Christmas in July

I don't know about you, but here in Maine, we have had a week of 90 degree weather!  So to cool off a little, I wanted to make a few Christmas cards.  I chose to use the adorable Seasonal Chums stamp set and framelits.  

I love this little reindeer.  The little Christmas trees in card #1 and the snowflake in card #2 are all part of the framelits that match the stamp set.   I used wink of stella on the trees and snowflake to give them a soft subtle twinkle.  

Here is a list of supplies I used to make these cards.  If you would like to purchase any of these items, please shop my website http://www.lindatherrien.stampinup.net.  Thank you.

For my project I decided to make a scrapbook layout from when my son was 3 years old.  We took him to a zoo for the very first time and he fell in love with this little goat.  He must have followed this goat around for 45 min.

 

All the images came from my cricut library. 

Fence - Paper Doll Dress up cut at 10 1/2 "

Lambs - Animal Kingdaom cut at 7"

Barn - Every Day Paper Dolls cut at 6 1/2'

Title - CTMH Arbooking cartridge cut at 1 1/2"

 

I didn't have a lot of room for journaling so I mounted the picture on a yellow card so I could tell the story privately.

Bee-utiful Summer Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome back to the 2nd day of this Bee-utiful Summer Blog hop!  I hope  you had time yesterday to go through the hop, there were some awesome projects and inspiration, everyone did an outstanding job.

Now if you came here from Angela's Blog you are in the right place.  If you just happened to stop by for a visit and would like to start at the beginning, please start at Lisa's Blog.  You will also see a list of our generous sponsors.

For my second project, I decided to make another scrapbook layout.  Every summer, there is always something to be done in the yard.  This year we are doing some landscaping.  I have a 13 year old Shitzu that loves my Finace to pieces, they are each others best friends.  Now this dog does not like loud noices, but he just had to help Mike run the tractor and insisted on sitting on his lap as Mike drove the tractor around the yard.  Even when Mike got off the tractor, Mickey had to be sitting on the seat waiting for him to return.

I cut everything out on my Silhouette.  Inside the sign you will notice a paw print, I printed Mike and Mickey inside of it.

On the words "work zone" and the white part of the pilons, I put stickels to make them shiney and I used some burlap behind the top picture for texture. 

I hope you like it.

Your next stop in the hop is Sarah

Jungle Animals

Good Morning everyone.  Today I want to share with you a layout I made using the file "Jungle
Animals" from www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com.  I just fell in love with this set when I saw it. 

I used the print and cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo so I was able to size the giraffe larger than the other two critters.  I wanted to use him more for a border.  Used Martha Stewart punches for the borders and littel burlap for texture.

I don't know if you have heard, but Nikki at www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com has lowered her everyday prices to .99 for sets and .50 for singles.  She is also a Silhouette dealer, so you can buy all your supplies and accessories, along with the machines from her.  :)

Hope you enjoyed this layout, it was a lot of fun to do.

Anything Goes Blog Hop

Welcome to the Paper Piecings By Nikki March Blog Hop "Anything Goes". Our Design Team went crazy and did what ever they felt inspired to do.

If you arrived here from Patti's Blog then you are in the right spot. If you want to start at the beginning, please go to www.paperpiecingsbynikki.blogspot.com. Here's our line-up in case you get lost along the way.

Nikki - www.paperpiecingsbynikki.blogspot.com

Debbie- http://craftydeb-ddscrafts.blogspot.com/

Amanda B- http://thescrapoholiccandyshop.blogspot.ca/

For my project I made a super cute scrapbook layout.  It was inspired by the window card I made last week and one of Nikki's new files.

I wanted to make this layout look like the side of a house.  I took coordinations sandable stack and scored it at every 1 1/2 inches and then sanded the score lines to give it a weathered siding look.  I placed the window card in the upper left hand corner with Pookey bear peaking out the window at the
Rainy Day Bear, as if he is checking to see if it is ok to come out and play.  I used the trees for "shrubbery" from the Campin Crazy file.  What I did was combined them in my Silhouette studio software and then used the print and cut feature.  Then popped up the Rainy Day Bear on pop dots to give it some demension.

Using the card on the layout gives you plenty of room for pictures and/or hidden journaling.  This is a picture of one side of the tri-fold card open..

And here it is fully open - total photo mats are 5 - 4 with the tri fold card and one matted on the upper right hand side of the layout :)  I love using cards for this reason - you get a lot of real estate on a 12 x 12 sheet of paper.


Now hop on over to Amanda and make sure you leave a comment on each stop along the way. When you're done hopping, check out the new items at our store, www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com , and 'like' our facebook page for weekly challenges and fun giveaways!

Thanks for taking time to hop with us today!

Creative Cards #2

Hi Everyone.  I made another window card with the new Creative cards cartridge.  This one looks like the front window on your house.

The bee and little teddy bear came from www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com , which I hand cut out.  If you have not shopped at Nikki's store, she has files to fit everyones needs.  If you have a Silhouette or other electronic cutter, she has the files for those, but if you don't - she has them so you can hand cut them out too - so if you you are looking for cute files that you can't get on a cartridge, check out Nikki's site. 

Cricut's New "Creative Cards"

Today, I used the new Cricut cartridge, "Creative Cards".  I made the first card on the cartridge which is the birdcage card.  I didn't realize it was a tri-fold card - what a great surprise!!

Here is the front of the card, cut at 5 1/4 inches or just press "fit to page" feature on your expression and it will automatically cut at 5 1/4 inches. 

here is the inside flap.  You can add a small sentiment below so it will not be seen when the card is closed.

and here is the card totally open for you to write.  You can cut two of the mats and mount it to the right side also if you wanted to :). 

I watched a youtube video on someone that made this into a swing card.  I believe she did this in the Cricut Craftroom or possibly with her gypsy.  She widened the opening and made the birdcage a little smaller and hung it with a brad so it swung through the opening.  Very cute version.   You could cut the birdcage out in black to make it look like a wrought iron cage also. 

All in all I think it came out cute.  The cartridge also has a coordinating envelope to cut for this card.

Hope you like it.
