<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hi again everyone,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I know, I know... it's been ages since I've posted anything, right?! But what can I say, life just kind of got in the way of my paper crafting time and with our new addition to the family, and our house flooding in a storm, I needed a little of time just get back to "normality" - Whatever that means, lol! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Nonetheless, I've dusted my Silhouette off and I'm back in my newly painted craft room - ready to start creating again!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So to get me back into the swing of things, I decided to make this super cute (and super easy) little hat from <a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/?AffId=10">Fleurette Bloom's</a> awesome new kit - <a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/Hooked-On-Fishing-3D-SVG-Kit_p_198.html=?AffId=10">Hooked on fishing</a>. It's such a fun kit with so many great elements for guys! That said, I decided to gi</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">rly it up a bit to show you just how versatile this kit is!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KXz3Lo2Pb20/VY_qjwhRx_I/AAAAAAAABww/5zzUs5YSojk/s1600/11403332_10152946901182011_6878137186034240369_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="506" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KXz3Lo2Pb20/VY_qjwhRx_I/AAAAAAAABww/5zzUs5YSojk/s640/11403332_10152946901182011_6878137186034240369_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I cut and assembled the hat pieces as per instructions on the easy to follow PDF file included with the kit. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> I was going for a more natural look so didn't want the edges to be perfectly straight. So o</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">nce I added the hat rim, and while the glue was still a little wet, I curled the edges between my thumb and forefingers in a few places. Once the glue dried properly, the curves were set perfectly. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WnSHqhOPB8A/VY_qkvy5L7I/AAAAAAAABxA/TeWvaAQifu8/s1600/11427263_10152946901517011_2345158132680298784_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="464" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WnSHqhOPB8A/VY_qkvy5L7I/AAAAAAAABxA/TeWvaAQifu8/s640/11427263_10152946901517011_2345158132680298784_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I didn't cut any of the accent pieces for the hat as I wanted to decorate it </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">with some flowers instead. </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used the medium spiral roses from the <a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/New-Lush-Flowers-3D-SVG-Collection_p_137.html=?AffId=10">New "Lush Flowers" 3D SVG Collection</a> to make both the flowers. I just scaled the one down slightly and cut them out of different coordinating papers to create some interest.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Finally, I added a couple of leaves from the same kit, some Kaisercraft pearls, and viola... it was ready to be filled with little treats.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I created this cute treat bucket - the perfect gift for someone special this Valentine's day. <span style="text-align: center;">The bucket file is from Fleurette Bloom's</span><span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/Beach-Bucket-3D-SVG-Project-Kit-_p_174.html=&AffId=10" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Beach Bucket 3D SVG Project Kit</span></a></span><span style="text-align: center;">, It's super easy to put together and I just love how I was able to adapt a beach bucket to a Valentine's theme!</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I just couldn't find the right stamp so I made my own using sketch pens in my Silhouette Cameo. I love this technique as you can choose the colour, font, and of course - the caption, to suit any project! I completed the spade by wrapping the handle with </span><a href="http://shop.anniespaperboutique.com/TRENDY-TWINE_c68.htm" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Totally Raspberry Trendy Twine</span></a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">. I just love how it turned out. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After I cut all the pieces of the flower, I thought it looked a bit flat. So with a bit of twisting and bending of all the pieces for the flower, it really made it come to life. As I didn't have anything in my stash to match, I decided to make the burlap button using my I-top tool and then added a </span></span><a href="http://shop.anniespaperboutique.com/TRENDY-TWINE_c68.htm" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Totally Raspberry Twine</span></a><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> bow before adhering it to the flower. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Finally, it was time to add the treats! You can add anything of your choice of course, but I opted for good old marshmallows! Who doesn't like those:) I simply placed them in a cellophane bag and dressed it up with a mix of </span><a href="http://shop.anniespaperboutique.com/TRENDY-TWINE_c68.htm"><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Totally Pink</span></a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> and <a href="http://shop.anniespaperboutique.com/TRENDY-TWINE_c68.htm"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Totally Raspberry Twine</span></a>. </span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I think it looks good enough to eat, don't you?