Sign for Wedding - Because Someone We Love is in Heaven

Happy Friday Crafters,

Today starts the PDE Linky Party #165 No Cards Challenge.

For this challenge I'm sharing with you a sign I made for my best friend's wedding.   

She recently lost her father and her husband-to-be's mom had went to heaven years before and they wanted to acknowledge them at their wedding.  To do so she asked me to make a sign with this wording on it that she could place next to pictures of her dad and his mom and this is what I came up with.    

I used a 12" x 12" canvas board I bought from Michaels.   I painted it with Martha Stewart Acorn craft paint.   I used Silhouette vinyl that she bought from Michaels, sorry I don't remember the color and I forgot to write it down.  :(

The one thing I wish I would have done is to put a few coats of Mod Podge over the words before I hot glued the shells onto the canvas.    Other than that I was happy how it turned out and how it matched her beach theme perfectly. 

Project Recipe:

• Artist's Loft® Necessities™ Canvas Panel - 12" x 12" from Michaels
• Martha Stewart Craft paint - Color Acorn
• Vinyl from Michaels
• Shells from Michaels

I hope you join us in this challenge and share your craft project with us.

Tag - Duck in Umbrella

Happy Friday Crafters,

Today is the new challenge over at PDE Linky Party's blog.

This week's challenge is #164 Tags

I made this tag with the mindset that I would eventually put it on a card.   

Don't want a good craft project to not be used.  :)

I used the png file from the KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles-Rainy Day Duck file and added some liquid glass/glossy accents on the water.   I also used liquid glass/glossy accents to the rain drops on the digital background paper. 

See below for a complete list of items used to make this tag. 

Tag Recipe:

• Duck in umbrella is from KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles-Rainy Day Duck file.   
• Liquid Glass is from Close to My Heart but you could also use Ranger Glossy accents.
• Gift tag is from the Silhouette Design store - Elegant Gift Tag Set Design #6168
• Digital paper used for the base tag and tag mat are from Prettygrafik's April Shower PS706 set.
• Used PS706-01 for the base and PS706-06 for the mat.

I hope you join us in this challenge.

Licensed to Drive - 16th Birthday Card

Happy Friday Crafters,

Today starts the new PDE Linky Party Challenge.

This weeks challenge is #163 Cards.

For this challenge I'm sharing the card I made for my godson's 16th Birthday.

He was studying to get his license so I thought using Miss Kate Cuttables License to Drive Title would a perfect addition to his card, but I modified it by adding a "D', you'll see why.

After I put the card together I realized that I should've put the "&" after the 16 and the "Soon to be" under it but if I tried to remove them to rearrange it I would have destroyed the background so I left it as is.   Despite that little mess up I'm quite happy with how it turned out.  

Card Recipe:

• Card Base 5-1/2"x5-1/2"
• Miss Kate Cuttables License to Drive Title
• Background from a file I purchased from the Silhouette store
• Speed Limit Birthday Road Sign - Design ID#33731
• 16, Soon to be, and D were cut out using a font in my Silhouette program.

Hope you join us in this challenge.

Birthday Card - PDE Linky Party ~ #162 Anything Goes

Happy Friday Crafters,

Today starts the PDE Linky Party #162 Anything Goes Challenge.

For this challenge I'm sharing with you a birthday card I made for my niece using a colored digital stamp and digital paper from The Paper Shelter.  

For the teal and burgundy papers behind the pattern paper I used the color fill feature in my Silhouette software by pulling these two colors from the pattern paper.  

Here's what my screen looked like before I printed it and then cut it with my Silhouette Cameo.

Note how I put the shadow background to the skateboard girl in the center of the burgundy square.  I did this to save ink and so I could print everything on one sheet because you wouldn't see the hole when it's layered all together.   I also cut a skateboard girl without being on a background so I could pop her up on top of the skateboard girl on the background.   Hope that makes sense.  

Here's the finished card.   I love how this turned out. 

See, if I didn't tell you, you would never know that there is a hole in the burgundy paper used on this card. :)

Hard to see but she is popped up with dimensional squares. 

Card Recipe:

• Black card stock from my stash cut to make a 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base
• Burgundy & Teal background paper cut at 4.596"x4.596"
• Back ground paper and girl with skateboard are from The Paper Shelter Cool Skater-Digital Stamp
• Sentiment from the The Stamps of Life - happy2becircles stamp set
• Dots from my stash.
