Pocket Watch Treat Box

Hey Everyone!

Lately my life has been a bit crazy busy, with the kids at home and summer activities there never seems to be enough time. I think you will agree today's project is perfect for what is going on in my life right now and probably in many of yours too! So, without further adieu, check out this cool little pocket watch treat box... my latest Fleurette Bloom Design Team Project. 

Here is the list of files I used to create this cutie!

Box - Hooked on Fishing SVG Kit
Rosette - Lush Flowers SVG Collection
Pocket Watch SVG File

I used the reel box to create the base of the box. The pocket watch elements were then resized to match up with the base of the reel box. For fun I used a clear acetate circle to create the face on the watch. I then I also used some Tim Holtz Game spinners to create the hands. Finished it off by attaching a metal chain to the pocket watch handle and embellishing it with a couple rosettes.

This stamp couldn't be more perfect for this project. 

It comes from Craftin Desert Diva's - Blooming for you

The paper I used comes from Fancy Pants Designs - The Good Life 

 I think this would make a really great birthday gift for someone. It would also make a a really cool guys gift or maybe even a retirement treat. So many possibilities for this, you just need a little imagination and think about who you are making it for :)

Hope you enjoyed my Pocket Watch Treat Box, now go take time to smell the flowers!

Mother's Day Cards | SVGCuts

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers reading this post!

Today I wanted to share with you all the fun cards I made for the moms in my life. Since I was making some for myself, I thought I would make a few more for my children's school Auction that took place this weekend. The cards are all same with a few different embellishments. Love how they turned out and hope you do too!

These first cards are perfect for the mom that sews. 

I stamped the inside of the cards with a stamp from Craftin Desert Divas -Happy Celebrations stamp set.

The papers I used comes from Carta Bella's Sew Lovely Paper Collection. Love this paper!!!

Here is the same card with a different Carta Bella Collection. The papers for this one comes from Homemade with Love.

This paper is perfect for the Baking Mom in your life!

The files for this card all come from SVG Cuts Cards for Mom Kit.

I used pieces from 3 different cards in the kit to come up with this design. Sweet and simple.... especially when making multiples!

Hope you liked my Mother's Day Cards! I think this design could also be used as a Valentine's Day card or even an Anniversary card.

"Heart" Air Balloon Treat Box

Have you seen Fleurette Bloom's latest Love it in the Air SVG Kit? Well if you haven't you definitely should! Not only is it perfect for Valentines Day, but I could see this used for so many other occasions!

I made this "Heart" Air Balloon as a Valentines teacher's gift.

I think it will look so cool hanging somewhere in the classroom. Hopefully it won't cause too much distraction for the day dreamers, LOL!

I happened to have the perfect stamp for this project.
This one comes from Craftin Desert Divas -School Zone stamp set.

Hope you all have a great Valentines Day this year and don't forget about the teachers in your life!

Gumball Machine Shaped Birthday Card | SVGCuts

 Hey Everyone!

Today I have a  couple of cute cards I made for some upcoming birthdays. I thought it would be fun to use this file from An Afternoon at Auntie Elaine's SVG Collection (gumball machine file) and turn it into a shaker card. I had never done a shaker card before and thought it would be cool!

How cute did this card turn out?! I absolutely love it!
Can't wait to make some more shaker cards!!!
SO fun and interactive, I'm sure the kids will love it!

The file for this card comes from SVGCuts An Afternoon at Auntie Elaine's SVG Collection.

To create the shaker portion of the card, I used a foam layer that I cut using the Silhouette Cameo. TIP: To cut foam I just set my speed to the lowest setting and my blade to the deepest setting and used a double cut. Worked really well but didn't cut all the way through. So I slowly pulled away from the foam shape around the cut lines and it tore really easily! Next time I think I will try doing another double cut without moving or unloading the mat.

For this card, before gluing together the back layer of the gumball machine I stamped it with a cute stamp from Craftin Desert Divas - Happy Celebrations

For this next card, I used buttons.
I always have way too many laying around, this was the perfect way to use some!

This stamp comes form Craftin Desert Divas - Simply Said

This time I stamped the card on the inside of the card and created a window by using two acetate sheet layers and sandwiching the foam in between them.

Hope you've enjoyed these super "sweet" gumball-shaped shaker cards!

Strawberry Basket Box Card | SVG Cuts Files

This weekend is birthday HEAVY over at our house! We have 4 birthdays, either to attend or acknowledge! So I had a blast creating some cards! 

Here is the Strawberry Basket box card from SVGCuts latest Box Card SVG Kit. Another definite must-have to add to your SVGCuts Collection! I absolutely love these cards!!! They have the 3D feel but the ease of 2D assembly!

The paper I used comes from GCD Studios, Oh Happy Day Paper Pad.

The stamp comes from Craftin Desert Divas, Summer Lovin' stamp collection.

I thought it was the perfect sentiment for this card, as here in Edmonton we just got rid of the white stuff!

And of course, I used my trusty ol' Silhouette Cameo to cut everything out!

Thanks for stopping by, hope you like my little Strawberry Basket Box Card! These little guys are so addictive... I'm sure I'll be making some more ;)

Happy Crafting Everyone :)
