Love Shadow Box | SVGCuts

Hi guys!

 I have a Fall project to share with you today! I know it's not even Spring here yet (although it feels like it), but somewhere around the world, it is Autumn... my favorite time of year! 

Today I want to share with you my latest shadow box creation. I was commissioned to make this for a friend and fan of mine. She loved the original Autumn Love Shadowbox I made and wanted me to make her something similar. I really love how it turned out! Enjoy it Tomina!!! :)

For those interested in the files I used, here are the SVG Cuts kits required to make this:

Fall Harvest SVG Kit

Crisp Days of Fall SVG Kit

3D Mums and Fall Flowers Kit

Pick a Pumpkin SVG Kit

Mother's Garden SVG Kit

B is for Birthday SVG Kit

Hope you "love" this Shadow Box as much as I do! I think this would make the perfect gift for a birthday, wedding, or anniversary! Next time you are looking for inspiration for a unique gift idea, I hope you remember this beautiful love shadow box.

First Communion Cards | SVGCuts

This past weekend our God Daughter Aleina along with a few other little friends of ours, celebrated their First Holy Communion. Big deal for these young men and women! So of course I had to whip up some Communion cards. 

I think these cards could be used for various other religious events!

The file for the cross, chalice, and dove come from SVGCuts Christian Elements SVG Collection. The base of the card and the layers were created using basic shapes in the Silhouette DE program. 

Here are a few more close-up pictures of each card! Very happy with how they turned out :)

Had to make a few Shakers!

If you were searching for ideas to make your own Communion or other religious event cards, I hope these ones have inspired you ;)

Hello Everyone!

With Father's Day around the corner, I wanted to share with you my latest SVG Cuts DT project...
A Beary Happy Father's Day Box Card! The perfect card for the Outdoorsy Dad!

For exact measurements and directions on how I made this box card click HERE!

Below is a list of all the SVG Cuts kits I used to create this card.

 Box Cards SVG Kit
Camp Firefly SVG Kit
Camp Smore SVG Kit
Forest County SVG Collection

The sentiment was created using the Print n Cut on the Silhouette Cameo.

Here is a side view of the card.

I really love how these Box Cards create a scene.

And on the backside of the card, a little note for Dad. This card can't get any cooler!

Jon and Vanessa's Wedding Box Card | SVGCuts

This weekend we have a wedding to go to, so for the new couple, I just had to make a personalized Wedding Card. Happy to say I am very pleased with how it turned out, hope they will be too!

For those interested, here are the SVG Cut's Kits I used to make the card:

Card Base and label - Box Cards SVG Kit

Bouquet - Five-Minute Cards SVG Kit

Rings and Cake - Love Always SVG Kit 

NOTE: (Plain band was created (altered) by removing the diamond from the diamond ring. To do that use the node/point function and delete the nodes/points you do not want)

The sentiment was created on the Silhouette Cameo using the Print n Cut Function.

Hope you like my take on another Wedding Card using SVGCuts files, maybe even inspired to create a similar box card for an upcoming wedding you may be attending!

First Communion Day + DIY Decor | SVGCuts

Hello Everyone!

This past weekend, my daughter Maia celebrated her First Holy Communion Day. A big deal in the Catholic Religion! 

As you all may already know I'm a huge DIY'er, if that is such a thing, lol! So as you can imagine I did do it ALL... a bit stressful as I had a bit of a sinus infection last week, but thank goodness I had a lot of the preparations done ahead of time :) 

For those that want to attempt DIY'ing things for an event like this, I would highly recommend you buy yourself an electronic cutting machine. My go-to machine is the Silhouette Cameo, but there are many others out there! My poor Cameo was very useful over the last few months in preparation for the big day.

WARNING: this post is picture HEAVY! But hey, who doesn't like pictures!

Let's start with the cake table :) 

As you can see other than the cake, treats, and roses, most of my table decor was made out of paper! All the files that I used come from SVGCuts, love that their files are so versatile! For those of you interested in the exact files I used, they will be listed throughout and at the end of this post :)

Here is my sweet and simple, yet elegant banner!

Here is a closer look at the details.

