Easter Greetings - My Creative Time Too Die For Tuesday

Hello, here's a card I made for My Creative Time's Too Die For Tuesday. We needed to make something using one of the dies and I saw this card on Pinterest that I loved, so simple yet so pretty. I used the negative space of the Scalloped Egg Dies over a stamped pattern using the solid large stamp strip from the Mad For Plaid set. I curved it and used some Lawn Fawn inks to get the nice colorful pattern. I used one of the sentiments from the Favorite Bunny set with some black versamark ink, embossed the top layer with the cricut swiss dot folder and added the Fun Size Scallop Stitched Bow. Such an easy card to put together!

Doodlebug Design Collectible Pin Treat Bags Design Team Project

Hello, here is my Collectible Pins Project using some Doodlebug cut files. So many people love to collect pins and I thought this project would make such a unique way to give one as a gift to somebody special.

These treat bags were so simple to make and they didn't take much time at all. I took some of the cut files from the Silhouette Design Store and laid out my design in Silhouette Studio Designer Edition, you can also get the svg cut files from Lori Whitlock's shop to use with Cricut Design Space, Brother Canvas or any other software that accept svgs. I then did a mirror image and printed the designs out on some Fabric Inkjet Transfer Paper. I followed the directions and ironed them onto some muslin bags. I replaced the string on the bags with some Doodlebug Chunky Twine and added the tags.

This Cup O' Jo pin along with a bag full of beans makes this the perfect gift for that coffee lover! Cut files and tag are from the Cream & Sugar collection.

Hopper the grasshopper is the cutest pin, I knew I wanted him hopping through some flowers. Everything except for the grass is from the Spring Things collection.

I hope you've enjoyed these projects, have a wonderful day!

Somebunny Loves You - Doodlebug Design Print N Color

I created this scene in Silhouette Studio using some Doodlebug Design cut files so I could print it out and color it in. I love that I'm able to do this now with doodlebug images, there is just so much you can do with cut files. I used my prismacolor pencils to color this one in, I haven't used them in so long it was time to break them out, lol!

All the images are from Doodlebug except for the grass and the stamped sentiment is from My Creative Time, it's the only thing that wasn't printed. You can get Doodlebug svgs at Lori Whitlock's Shop or the Silhouette Design Store for the Cameo.

My Creative Time's 65th Release Sneak Peek Day 4

Welcome to the last day of sneaks, tomorrow is the reveal and blog hop!

Today we are showcasing the

Long Treat Box Die & Stitched Butterfly (FREEBIE)

I saw a cute cup made from a pillow box on pinterest and it gave me such a great idea to make a St. Patrick's Day mug from this long treat box. I just really love how it came out. This box also has a label die and I used that as a handle using a rectangle die to cut out a piece. For the foam on top I used the puddle die from the new Make a Splash set and the stripes down the mug I used the solid Maid For Plaid stamp. You could make a float and use a scoop of ice cream or whip cream at the top, too cute!! I used I'm A Lucky Girl and You're My Pot Of Gold sets along with the Stitched Belly Band dies.

This butterfly die is the freebie and will go to the first 75 shoppers who order after the release goes live tomorrow, March 17th, 2017 @ 8am PST. The sentiment is from the new Make A Splash set.

Baby Gift Card Holder - Doodlebug Design

I thought the vest svg from Doodlebug's Snips & Snails collection would make a cute gift card holder using one side for the card to slide into. I wanted a shirt for the inside so I used the onesie and removed the v neck. I also wanted a bow tie so I welded together two toe pieces from the booties and a rounded square, really came out pretty good!

The buttons and sequins are all from Doodlebug and The striped paper is from the Spring Things collection. The bow tie paper is from rainbow gingham-linen petite 6 x 6 pad.

Both sentiments are from My Creative Time's Hello Baby set. I used some pop dots to hold down the flap that the gift card slides into and the other flap tucks nicely under the bow tie to hold it closed.

You can find Doodlebug cut files for the Silhouette Cameo here.

My Creative Time's 65th Release Sneak Peek Day 3

Easter Treat Bags - Doodlebug Design and Lori Whitlock

I love all the bunny bags I've been seeing using the Mama Elephant dies, they are simply adorable. For my treat bags I used the Tall Treat Bag from Lori Whitlock and the Mrs Bunny and Mr Chick from Doodlebug Design's Easter Express cut files.

I just love how they came out and they were so quick and easy to do. When squaring off the face I added a rectangle and welded it with the face layer.

The Easter Express bunny paper is totally perfect for this bag!

As is the chick paper for this one! The sentiments are both from the Easter Express collection and I finished them off with some Chunky Twine. The colored cardstock is also from Doodlebug.

Doodlebug and Lori Whitlock files can also be found in the Silhouette Design Store for the Cameo.

My Creative Time's 65th Release Sneak Peek Day 2

Welcome back to day 2 of sneaks!!

Today we are showcasing the

Showers of Happiness Set

I used the umbrella die and a sentiment from this set along with the Favorite Bunny set and Pretty Edge die. The patterned paper is from Doodlebug Design. One more thing, I needed the bunny to face left so I stamped him on the back of a background stamp and then laid the paper on top of it to get the stamped image, that's how I get my stamps to face the opposite direction.

***Sneak Peek giveaway!***

Doodlebug Design February Daily Doodle Design Team Project

Hello, I have a Doodlebug Design project to share today! It's a Cream & Sugar Calendar page using a sheet from the Daily Doodles collection. I wanted something special for my grandson's first year of monthly photos and this collection is absolutely perfect for this project.

All the diecuts I used are from the Cream & Sugar Odds and Ends pack. These really helped me put this layout together very quickly,

As a family we go to Chowderfest in Saratoga Springs, NY every year, it's on the first Saturday in February. You go around to each restaurant and for a dollar you get a cup of chowder and at the end you vote for your favorite, it's such a fun weekend. Well this cup is full of chowder, and yep we got donuts up there too.

Baby Everett is my first grandchild so he is all about sweet hugs & kisses, this Cream & Sugar collection totally reminds me of him!!

I love that the Odds and Ends pack have everything you need to put a layout together, like the cute little banner pieces, I just added some Doodlebug letters with some Doodlebug Swimming Pool Twine. The Sprinkles Washi Tape adds a nice border to the top and bottom.
