Arches Frame Card with Destiny Quote

Hello Connie Nichol here today with a simple card featuring the Quietfire Arches Frame Card electronic cutting file. 

The cut file can be downloaded in the Silhouette Store here.  It's a lovely cut file that can be used for the basis for many greeting cards.  Cut the components out of plain cardstock, patterned paper or both.  The central circle is perfect for adding a stamped quote to the card.  

I used teal and white cardstock and then dressed the card base up a little bit with a Quietfire Design stencil and some glitter paste.  Use some low tack tape to keep your stencil from moving during the application of the glitter paste.  It will dry quickly and adds such a nice touch to the card.

I stamped the Quietfire Design Destiny quote onto the smallest circle and adhered it to the card along with a bit of ribbon and a few paper flowers.  That's it for today - have a great week!

Twinkle Twinkle - Shoot For The Moon

Yogi here today and I had an urge to create this twinkle card. Love the lyrics. I remember creating a calligraphic piece of it in a class I took with Betty Locke eons ago...

I'm using a quote stamp on the inside from Quietfire Design "Soar Collection" 8pce set also available on Elizabeth Craft Designs HERE

And am using the "You're A Star" font from Suzanne available on Silhouette and the Twinkle Twinkle file. Click image to purchase. 

Scored, and folded my white cardstock to create my side fold card (7"w x 5"h) splicing another piece on the inside. Adhered a piece of deep blue paper to the front.

Opened my SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) software. Resized the star spray to 3.595"w x 2.442"h and the words to 5"w x 3.92"h. Cut from white cardstock. Inked the star burst with Versamark and embossed with silver embossing powder.

Inked the words with Versamark and embossed Emerald Creek "Winter Mistake", but didn't like the lack of contrast against the blue so reinked with Versamark and silver embossing powder. Don't know if you can see it but the words have a beautiful textural effect now. Love the contrast between the stars and the words. Adhered to front.

On the inside - left side:
In Excel, I created the text for the lyrics in Arial font and the letter "H" using "You're a Star" OTF font. Printed out on white cardstock. Die cut with Elizabeth Craft Designs "Stitched Rectangles" die set. Inked around edges direct to paper with Distress "Faded Jeans"
On the inside - right side:
Adhered a piece of the deep blue paper. Stamped the quote using Versamark and embossing with silver embossing powder.

Punched out a 1"circle from white cardstock. Put some blue streaks through the moon and adhered to inside.

Baby Scrapbook Layout

Hello, Connie Nichol here today with a 8.5 x 11 layout featuring digital cut files from Suzanne Cannon's Baby Boy Bendi Card cut file available here in the Silhouette Store.  I had one of those tiny wallet sized photographs of my youngest son laying around my house and I wanted to scrapbook it before it got lost or damaged.  It's from the days when you used to take your babies to Sears for the photo packages in the portrait studio.  Those department store photo studios have certainly disappeared in the last few years.

Many of the cut files that are designed by Suzanne Cannon to create cards also typically have many components that work beautifully on scrapbook layouts.  In this case, the title and the adorable little cars, planes and footprints come from the Bendi card cut file.  Here's what the card would look like.  Cute, huh?

In addition to the digital elements, I also used a Quietfire Design Baby stamp from the 'Welcome Little One' collection and the Hearts Spray die to create a temporary stencil.  I just cut the hearts out of a scrap piece of white cardstock and dabbed some blue chalk ink through the cut out shapes.  Just be sure to tack down your temporary stencil with some washi tape to keep it in place while you are using it.

Add a few sequins, beads or dew drops as an accent and make sure to put names and dates on your layout (in this case I put them on the back on the page).  Thanks for stopping by, Connie

Bless these Blooms Home Decor Project

It's Suzanne here today.  I have these gorgeous Hydrangeas.  Some of the flowers said they wanted to come into the house.....  They needed a container just for them, so I created one.

Check out how it's done in this Tiny Tutorial that I've uploaded to YouTube.  Pause it if it's too fast.  It's a really easy project!

Birds and Animals Dingbat Font- Love Lives here

Hi y'all!

Robyn here with an easy watercolor ATC for everyone who says,

"I can't draw."

Living in the Beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, bears are a way of life , and one of the reasons we love living here.

Suzanne's Birds and Animals Dingbat Font

sketches out for you the outline of the bear, 

and the rest is just looking at the mountains and letting the paint do what it will!

You don't even need a digital cutter. You can load the Fonts into your word processor.

On the mat

Birds and Animals Dingbat Font

The bears are the letters J and K.

Be sure your paint is completely dry before stamping with Versafine Black ink and clear embossing.

***TIP***

Put some embossing powder on the paper and see if it sticks. 

If it does, the paint is still too wet.

Love lives here