How do you like my ceiling decor? Tule, a few balloons, and a tissue ball... Oh, and a few flowers I stuck randomly on the tissue ball. That's it, SO easy!!! I just used push pins to hold the ends of the tule up on the ceiling (when the ceiling is textured you can barely see any holes). I had this up on Monday night and the party was on Sunday, almost a whole week... even the balloons! Keep reading and I'll even tell you my secret on how to keep them from deflating!

How cool is this Chalice? For those of you that are SVG Cuts Fans, you may recognize the top as the teacup from Tea For You and Me SVG Kit and the bottom is the lamp base from Maison de Madeline SVG Kit! Clever, I know 😏

and what about this beautiful cross! 

(K, just ignore the little pearl that fell off... didn't catch that when I took the photo, dang it!) Anyways, back to the Cross... It's actually the letter "T" from the 3D Letters SVG Kit plus the iron Cross from the Christian Elements SVG Collection. Cool, eh? Yup, I am Canadian!

Flowers were used everywhere! I first used them on this cute Topiary Tree, then walls, and finally as little accents throughout... they kind of became weeds, lol. Same flower different sizes, various layers!

This perfect little book is where my daughter stored her keepsakes from the day... it's already jammed full! Kind of wished I had made it a little bigger! 

The invitations I made below, I think have to be one of my favorite projects from the event. Simple and easy to make especially when you have a bunch to make! Aren't those the cutest pearl grapes ever?! 

Here is a peek at the inside, done by using the Print n Cut on the Silhouette Cameo.

How darling are these little favor boxes?!? They are the perfect size for a little Thank-you for your guests to take home.

See, I told you those flowers were everywhere! Weeds, I tell you!!! They even made it to every single pew down the center aisle of the Church (not one picture of them did I get... "OUCH"... that was me kicking myself!)

and some more weeds, lol! But, look how they pretty up the vases ;)

O, o, and here is the cake! Isn't it purty!?! SO delicious too! I tried to make it somewhat look like my daughter's dress... well to the best of my abilities! 

OK! Are you ready for the SECRET to keeping balloons from deflating (well at least 1 week!) Scotch quick dry glue!!!

While I was experimenting with how to cover a balloon with tule, I had a light bulb moment! I knew that the balloons that you get filled up at the party places get some type of liquid squirted inside them to make them last longer, so I thought to myself why not squirt a little bit of glue at the end of the balloon (where you tie your knot). Well, my idea worked and a few days later the balloons were still the same size except for the one balloon I didn't do my glue trick to, which was all shriveled up!

As promised for those of you that want to know how to recreate these paper projects, here is the recipe! Most files I used were not altered, only changed in size.

Banner - Toil and Trouble SVG Kit

Book - Spirits of Christmas Past SVG Kit

Favor Boxes - Playful Parlour SVG Kit

Chalice - Tea For You and Me SVG Kit + Maison de Madeline SVG Kit

Cross - Christian Elements SVG Collection + 3D Letters SVG Kit

Topiary - Thank You For the Music SVG Kit + Good Day at the Office SVG Kit

Wall Flowers - Good Day at the Office SVG Kit

Invitations - (card) Enchanted Autumn SVG Kit, 

(bread and chalice) Christian Elements SVG Collection,

(window) Silent Night SVG Kit

Here is a pic of my little Princess Maia, cause that's what she felt like and acted like all day! She was even doing the royal wave... SO funny!

I hope this blog post has been helpful in providing you with a few ideas for planning your special day! Not only for a Communion but there are so many other religious type events that these projects could be adapted to!

Lucky Leprechaun 3D Paper Pants and Green Bear Gift Boxes | SVGCuts

Top o' the mornin' to ya :)

Super excited to share with you my "Lucky Pants", my latest SVG Cuts DT project! Aren't they the coolest looking leprechaun pants you have ever seen???

Not only can you fill the pants up with goodies, but the green beer bottles also open up so that you can stuff them full of your favorites too!

I am SO in love with these pants and these papers are so gorgeous too!!!

And if stuffing the pants and bottles weren't enough... you can also fill the shoes with more treats! This will also help to hold the pants up in place! And just look... aren't these the coolest looking Leprechaun shoes?! Man, whoever gets this treat bag will for sure feel lucky!

I love that glittered belt buckle! OK, have to share a funny story about the buckle... I actually had to rip it off and re-glue it in a different position. The way it was glued on before made the pants look a little too Lucky if you know what mean, hehe! ;)

Check out those papers!!! OMG! LOVE!!!