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here's a closer look at the star card. It was so quick and easy to put together, you won't believe it. I just added a button, some ribbon and piece of Delilah <a href="http://www.whimsyfarmtwine.com.au/gallery?view=grid&order=name" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Whimsy Farm Twine</span></a> and there it was - all done!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hi everyone,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">No matter how well I plan, I always seem to need a few more cards in the last days just before Christmas. This year of course was no different:) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, if you're anything like me and still need a few last minute cards, why not try one of these cute little snow globe cards that I made for my latest Fleurette Bloom DT project?</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kDJgITb3374/VJLUEW0o_2I/AAAAAAAABrY/9i2C-XYnF3Q/s1600/10863829_10152525231767011_6135746643120846155_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Snow Globe Shaker Card " border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kDJgITb3374/VJLUEW0o_2I/AAAAAAAABrY/9i2C-XYnF3Q/s1600/10863829_10152525231767011_6135746643120846155_o.jpg" height="426" title="Snow Globe Shaker Card Fleurette Bloom" width="640" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Isn't it adorable? Well, not only is the snow man super cute, but what I love most about this card is that I was able to cut all the pieces (apart from the snowman) out of ONE piece of 12' x 12' cardstock. Isn't that awesome? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">How did I do it you may ask? Well, here's the scoop:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used the Snow Globe card from the <a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/New-Holly-Days-Boxes-Cards-Kit-Collection_p_125.html=&AffId=10" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Holly Days Boxes and Cards Kit/Collection</span></a> and imported all the required pieces into my software. I then drew squares around the pieces and filled them with papers from Fleurette's New <a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/New-Merry-Bright-Coordinating-paper-Pack_p_185.html=&AffId=10" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Merry and Bright Coordinating Paper Pack</span></a>. Here's a snapshot of the layout in my software:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hacX92eR770/VJLg905Uh8I/AAAAAAAABsc/12lFqOwq1vo/s1600/Capture%2B2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Print and Cut Image" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hacX92eR770/VJLg905Uh8I/AAAAAAAABsc/12lFqOwq1vo/s1600/Capture%2B2.JPG" height="400" title="Snow Globe Shaker Card Print and Cut Fleurette Bloom" width="375" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Before sending it to my printer, I ensured that all the outlines where set to <b>no colour</b> and I also set my cut lines at the same time. By doing it this way, you will not only be able to see where your pieces are in the cut window, but you'll also be sure to get clean cuts with the print and cut feature. This is such a good trick as your cuts will always look perfect even if the printer calibration is slightly off. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Next I imported the </span><a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/Snow-Man-SVG-Cut-File-Printable_p_144.html=&AffId=10" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Snow Man SVG Cut File and Printable</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> and sized him down a touch so that he would fit into the snow globe. O</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">nce all the pieces were cut out, I assembled him as usual and gave him a cute Peachy Keen stamped face which I coloured with watercolour pencils. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gPgkOHNmJjI/VJLUEHuSOII/AAAAAAAABrU/ZXPabQP-JwI/s1600/10628889_10152525231712011_9381560287683345_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Snow Globe Shaker Card Snow Man " border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gPgkOHNmJjI/VJLUEHuSOII/AAAAAAAABrU/ZXPabQP-JwI/s1600/10628889_10152525231712011_9381560287683345_o.jpg" height="426" title="Snow Globe Shaker Card Snow Man Fleurette Bloom" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Finally, to make the "glass" for the snow globe, I cut an acetate circle slightly larger than the center</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> of the globe piece. I used Glossy Accents to adhere the acetate onto the back </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">of the top snow globe piece. I then added some dimensional foam all around the back of the globe piece and put some fake snow in it before I adhered it onto the snow globe base.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A touch of ribbon and viola - one super cute snow globe card ready in time for Christmas!