Rocket Ship Birthday Box Card | Ink On 3 SVG Files

I'm sure you have all seen the latest card craze... box cards! They are everywhere!!!

Well, today I wanted to share with you a really quick card that I whipped up this past weekend. So happy that Fleurette Bloom released one in her latest Celebrations SVG Kit. It was perfect for a last-minute card I needed!

Isn't it super cute!!!

The Rocket Ship and the Sentiment were done with the Print n Cut feature on the Silhouette Cameo.

Love how these box cards just fold right flat to squeeze into an envelope!

For any of you interested in creating this card, here are the files I used:

Card - Celebrations SVG Kit
Spaceship - Outer Limits - Space 3D SVG Kit

3D Paper Root Beer Float Treat Box | Ink On 3 Files

Hey guys!

Feels like forever since I've shared something! I've been feeling a bit under the weather this past week :( Hoping these sniffles will go away soon!

Today I have a really cute project to share with you all. It comes from Fleurette Bloom's latest Lucky Day SVG Kit. I've made the mug look like a Root Beer Float... 

This is SO yummy looking! It's making me want a real one now, at least the paper one is low cal hehe!

This Mug is such a great file! Fill it with treats for a birthday party or give it to your favorite guy as a cool Beer Mug gift box! With St. Patrick's Day coming up it would also look great as Green Beer Glass! 

I hope you liked my like Root Beer Float!

I sure did... well better go wipe off my mustache *lips smack*, LOL!

3D Paper Floral Centerpiece | Ink On 3 Files

Today I want to share with you my latest Fleurette Bloom Design Team Project "3D Paper Floral Centerpiece."  Aren't those flowers GORGEOUS?! Hard to believe that they are made out of paper!

Have you ever thought of paper floral arrangements as centerpieces for your next event? Why not!?! Yes, they are a little more work but so worth it! They are less expensive to make than buying real flowers, they will last you forever, and are just as beautiful! Plus, your guests will be amazed that you made them too :)

To make this beautiful 3D Paper Floral Centerpiece you will need SVG files from Fleurette Bloom's Valentine Be Mine 3D SVG Kit and Lush Flowers 3D SVG Collection. 

Other supplies I used to create this include:

Card stock

Inks

Hot glue and a glue gun

Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive

Decorative Burlap Ribbon

Toothpicks

2" Styrofoam ball 

Decorative green moss

Cut on the Silhouette Cameo with SSDE

The coolest part is that the Flower Pot (modified coffee mug) opens up to reveal a little surprise! 

 This arrangement would also make a great gift for someone. Think Valentine's Day, Mothers's Day, and upcoming Friend's Birthday... the possibilities go on and on! Also, the treats you fill the base with will act as a weight, keeping it from tipping over! If you chose to make it for yourself just fill the base with stones, beans, whatever you have handy will work ;)

I absolutely LOVE how this 3D Paper Floral Centerpiece turned out!!! I hope you love it too! If you do make this project make sure you share it on Fleurette Blooms Facebook Page :)

Hi Everyone!

Today I have the cutest Snowman gift box to share with you. The files all come from Fleurette Bloom Designs.

Isn't he SOOOO cute? "HELLO" he says :)

To recreate this, here are the files you will need:

boxes - Nesting Gift Box SVG Collection

arms and printed face - Snowman SVG Cutting File and Printable

printed scarf  - Let It Snow Coordinating Paper Collection

 poinsettia - Holly Days Boxes and Cards Kit / Collection

This project was all cut and created on the Silhouette Cameo using SSDE.

Is that not the most adorable face? Those cheeks look so pinch-able!

This box is perfect for holding a lot of great little surprises. Also, would make a great box for a Winter Birthday or just to cheer someone up... that face would make anyone smile and melt their heart!

