Birthday Ribbon Cards

Hope you all are enjoying the Summer so far! We here are enjoying a heat wave, can't complain because in these parts before you know it the white stuff will be back! :(

Today I have a really cute project to share with you guys, Birthday Ribbon Cards! I have a few birthdays coming up and I thought these ribbons would make the perfect ribbon/card for the Bday Kids! Years ago one of my favorite Paper Artists Thienly Azim created something similar, and as soon as I saw the Ribbon in Fleurette Bloom's latest kit I knew I had to combine the two!

The files for the ribbon and card I used come from Fleurette Bloom's latest Motorcycle Racing 3D SVG Kit. The rosette I used comes from her Lucky Day 3D SVG Kit (Note: to create a fuller rosette as I did, I cut out 3 strips... only 2 are included in the rosette file)

All cut on the Silhouette Cameo.

 Here is what the inside of the card looks like.
Check out how I meshed the ribbon and card! Clever, right?!

First, make your ribbon then punch a hole at the top of your card to slip the fastener through. Use some sticky dots or foam tape to allow for easy removal of the ribbon from the card. It's that simple and easy!!!

I love the patterned papers I used for the rosettes. The paper comes from Hazel & Ruby - Gone TYPO collection pack.

Stamps come from Studio G.

Hope this little project inspires you to create a ribbon/card for your next Birthday Boy or Girl!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting  :)

Andre 3D Paper Letters | SVGCuts

Recently we had a new arrival in the family. My cousin's little guy Andre! 

Since he has been born I had been meaning to make his name using SVGCuts 3D letters. Well, I finally got around to making them! Perfect time too as today was his Baptism and they were used to help decorate for the event :)

Here are a few close-ups...

I think these papers I chose are timeless and yet still cute enough for a baby Andre to grow into a little man.

 I love this little tag in the picture... It is what I wish for Andre, I hope he always dreams big and is able to achieve all he hopes for!

These 3D Letters make great baby gifts and are the perfect touch for any nursery. I LOVE how they turned out, hope you did too!

Year End Teacher 3D Shaped Paper Gifts | SVGCuts

Hello Everyone! 

Have you missed me? I've been away on a few trips since my last post, for those who follow me on Instagram you all know where I have been ;) Check it out if you already haven't!

Anyways, on to today's post... Year-end Teacher gifts! Can you believe it? Another year has just flown by... still feels like my kids just started school yesterday! Hopefully, summer won't feel like it flies by too!

To thank the teachers at the end of the year I always like to make them something to remember my kids by! Both my kids have loved having their teachers this year and they truly are fantastic people! This is the least I could do to thank them :)

For my daughter's Teacher here is a 3D Apple Box... at least this apple will last forever! Is it not just the cutest thing?! Thanks for a great year Mrs. O!

The files used for this apple come from SVG Cuts Miss Baker's Classroom SVG Kit and Miss Karen's Back to School Bags SVG Kit.

Here is the open Apple. Perfect for some treats!

Here is the 3D Soccer Ball made for my son's Teacher! My son says he is a huge Soccer Fan! Plus it's perfect for the FIFA World Cup games going on right now! GO Team Portugal! Thanks for everything, Mr. V!!!

Here is the open Soccer Ball! Again, a great little treat box!

The files for this 3D Soccer Ball come from SVGCuts Fun and Games SVG Kit. Super easy and quick to put together too!

And lastly, a few Thank You Cards! This card comes from Back to the Books SVG Kit. If you are looking to make teacher gifts now or for when the kids start back to school again, make sure you stop by SVGCuts for tons of School project ideas. 

Hope these projects have inspired you for the next time you need a Teacher's Gift!

A Beary Happy Father's Day Box Card | SVGCuts

Hello Everyone!

With Father's Day around the corner, I wanted to share with you my latest SVGCuts 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.
Boy, these are very modern Bears...check out their trailer, LOL!

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!

Hope this has inspired you to create your own Father's Day Box Card. Make it as simple or as complex as the Dad in your life!

Thanks for stopping by!

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 SVGCut'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!

Thanks for stopping by!

3D Paper Rocket Ship Gift Box

The day I made this 3D Rocketship I began with the plan of creating a simple Birthday Card. Somewhere along the way the card turned into this Rocket Ship. Totally cool with me as I was happy with the results and hopefully the Birthday Boy was too!

The file for the Rocket Ship comes from Fleurette Blooms Outer Limits - Space 3D SVG Kit. I have been wanting to make this for a while, maybe that explains my change in direction!

Check out the little Alien at the window, SO cute! (Well for an Alien I anyways)

The Space Ship is perfect for storing little treats or a giftcards for the Birthday Boy. This would also make a cool decoration or centerpiece for a Boy's Birthday Party!

Thanks for stopping by, hope you liked my 3D Rocket Ship. If you make one of these don't forget to share it on Fleurette Bloom's FB page!

Happy Crafting Everyone :)

Paper Tropical Fish Aquarium | 3D Paper Decoration | SVGCuts

I am SO super excited to share with you my latest SVGCuts project! Check out my paper Tropical Fish Aquarium, I think this has to be one my favorite SVGCuts project so far. Isn't this just the coolest Fish Tank you have ever seen!?!

Filled with tropical paper fish that will never die if you forget to feed them, and even better yet you will never have to change the stinky water or ever clean it! How perfect could it get?!?

For those of you interested in recreating the Aquarium here are the SVG Kits that you will need:

Box Cards SVG Kit
Gift Boxes SVG Kit

Seaside SVG Kit

Surf Shack SVG Kit

Tropical Friends SVG Collection

Wet N Wild SVG Kit

For the exact instructions and measurements, click HERE.

The COOLEST part is that the aquarium actually lights up! YES, it sure does!
Making this the wickedest (if that is even a word) night light for kids :) My only problem now is that I have to find time to make another one as I have two kids and only one aquarium, LOL!

Here are the battery-operated LEDs tucked secretly under the lid! Clever huh?!? 

Hope I have inspired you to create your own LOW/no-maintenance aquarium. This project would make a great gift for the classroom, the office, or your kid's room! 

Thanks for stopping by!