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Design tip: Now that you've already designed the card in your software, why not make a few more? By simply clicking on each block and filling it with different digital paper, you can make more cards with entirely different looks in no time! </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I hope that you've enjoyed my project and that the tips and tricks will assist you when you make some of your own. If you do, I would love to see so please do share on my </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ChansCraftyThings?ref=hl" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">Facebook</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> page or on </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/fleurettebloomdesigns?fref=ts" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">Fleurette Bloom's</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> page. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hi again everyone,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm so happy to be able to share another one of my SVGCuts DT projects with you today. As I mentioned before, I just LOVE everything about Christmas. Needless to say, decorating the table is one of my favourite things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So for my next project, I made a table centerpiece with a twist. I combined two concepts: a gift (after all, what would Christmas be without those), and a traditional Christmas bouquet (even though it's summer here in Oz, I still like the idea of Christmas being in the winter). Anyways, this is what I came up with, a Wintergreen Gift Box Bouquet centrepiece...</span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ihG-Hte9eBM/VI6bvvKTdII/AAAAAAAABqk/5fGebGjoXsA/s1600/IMG_1530%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Wintergreen Gift Box Bouquet" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ihG-Hte9eBM/VI6bvvKTdII/AAAAAAAABqk/5fGebGjoXsA/s1600/IMG_1530%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" height="426" title="Wintergreen Paper Flower Gift Box Christmas Bouquet Centerpiece SVGCuts" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I started with a basic box (from the <a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=225" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Christmas Gift Bags and Boxes SVG Kit</span></a>) and tied a big bow around it. I then arranged a whole bunch of pinecones and wintergreens from the <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3640&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=152" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">3D Wintergreens SVG Kit</span></a> on top.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In the meantime, here are some more photo's. This one is a front view of the bouquet. I've had this ribbon in my stash for ages and was waiting for the perfect occasion to use it. Well, I think I found it, lol! Isn't it pretty? </span></div>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZRiT8ua6tbQ/VI6bvfKe0CI/AAAAAAAABqc/6r18fj9BGtM/s1600/2014-11-27%2B01%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Wintergreen Gift Box Bouquet Centerpiece Front View" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZRiT8ua6tbQ/VI6bvfKe0CI/AAAAAAAABqc/6r18fj9BGtM/s1600/2014-11-27%2B01%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" height="426" title="Wintergreen Paper Flower Gift Box Christmas Bouquet Centerpiece SVGCuts" width="640" /></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And here's a close up from the side... <span style="text-align: justify;">Those pinecones still amaze me - they're so easy to do and look so real! Mary did such a great job in designing them! </span></span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This must be one of my favourite projects yet. Whilst the wintergreens took quite some time to complete (as I made heaps of them to ensure the bouquet was nice and full), I found it quite therapeutic in a way. The best part was when I finally got to the arranging stage - it was so rewarding to see the end result!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I really hope that you've enjoyed this project as much as I've enjoyed making it. I also really hope that you will make one of your own. Don't forget to share your creation on my Facebook page - I would love to see your take on it!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hi everyone,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I just love this time of the year! I just love Christmas... the food, the gifts, and of course, the company! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, for my latest SVGCuts DT project, I decided to do an invitation for a Christmas celebration. If you're hosting this year, these will be perfect as you can make a whole bunch in no time at all. Not only that, these will leave a lasting impression as the cut-out doubles up as a tree ornament so your guests can use it for years to come and always remember the occasion! </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0HFkg9hA_kA/VIxV_JaZKfI/AAAAAAAABqM/uERL7-SterM/s1600/IMG_1543%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0HFkg9hA_kA/VIxV_JaZKfI/AAAAAAAABqM/uERL7-SterM/s1600/IMG_1543%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>

