Laughing Shamrock Card

Hi Crafters!!  I am so excited to be the guest designer over at Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons today.  I made this Laughing Shamrock Card using the Shamrock Cutting files from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons.  I used my wonderful Cameo Silhouette to cut out the laughing face.

 I used Pebbles Shimmering chalks to shimmer the whole shamrock and the cheeks.  Also used a sparkle gold gel pent to add some doodles on the edges.  I added some black eyelashes to her eyes.
I found some gold shimmer ribbon in my shash for the bow.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.
 I am happy with this card and LOVE the shimmering chalk!!

Bee Mine Tag

Hi Crafters!!  I know that Valentine's Day is over, but I just purchased this CUTE little bee cut file from Paper Crafting World  and I wanted to give it a try.  And I found a challenge blog that I wanted to do and it was for a love tag so this was perfect!!  The blog is Cameo Creations for the challenge.   I attached the cute bee tag to a tube of gumballs.  This would have been perfect for a Valentine's Day treat.   I cut this on my Silhouette Cameo.  When I imported the cut file into Silhouette Designer Studio I made an offset of the whole design BEFORE pulling away the different layers.  This made the base of the tag.

 Here is a side view!
 Here is the front of the tag.
 Here is the back of the tag.  I stamped hearts in pink ink and hand wrote TO: and FROM:
 Here is a closer view of the tag.  I used Studio G pink glitter glue to make the dots around the scallop heart.

Cameo Creations Challenge - Love Tag

Elephant Valentine Box

Hi Crafters!!  HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!  I made a cut elephant Valentine box for one of my girls.  The box file was purchased from the Silhouette store and the elephant paper piecing file is from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  I filled the box with Reeses cups.

 This box was so easy to put together.  The Silhouette store boxes are the best and easiest to put together.  The sentiment is from My Creative Time Teeny Tag Greetings and was stamped with Stampin Up Melon Mambo ink.  Pattern paper is from Studio G.
 Isn't this elephant adorable?  So easy to put together.

Money Holder using Silhouette Cameo

Hi Crafters!  I wanted to share this cute little money holder I made for my daughters birthday.  She LOVES peace signs.  This project was so simple to put together.  I purchased this money holder file from the Silhouette store and cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo (which I LOVE LOVE LOVE)!!



I also used a label cut from the Silhouette store and just adjusted it to fit the front of the box.  I did an offset for the shadow and choose the print and cut feature for the sentiment and stitched lines.  (LOVE this feature). 

 Here is a view of the top with the tab.
 This is the back of the box.
I didn't have a peace sign cut file so I googled clip art peace signs and used the trace feature in Silhouette Studio (LOVE this feature as well).  Then I cut peace signs out of white cardstock and colored them with my Stampin Up markers to match the colors of the patterned paper. 

 
The peace sign patterned paper is from DCWV All Dolled Up paper stack!  I LOVE how this turned out!!  I truely LOVE LOVE LOVE my Silhouette Cameo!!!

Bunny Valentine Gift/Treat Bag

Hi Crafters!  I made another gift/treat bag today that I want to share with you.  I LOVE using treat bags during the holidays for giving candy and treats.



I used my Silhouette Cameo and cut the adorable bunny from Scrapping Bug Designs "will you be mine" files.  I didn't put eyelashes on the bunny at first.  I was too scared!!  I used to do eyelashes on bears a long time ago.  I need practice.  In the last photo the bunny has eyelashes.  I went a bit overboard with eyelashes (ok a lot overboard).  I promise to practice and get better.  Isn't it funny how you can spend so much time putting together these paper pieces to only screw it up at the very end!!  That is why I took pictures before doing the eyelashes.



I cut the heart border using a free file from Birds Cards Designs.  I LOVE this website for free cutting files.   The sentiment if from My Creative Time 100% Sweetness stamp set.

Be Mine Treat Bag

Hi Everyone!  I have another Valentine treat bag for you.   This bag is a cutting file from the Silhouette store.  Click Here to purchase the file.  I wanted another simple project so I cut the file out of white cardstock.  I cut the inner shadow piece from red cardstock.  I LOVE how this turned out!!

This bag has an attached tag.  I used My Creative Time Teeny Tag Greeting for the tag, but you could easily find a tag from the Silhouette store.  The bag, heart border, and the hearts on the bottom of the bag were all cut using my cameo.

I cut the hearts from plain red cardstock and used a Stampin Up dotted background stamp with VersaMark ink pad to get the dots.  This is my favorite technique to achieve the look of patterned paper.  The ribbon was purchased from Michael's years ago.
This bag is WITHOUT the tag..  Just wanted to show you how it looks without the sentiment tag.
I am entering this treat bag into the Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge!!

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!!

Valentine's Day Gift Bag using Silhouette Cameo

Hi Everyone!  This gift bag is sooo super easy and I used my new Silhouette Cameo for this project.  I am loving the cameo!!

For this project, I used a red gift bag, white cardstock, a glue pen, and my CAMEO!!  Besides my computer and printer that is all the supplies I used.  Now how easy it that??  You can choose not to use the printer and use a stamp or your own hand writing for the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment!!  I chose to use the Silhouette Cameo print and cut feature for the sentiment.



This machine is amazing!  Look at the crisp clean cuts it makes!!




One of my FAVORITE websites is Birds Cards for free cutting files and digi stamps.  I used the heart doily and the heart border file which you can download FREE from HERE .  This is a FABULOUS website!!

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!!
