Christmas Tags

Hello - I am sharing on the Miss Kate Cuttables blog today! How are your holiday preparations going? Well I created some super cute tags for my great nieces' and nephews' presents this year.

These were so fun and easy to put together!

For all my tags I used the 

Tis The Season To Be Jolly Paper Die Cuts!

and here are some more to look at...

 

Hope I've inspired you to dress up your presents and make some fun tags!

Winter Layout for Miss Kates

Hello! Hope your Winter is going great so far. I'm sharing a winter layout today for my Miss Kates design team project.

If you don't already go on over to the Miss Kate Blog and sign up for email notifications. That way you won't miss a project and it also gives you a reminder to grab the freebie of the day!

On to my layout...

For my layout I used the Winter Words file from Miss Kates for my title. I created two offset shadows in my Silhouette Cameo software. I added foam tape between my gray and white layer to add dimension.

The little tag in the bottom right corner is from the Tag Set. I use this file a lot - stop by the store and grab it if you don't have it. I used the pen tool on the Cameo to do my journaling.



Thanks for stopping by today. I'll be back tomorrow for the Miss Kate February Challenge.
Have a great day!

Easter Treats

Two blog posts in two days! Wishing everyone a Happy Easter. Seems like lately I've been speed crafting. I remember back when I went to art school I'd sometimes procrastinate and work all night to get a project done. Well now in my life I'm not procrastinating I'm just busy!

Here are my Easter Treats created in about an hour (Easter Morning):

I cut the One Piece Egg Basket from the Easter Treats SVG Kit from Fleurette Bloom.

My patterned paper from Echo Park was rather thin paper so I cut the Egg Basket from sold card stock and cut my patterned paper in an oval shape and applied to the sold card stock.

I added some ribbon and also cut the tag from the same kit. I just hand lettered the tags.

Here is a look at the entire kit - It’s fabulous for Easter and Spring Projects.

It’s a sunny day where I live - hope it’s nice where you are.

Irish Recipes

Hi Everyone - I'm up on the Miss Kate Cuttable Blog today.

 I have some Irish Recipes to share with you today. 

Perfect for St. Patrick's Day or if you live in an Irish home like me you can enjoy these year round!
I thought it would be fun to include these in with a Bridal Shower Gift for future generations.

For my project I have a set of three recipes:

I aded a grommet to the corner of each and added a ring. I finished it off with some ribbon.

Here are the files I used:

Doodle Frames

St. Patrick's Day Word Set

and

SVG Cuts 12 Days ~ Day 9

Well I just got a Cameo and tried the Print and Cut feature today. I have to say it is great! I have tried it and had success with the eclips but seems like the Cameo has a slight advantage.

Here are my Print and Cut Tags:

For the first two I used Echo Park’s Happy Holidays Digi Kit.

I even did the print and cut on the tags.

Finished the first one off with some Trendy Twine.

For my 3rd Print and Cut Tag I used the freebie owl from SVG Cuts - dated 2/4/12

I added some Trendy Twine.

I attached him to the SVG Cuts Pillow Box from Christmas Gift Bags and Boxes SVG Kit.

On the ninth day of Christmas, SVG Cuts is giving away four copies of Silhouette Studio Designer Edition! Head on over and enter.

SVG Cuts 12 Days ~ Day 8

I just love both the SVG Cuts  O Holy Night SVG Kit along with the O Holy Night Stamp Set from Punkin’ Patch Stamps. I made this cute tag/card for Day 8. It opens up like a card.

The tag base and scallop shape are from SVG Cuts Attic Treasures SVG Kit. 

I recently coordinated cards for my church and these stamps were perfect.

We created 60 cards for soldiers overseas and sent them the cards with lots of goodies packed into a box.

SVG Cuts is having a Jinger Adams Giveaway today. Her products look wonderful.

Have a great day! It is my last day in the office ~ looking forward to my loooooong Christmas break.