</span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the actual invitation piece, I used sketch pens in my Silhouette Cameo to do the writing before I cut it out (I love that technique). </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here's a picture with the ornament on the side, revealing the invitation text on the inside. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hi everyone,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Today I'm sharing something a little different... I've been super busy with Christmas gifts over the past few weeks and thought I would share some of my latest creations with vinyl.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These mugs make super cute gifts - they're great as is, or you could fill them with treats and simply wrap them in clear cellophane. Not only does this make for great presentation, but it will also save you from trying to gift wrap an awkward mug, lol</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For the first set of mugs, I used three different fonts (the one on top is the ever popular Samantha font) and sized the words until it looked about right. I then created an internal offset for the word "Christmas" and moved it aside. Once I was happy with the word placement, I welded them all together to create one cut file in pink. I did the same for all the names and then cut 4 of the offset pieces out of white vinyl. I love the layered look and it also breaks the pink a bit too.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5PlAE9BOH3U/VIusd8iMgnI/AAAAAAAABpI/SRiBkkulDsQ/s1600/IMG_1638a%2B-%2BBlog.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5PlAE9BOH3U/VIusd8iMgnI/AAAAAAAABpI/SRiBkkulDsQ/s1600/IMG_1638a%2B-%2BBlog.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The next set is for our local girl scouts so I wanted them to be a bit more fun and festive. I stuck to traditional Christmas colours and used the Adore font (LOVE it) for the names. The dots were drawn using basic shapes in my software. So simple and yet so effective don't you think?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uThukJFe-tU/VIusWaXRC1I/AAAAAAAABo4/Qa79XfQWDak/s1600/IMG_1644a%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uThukJFe-tU/VIusWaXRC1I/AAAAAAAABo4/Qa79XfQWDak/s1600/IMG_1644a%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Finally I added some cute candy canes to each mug. The santa was a freebie file from Miss Kate Cuttables and I simply did a print and cut and then added a touch of glitter before adhering these cuties to some candy canes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">These were heaps of fun to make! Probably a good thing as I still have to do a whole bunch more, lol!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hi everyone,</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Today I'm sharing my latest DT project for Fleurette Bloom. Although we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Australia, I simply couldn't resist making Fleurette's cute little pumpkin boxes from the <a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/Harvest-Happenings-3D-SVG-Kit_p_182.html=&AffId=10" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Harvest Happenings 3D SVG kit</span></a>! I just love the colours of fall (again not something we see much of here in the Sunshine State), so I was thrilled to use some lovely fall papers for a change.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K0x1lH6ujnc/VGW5qBu2xEI/AAAAAAAABmY/fNt7LuF6Z90/s1600/10648835_10152464231642011_7476511288655599425_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K0x1lH6ujnc/VGW5qBu2xEI/AAAAAAAABmY/fNt7LuF6Z90/s640/10648835_10152464231642011_7476511288655599425_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the tag, I resized the leaf place setting files from the same <a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/Harvest-Happenings-3D-SVG-Kit_p_182.html=&AffId=10" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">kit</span></a> and sprayed them with some Perfect Pearls mixed with water for a touch of shimmer. Whilst the leaves were still wet, I crinkled and curved them a bit and then dried them with a heat gun. I think it gives them a more natural look, don't you? </span></div>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x3jHJl3l8uQ/VGW5q_J4wqI/AAAAAAAABmc/BKJ1hu54OGU/s1600/1501416_10152464231672011_6202091918083911078_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x3jHJl3l8uQ/VGW5q_J4wqI/AAAAAAAABmc/BKJ1hu54OGU/s640/1501416_10152464231672011_6202091918083911078_o.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I did the same for the leaves on top of the boxes and then ran the vines through a crinkle machine before I curled them. As a final touch, I added some natural twine around the stems and grouped the boxes together with ribbon and some more twine.</span><br />
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HvJ4H6Pra5E/VGW5qpLG2QI/AAAAAAAABmk/U6cxQU3fzhM/s640/10403863_10152464231692011_4548501643172910521_o.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm really pleased with how my trio turned out and so happy that I decided to do this project even though we don't celebrate Thanksgiving. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I hope that I've inspired you to make some too.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Thanks for stopping by and Happy Thanksgiving!</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hi everyone,</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's been a while since my last post as it's been rather busy around here! In the last month, we finished our house build, moved into the new house and also welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world!</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Needless to say, there hasn't been much time for crafting! That said, things have started to settle down a bit now and I'm slowly getting back into a routine again which means that I can finally get back into my craft room! Yippee!</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, as the first order of business, I needed to make a few things for Halloween. Here are some cute treat boxes I created for the Fleurette Bloom DT. I just love the little Spiderellas and the googly eyes gives them such personalities, don't you think?