Put Your Toes In The Sand

Hi Crafty Friends!!

Today I have a summer themed card to show you that features a super cute little boy with his toes in the sand from KaDoodle Bug Designs.

I used the Summer Beach Fun set to cut out that cute little boy in the sand, the beach ball, the pail and the sun & clouds. For the sand, I added a little bit of Cinnamon Stickles and then just spread it out with a cheap paintbrush. I love the little extra bit of sparkle that gave. I love the shimmer sand has when the sun hits it just right. 

I will be entering this card into the challenge at:

Happy Fall Box

Happy Tuesday crafty friends!

Today I have a fun little box to show you that I think would be a super cute fall themed gift.

I filled my box with some cashews.

I got my box from the silhouette store. The box originally has a window but I altered the file just a bit so that it didn't cut out. Isn't that little squirrel adorable?? She is from KaDoodle Bug Designs and is in a set called, Nuts About Fall. There are 3 different squirrels in this set, plus sunflowers, acorns, leaves and a title. KaDoodle Bug is having a  great sale right now too so it's a great time to stock up on any files you may be needing from them. I have no idea when the sale ends though so you may want to hurry :) 

I will be entering my project into a couple of different challenges.

Here is the card that I created for the challenge:

As soon as I saw this cute little Sailor Bear in the Silhouette store, I knew I had to have him so that I could put him onto a card. After I had him printed and cut out, I added a few little freckles to his cheeks and some doodling to his life preserver and his foot using a white gel pen. I also added a little bit of shimmer to the preserver using my Wink Of Stella Brush pen. For my blue circle, I used a die from My Creative Time. The fun border under my patterned paper, my sentiment and the banner are also from My Creative Time. I finished off my card by adding some red grosgrain ribbon and another little bow made using some white DMC floss. I love the print and cut feature! It makes projects so much easier, especially for me since coloring is not my strong suit lol!

(3) Silhouette Replacement Blades

For my card, I decided to make an anniversary card for my hubby!
We will be celebrating 23 years of marriage in just a couple of weeks!

I used one of the labels from the Assorted Artisan Labels (design ID 36089). Once I had the label I wanted loaded onto my mat, I used the offset feature so that I could create the same shape, just a little bigger. Then I duplicated that so that I could weld the two together to create my card base. Once that was done, the first label that I put onto my mat, layered perfectly onto the base that I created. The "Forever & Always" was one of the free images that came with my very first silhouette machine, the Portrait. I used the offset feature for that as well, that made it much easier for me to be able to pop it up with some foam adhesive. I added some white hearts that I die cut out using my Stitched Heart Layering dies from My Creative Time. I added a few pearls and a bow at the top and voila! I really love how this turned out and the card is also in our wedding colors!

I decided to make a little birthday gift bag.

For my gift bag, I used the 3D large bag with handles from the Silhouette Online Store and used the  Birthday Bear from Miss Kate's Cuttables to decorate the front. I decided to make my bear a little girl bu simply adding a little bow to her hair. I added a bit of rumple ribbon to the handle along with a birthday tag. Super quick and easy but still looks so cute!!
