Follow Your Rainbow

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It is my day to share a project over on the PPPR blog.  I am so excited to show you the project I created with one of Lisa's cute files!!

Lisa released THIS cute rainbow a few weeks ago.  I just loved it!  I decided to make a shape card with it:

First I created a shadow of the rainbow, then made a rectangle and welded the two together.  I decided to cut the rainbow in pretty traditional rainbow colours.  I think it's SO cute!!

I decided to emboss the background with my cloud embossing folder.  It adds a pretty dimension.  I tied it all together with this cute sentiment from CTV Stamps "This 'n' That" stamp set.  It was perfect for the card!

Name Buttons - PDE Linky Party

Happy Friday everyone!  It's challenge day over at PDE Linky Parties.  Miss Janis, challenged us to create any crafty project.  I love me some creative freedom...   Here is what I created.

A while back, I helped put together a fundraiser for a camp my children attend, and my husband I volunteer for.  The organizer, asked me to make some name buttons for other volunteers.  I found some blanks pins made by "Creatology", but had no idea how to create the rest of the button.  

Then it occurred to me - Print and Cut with my Cameo!!  I had never done it before, so enter YouTube!  I found a video tutorial and voila!  Beautiful, easy name pins.

I hope you all play along with us!  I can't wait to see what you create!

Let it Snow

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It is my day to share a project over on the PPPR blog.  I am so excited to show you the project I created with Lisa's cute files!!

I love this cutie little snowman, and I decided to put her on a shape card.  She cut like a dream and layered perfectly, which is my favorite thing about PPPR files - well that, and they are SO cute!!!  The sentiment is from CDDs "Snowman Kisses".

This is the snowman (or snowgirl) file I used.  You can grab it HERE.  The card was made in my Silhouette Design Studio.  I used the tag from the Safari Love file, that you can find HERE.  I manipulated it a bit, and duplicated it then welded them together, and VOILA!  A shape card!

Here is what I created. 

I always find colour challenges a bit of... well a challenge...  I don't quite know how to filter my ideas, and I always feel like I need to use every colour.  This time, I trued to do things a little differently.  I picked one color to focus on and went from there.  I picked the peachy/salmony colour.  After that, I chose the file I wanted to use - the adorable smiling rose, and things flowed pretty smoothly from there!

The card base is a PPPR file - A2 Card Base 3.  I have used it a bit lately, and plan to use it more - I am loving it!  You can pick up your own HERE

The cutie flower is one I LOVE!!  He looks SO cheerful.  He is from the "Flower Faces" cutting file.

The sentiment is from Craftin Desert Divas "Blooming for You" stamp set.  Isn't it perfect for this card??