DIY Christmas Labels on the Silhouette with Fleurette Bloom Designs | Ink On 3 Files

My favorite projects are quick and useful! Today I want to walk you through how to make your own Christmas labels using Fleurette Bloom files. Once you know-how, you'll be making labels for everything :) 

For this project I used:

PNG images from "Holly Days" Boxes and Cards Kit / Collection & 

"Vintage Holly Branch" SVG Cutting file and Printable

SVG files (labels) from "Anytime Pillow Box" SVG Cutting File Collection

Avery Sticker Project Paper (Silhouette Brand Printable Sticker paper is also available, but did not have any on hand)

Silhouette Cameo with SSDE

Instructions:

1. The first thing you will need to do is select the PNG images and the SVG files you want to use.
2. Open them up onto your workspace.
3. With the SVG's you have selected to use as labels, click on each SVG and change the cut style to "cut". 
4. Group one PNG design with one SVG file. (Play with the PNG sizes until you like the look and placement on each label). 
5. I chose to include "to: and a from:" If you do that ensure you change the cut style setting on the font to "no cut". Copy and paste it into each label and group them.
6. I don't like to waste paper, so once my labels were created I tried to fit as many as possible on to one sheet. You will notice I changed some of them in size to fit more! Variety in sizes is good to have because all gifts come in different sizes too ;)

Since I had set my line color to transparent, it was hard to visually see the labels when working on the white workspace. To solve for this I just worked on the side of my workspace (see image below) You could also in the Page setting, set it to reveal your cutting mat.

• Slide the labels back onto your workspace. Turn on the cut line setting and align your shapes within your registration marks. Make sure that the only cut lines you see are only on the edges of the labels. 

• Now you are ready to send it to the printer.
• Before cutting out your shapes, change the pressure setting on your cutting machine, I set my pressure setting to 2. This is just enough to cut through the top layer leaving the backing intact. 

That's it! Easy right!?

Here is a little treat box I made with one of the labels I cut out! Since you already know who the gift is from you could also have the names already printed on there too :)

I hope you find this tutorial useful! This was so easy and quick to do on the Silhouette, that I have so many ideas for other labels I want to make now! If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them for you :)

Batty For You Card Halloween Card | Ink On 3

Today I want to share with you my latest Fleurette Bloom card. "Batty for You". 

Isn't he so CUTE?!? 

I thought it would be cool to put the sentiment under his wings.... that way the little "vampire" could draw you in for the bite!

To close the wings, as you can see I just used a little pop dot. 

Here are the files you will need to make this card:

Papers - "Howlin Halloween" Coordinating Paper Collection

Card base - Halloween Card Kit / Collection SVG Cutting File's and Printable's

Bat - "Halloween Night" SVG cutting file's and Printable's Collection

 Cut on the Silhouette Cameo

If you want to make the Bat like I did you will need to weld to the bat's body two wings and create score lines (as pictured above). I also created the white body layer by creating an internal offset and then used the print n cut feature of the Silhouette for the Sentiment.

Here's a peek at the inside of the card, used more digital papers... love those spooky little eyes!

So how "Batty" over this card are you? I love how it all came together... hope you did too!

Fallen Leaves Card

Yay... The fall is here! My favorite season, the leaves outside are starting to turn colors! Here in my part of Canada, we get a very early and quick season... who knows we could get snow next week, lol! :( I sure hope NOT! Well while it's here I plan to enjoy it!

This month Fleurette Bloom and Trendy Twine have teamed up! So, today I want to share with you another one of my design team projects :)

Here is a really fun Fallen Leaves Card I made. Isn't she purty? 

Here is the recipe:

Electronic Cutting Machine (I used the Silhouette Cameo with the SSDE)

Fleurette Blooms's Fall Leaves Coordinating Paper

Fleurette Bloom's Basic Leaves SVG files

Fleurette Bloom's Leaf Branch SVG file

Trendy Twine's Totally Kraft

I created the shaped card by laying out my leaves in the Silhouette's workspace and then created an offset of the grouped image I had laid out. Then I welded a square to the bottom of the offset image to create the base of the card. The next thing you need to do is create a copy of that image and flip horizontally. Line it up at the center, slightly overlapping the image, and then weld them together (make sure the bottom is lined up first). This will become your crease line. Flood your image with the Digi paper of your choice, then use the print and cut feature of your machine. I also created the sentiment tag, using print and cut on the Silhouette. 

