Oh Frap Bear Birthday Card

Happy Friday Crafters!

Today I'm sharing with you two cards I made with the KaDoodle Bug Designs Oh Frap Bear file.

Thought it would be fun to make the same style card to show one Oh Frap Bear where I used the SVG file and paper pieced the cute bear holding the frappuccino and one where I used the jpg to print and cut the Oh Frap Bear.  

To start I'm showing the card I made with the SVG file.

Here is a close up of the bear. 

I used Marvy Liquid Appliqué- White for the whip cream on the frappuccino.

Doesn't it look delicious?

Now for the same card but a slightly different look because I used the jpg to print it on my printer and cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo. 

Close up time of the print and cut Oh Frap Bear. 

Card Recipe:

• Card pieces are cut from Scrappy Dew, Mojo Monday 458

• KaDoodle Bug Designs Oh Frap Bear file

• SVG pieces inked with Stampin' Up Soft Suede, Glorious Green & Bashful Blue
• Used Uchida Marvy Liquid Applique Markers, White on the whip cream piece after I put the three pieces together. Added the chocolate chip squares while it was wet to make them look like they were sticking out of the whip cream. 

• Word background behind Oh Frap Bear was stamped with my MISTI using the Stampendous Cling Coffee Background stamp

• Sentiment from Jaded Blossom Coffee Break stamp set 

Hope you enjoyed me showing the difference between using a SVG cut vs a print and cut.   Both are so cute in their own way and I love how both cards came out.

Happy Crafting!

I Treasure You - Under the Sea Sunken Pirate Ship

Happy Tuesday Crafters,

I'm super blessed and excited to be this week's Guest Designer for Die Cuttin Divas.

This week's Die Cuttin Diva's Challenge is Under the Sea.

I have been seeing all kinds of beautiful sea related projects by crafters and I was overwhelmed by their beauty and their creativeness so I had my work cut out for me.   One of the things I haven't seen was an underwater scene with a sunken ship so I started searching for the the right images for my under water scene.

I found a pirate ship in my SVG data base by Miss Kate Cuttables that I felt would be perfect for the sunken ship.    I wanted snorkelers/scuba divers in my scene but unfortunately I didn't have any in my SVG arsenal so I went to the internet to search which brought me to the Prettygrafik website.   They had a boy and girl clipart sets that included a bunch of images that would be perfect for the design I had in my head so I bought them and the designing began.    

I put the card mat size on my Silhouette Design Software screen so I could size the pirate ship, all the sea critters and snorkelers.    Once I did that I printed and then cut them all out.

I used the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Broken China and Faded Jeans ink to make the ocean water.

I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Vintage Photo and Stampin Up Early Expresso to give the pirate ship character and then I ripped it in half.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink Tea Dye to dirty up the sails and then I ripped them and the pirate flags.  A sunken ship has to look damage after all.   

Card Recipe:

• Miss Kate Cuttables Pirate Ship
• This is what it would have looked like if I didn't destroy it by ripping it in half and making the masts and sails/flags look broken and destroyed.

• Prettygrafik Ocean Fun Clip Art
• Click here for Boy Ocean Fun Clip Art set
• Click here for Girl Ocean Fun Clip Art set

• Sentiment from Scrappy Mom Stamps Designer's Choice stamp set
• Tim Holtz Distress Oxide
• Sky - Broken China & Faded Jeans
• Ship - Vintage Photo
• Stanpin Up Early Espresso ink also used on ship
• White Gelly Roll Pen
• Pearls and gems from my craft stash

Thanks for stopping by. 

Hope you join Die Cuttin Diva's in this Under the Sea challenge.

Everything is S'more fun with you! Camping Card

Happy Wednesday Crafters,

I'm super blessed to be a Guest Designer again for Sunny Day Crafting.

Today Starts their C is for Camping Challenge.

I used three different files from KaDoodle Bug Designs to create my card.  

Here's a picture of my Silhouette Design Studio Screen showing you how I put the images to print and then cut them out. 

For the Sky I used the new Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink pads.

I've been watching YouTube Videos to learn how to use them better but I'm still learning and will continue to watch to learn new techniques. 

Here is my finished card.  

Didn't want to take away from the scene so I just used the sentiment I put on the inside. 

Here's a close up of those cute camping skunks.

Close up of the tent. 

Cut the pieces out on this one because I wanted the tent to be red not blue as it would've been if I used the jpg of the tent. 

Here's the the sentiment I chose to put on the inside of this card. 

Card Recipe:

• KaDoodle Bug Designs Wilderness Trail
• Used the Mountain and Tree from this file

• Took the bottom of the mountain from the SVG File.  Filled it with the color of the printed mountain, stretched it to make it wider so I could use it as the dirt for the campground.   After I printed it out, I used the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Vintage photo to give it some texture.  Put some of the ink on a craft mat, sprayed with water and then dragged it through the ink on the craft mat. 