</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The pillow boxes are from the <a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/NEW-Anytime-Pillow-Box-SVG-Cutting-File-Collection_p_121.html=&AffId=10" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Anytime Pillow Boxes SVG Collection</span></a> (I used the pillow box with extra's) and the paper is from the <a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/New-Howlin-Halloween-Coordinating-Paper-Collection_p_113.html=&AffId=10" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Howlin Halloween Digital Paper Collection</span></a>.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Don't you just love the twine? It's called, Holly, Bessie and Polly and are all from Whimsy Farm Twine. The colours are so vibrant and always gives a project that extra little "something"...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">These boxes were super quick to put together and will surely be a hit this Halloween. Hope you like like them and that I've inspired you to make some last minute boxes for the Trick or Treaters coming your way!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I cut and assembled the treat wrapper as usual but instead of using the usual label, I decided to add some pencils around a "chalk board". To make it look more authentic, I actually used some Chalkboard paper for this. I love this idea as you can use chalk to write anything you wish on the front of the wrapper. Why not personalise it with the child's name or write an appropriate quote on the front?</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the bookmark, I used a basic shape rectangle and added the same banner from the treat wrapper.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hi everyone,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yes, it's that time of year again... Summer holidays are coming to an end! For some this means finally getting back into some sort of routine, whilst others are dreading the end of summer and are </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">desperately trying to make the most out of the last few days before going back to work and school. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I made my latest project with the latter in mind, in the hope that it will put some fun into going Back to School again... </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's also my </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">first official post as a member of the SVG Cuts Design Team</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> (whoop, whoop!) and I am thrilled to share it with you today! </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I made a gift crate filled with lots of back to school goedies for a teacher. It includes a candy jar with decorative doily, an apple (which can be filled with treats as well), a useful notebook and of course, a matching card. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For full details and instructions on how to make this set, hop on over to the <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3640&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/blog/2014/08/15/back-to-school-gift-crate-by-chantel-schroder/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">SVGCuts Blog</span></a>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FaFWEeWshJU/U-35yYrKgYI/AAAAAAAABfU/XVubT-7H43I/s1600/IMG_0912a%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FaFWEeWshJU/U-35yYrKgYI/AAAAAAAABfU/XVubT-7H43I/s1600/IMG_0912a%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" height="390" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here's a close-up of the little crate - my favourite item in the set:</span><br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Aatt1gY9o0A/U-36A5KErII/AAAAAAAABfw/2QIZ5_LecHA/s1600/IMG_0922a%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Aatt1gY9o0A/U-36A5KErII/AAAAAAAABfw/2QIZ5_LecHA/s1600/IMG_0922a%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" height="422" width="640" /></a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When I showed it to my husband, he first thought that it was only a photo prop and asked me where I had found such a cute little crate. Well, let me tell ya, he was absolutely amazed when I explained that it was part of my project and that I had actually made it out of paper as well! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Don't you just love it when you can still surprise people with what you can make out of paper?</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Here are some close-ups of the other elements too: </span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KnLJ90Ks8Ak/U-35yYKu_OI/AAAAAAAABfQ/OnwOduoMgLs/s1600/IMG_0917a%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KnLJ90Ks8Ak/U-35yYKu_OI/AAAAAAAABfQ/OnwOduoMgLs/s1600/IMG_0917a%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Doesn't the apple look good enough to eat? It's such a cute file and I cannot believe that it's taken me this long to make one! I also really like the doily on the jar, tied down with some <a href="http://www.whimsyfarmtwine.com.au/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">"Bessie" Whimsy Farm Twine</span></a>.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0IxZI0mKbus/U-4RXNqzFHI/AAAAAAAABgA/Wz0wluyalkM/s1600/IMG_0918a%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0IxZI0mKbus/U-4RXNqzFHI/AAAAAAAABgA/Wz0wluyalkM/s1600/IMG_0918a%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used the same apple file for the jar, notebook and card and simply resized it to suit. Such an simple and effective way to make a matching set of, well, almost anything...