SVG Cuts 12 Days ~ Day 2

TGIF! I am playing along with SVG Cuts 12 Days of Christmas and making a tag every day. Today we are talking Trendy Twine. I recently purchased their Starter Pack and just love the baker’s twine. They have challenges over on their blog and I have been playing along. Lesley is so nice and her design team rocks!

Here is the current Challenge:

Create a Christmas tag.

Recipe:  snowman, glitter, and Trendy Twine.

(Must include all three)

I started by cutting the Doiley from SVG Cuts Doilies SVG Collection. I used a holographic cardstock paper and threaded the Trendy Twine true the holes.

Next I cut and assembled the snowman from Snowmen Village SVG Kit. I added some gemstones and Trendy Twine to accent.

Lastly I cut the SNOW shape from Winter Bliss SVG Collection. I used the Double-Sided Adhesive & Glitter I received with my Cameo. I am not usually a glitter gal but this was fun! I used a soft brush to remove the excess glitter from my piece. 

So head on over to the SVG Cuts 12 Days of Christmas and Enter to Win!

Look at what you get! 

See you tomorrow!

SVG Cuts 12 Days ~ Day 1

SVG Cuts is hosting an amazing 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway. The very talented Brigit from the DT had a great idea and we are going to try and do a tag for each of the 12 days. So today is the 1st day!

Today's super prize is is a Silhouette Cameo! 

Includes:

• Silhouette CAMEO® (MSRP: $299.99)
• Silhouette Studio Designer Edition (MSRP: $50.00)
• $25 SVGCuts.com Gift Card

I just recently ordered a Cameo to have as a backup cutter and I am going to take it to crops. My eclips is still my go-to cutter but will take the quieter Cameo so I do not disturb my fellow crafters. I cut my Jingle Java Tag/Giftcard Holder on the Cameo.

The elements are from the SVG Cuts Christmas Cheer SVG Kit . I slipped my Starbucks card right under the holder sleeve thingy. Can you tell I don't drink coffee? Don't know what those are called.

So hopefully I can keep up with Brigit and keep making the tags. See you tomorrow!

Tag You’re It!

I recently found a great FB Page that called Crafty Swaps and Challenges. Who doesn’t like a good swap and challenge? I decided to join in the Christmas Tag swap. Here is the tag I created. I made 6 total and sent to the host's address along with a self-addressed envelope. She will then gather them up and send them all out. Can't wait for that mail day!

I used the cute store front from SVG Cuts Christmas Cheer SVG Kit. The little poinsettas are stampables and I used the Punkin Patch Stamps Gingerbread Kisses. Just cut them on my Sizzix Eclips and then stamped away.

I finished these up at a crop I attended over the weekend. It is called Crop Around the Clock - 139 people all scrapping at the same time. It runs from Friday noon to Sunday at 6pm! I cropped Friday and Saturday and got alot of pages and projects completed.  Can’t wait to share with you.

Check out the awesome giveaway on SVG Cuts FB Page -

 they have lots of Epiphany Craft goodies to giveaway!

Have a great day!

Christmas Tags

I made a Matchbox with Tags as a gift for a crafty friend. The Creative Charms embellishments were the perfect touch and I used quite a few different ones on my tags.

Here is my box - it is a matchbox style. The poinsettia is embellished with Gradient Pearls. The box is from SVG Cuts Crisp Days of Fall Kit.

The box slides open and inside I have three tags perfect for Christmas gifts.

The first tag is my Santa Tag. I used Gradient Gems to accent the Santa image. Santa paper and background paper is from BoBunny.

The second tag is my Red & Green Tag. The Vintage Jewel Brads were a perfect fit for this tag. I did some embossing of the AC Cardstock.

Last but not least is my Snowman Tag. I used the Vintage Christmas Self-Adhesive Metal Frames for this one.
I cut the snowman along with all the other images on my Cricut using SCAL.
The snowman is actually a freebie from SVG Cuts.

These were so fun to put together - I think I may put together a bunch more as little gifts for crafty friends!
