Valentine's Card ~ Love You to Pizza's

Happy Sunday Crafty Friends,

Have you ever been in a position that you need to create a card fast and don't have time to cut all the pieces of the file out, ink them and put them all together.   Well that's one nice thing about the KaDoodle Bug Designs (KBD) because the files you purchase or get from the "Freebie of the Week", you not only get a SVG file but you also get jpg files of all the images which you can print and then cut them out fairly easily and quickly

I was in that position last week.  I was crazy busy at work so when I get home I was just too tired to spend a lot of time on making a Valentine's Day card for my hubby.   I knew I had to use the KBD Love You to Pizza's file because we both love pizza and almost have it once a week.   

So I used my Silhouette Cameo to print and cut the adorable pizza and title from this file.    

To use the jpg, I open it in my Silhouette Design Studio software, trace it using the tracing tool and then crop it to remove the white background.   I then offset it to put a little white border around the image select to cut that offset line, group the image and the offset line.  I then changing my cutting format to Print and Cut and print on my printer.  After it prints, I put it on my mat and cut it out on my Cameo.    NOTE:  YouTube has a bunch of fabulous videos to show you how to use the trace feature if you have the Silhouette Design Studio software and haven't used it before

I accented the cute little pizza with white Gelly Roll pen and I accented the title with Wink of Stella Clear Glitter pen.    Used a deep red card stock for the base of the card, stripped paper for the mat and used a die cut to cut out the polka dotted mat.   Added the title and little pizza guy and I was done.  

Easy Peasy and here's the finished card.  

Oh and I had to put him on an Action Wobble.   

Hubby got a chuckle out of this card and I hope you did to0.

PDE Linky Party ~ #157 Anything but a Card Challenge

Happy Friday Crafters,

It's Friday time for the PDE Linky Party, #157 Anything but a Card challenge.

My Stampin' Up January 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit that arrived just in time for this challenge.

I was planning on making some valentine goodies and this kit had almost everything I needed to accomplish that task.  Of course I had to embellishment them with some cute valentine print and cut images from some of my favorite companies I like to get my SVG files from. 

Here they are.   

I didn't use the gold thread in the kit because it was too thin for me so I grabbed some gold embroidery floss from my stash and used that instead to add bows to the bags. 

I put two delicious Ghirardelli Squares in each bag for a sweet Valentine treat. 

I didn't like the way the back looked so I decided to use the heart stamped with one of the sentiments from the Paper Pumpkin kit to hide it.   Just used my ATG Gun to add adhesive to the heart and placed them to cover the back. 

Note:  Instead of using the square Calypso Coral ink pad included in the kit, I chose to use my Stampin' Up Regal Rose stamp pad to stamp the heart outline and sentiment.

Here a close up of the one with the Kitty holding a heart.  This image is from Miss Kate Cuttables Cute Valentine Kitty.  

Here a close up of the one with the adorable Love Bug.  This image is from Treasure Box Designs Stuffy Pals Love Bug

Here a close up of the one with the sweet bear with heart bee wings holding a honey pot.  This image is from KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles Honey Bear.

Project Recipe:

• Gold heart bags, banner center accent, arrows, heart on back with sentiment stamped on it and sentiment are from Stampin' Up's January 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit.
• Miss Kate Cuttables Cute Valentine Kitty
• Treasure Box Designs Stuffy Pals Love Bug
• KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles Honey Bear.
• Gold embroidery thread from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by.  

Hope you join us over at PDE Linky Party blog for this challenge.

Snowman "Frozen" Valentine - KaDoodle Bug Designs Magical Winter Wonderland

Happy Monday Crafters,

Hope you had a fabulous weekend and squeezed some crafting in.   

I was able to complete a couple projects Sunday afternoon which made me happy.  

The one I sharing with you today was made for the KaDoodle Bug Design "Anything Winter Related" Challenge that is ending this Thursday, January 22nd.   Check out all the details on their Facebook Page KBD Challenges.

My neighbor's little girls love Frozen and when I was at Target I saw these Frozen candy valentines I had to pick them up.  

I could have just given these to them just as they were but no....as a crafter I had to "dress" them up. 

I used a Tic Tac cover file from the Silhouette store and modified it to fit these candy boxes and added a rectangle cut out on the front so you could see the Elsa or Anna on the box.   Couldn't stop there.  I had to add a die cut to the front and of course I had to add Olaf the snowman.   For Olaf I used the snowman from KaDoodle Bug Designs Magical Winter Wonderland file.   Needed something for my sentiment so I grabbed a heart from KaDoodle Bug Designs You're Great Valentine file and sized it to 1.55" x 1.716".   

Stamped it with the "# Love" sentiment from Craftin Dessert Diva's Teenage Dream stamp set.  Used VersaMark ink and embossed it.   Punched a hole in one corner and then tied it to the box with some twine. 

I can't wait to give these to them. 

Card Recipe:

• Snowman from KaDoodle Bug Designs Magical Winter Wonderland file
• Heart from KaDoodle Bug Designs You're a Great Valentine
• Tic Tac Cover from Silhouette Store - Designs #69149 - modified to 7.698" x 5.625"
• Sentiment from Craftin Dessert Diva's Teenage Dream stamp set
• Twine from Pick You're Plum

Thanks for stopping by.

I hope I've inspired you to create some Valentines.

Happy Crafting!
