Meet Twinkle, the Elephant (Gift Card Box)


Hello my friends!

I came across this sweet little elphant a while back. My cousin is going to have another baby by the end of summer, so I decided to make this gift card box for her and the baby. As we don´t know if it´s going to be a boy or a girl (surprise, surprise), I chose a neutral colour that will fit both. I decided on different shades of yellow heavy carstock, because this is a bright and cheery colour. 



After I ungrouped and cut the elements I added some embellishments to the banner, the wheels and the eye. 



When all is done you can assemble the elements. You can find a tutorial on assembeling the Quietfire gift card boxes here. There is a video tutorial online too.

Birthday Banner Card


Hello digital cutting friends! 
My kids seem to be invited to a birthday party every other week. I like to personalize cards, so I decided on using the QFD Birthday Banner Monogram Font. I printed the initial of the birthday boy´s name, coloured the banner and did a scan and cut.

 

I decided on a blue background to go with a yellow card using heavy cardstock.


To make it look more cheery and happy I added ballons
Make sure to cut many different colours and sizes.


Adhere the ballons to the left and the right side of the card. You may also add some other embellishments like rhinestones or pearls et voilá you have a finished personalized birthday card. 

Happy crafting!
Kora

Tangled Heart Tote and Tag



Hi all! Kora here. 
It´s my turn again. I needed a little gift box to give to a friend for her birthday. As a Mum I am always in some hurry, so I needed a simple and fast project. The Tangled Heart Tote and Tag is an easy project and is done quickly. 

First you must pick the colours of your choice. I decided on plain pink (for the tote body and the tag base) and patterned paper (roses) for the tote layers and the tag layer. 




If you use patterned paper make sure that you put the paper on the cutting mat in the right position (or flip the elements)  Otherwise, as in my case, you will end up with the roses being upside down (one can only learn from experience).

Once you have cut all elements, it´s time to assemble them. It´s kind of self-explaining really. 


You can find a tutorial on how to assemble the tote here.

When finished use some raffia to tie the tag to the tote. Now you can adhere some rhinestones or beads or whatever else you want to use to decorate it. Fill with chocolate and or a little gift. 




Thanks for stopping by. Happy crafting!

Bug Love Car Card in a Box Decoration -Surfboard Gift Box - Birds and Animals Dingbat Font - Print and Cut

Hi Y'all!
Robyn here with another  Quietfire Design digital mashup!
My first car was a Beetle, 
and even tho I say learning to drive (in my 30's) 
was the biggest mistake I've 
ever made...
Driving  this 3D love bug will put you (and the critters  of your choice)
in the drivers seat to creativity and miles of smiles!
Not to mention....
Surfs up!
And it folds flat for mailing!
Aside from your Silhouette, no license required.
Full list of files and supplies listed at the end of the post.
On the Mat

Using the 3D car as the base, I added in the surf board
extracted from the Surfboard gift box.
I cut 4 of the top pieces and glued them together for dimension.

On the Mat

After several embellishment and sentiment fails, I decided to print the
Surf's up
right on the outer shell of the car.
  • Ungroup the car pieces
  • place the outer side car on the mat and change the fill color to white
  • Size the surfs up to fit on the car piece
  • Turn on registration marks and place the piece on the mat
  • Turn off cut lines to the car 
  • Send to printer
  • Place the printed paper in Silhouette and turn on cut lines for the car-cut.

*****TIP*****
Use  the Text tool to write notes to yourself on the mat while you are in design phase.
If I get distracted, it helps me to remember what/why I was doing when I come back.


Moose and Bear are in their baggies ready to catch some big water!

******TIP*****
If you are cutting similar pieces from many colors, cut lots! 
You will use them!

I fyouare having difficulty cutting, don't assume you need a new blade.
It could be:
  • blade hight
  • blade pressure
  • mat too sticky or not sticky enough
  • bits of stuff on the mat


Or in this case the paper
No matter what I tried, that light paper would not cut
 and it came from the same pack as all the other papers.
The darker paper, cut perfectly, was done with the same blade I was using to cut 
the lighter piece- so save yourself some hair and toss that sheet!
If you need that particular color, cut it in white and ink it!

Unbearably cute!
