Easter Baskets - Guest Designer!

Mary Trevantino loves the Quietfire bunny baskets!  She says these project just tickled her!

Mary wrote to me to share her sweet versions of my digital cutting files which are available on the Silhouette Design Store.

She said she assembled the critters with a sort of "hinge" between the two bunny pieces so they would be open wider all the way down. (Love the bowtie!)

 

She added the sweetest face on this bunny and embellishments!

This bunny is all dressed up in her floral best!
 Mary also added some chipboard layers under the base to give the project a bit more stability.  Good idea!

Here are the projects as they appear on the Silhouette Design Store so you can see Mary has had a lot of fun making them ready for Easter!

 

Thanks for dropping by to have a look and a big thank you to Mary for sharing her creations!
Hoppy Easter!

Hippity Hoppity Easter basket and cards

Hi everyone and it's so nice to see you again on the Quietfire digital blog.  Today i have a few fun projects that i made up with the new Quietfire Bunnyville digital papers, tags and washi tapes.  I printed up lots of these pretty designs and had a blast making up some pretty things to give away for Easter this year.  Grab a cup of tea and join me for a quick tutorial.

For my projects i printed up 1 page of each of the scrapbook paper prints on my 8 1/2 x 11 printer. The papers will be slightly smaller and have a white border around them.  I also found that when you print them you can also change the scale of the print and make it smaller and print a 6x6 size.  You will have to play with your printer but this is an amazing find because you can also have all those adorable little prints just for smaller things and for cards.  I was so excited to find this little trick.

To make the baskets i cut a strip of the Washi tape to make the top border.  Then i cut 5 strips of paper that were 3/4 inch by 10 inches.  I glued them side by side at the bottom edge of the border strip and then repeated the bottom edge of the strip again criss crossing the papers to make the basket weave.

Then i glued it together at the ends to make a circle with strong double sided adhesive or you can hot glue gun it too.  The handle is another small strip of the dotted paper or you can even use some of the Washi borders.  I added lots of easter grass and white satin bows to the sides and it's all ready to stuff with lots of easter treats to give away.  

The bunny card is made with the bunny print from the Scrapbook papers and i also reprinted the stripe in a 6x6 size to go under the Washi tape border.  You can also die cut your own flowers from the paper and then you really have a fun piece of art to give away.  Perfectly matched and you can make them for everyone... i really love that.

And for my second card i shrunk down the paper again on the zig zag print to a 6x6 size and added a little strip of the Washi paper across the front and a pretty flower and a ribbon to match.  The backround print is a tiny green dot.  My favorite thing about the papers is that the colors go perfect together and you can print another piece if you mess up.  So go ahead and have fun and let yourself be creative.  You never know what you might come up with.

Thanks so much for stopping by to get a few more digital ideas and be sure and stop by the digital store for the Washi tapes and tags too.

                                                         Have a wonderful day!! Teresa

May Each Treasured Memory

Sometimes you need a card like this....

When you use a cut file card base the project will actually come together very quickly.  The hardest part is deciding on the paper.

I used the Leafy Garden Frame Card (on Silhouette) with Maja Design patterned cardstock, along with the Quietfire stamped sentiments. It was that easy!

Supplies:

Quietfire Design May Each Treasured Memory

Quietfire With Deepest Sympathy

2. Stamp May Each Treasured Memory on the smallest oval for the card front.  Stamp With Deepest Sympathy on the inside.



Thanks for stopping in to have a look.  I hope this helps you create your own sympathy card.  It would be nice if we never needed them!

The children at the Black Mountain Home, enjoyed the Halloween rings so much I cut a

kaleidoscope of butterflies, flock of sheep and chicks,and a herd of bunnies.

We also used the cut sheets as stencils and templates.

I can't show you their beautiful faces, just the work of their hands and hearts.

It's your lucky day...

Welcome to the digital blog and thank you for stopping by to view my first post here.  It's Teresa here using the new "Lucky Shamrock digital paper" set today and wow was it ever fun to use.  My favorite part about using digital papers is that you can print as much as you need at home without having to go to a store.  And-- if you mess up you can just print another piece right there and then-- so I am totally for that.  I made 3 really quick cards with the sets and I hope that you can do a few quick tonight and pass them out tomorrow with a few chocolates for friends and family....

The best part about each of these card is that they only took about 10 mins or less to make.  The Washi strips are my favorite because they have all these adorable designs on the sheet and they are the perfect size for cards.  I also used the new tag set that goes with it.  These are on a tiny sheet of paper that you can easily cut apart to decorate your cards!!   How fun is that :)

For this card i used a piece of green glitter paper for the base of my card that i had in my stash and added 3 pieces of the Washi tape over the striped paper from the digital file.  It was super easy and to finish it i just added a bow from some ribbons i had in my stash.  

Here is a closeup of the pretty designs in the papers...

And lastly i made this card with strips of paper that i cut from the digital paper file and tied it with a simple piece of jute.  I also found this huge shamrock and it matched perfect so i added that on the top of the papers with a 3D Foam Square and a pretty gold rhinestone for luck.  

Simple, easy and you can make them up in less than an hour!

Cutie Pi Scrapbook Layout

Hello, Connie Nichol here today.  It was National Pi day yesterday on March 14, so I've missed it by a day.  Oh well.

This cut file is adorable, whether you are a chemistry geek like I am, you want a pi sign for National Pi Day or you need the word 'cute' for a layout or card.  It's available in the Silhoutte Store here, or if you have a different electronic cutting machine, email Suzanne@quietfiredesign.com to purchase the file as a svg cut file.  It makes such a cute page title.

To decorate the background, I used one of the new Quietfire Design heart shaped stencil manufactured by Elizabeth Craft Design.  I mixed molding paste with a few drops of Izinks pigment ink to make blue and pink, and applied it through the stencil (dry between colours so you don't smear the existing hearts).  While the molding paste was still damp, I sprinkled with clear ultra-fine glitter to add some sparkle.

That's pretty much it.  I added small scraps of paper, lace and fabric on the left side of the photo and called it good.  I like that the focus is on the photo in this layout.  It's a small photo so it would be easy to overwhelm.  Happy Scrapbooking! 

Supplies:  Stampin Up cardstock, Ranger molding paste, Clearsnap Izink ink, Elizabeth Craft Design stencil, Silhouette Cameo, cut file by Suzanne Cannon, Brother sewing machine
