Celebrate

  I used my Pazzles and an adorable cut file from Paper Crafting World to make this sweet birthday card for Die Cut Tuesday at My Paper Crafting.  

The cut file is Celebrate Bear, Cupcake and Balloons and can be found HERE.   Instead of using colored cardstock for the balloons, I cut them out using Xpress- it paper so I could color with my Copic Markers for a more transparent look. All of the cut layers are inked with VersaMagic Chalk ink.  I used a Signo white gel pen for the faux stitching and highlights on the eyes and nose.  The balloon strings are baker's twine and the dotted strip is Washi tape.   I hope you'll plan to visit My Paper Crafting to see more cut file projects and link up your own.   You still have time to link up to Digi Desserts Fridaze.  There's a great freebie that you can download as well.  You're linking up for a chance to win a free digi from PCW and a chance to become our next Guest Designer.  Just click HERE.  

Yummy Love

  Hello Crafty Friends! I sure hope you haven't experienced the cold and flu that's going around.  I caught a cold over 3 weeks ago and it keeps rearing its ugly head.  I had the entire house to myself for 4 days and didn't have the energy to craft - imagine!!  I'm on the mend now, just a nasty residule cough.   Anyway - it's Die Cut Tuesday at My Paper Crafting.  I finished the last of my Valentine goodies for my daughters using the Love in Heart Title cut file from Paper Crafting World.  

 

These are large chocolate bar pockets - you know, the Godiva or Trader Joe's giant bars.  The titles are cut in three layers with the top layer popped up.  I used my Pazzles to cut the files.  The flowers are more from the amazing set of 100 handmade flowers that I received from Jani of Paper Compulsions.  The gifts are simple but fun and I think the girls will like the papers and colors.

 

Be sure to join me for Digi Desserts Fridaze at My Paper Crafting.  You still have time to pick up last week's free digi and enter for a chance to be selected as a future Guest Designer.

Bear with Heart

  Woohoo!  Here's another card created using my Pazzles and this adorable cut file from Paper Crafting World.  I made it for today's Die Cut Tuesday post at My Paper Crafting.  

This Bear with Heart Balloons can be found HERE.   Melin has a wonderful Creating Faces tutorial on the MPC blog.  Just click on the TIPS-TECHNIQUES tab.  While you're at MPC, be sure to take a look at the rest of the Die Cut Tuesday projects.  If you create something using a PCW cut file, be sure to link up so we can all enjoy your crafty goodness.   I'm entering this card in the Red Carpet Studio "Ted" challenge and Cut It Up's "Love is in the Air" challenge.

Raggedy Bunny

  Good Morning Crafty Friends,   Today is Die Cut Tuesday at My Paper Crafting.  Although I'm on the Crafts with Cutters team and coordinate the Digi Desserts Fridaze gals, I decided to try my hand at Melin's cut files as well. This cutie is Bunny Raggedy with Hearts and she can be found at Paper Crafting World by clicking HERE.   I have a Pazzles Inspiration cutter which I got recently and was so excited to finally sit down and create with one of Melin's fabulous cut files.  I really like the way this project turned out and am so glad to be learning more and more about my Pazzles.  Her files come in lots of different formats so they can be cut with almost any cutter that works along with your computer. And, don't you love Raggedy's dress?  It's from my new Authentique paper pack - just love those papers!   There are more cut file projects for you to see at My Paper Crafting.  You'll also see some of Melin's newest cut files. And, just like Fridays, Melin is offering a free cut file for you to download.   I'll be back tomorrow with a Crafts with Cutters project created using a Cricut cartridge so I hope you'll be back as well.   I'm entering this card in My Craft Spot's "Anything Goes" challenge. I'm also entering Cut it Up's "In with the New" challenge.
