John's Moneyholder

This one was made for my son-in-law. This money holder was also made on the Silhouette as was the celebrate.   I used Crumb Cake and Basic Black cardstock from SU.  This cardstock cuts so nice on the Cameo.  I used Tombow Glue to put the letters on the front and used circle punches to make the little button and tied some rafia thread in the holes.  Really quick and simple as I said in the previous entry.  This file can be purchased at the Silhouette for only .99 cent.  It is so much fun to work on the Cameo.  Life just simpler in the craft department for me.  Hope you will make some.

Happy Stamping and Crafting!

Makayla's Birthday Card moneyholder

This little moneyholder was made for our granddaughter that is turning 12 (going on 20).  She was at the beach on her birthday so we didn't get to see her.  When she came home she got this with her birthday money in it.  She loves the color pink as you can see by the color chosen for the card.  The holder was from a cut file on Silhouette Cameo Store and the numbers and saying were also cute from images from the Silhouette Store.  This helps making the card so easy.  Glitter was also used to fancy it up some. I think she will like this alot.  If you don't have a Silhoutte and have been thinking about getting one, don't hesitate any longer.  It is really worth having and saves a lot of time in making cards, vinyl sayings and making stencils to etch on glass.  I just love, love, love my Silhouette!  LOL!

Sketch Challenge

I joined a sketch challenge this month and this is what I came up with.  I used the new in-colors for most of the card.  Watermelon Wonder is the base card and for the next two layers Cherries on Top Designer Series Paper Stack were used along with the inks and Watermelon Wonder Lace Trim ribbon for the knot bow.  I cut the two layers on top at 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 and the top layer at 2 1/2 x 3 1/2, the tag was cut two inches at first and put in the tag topper punch and then I cut it down a little more to suit me.  The sentiment is from Sprinkles of Life stamp set in Watermelon Wonder with the sprinkles on the tag done in Watermelon Wonder, Delightful Dijon, Cucumber Crush and Bermuda Bay. Dimensionals were used to pop the tag on top

and glue dots were used on the ribbon.  The second picture shows the sentiment better.  On the inside is Happy Birthday.  I am in the middle of having to make quite a few birthday cards and was glad this sketch came along.

Supplies:

Butterfly Basics Birthday Cards

Butterfly Basic Stamp set is my all time favorite. You can use one or two of the stamps in the set or you can use all of them.  I have made multiple cards with this set.  Only 3 colors of ink was used on this card.  I used the stamp off method to make the colors lighter for background effect. On the background Whisper White card stock the stamp that looks a little like chicken wire was used with Sahara Sand ink and stamped off. This was done on the entire piece of white.  Then the ferns were stamped with Old Olive ink..you stamp the dark one then keep stamping off to get the lighter ones. The flower and butter fly were stamped with Elegant Eggplant ink using the same method.  The date stamp you can barely see behind the butterfly wing is stamped off and then stamped.  You can't see them real well, but I used rhinestones on the center of butterfly and in center of each little flower.  For the inside and I forgot to take a picture before sealing envelope is the saying from Remembering your Birthday stamp set. Truly easy card...it took about 20 minuted to do 2.

A list of supplies used:

Stamp sets: Butterfly Basics 137154 and inside Remembering Your Birthday 131350
Cardstock: Whisper White 100730, Elegant Eggplant 105126
Ink: Elegant Eggplant 105210, Old Olive 126953, Sahara Sand 126976

Candy Jars for Father's Day Gifts

The candy jars were the perfect idea for the guys with a "Sweet Tooth". The designs were purchased in the Silhouette and changed around some to fit each person.  One likes Laffy Taffy and for the other one Reese's peanut butter cups.  The jars were purchased at Walmart and the vinyl is from Expressions Vinyl.  Black and Red were used for the jars.  The flourish is also from the Silhouette Store  This shows you the versatility of  some of the designs you can play with from the Silhouette Store.  I think the "Sweet Tooth" problem has been met.  For the Laffy Taffy it took two bags and for the Reese's it took 4 bags.  Makes for a nice gift that will look okay sitting on the counter in your kitchen.

Birthday Candles!

These were made for my sister and a friend that share the same birthday.  The candles are from Walmart.  Purple and Silver vinyl was used for the monograms.  They were bought from the Silhouette Store and the vinyl is from Expressions Vinyl.  You just have to measure the jar and then make the design to fit and Woot! Woot!  you have a cute gift! The candles are Vanilla Fragrance. Love the Silhouette Cameo.
