Here are my  projects.  I made two baby cards using the Quietfire Baby Doily Card electronic cutting file and the Elizabeth Craft Designs Baby Love dies.  This is a quick and easy card to cut and give.  Just ungroup the elements in the digital file, spread them apart and cut in coordinating colours.  I went with a traditional blue and pink, and added a teeny tiny little pink glitter heart to the front of the onesie.

Here's the component parts......

I added some hand stitching with DMC embroidery thread to the pink card.  In hindsight I think I would have used a contrasting or darker colour of thread to increase its visibility but I love the texture a litle hand stitching adds to a project.

Here's the Baby Love die set.  Isn't it cute?  Use the words separately or together.

CURLED FLOWER STENCIL BIRTHDAY CARD

Hello all! 

Did you see the new stencil cards? Suzanne already designed quite a few of them. You can mix and match them. You can use the stencil and the cutout (like I did). Robyn showed us all the different ways to use the digital file in her last blog post (Ginko Stencil Card).

I used the "Curled Flower Stencil Birthday Card" digital file for both cards. You can find it here.

On the mat

Once you have cut all elements it´s really just putting them together. If you want to use the "negative" cut like I did, use the stencil for help to get everything in the right position.

I added the AWWW Happy Birthday Small. 

What do you think? Which one do you prefer? 

Have a happy and sunny week.

Hello all! 

Kora here with a Happy Birthday Gift Card Box made for a young lady turning seven years.

You can find the digital cutting file here:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIFT CARD BOX

Choose the colors of your choice and let the cutting machine do the rest.

all cut

Suzanne made a video tutorial on how to assemble the box. You can find it here.

I added lots and lots of rhinestones because the birthday girl loves glitter and shimmering stuff. The more the better.

I also quilled the first initial of the girl's name to accompany the card.

Have a happy. crafting week!
