Grizzly Bear Plaque

Mom and Dad of Josiah are fans of the outdoors. The bear is from some clip art that I converted to an SVG file and added layers...and mounting tape to give him dimension. I was pleased how he turned out.

Birthday Ensemble

 If one ever wants to add that little something to a card, prisma glitter is a great subtle effect that packs a gentle blingie punch.  I'm not sure you can see it on the photo, but the cake slice (from PC Hugware) is outlined with a 2 Way Glue pen and then sprinkled with glitter.  I keep the glitter in a resealable container so I can dump it directly back in the container.

The inside of this card has a fun pop up cake.  I've made a tutorial in this post showing how to assemble the cake.

 

  

This cute little cake is made from a flameless tealight. I thought it was a fun addition to the go with the card.

Pay It Forward Project 3: Valentine Mailbox

My third Pay It Forward is for a friend who teaches Kindergarten.  I thought she might need a mailbox for Valentines.  I found a pink mailbox at Target in their dollar section and had fun altering it.  

Flowers were cut using Make the Cut. The heart on the flag is from the Doodlecharms cartridge. I textured the heart and the flower center with Swiss Dots in the Cuttlebug. For a bonus I printed off some quick Valentines using various clip art images from PC Hugware.

Stay tuned for project number 4...

Pay It Forward Project 2: Gracious Words Tile

My second Pay It Forward project was for a friend at church.  This verse from Proverbs seemed to be what I needed to make into a project for her.  She really takes this verse to heart.  

I cut the vinyl, using Make the Cut and adhered it to a 13 inch tile.  The font is LD Elegant and the bee is from PC Hugware "Honeyville".

My Christmas Gift

For Christmas, my Honey bought me the Classic Oval Nestabilities (all four...2 regular and 2 scallop sets.)  Here's my first project playing with them.  I used a Stampin' Up! embossing folder on the back of the card and some PCHugware (From the Feathered Nest by Kaelynn Winn) for the "Thanks".