• KaDoodle Bug Designs Roasting S'mores Skunks
• Used the Skunks and Fire from this file

• Fire accented with Wink of Stella Brush Clear Glitter Pen

• Ka Doodle Bug Designs S'more Love
• Used the Tent from this file

• Stakes colored over with Office Max Silver Metallic Marker

• Sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps Great Outdoors stamp set.
• White Gelly Roll Pen 
• Sky made with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Faded Jeans, Worn Lipstick & Wilted Violet inks

I enjoyed seeing everyone's creations for last weeks B is for Beach Challenge and I'm looking forward to seeing what you create for the C is for Camping Challenge that starts today.  Click HERE to go to the Sunny Day Crafting blog to link up your project.

Llama Birthday and Friendship Cards

Happy Friday Crafters

Today I'm sharing with you two cards I made using the new KaDoodle Bug Designs Llama Party file.   

I believe, for the first time since I started making cards I didn't put a sentiment on the outside of the card.  Was kinda hard for me to do this but with the card design I thought it was better without one. 

First I would like to show you the face I stamped on one of the llamas using my MISTI.  I used that green tool that has a little white tip to add ink to the eyelids of the face. 

The faces are from Pink and Main.  Here's a picture of the set i used.  

I searched google for picture of llamas to see what colors they are to help me when I was shading/adding color to these cut outs.

Here is the llama birthday card.

Close up of the party llama. 

Sentiment I put on the inside.   

Used my Silhouette Cameo to Print and Cut it out.

Here's the llama friendship card.

This is the sentiment I typed into my Silhouette Cameo software, printed it and then cut it out.  

Card Recipe:

• KaDoodle Bug Designs Llama Party file
• Birthday Llama shaded with Stampin Up Soft Suede & River Rock Ink and Friendship llama shaded with the River Rock Ink.
• Faces are from Pink & Main's Mini Faces Set 3
• Pattern Paper from Prettgrafik - Llama Papers - Item PS864
• Dots and flowers from my craft stash. 
• Card design = MojoMonday454 I download for free from Scrappy Dew website.  Click HERE for the link to it. 
• White Gelly Roll pen for accents. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Turtle Surfer Beach Card

Happy Hump Day Crafters,

Today I'm excited to be a guest designer for Sunny Day Crafting.

Their new challenge for the week is #43 B is for Beach. 

For this challenge I made a card using KaDoodle Bug Designs 

Cutie KaToodles - Beachy Turtles

I needed to make this card quickly so I used the jpg and printed it out on my printer and cut out with my Silhouette Cameo.   I needed more sand so I used the svg file sand, filled it with  color to match the color on the sand at the bottom of the turtles jpg.   It was too light for me and didn't have enough texture so I put Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Vintage Photo ink on it, sprayed it with water and used a paper towel to blend it and give it texture.   

I'm learning to use the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks so I'm trying to use them in my projects. 

Here's a picture of what it looked like after I added the ink and before I sprayed it with water.

Here's a picture of it when I sprinkled it with water and before I blended and dabbed with a paper towel.

I also used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide to create the background.  Used the Fossilized Amber, Fired Brick & Worn Lipstick.  Not the best background but I'm still learning.   For a quick card I think it turned out pretty nice.  

Card Recipe:

• KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles Beachy Turtles.
• Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks
• Vintage Photo 
• Fossilized Amber
• Fired Brick
• Worn Lipstick
• Wave die from Jaded Blossom Tropical Dies
• Sentiments from Jaded Blossom Surfs Up stamp set
• Gelly Roll pens - White, Blue, Metallic Gold, Metallic Green

Would love to see what you create for this B is for Beach Challenge.  Share your project over on the Sunny Day Crafting Blog.  Click HERE to go over to the Sunny Day Crafting Blog.

Owl Graduation Card

Happy Friday Crafters,

Today I would like to share with you a graduation card I made for my bestie at work's grandson who was graduating from Preschool.   

His group was the Owl Group so I knew the KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles Graduation Owl would be the perfect image for his graduation card.   

For the base of the card I used the 3D Popup Gift Card Holder by Lori Whitlock because she was giving him a gift card and I wanted to make it fun for him.

I used Jaded Blossom Banner Dies to make the banners and cut the letters out to fit on the banners using my Silhouette Cameo.

When you open the card you see the gift card holder pop up.

Wasn't sure where to put the sentiment and since the card was already put together I stamped it on a a square.  I was thinking of putting it on the blue pop up gift card holder so I rounded the corners but I didn't like it there so I  placed it on the top of the inside panel of the card.

Card Recipe:

• Card Base - 3D Popup Gift Card Holder Card by Lori Whitlock purchased from the Silhouette Design store -- Design #39264
• Watched her YouTube video to help my put it together.  Click HERE to go to that video.
• All colored/pattern paper from Die Cuts with a View (DCWV) 8"x8" The Education Stack

• KaDoddle Bug Designs Cutie KaTootles Graduation Owl
• Accented with a white Gelly Roll pen

• Jaded Blossom Banner Dies

• Sentiment on inside of card from Scrappy Mom Stamps Critter Crazy stamp set.
• Sorry Scrappy Mom Stamps is no longer in business.  :(

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Crafting!
