  Keep going!

Cut the little drawer covers in your choice of colours and add them to the front of the pull down drawer.

Assemble the boxes in a tree shape.  Add ribbon pulls to each drawer.
Fold the star and adhere back to back at the top.  Apply the on-lay in your choice of colours. 
Fill and enjoy!
