Psalm 78 Dogwood Digi-Cut File Card

Good morning all,

This post is for all the crafters out there that use their cutting machines to cut things out that are not on a cartridge. I created the Dogwood branch and flowers on this card. I also created the Digi Stamped Sentiment. It is an excerpt from Psalm 78:4-7.

Side view to show some of the dimension.

Happy Birthday Puppies Cricut Layout

Good day crafters!
Here is a layout I made for a challenge. The challenge was to use the colors: Brown, Red and Blue and to use the Stretch Your Imagination Cartridge. The only things that aren't from SYI cartridge are the lettering (those are from the Hello Kitty Font Cartridge) and the Happy Title Digi Stamp I created.

ALL die cuts came from Stretch Your Imagination!

INCLUDING THE PUPPY DOGS! That's RIGHT! We were told to Stretch Our Imaginations....
So in true Paper Piecing Fasion.....I DID!

Here is a view of the entire layout.

Here is a closeup of the puppy on the left. I used my Pebbles, Inc. Dry Decorator Chalks to chalk the edges of my die cuts. For a tutorial on how I create my die cut faces, CLICK HERE

Here is the cake. I chalked it, embossed it and added a little glitz with my Stickles.

Here is the puppy dog topper. Even his hat is from SYI. You can see that I used my White Gel Pen as well as my chalks to give all my die cuts dimension. Of course, I had to add some touches of glitter too.

Here is an angled view to show the dimension on the page.

Here is the puppy dog on the right.

I almost forgot to mention....The Dogs are STRAIGHT CRICUT CARTRIDGE ONLY!

NO Design Studio

NO SVG FILES or third party software

NO Gypsy

I think it's obvious where the colors brown, blue and red are (as well as every other color in the rainbow...lol).  Well I guess that's it for today! Hope you have a wonderfully creative weekend!

Thank you for sharing your crafty time with me!

Father's Day Layout and Card Set

Good day crafters,

Here is a layout I did for the Pink Elephant challenge. I also completed a coordinating card. 

View of both projects

I used Fall Breeze Glimmer Mist to shimmer up the frame, Flowers and the flourishes. Please see bottom of post for Flower Tutorial link. I created the frame and the flourish for my digital cutter. I want to start sharing some of these files with everyone, but I am still really green in this area. I will update this post with a link to the free flourish file this afternoon hopefully!

View of the layout.

The flourishes on the border is the free cut file at the bottom of this post.

Closeup shot of the flourishes and flowers. FREE flourish file at bottom of post.

Here is a closeup of the card. This is the FREE frame cut file I will be giving to my newsletter subscribers. So be sure to sign up :-)

Different angle to show the raised frame. I will be giving this Digi Stamp Sentiment and the one on the layout to my newsletter subscribers as well.

The frame on the right is the one misted. The other is just the plain cardstock. I am trying to show how very pretty the glimmer mist makes it. It is just hard to photograph.

Here is a close up of the flowers I made. You can make these using a flower on the Forever Young Cartridge. Or you can use punches or a cut file. Whichever you have. I did color the brad with my Copic marker. It was originally a gold brad. Yeah Copics!

I have a quick tutorial on making these flowers on my website.
