Paper Christmas Tree Tower for Treats | SVGCuts

Happy Holidays to all my Crafty Friends! Today I'm excited to share with you the cutest Christmas Tree Treat Stand!

The perfect centerpiece to display all your Christmas goodies. For specific instructions on how to put this together, you'll want to check out my latest SVG Cuts Guest Post... "Christmas Tree of Treats"

This project comes together fairly quickly. Simple, elegant, and my favorite USEFUL! Need to store some extra treats? No problem, the base of the tree is the perfect place to hide all those extra treats!

Functional and Fun! 

The top of the tree is adorned with a bright star that lights up with a flick of a switch. The tea light just pokes through the center of the star to add a little twinkle!

Use some fun papers and colors to coordinate your treat stand with the rest of your table and party decor. 

For those interested here are the SVG Cuts files you will need:

Garland - Clara’s Christmas Strips SVG Collection

Treetop - Catacomb Manor SVG Kit

Tree bottom - December Gifts SVG Kit

Star - Stars and Stripes SVG Kit

Cut on the Silhouette Cameo with SSDE

I hope this has inspired you to create your own treat stand to display and serve your Holiday goodness! Make sure you stop by the SVGCuts Blog for all the how-tos and exact instructions.

DIY Custom Canvas Bags | Teacher Gifts

With the end of the school year quickly approaching, I thought I better get busy making some teacher appreciation gifts! The kids were very blessed to have amazing teachers once again this year. As a little thanks for all that they have done for my children, I always like to make something personal that will remind them of the kids. I hope they like them as much as I had fun making them!

This was my very first time creating something with the heat transfer material. I have to say I LOVE it! I want to create more with it! It was super easy!!!

Here is the front side of the bag, I'm not sure if I will ever get tired of seeing variations of this phrase... for now, I still love it! I think the teachers will too! Click here to see another project I made using the "Craft On" version.  

To the other side of the bag, I added the teacher's name. Mrs. Archer and Mrs. Attema are awesome!

When they open look on the inside, they will see the kids' names... hopefully, when they see that, they will have only good memories of them... lol!

The next few pics are of my daughter's bag for her teacher.

Here is a better look at the front design on the bag! Love those little book worms ;)

Want to know how to make your own?

You will need...

Silhouette Machine and SDE software
Files (worm and apple) SVGCuts 

Silhouette Heat Transfer Material

Canvas bag (Tulip - Grab & Tote)

Iron

• First, create the image you want to be cut on the Silhouette... here is how I did it...

• For the image I created, I used a Couture font. Wrote the out phrase and lined it up as pictured above.
• Next, I worked with the apple and worm file to create a border around the images by grouping different layers together and using the offset and modify functions. 
• Once I was satisfied with the images, I resized them and positioned them next to the phrase, and made sure everything was lined up properly.
• Group all your images together.

• Now all that is left to do is follow the directions for the heat transfer material. Ensuring that you flip your image horizontally so that your image looks backward and setting blade depth is set correctly for the transfer material. I would advise you do a test cut first to make sure your settings are all correct. Iron on as directed. 

That is it... it's that easy! Hope you've enjoyed this DIY tutorial and project, let me know what you think and if you have any questions.

Paper Clock Lamp | SVGCuts Challenge Entry

Hello Everyone and WELCOME to all my new followers! SO happy to see new faces on this little blog of mine! Make sure you leave me a comment and say HI so I can get to know you as well!

Today, I want to share with you my second attempt at the SVG Cuts Facebook Lamp Challenge! This time around I stuck to the rules, LOL! My inspiration came from the paper used, DCWV Tattered Time Stack. I love the vintage, "MAN"ly look of it! 

So here is my lamp, LOVE how it turned out :)

The files I used all came from SVGCuts, Maison de Madeline SVG Kit. I've been wanting to make the wall clock and thought why not incorporate it in the lamp. 

 Here is a closer look at the lampshade. I really wanted to make the clock functional but couldn't find a small enough clock movement kit for this project. I did find the next best thing... Tim Holtz's Idea-ology Time Pieces. His stuff is AWESOME!

Side view of the lampshade and all the gears.

Below is a close-up of the details on the base of the lamp.  Stamp comes from Stampendous Time Flies collection. I finished the pull cord chain with the cutest Flair button from Paper Play Studio, I thought "dreamer" was the perfect little touch for a lamp. 

And my favorite part of the lamp is actually seeing it all lit up! Isn't it pretty?!? I think this is going to be the perfect Father's Day gift for my hubby! He collects watches, so I know he is gonna love this!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you've enjoyed my version of the lamp. If you're a paper crafter make sure you enter the challenge! It's really all about fun and pushing your creativity, and if you win something it's a bonus!

Happy Crafting :)

Rocking Horse Shaped Baby Card | SVGCuts

Here is a card I made recently to add to my card collection, I'm trying to be prepared for upcoming occasions! It seems you can never have too many cards handy!

The file for this card comes from SVGCuts Bundle of Joy Kit. Instead of creating the Rocking Horse bag from which this image comes from, I decided I would turn into a card. To do that, before I cut out the back part of the horse I created a fold line on the upper top portion of the cutout by grouping a dashed line to it. Then glued the front of the card to the top part of the backside, above the fold line. I also created an internal offset of the inside of the card to give it extra strength and stability.

This is what the inside of the card looks like when opened up. Unfortunately, I can't tell you where this stamp came from as I may have thrown out its info :(

Well, hope you like this cute little card I created. If you're in the need of baby files Bundle of Joy Kit is definitely one you might want to check out!

Happy Crafting!
