Paper Crafting World Design Team post

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my last post of 2017 at Paper Crafting World.

I'm taking December off from this team so that I can complete the Christmas projects I have on my list and to simply enjoy my family.

I hope you are able to do the same.

Here's my card using Tag Lattice V4 Cut file.

All the card components were cut on my Silhouette.  The sentiment is from a die cut set I have.
I used Authentique papers and added a base so that it's a card rather than a tag.

Paper Crafting World has some amazing cut files for cards, tags, and page layouts. 
I hope you'll visit - just follow the link above.

Christmas Joy

Hi Crafty Friends,
I'm sharing a simple yet elegant (I hope) Christmas card on the Paper Crafting World blog today.
I love the simplicity of this Poinsettia Silhoutte

I've used classic linen pearl papers in white and gold for the card base and mat.  I cut the poinsettia out of a pearlized red cover stock .  The sentiment is a La-La Land Crafts die which I cut from gold foil.  The polka dot paper if from the 6 x 6 stack, Gifts of Gold by Paper Studios (Hobby Lobby). I plan to multiples of this card for our holiday mailing.

Only Princesses Wear Pink

Hi Crafty Friends,
My October project for Paper Crafting World is an Awareness reminder and also a message of hope.

I've used the Bear Princess Sitting DS file from Paper Crafting World which comes with the sentiment and pre colored images as well as the line art.
I colored using Copic markers and added Spectrum Noir Sparkle glitter pen to the crown and ribbons.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month but please remember that many, many people are battling other forms of cancer and need your support as well.
Thanks for visiting.

You Are a Blessing

Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I'm sharing a project I created for Paper Crafting World.

The image is a print then cut which I printed on card stock and then scanned and cut  using my Scan N Cut 2.    All I added was some Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to the flower centers, a little touch up with a Copic marker and a bow using homemade crinkle ribbon.
I love the fall papers that I found in my crafty stash.
Visit Paper Crafting World to lots of print then cut images - so easy!

Two Scoops of Fun

Hi Crafty Friends,

It my day to post over on the Paper Crafting World Blog.

I create4d another one page layout using two cut files from Paper Crafting World.

I love the cut files that are titles - so easy to cut out and assemble.  I knew the layout needed a little something more so I added a bear file I had.  It's the Bear with Popsicle cut file but I made extra ice cream cones from the Two Scoops title file and then gave the bear a cone rather than a popsicle!!

The background papers are from Doodlebug Designs and the cut files were all cut from American Crafts Heavy Weight card stock - cuts so well using the Silhouette.

You can find these files by visiting Paper Crafting World (link above) and you can also find some amazing projects created by our artist/designer/leader/blog owner, Melin by visiting her personal blog,  My Paper Crafting.

Thanks for stopping in today.

Splash!

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my day on the Paper Crafting World blog.

I'd like to share a fun summer layout.

Isn't this great for that perfect pool or day at the beach picture?  I love the wavy overlay and the title is so perfect.  You can find the Splash Layout set HERE.



I used AC Cardstock and Doodlebug Design.  I find these brands cut so easily with the Silhouette.

Be sure to visit Paper Crafting World for even more layout designs to give your scrapbooks just the right touch.

Daisies for your Birthday

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my turn to post over on the Paper Crafting World blog.

Today I'm sharing a sweet card that I'll use for a birthday.

I used the Card Daisy 516 CF

I cut the file using my Silhouette.  I love all the card layers yet the flowers were simple to assemble.

The papers are from an older DCWV paper stack.  I added a little inking and some sequins.

Thanks for visiting.  I hope you'll head to Paper Crafting World and check out our wide variety of cut files, digis, and print and cuts.

A Layout!

Hi Crafty Friends,
I know, I know, you thought I only made cards!  Well there are those times when I do create a simple page layout (emphasis on simple).  It's my turn to share on the Paper Crafting World design team blog and I chose this fun page layout cut file from Paper Crafting World called "Sweet Summer Title".
Here's my 12 x 12 layout.

