Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hi, everyone! I've got a fun St. Patrick's day project for you!

I thought since I married into a Bailey family, I ought to post something today to celebrate the occasion!  

Here's a fun door hanger to brighten up your day.

When I was cutting this, I thought the pattern was super cute but I think the cuteness factor went way over the top after I added Joy's stamp from her Yummy Puns set!

You can check out Joy's stamps here.  She's also has THREE new sets coming out!  Joy's offering some great pre-order and bundle deals so I hope you'll check them out. 

This adorable SVG comes from SVGCuts Charm and Chance set.  I cut it out using Sure Cuts A Lot software and my Cricut.  You can also use your Silhouette with their files.  I resized the file to fit my door knob and added some glitter paper for the shamrock to spice it up a bit.  The banner is a strip of paper that I cut by hand and popped up with some foam tabs.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a safe and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 

Happy Fall Door Hanger

Hello, everyone! Hope your Fall is going well!

I wanted to share with you a door hanger that I made recently. I used files from SVG Cuts Pick A Pumpkin Set for the centerpiece. You can use it as a card but I thought they were so darn cute that I wanted something I could hang in the house for all to see. This was the first time I designed the base using Sure Cuts A Lot. It was super simple but after the project was done, I realized I made the hole a tad too large. Oh, well! I decided not to cut it again and just go with the original.

This was the first time I tried to photograph a project in the evening in my craft room with some new bright daylight CFL bulbs. There are some shadows but I think it came out pretty well. I just had to do a minor temperature adjustment on the photo to catch the correct color scheme.

For the fun of it, I'm going to enter this in the following challenges:

Ninja Birthday Card

Hello, everyone!!
I recently took advantage of a 40% off sale at Lettering Delights. One of the SVG sets I purchased was Ninja Kicks. I couldn't resist. I figured the cuts would be really cute on unconventional layouts and cards.

I have never used the shadow and weld features in Sure Cuts A Lot until now. I found it to be super easy. There are many videos out there if you need help doing it. The cake shadow is improvised...it wouldn't have fit on my 12x12 mat if I didn't do it this way.

I love the way the card came out. I think he's a super cute Ninja!!
I'm going to enter the project in the following challenges:

Creative Sisters Monday Challenge - Think Spring!

I just discovered that Patti-Lynn Creations is hosting a Think Spring Challenge! Yay!

In my previous post, I mentioned that I just bought the Sure Cuts Alot software and am CRAZY for the files you can get over at SVG Cuts. Well, when I found this latest challenge, I just had to whip up one of the bird houses.

The one thing I enjoy about Spring is hearing the birds chirping after going through a quiet winter.

Hope you enjoy the project! Thanks for stopping by! Your comments sure are appreciated.

Sure Cuts Alot & SVG Cuts

Well, after a free trial period, I decided to make the jump and purchase the Sure Cuts Alot software! I had to go with SCAL instead of Make The Cut since I own a Mac.
I have to say I am so pleased with the first projects I made. The software was easy to install and I was cutting right away! I bought my first SVG files from SVG Cuts and I like how the files are color coded. They help keep me straight when placing my paper on my cutting mat. Also, they have a free file about once a week you can download! Yay!
Here are 3 projects I put together yesterday. I am so excited with how they came out and look forward to making more!