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Jo9uY_PjGAk/U-35_-6y7cI/AAAAAAAABfo/fh4DXs1rmKY/s1600/IMG_0919a%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Jo9uY_PjGAk/U-35_-6y7cI/AAAAAAAABfo/fh4DXs1rmKY/s1600/IMG_0919a%2B-%2BBlog.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whilst I had a small notebook lying around the house, I think it would be just as easy to make one. Just cut out a couple of rectangles from some chipboard to make the front and back cover, then cut some paper to size, punch a couple of wholes in the top and bind together with ribbon, string or twine. Easy peasy!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Today I am sharing my latest project for a guest design post for SVGCuts! I am super excited about the project, not to mention the opportunity to be featured on the <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3640&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/blog/2014/08/05/retro-payphone-by-chantel-schroeder/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">SVGCuts blog</span></a> again!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So here is what I've created... an old fashioned, retro payphone! Do you remember these? I'm sure the Generation Y peeps will wonder what on earth this contraption is, but I clearly remember the days before mobile phone when you had to walk halfway around town looking for a payphone to make that ever-so important phonecall! Anyways, without getting too far down memory lane, let's have a look at some pics...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The payphone itself has three different compartments to put lots of goodies in. Here, I added some chocolate coins along with a few of my personal favourites...</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hi there, j</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">ust a quick post of a thank you card I recently made using a technique I saw on YouTube...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zrtfAjAyW8A/U4rhGAdtnbI/AAAAAAAABTc/m6HXQkJqJaE/s1600/IMG_0709a+-+Blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zrtfAjAyW8A/U4rhGAdtnbI/AAAAAAAABTc/m6HXQkJqJaE/s1600/IMG_0709a+-+Blog.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">
</span> <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The video is by Jennifer McGuire (sorry, I looked for it again but couldn't find it to share the link) and she uses a stencil, texture paste and embossing powder to create a really cool embossed image for a card front. So, following Jennifer's instructions, this is what I did: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used the 12' x 12' Damask stencil by Kaisercraft and placed it over a piece of plain white cardstock. First I applied texture paste over the stencil and then carefully removed the stencil whilst the paste was still wet. Then I covered the wet paste with Stampendous Kaleidoscope embossing powder and set it aside to dry for a few hours. Once dry, I heat set the embossing powder with my heating tool.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I stamped the sentiment and added a thin strip of red cardstock with a few Kaisercraft pearls before adhering it to the card base.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The raised areas stand out so much and it looks really cool - especially with the Kaleidoscope embossing powder. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I think I'm in love with this technique and hope you like it too. I just know I'll be using it quite often in the future. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whilst we're in the middle of winter here in Australia, the weather has been lovely and I'm certainly getting into the mood for summer! So for my project, I created this fun summer picnic lunch basket with matching utensil holder, cupcake wrapper and juice bottle. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used Fleurette Bloom's newest paper collection called </span><a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/Summertime-Fun-Coordinating-Digital-Paper-Pack_p_163.html" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Summertime Fun</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. These are all SUPER cute and the colours and patterns simply scream summer! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For the food basket, I used a file from the <a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/New-Holly-Days-Boxes-Cards-Kit-Collection_p_125.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Holly Days Boxes and Cards Collection</span></a>. I removed the lights in the original file and replaced them with the little flowers from the <a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/New-Celebrations-3D-SVG-Kit-Printables_p_152.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Celebrations 3D SVG kit</span></a>. I then used the cut-out flowers on the cupcake wrapper and utensil holder to tie all the pieces together nicely. The sandwich wrap is simply a strip of printed paper and the topper for the treat cup is a couple of circles and the small banner from the </span><a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/New-Celebrations-3D-SVG-Kit-Printables_p_152.html" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Celebrations 3D SVG kit</span></a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For the utensil holder, I used a file from the <a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/NEW-Valentine-Be-Mine-3D-SVG-Kit_p_138.