Mother's Day Box Card...

Hello Crafty Friends!

I just couldn't wait to share the lovely Floral Box Card I made from the SVGCuts.com Box Card SVG kit. Hurry over and get it while it is still free with purchase.

We are having a Mother's Day BBQ at my sisters on Sunday and this will go to one of the BEST moms in the world...MINE!!!!  :)  (No worries...she won't see this in social media.)  LOL!

Got a few more projects I'm working on...I hope I get them all done before Friday.  Busy weekend.  :)

Bridesmaid invites and flip flop boxes...

Hello Crafty Friends!

You just never know how wonderful people will come into your life.  Ally found me on fb!!!  She saw the boxes I had made for a bridal shower gift I did quite awhile ago, and asked if I could make some for her. (You can find the post and credits here.)  So, I made these cutie flip flop boxes for  the lovely Bride-to-Be for her to present to her friends and ask them to be her maid of honor, bridesmaids and Jr. bridesmaids.  I hope you enjoy as much as we did.

Some of the girls got shot glasses with little bottles of their favorite booze and others (under 21) got perfume.  I loved this idea and was so glad I could help her out.  I love how her and her friends roll!

Congratulations Allison!!  Remember to keep me posted!!  :)

Birthday card...

Hello Crafty Friends!

I have a birthday card to share today.  Got to love embossing folders when you are in a rush and need to get a card out quick!

Enjoy!

Bridal Shower Luncheon Invite...

Hello My Crafty Friends!

Well I am back from another of many little mini vacations we have lined up for this summer.  I will share about that in my next blog post.  Let's just say that it isn't a family vacation for us unless "someone" or "something" gets broke.  ;)

For now I am ready to share one of the many projects I have going on for this summer and that is a bridal shower luncheon invitation.  This was totally inspired by Valita at Valita's Designs and Fresh Folds.  If you haven't been over to her blog, please go check it out.  She is fabulous!  She is one of the inspirations for me to get into this whole blogging thing.  LOL!  (She doesn't know it, but probably now does, hehe)  I am not ashamed that I am a total stalker.  :)

Here is her post that inspired me...Wedding Dress Card.  Gorgeous right?!  (I'm assuming you went and checked it out?)

I am so excited to be helping out with one of my favorite families who will be getting a new daughter in law this year.  I helped with their daughter Kristine's (pictured below) shower and wedding projects last year you might recall.  She married my Besties son.  You can see the items I made for them under the wedding label over on the left hand side of my blog.  When I saw Valita's Wedding Card I just knew it would be the perfect Bridal Shower Luncheon invitation for Melissa.

And without further ado. here is my version:

Here is the outside of the invitation.

And here is the inside.

I would like to apologize to the designer of
this clothes hanger .svg file.  I downloaded
back before I knew the proper etiquette
for labeling .svg files.  If this belongs to you
please let me know and I will be sure to credit you
and link you to this blog.  

As you can see, loads of hangers.  :)

I used my Xyron to make these sticky
as they were too skinny for
my ATG gun to tape.  :)

Kristine, my wonderful helper.  

And I am not above using child labor...JK.
This is my niece Taylor punching all the tiny flowers.
Never tell auntie you are bored 2 weeks into
summer vacation.  I will find something for
you to do.  LOL!

We put little glitter Stickles dots in random flowers to give a little sparkle.  Sorry the pictures are so blurry, I only had my Iphone available to me at the time.  Takes better outdoor than indoor shots.  : /

I would also like to thank my Bestie, Delene for her help also.  She is on summer break and I am going to keep her busy also.  LOL!  <3 you girls, you are the BEST!!!!

I hope you enjoyed my little project.  I will be back with another soon.  :)

Stay tuned!

Another Mother's Day card...

Hi Friends!

Here is another Mother's Day card.  I made a 3D Hydrangea flower from Penny Duncan Creations.  You can find her .svg file here at her Etsy Store.  Here is her Youtube link where you can find her tutorial.  I used the crumpled up piece of tissue for my center.  I love Penny's .svg files and tutorials.

 I wasn't sure how many petals I was
going to need for the flower and made to much.  :)
The extras I just scattered around the card.   

I cut out on the blue background card stock and then inked
the edges with a darker blue ink and purple.
I like the life like look of the petals.  :) 

I made it a easel card. 

Until next time....

Kristine's Bridal Shower...

Hello Friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful day today.  I surely did.  Today was my bestie Delene, soon to be daughter in laws, bridal shower.  We all have such a GREAT time when we get together.

I made her this card with the help of Penny Duncan Creations Peony Petals .svg file (It is in the Flower section on her left side bar).  I used a center from a flower that I got at SVGCuts.com.  I had some Peony leaves left over from another project and wrapped floral tape around some candy sticks.  Tied it all together with a white ribbon to make look like a bouquet and adhered to card.  Wha-la!  :)

What do you think?  I was so happy with how it turned out.  

Hugs,

Challenge Week 4 at The Paper Dolls

**UPDATE**
Unfortunately it has been brought to my attention that this file is no longer from the SVGShop.  :( Sorry.

Hello Friends!

I know I haven't entered a challenge in a while, but when I saw this one today over at The Paper Dolls I just had to.  As soon as I saw this fabulous Flip Flop Box .svg file from Eleanor over at the SVGShop, well I had the perfect idea in mind.

I immediately thought of those bride and groom flip flops that you can get at most wedding shops that have the words on the bottom of the shoe, so when you walk on the sand it leaves the imprint Bride/Groom.  So I played around a little with my SCAL2 and came up with this for a bridal shower gift.  (You could totally make a combo Bride/Groom gift and make one in black and put Groom on the bottom of the sole.  Make them a left and a right.)  :)  Just an idea. hehe You know I always have ideas.

What do you think?

See how I stamped Congratulations to look like
a shoe manufacturer logo.  :)

I embossed the straps and added a flower spritzed
with a sparkly mist and added a rhinestone to the
center of the flower.

I used a Sizzix embossing folder to run the bottom
sole through after I put cut out the word Bride
with my SCAL2.  (hint: make sure you layout the
word correctly to go with the shoe direction.)  hehe
Took me 2 tries to figure this out.  LOL

I would love to hear what you think.

Have a GREAT day!