I cut the file on my Silhouette (it was already sized to fit a 12 x 12 layout) and just added the mat for a 4x6 photo and then tore the edge of some tan paper to make the sand - easy peasy.  I've had the background paper for ages so I can't even tell you the manufacturer.
Thanks for stopping in today.

We're a Great Pair

Hi Crafty Friends,
I'm sharing this card over on the Paper Crafting World blog.
Today is our 48th Anniversary so I made this simple card for the hubby using a retired file from Paper Crafting World.

Besides cutting the file on my Silhouette, I also designed the sentiment and then sent it to my printer. The base for the sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's newest die set, Label Shape Dies.
Happy Anniversary to us and Happy Summer to you!!

Wonderful, Beautiful YOU!

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my design team day on the Paper Crafting World Design Team Blog.

I have been wanting to try water coloring with Distress Inks and I found the perfect Paper Crafting World image on which to try.

Here's my project using the Wonderful Beautiful You Digital Printable stamp image.

I just smeared Distress Inks onto an acrylic block, dipped my brush in water and then the ink and began to paint.  I also used a water brush to help blend the colors.

The papers are from a K & Co stack I had in my stash.  The sentiment is a part of the Digital Printable set.  All I added was some American Crafts ribbon, and Queen&Co and Doodlebug Designs adhesive flowers and dots.  
Thanks for visiting!

Cherry Blossoms

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my day on the Paper Crafting World Blog.
I want to share a pretty card I made using the
Cherry Blossom Lattice CF  from Paper Crafting World.

I duplicated then flipped one of the card shadows so I could weld them to make a shape card base.  I also adjusted the size so that this card is an A2.  The lattice cut so perfectly on my Silhouette.  After cutting all the pieces, I inked the branch and blossom tips, added some Signo white gel pen, then shaped the blossoms and added pearls.  All of the papers are from my stash as is the ribbon.  

Thanks for stopping by today.  

Birthday Wishes

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my second post for today!!


I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and that your plans for the day didn't get rained out.
We've had so much rain in northern California.  We actually reached a record high for annual rainfall!
I'm really ready for more than two sunny days in a row LOL.

It's my day at Paper Crafting World.

 I used the Birthday Wishes cut file to make this card for a special friend.
The file would be great for a page title but I just sized it down to make this 5 x 7 card.

I cut everything using my Silhouette then added some sequins, twine, and a little glitter to the flame.

  Be sure to head over to the store to take advantage of this great sale.

Taking a Look Back

Hi Crafty Friends, Happy April!!
Today is my day to post on the Paper Crafting World blog.   I've been designing for Melin for many years so I decided to take a look back at some of the many files from Paper Crafting World that I've used.
Here's Bunny Girl with Flowers.

Isn't she cute?  I love Melin's cute animal files.  And, this file is still available.  It would be perfect for Easter or Mother's Day.
And now for some news! A new challenge blog is beginning on April 10.  It's called  Always Fun Challenges
You'll find us posting every Monday so be on the look out next week and plan on joining in the fun.

Love and Sunflowers

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today is my design team day on the Paper Crafting World blog.

 I'm sharing a card that I made for a country wedding.  The bride loves red, white and blue, checkered plaid, bandanna print, and sunflowers.  This cut file from Paper Crafting World let me fill the bill!

I used American Craft and Paper Studio Yee Haw patterned papers and plain card stock from my stash.  The cut file is Card Daisies Sundflowers N Pennants.  I cut everything using my Silhouette.  The stamp is a Crafter's Companion cling set called Words of Wonder set 2.  I used Powder Puff chalk ink to stamp and also to shade the flowers, leaves, and mats.

Thanks so much for stopping in today.

Love Me, Love Me Not

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my day to post on the Paper Crafting World blog.

I am so ready for spring, how about you?

Today I'm sharing a cute little digi file that can be for spring, Easter, or just to say, "I love you."

This file is Bunny, He Loves Me DS which can be found in the

Paper Crafting World store.  Just click the link to go directly to the file.

