Hi Everyone! 

Today I get to be a guest designer for Miss Kate Cuttables! Just love her files! 

I created a fun Valentine's Day card using the "cute valentine hippo" file.

I used a black card base I had on hand, and every single piece of cardstock was from my scrap stash. I love polka dots and stripes together, and thought these worked great together! Added some bling to the corners of the hippo as well. Inside, I added a white background to make writing on easier, and I stamped my sentiment using Jaded Blossoms "Valentine Luggage Tag"

Thanks for taking a peek and Happy Valentines Day!

Hello, my friends!

I'm really happy to be Guesting for Miss Kate Cuttables today!

Are you familiar with MKC?

They have so many fabulous files to play with!

You'll want to head over there...when you're finished here! :o)

One thing that's really fun about these files is that they can be used as cut files, 

or as print and cut files. 

I decided to do some of each. 

Here's what I made: 

It's an easel card! Isn't it fun?

This sweet image was done as a print and cut.

I inked the edges, adhered it to the cut base, and added the Stickles.

The title was also done as a print and cut.

I inked the edges, and then mounted it to the base with foam tape.

The foam tape raised it up to serve as a stopper for the top.

Here's a side view.

To finish it off, I added some pearls around the scallops of the front base.

Other Materials Used:

Machine: Cricut Explore Air;

Bling: Crafts - Pearls;

Ink: Distress Ink - Walnut Stain;

Stickles: Diamond.

You Make My Heart Saur

Hi folks!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards; happy I was invited to continue as a Miss Kate Cuttables design team member again this year.  Another year of working with great products and a great team.  This year we have a few new team members, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they create!

Speaking of creating, see what you can create using the Freebie of the Week.

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I decided to make a card celebrating love!  I worked with two adorable cut files which were "made for each other", literally.

I used Dinosaurs in Love and the You Make My Heart Saur Title, as well as a digital pattern from the Love is in the Air Paper Collection, one of my favorites.

To create the card base, I used a Silhouette store cut file.  This shaker is a little different in that it's built to the inside of the card.  I didn't want to obscure the title in any way, so I made this shaker understated, putting just a handful of hearts in various sizes.  

I converted the You Make My Heart Saur Title to print only as I didn't want the shaker contents to get stuck on anything.  I attached it to the inside of the card with mounting tape.  I adhered the acetate to the back of the patterned paper before attaching it to the card front.

I cut the dinosaurs from scrap paper...always nice to reduce the stash of scraps!  As a result, though, the light green layer was textured and the light pink was not.  I wanted to create texture, but nothing as deep as an embossing folder; so I ran it through my Big Shot between two very well used cutting plates.  The result was a subtle texture; just enough so it didn't stand out next to the green texture.

After I assembled the happy couple, I added some Wink of Stella in their spots and Glossy Accents on the hearts.  After I attached them to the card, I found the top of the card to be little "needy" so, using the heart included in the title cut file, I cut three hearts for across the top.  Of course, I just had to add more Wink of Stella to them and randomly on the plaid pattern as I'm addicted to using it.

Inside, I took pieces from the title again and created a sentiment to coordinate nicely.

Thank you for stopping by today.  If you get the chance, please come visit me at Katydid Cards to say, "hello".

You, Me and Penguin Makes Three!

Hi! Jenny from Jen's Crafty Place here to show you a fun winter card.

Before we get into my project, be sure to get your FREEBIE OF THE DAY over at Miss Kate Cuttables by clicking here.

Now back to my card, I used the adorable penguin from the Penguin Set.

I made both penguins since I was cutting anyway. This way I have one ready to go for my next project! (I also cut two more penguins from Penguins Set 1) See my blog for more detailed instructions on how to make this card and others.

 

I hope you like my card. Give it a try! If you make something with these files, be sure to post them over at my blog and share with all of us! Until next time, Happy Crafting!!
