Sunflower Pillow Gift Box

Hello, everyone!

It's Nancy here with you today...sharing a fun new Fall project.

Today I'm featuring the fabulous new Sunflower Pillow Gift Box digital file.

You can find it in the Silhouette Design Store HERE.

Here's my finished box:

Here's what it looks like cut out:

That's all there is to it!

They're so quick and easy to put together!

I inked around the edges of all the pieces before assembling.

Then it was just a matter of doing a little layering and gluing..

I think a whole basket of them would make a lovely presentation.

I always like to add ribbon to my projects where I can,

so I added a ribbon to the box before adhering the sunflower in place.

Then the ribbon just wraps around to the back and ties in a bow.

I think these little Sunflower Pillow Gift Boxes would look beautiful on a Thanksgiving table.

One at each place setting, filled with a treat, would be a lovely treasure for everyone to take home.

You could even add names to the box and use them as place cards.

Chalkboard Easel Cards

Hello Connie Nichol here today with a couple of super simple cards featuring Suzanne Cannon's chalkboard easel cutting file available in the Silhouette store here.  The easel design is a great base for so many different cards - you can use chalk paper and write a message with chalk or a chalk marker, add a stamped sentiment or as I did in my projects, add a die cut word.

I gilded my die cuts with the brand new Quietfire Design gilding powder.  This is an ultra fine embossing powder that comes in six delicious shades.  I dabbed embossing ink on my die cut word, coated with Kells Gold gilding powder and heated with my embossing heat gun. Simple, yet magical to turn white cardstock into a beautiful metallic gold.

For the background of the Hola card, I experimented with gilding droplets of gel medium.  I used a stiff brush, dipped it into the gel medium and flicked it with my finger onto the card background, then coated it with the gilding powder.  Tap off the extra and then heat emboss.  It turned out kind of neat because of the dimension of the gel medium.  You can try this with anything that will make the embossing powder stick so that it can be heat embossed.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Quietfire Design Products Used:  Kells Gold gilding powder,  Happy Birthday - small die, Hola die, Chalkboard Easel cut file

Other Products:  Echo Park patterned paper, Close to my Heart cardstock, chalk paper and chalk marker, Prima gel medium, Faber Castell stiff brush, Clearsnap embossing ink.

Bébé/ Baby Stroller Card

Hello crafty friends!

Kora here again with another fun project: a baby stroller card I made for the newest addition to our family - little baby girl Sophie. I combined the digital file: bébé / baby stroller card with some dies.

First of all, I cut all the different elements using heavy cardstock (violet, pink and light yellow).

After putting them all together I added some rhinestones and a few hearts I cut with the 

Hearts and Pawprints Sprays Metal Cutting Die.

The baby stroller put together and decorated with some rhinestones.

For the inside of the card I decided on stars using these two dies:

Flourished Night Sky

Butterflies and Stars Sprays

And -of course- I again added some rhinestones.

Happy crafting! Thanks for stopping by!

Best Sister

Hello digital friends!

Kora here again with a birthday card. It was my sister's birthday at the beginning of September, so I needed a card. The file comes with "best sister" or "best brother" :-) You can find the digital cutting file here.

 Best Sister cut 

I wanted to add some extra effect to the card so I decided on embossing the best sister lettering with red embossing powder.

The best sister lettering now has a wonderful shimmering look.

I chose a patterned paper (different shades of red) to mat the lettering. And of course some rhinestones. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

There Is Nothing Chocolate Won't Cure - Chocolate Chip - Get Well

 

 Yogi here today with lots of chocolate... Give me some good quality chocolate and I'm in BLISS!!!

I'm using a sentiment stamp from Quietfire Design ("My Dark Side Is Chocolate" 3pce set).

And am using a few of Suzanne's electronic files available on Silhouette onLine store. Click images to purchase. 

 

Opened SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot software) and opened all 3 files, removing things I didn't need including the "a Cake" from the quote. Hid the chocolate chips and the Get Well and printed out the "There Is Nothing..." on white cardstock. Hid the quote I just printed and cut the rest.

 

Top folded my cream cardstock to create my card. Adhered a piece of Co'Ordinations brown cardstock edge to edge on the card front.

Applied ink using a WOW embossing pen and embossing with Emerald Creek "Oil Rubbed Bronze" embossing powder. Trimmed down, sponged some Distress brown around the edges and adhered to card front.

Colored the chocolates using Tombow markers in various shades of brown, leaving the shine piece white. Applied Versamark and clear embossed the whole chocolate. Adhered 3 of them to the card front.

On the inside: Colored the "Get Well" with a Tombow marker and inked with the Versamark and embossed with the bronze. Adhered to inside.

Adhered the remaining chocolate chips.
