Here is my project for today!

For my card today I used the fun Christmas Snowman Tophat Cupcake.  I added stickles to his nose and hat and put him on foam tape also the cupcake base is on foam tape.  The snowflakes were punched out of glitter paper from two different punches.  The stamp is from a retired set.

Snowman Peeker Card

Hey everyone I hope you are having a great day!  It is so sunny and nice here...no snow!  What we had melted so the ski resorts are in bad shape.

This super fun new Snowman Peeker card will be in the SVG Cutting Files store this Friday so make sure to pick it up, it is so cute and easy to make.  You can get it here.

As you can tell I had fun making it (4 so far).  I wanted to try different colors and I can't decide which one I like best.  The snowman was cut out of glitter paper which made him really sparkly and cute but ruined my blade and mat.

School Pal Giraffe Cards

This cute little giraffe is from the new School Pal Giraffe cut file that will be in the store on Friday.  I just love this little guy he is so cute and super easy to put together.  I made a shaped card base with the base paper (orange) and sentiment being a print and cut and then  paper pieced the giraffe.  Make sure to pick this guy up on Friday here.

Kitty card - hang tag and lollipop set

If you are a cat lover or know someone who is this is a must have set for you!  It is such a fun set and anyone getting this will love it.  Plus it is so quick and easy to make (my favorite!).  It is called the Kitty card - hang tag and lollipop set, this will be in the SVG Cutting Files store on Friday so make sure to pick it up.  You can get it here.

Owl Artist

 This super cute owl is a new cut file called Artist Owl that will be in the SVG Cutting Files store on Friday.  Make sure to get one you will love it!  You can get it here.

Chibi Inner Tube Boy

This is a fun new cut file from SVG Cutting Files that will be in the store on Friday it is called Chibi Boy Inner Tube  and you can get him here.

 I love this little Chibi boy...hence 3 cards with him on them!  He goes together super fast and easy.  I printed out the paper and the sentiments for all these cards and then put the little boy on foam tape.  The face stamp is from PK. 

Flower and Bunny Peeker - Shaker Tags

I seriously LOVE these new tags that will be in the SVG Cutting Files store on Friday.   You can get them here.   They are so fun and easy to make and you can use them for so many things.   The yellow one I made into a shaker tag and filled with glitter and sequins.  I made about 6 layers to make it thick enough.  The pink one I just made it a peeker tag so when you lift up the front the sentiment is inside.  The bunny one was made just the like the pink flower.  You just lift up the front and the sentiment is inside.

These sentiments are from the Forest Friends stamp set from Jaded Blossom.  Y

Spring Flower Suspension Card

These super cute and fun new Spring Flower Suspension Card cut files will be in the store on Friday, just in time for some Mother's Day cards!!  You can get them here.  They are so simple and easy to make.  The flowers are hanging in the circle cutouts (I used fishing line for mine but you could use thread or anything like that).  

Happy Easter

 This sweet little girl is called Sitting Girl Bunny 1 and will be in the SVG Cutting Files store on Friday, you can get her here.  She is so cute and perfect for all of your Easter or spring cards and gifts.

The fun card base idea is from Mary at Cardztv.  The sentiment is stamped on a tag cut from the Mini Tag Dies 2 set from Jaded Blossom.

Chibi Giraffe Treat

This cute little  Chibi Giraffe Shamrock Balloons will be in the store on friday, you can get it here.  I just love his sweet little face and thought the sentiment fit him perfectly.  He would be fun for a birthday card also I think.  The stamps are from the Chocoholic stamp set from Jaded Blossom and the bag topper was made with the Fancy Topper Die also from Jaded Blossom.

Love Bug Bee Card

This sweet little love bug bee image will be in the SVG Cutting Files store on Friday so make sure to pick her up.  You can get her here.   She just makes me smile!  I cut her at 2.5" high and I put her on a action wobble so she really moves.  The card base was inspired by Mary from Cardztv and her card kits.

Bendy Arch Card

 This fun card was made with the new Bendy Arch Card Base from SVG Cutting Files, you can get it here.  It comes plain so you can put whatever you want on it.  It will fold flat to go into an envelope.  For mine I added the cute Birthday Owl and the balloons and celebrate came from the Party Time Celebrate file both from SVG Cutting Files.

Panda Present

This little tag was made with the new Panda Present cut file that will be in the  SVG Cutting Files store on Friday, so make sure to check it out here.  To make the tag I used the Luggage Tag Dies from Jaded Blossom.  For the sentiment I used the stamp set Merry & Bright and the Mini Tag Dies 2 both also from Jaded Blossom.  For the fur on his hat I cut a pom pom apart and glued it down.

Here is what I made today!

I made the Chinese Take Out Box you can get it here.  I put the Chinese words on the box it says Good Fortune.  These words are free for the hop, yippie!!  For the box with the black and white ribbon I cut the words out of the box and backed it with black paper.  For the one with the red ribbon I cut the words out of black vinyl and stuck it on.  You can click on the photos to make them bigger to see the difference.  The tag is from the Mini Tags Dies 2 and stamped with the new Chinese New Year sentiment and then stamped with the Chinese love word from the Warrior Princess stamp set all from Jaded Blossom.  I stamped it with light grey and stamped it off once to make it light but still show up.

These new little envelopes are the new Rooster Coin Pocket, since it is the year of the Rooster.  I did put the good fortune with vinyl on some of them also.  I stamped them both with the Chinese New Year stamp set.  These are the perfect size for the chocolate coins. 

I put a coin in each pocket and then closed it up with washi tape.

Snowman Ear Muff Peeker Gift Card Holder

So are you starting to think about all of your Christmas shopping yet?  I am, in fact I am almost done!!  That is because I did big family gifts this year instead of each individual...with 18 grandkids I had to.  Last year just about did me in!

Anyway these fun little snowman ear muff peeker gift card holders are so cute and simple to make.  Just what you need this time of year.  They will be in the  SVG Cutting Files store on Friday, so make sure to pick them up!

Candy Corn Box

I really love these fun candy corn boxes from SVG Cutting Files, you can get them here.  They are super quick and easy to make and so cute!! 

Frankly You're Sweet Card

I made this card for my grandson Jackson, today is his birthday and he is now 8.  I decided to make it a cross between a halloween card and a birthday card.  This fun cut file is from SVG Cutting Files sadly it is no longer available, it is from a past hop.  Not the best photo but the only one I could find.  He hates having his picture taken.

Stanleys Halloween

This cute little cat witch is from the Stanleys Halloween collection.  It is brand new and will be in the store on Friday so make sure to go pick it up!!  You can get it here.  I cut a circle out and ran fishing line between the back pieces of the witch and then anchored them on the sides of the circle so it looks like she is flying.  On the inside I added a spooky tree and bat and crow all cut from the Graveyard Scene, get it here.

Happy Birthday You Rebel Scum

This last week was my little grandson James birthday, he turned 4.  He is small for 4 while his brothers are big, but he makes up for it in personality!  He wanted a storm trooper costume for his birthday so I went with that theme.

This is the card I made for him it is a file from SVG Cutting Files from one of the hops, unfortunately it is no longer available.  The stamps are from Jaded Blossom.