I hope you were able to follow along. Feel free to ask questions if you didn't ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by! Make sure you stop by Fleurette Bloom's blog to see some more fun creations from the design team!

Skull Card

Have you started thinking about Halloween yet? After making this project, I'm getting the itch to pull out all my Halloween stuff already!

This month Fleurette Bloom has paired up with Trendy Twine! So today I want to share with you this Skull card I made using awesomeness from both these companies :)

The Skull file comes from Fleurette Bloom's "Skull Girl"

The twine I used is called orangesicle from Trendy Twine. Love their twine!

The card was super easy and quick to put together! I cut the word "BOO" out from the top black layer, wrapped some twine around the same black layer to create the spider's web. For fun, and I created some crazy eyeballs by gluing some twine around a couple of buttons. Easy card... right?

Stay tuned this month for more fun from Fleurette Bloom and Trendy Twine!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Lily Pad Shape Card | Ink On 3

HELLO!!! I am so excited to share with you my first Fleurette Bloom Design Team project today!

Here is a very quick card I made using some elements from Fleurette Bloom's latest Swan Lake Element Collection. The coolest part was making the coordinating envelope with the Swan Lake Digital Paper Collection. Love how turned out, so elegant... if a card can be that, lol!

I have owned my Silhouette Cameo for over a year now but had not really been using the machine to it's fullest potential! For some reason, I was always intimidated to use the fill pattern option of the program... well not anymore! All it took was one time and I am hooked! I will be using a lot more digital papers now!!! SO easy, can't believe it took me this long! Just look at how pretty the envelope is! I think it adds so much and, makes the card just that much more special! Don't forget to stop by Fluerette Bloom's Shop and check out all of her beautiful digital coordinating papers!  

Here it is again from a different angle. Isn't it SO pretty? It looks so much like the real thing! 

Take a look inside. I added a white inset layer... this adds a little extra strength and stability to the card... also makes it easier to see what is written when a darker color is used.

Here is a screenshot of how I turned the lily pad element into a shape card. If you are a visual person (like me) you'll appreciate this! It's true... a picture IS worth a thousand words!

To make this simple, I placed all my steps in one screenshot. I'll start of with the top left image of the lily pad and work clockwise.

1. Import your lily pad base, this will then become the bottom part of the front of your card.
2. To create the back of my card, first I copied and pasted the lily pad. Next, I drew a straight line down the side of the card and then changed the style of the line to a dash. Group them together. 
3. Copy and paste image 2. Take your knife tool and cut the piece off just after the dash line you just created. Delete the piece with the dash line. 
4. To create the piece that lines the inside of the card, click on the image you created in step 3, and select the internal offset option. I set my offset at 0.1 inches.

And that is how easy it is to create a shape card! Now all that is left to do is cut out all your pieces and assemble. 

Dimensions:

• Envelope - 9.910" H x 6.380" W
• Lily Pad - 4.425" H x 4.620" W 
• Lily Pad top layer - 4.355" H x 4.555" W
• Large Flower layer - 4.080" H x 4.270" W (highlight all flower layers when adjusting the measurements to keep them all proportional)
• Sentiment Base - 0.940" H x 2.895" W

NOTE:

• You could stop after step 2,  if you don't want to create the liner for the inside of your card. If you do, simply just cut the pieces out and place glue to the left of the dash line. Line up with the front piece of the card and press together! 
• Don't forget you can also use the print and cut option to create the lily pad and flower if you decided not to make it 3 dimensional! 

I hope you liked my Lily Pad shape card, and have learned how to make your own... at least the way I do. I'm sure there are so many other ways! Make sure you stop by Fleurette's Blog or Facebook page today because she has got some exciting news to share with her fans!