Everything used on this card is from my craft stash.  The pattern paper is a scrap from Authentique.  The "love" is a chippie from Make It Crafty.  I love these because you can color them so easily with Copic markers so that they match your design.  The filigree flower is a LaLa Land die.  And, of course, I colored with Copic Markers.

Thanks for stopping in today.  Please visit the PCW store for your spring and Easter cut file and digi projects.  There are so many to choose from.

You're So Cool!

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today is my day to post on the Paper Crafting World design team blog.

We've had so much rain and snow in Northern California that I think we're all ready to start thinking about summer and summer treats.  Of course, in my book, anytime is the right time for ice cream so this little treat holder would work year-round for me.

I've used the Ice Cream Cone Box CF from Paper Crafting World and cut it out using my Silhouette.
I added "sprinkles" using Nuvo Crystal Drops and a sentiment from Jaded Blossom's Ice Cream Kit stamps set stamped on one of JB's Dimensional Banner dies.

Wouldn't it be fun to fill this little box with goodies to top your ice cream sundae?

Thanks for dropping by!

Have a Scrumptious Birthday!

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my design team day on the Paper Crafting World blog.

Today I'm sharing another Paper Crafting World Digital Stamp file.
 Today's project uses the Bear with Cupcake n Sprinkles.

I used paper from a Crafter's Companion 6 x 6 stack that I ordered from HSN.  I also used several Jaded Blossom Die sets:  Card Mat Dies, Stitched Circle Dies, Scallop Circle Dies, and Bow Dies along with JB's stamp set, Hello Cupcake.

I colored using Copic Markers and some gel pens for the sprinkles.

  If you love coloring BEARS, PCW has three pages of digital stamps featuring BEARS for almost every occasion.

Thanks for stopping in today.

Happy Bird Day to You!

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my design team day for Paper Crafting World.

  I spent several years designing for Melin's Digi team so it's always fun to pick one of her cute digi files "for old time's sake!"

I chose the Toucan Happy Bird Day DS file for today's project.  It's such a happy image and so much fun to color.

I used Copic markers for the image and gel pens for the sentiment (comes with the file.)
I used a Martha Stewart cupcake border punch and the balloon bottom border die from Jaded Blossom's Border Dies 2.  I also used JB's Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut our the image.  Some baker's twine and several sequins finished the card.

Thanks so much for stopping in today.

Happy Mail

Hi Crafty Friends,

  I hope you had a wonderful holiday and that this New Year brings lots of joy to you and yours.
It's my turn to share a project on the Paper Crafting World blog.

I can't believe it's time to start thinking of Valentine's Day projects but it will be here before you know it.  Paper Crafting World has a lot of Valentine files to whet your crafty appetite.  I chose a new file which is a 3 D Mailbox.

This will make such a cute treat box but you could also put tiny Valentine notes in the box.
I made it into a shaker box by using Jaded Blossom stitched rectangle dies to cut a shaker window and frame.  I used my Fuse tool to make the shaker pocket.  I also cut out one of the sides and added a frame for the heat embossed sentiment.  The added cutouts are from a K&Company set of chipboard icons that I've had in my stash for a long time.  I also die cut the word, MAIL from Jaded Blossom Alphabet Dies to add to the front of the box.  The patterned papers are from Pink Paisley.  I like the non-traditional Valentine look of them.

Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to check the design team blog to see more design team projects.

Always Grateful

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my design team day on the Paper Crafting World blog.

For my project I combined two cut files from Paper Crafting World to make a Thanksgiving treat box.

I used the Always Grateful Title cut file for the sign that this cute squirrel is holding.  The Squirrel treat box is a Pazzles Craft Room exclusive.  In the original file the squirrel is holding acorns and there's an acorn handle but I think the sign is a cute substitution, especially if  the project is used as a Thanksgiving table favor.

The two files were cut using my Silhouette.  I added a little inking and Signo white gel pen accents.  I also glittered the leaves using Wink of Stella.

Thanks for visiting me today.  Be sure to visit Paper Crafting World for a wonderful selection of seasonal and holiday cut files and print and cuts.