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Valentine Be Mine 3D SVG Kit</span></a>, with the rosette from the </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/New-Celebrations-3D-SVG-Kit-Printables_p_152.html" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Celebrations 3D SVG kit</span></a>. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I then used the same rosette, just a touch smaller, to make the drink topper (which I simply glued to a straw).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As a final piece to the lunch set, I just had to make this cute cupcake wrapper, again from the <a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/New-Celebrations-3D-SVG-Kit-Printables_p_152.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Celebrations 3D SVG Kit</span></a> (can you tell I love this kit? LOL). I cut a few extra flowers out and added the ones left over from the lunch basket as well. I think it looks super cute in this polka dot paper, don't you?</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hi there,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today I am sharing a little gift that I made from my friend's crafty daughter. She celebrated her eleventh birthday last week so I wanted to make her something really special.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've been waiting for the perfect occasion to make the dress from from the <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3640&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=53&products_id=386" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Dress Shop SVG Kit</span></a> and knew that this would be it... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The paper is by Kaisercraft and I just love it on this dress form. It's so soft and subtle - very girly and ladylike! I added some white tulle around the waste and finished it off with a piece of satin ribbon and some pearls (also by Kaisercraft).</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For something extra, I poked a couple of small holes in the neck and worked some purple wire through. I like the little beads on top - gives it that final touch of "bling" that every girl needs. I hope you like it!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hi there, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">today I am sharing a gift combo I made for a young lady at work last week. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As some of you may know, another one of my crafty addictions is soap-making... So I whipped up a soap loaf (hope to do a blog post on that some time) and needed a small bag/box that would hold a single slice of soap. As I was looking through the tons of great boxes in the SVGCuts library, I came across the pillow box in the</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3640&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=225" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Christmas Bags and Boxes SVG Kit</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> and the dimensions were perfect for my soap bar.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I pulled out some playful birthday paper from my stash (sorry, I don't know the brand as I've had it forever) and cut out my pillow box. Here it is... super sweet and fun for a young lady.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5JvETvE4s-M/U8HnZASIQjI/AAAAAAAABXc/p8HOKGRMKc0/s1600/IMG_0878a+-+Blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5JvETvE4s-M/U8HnZASIQjI/AAAAAAAABXc/p8HOKGRMKc0/s1600/IMG_0878a+-+Blog.jpg" height="500" width="640" /></a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Onto the card... which was totally inspired by the cupcakes on the paper. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I went straight to the </span><a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3640&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20&products_id=295" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Happy Birthday to You SVG Kit</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> as I've wanted to make the cupcake lever card for ages. I'm so glad I finally did - it's such a sweet card and so easy to assemble. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: justify;">As the paper I used for this project is quite bold and busy, I decided not to do the flower on the card but rather to keep the embellishments to a minimum. The cupcake is so cute by itself so I thought just a little embossing for texture would be enough to finish it off.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hi, another quick post for today...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here's a card I made for a friend a little while ago. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used the No. 6 card from the<a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3640&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21&products_id=174" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;"> Sweet Designer Cards and Envelopes SVG Collection</span></a>. and stamped some swirls onto the top layer of plain cardstock and added some Perfect Pearls for a soft shine.</span></span></div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I then took a chipboard butterfly cut-out from my stash and covered it with a few layers of black UTEE. I added some perfect pearls onto the hot UTEE and then hit it with the heat gun for a few more seconds before stamping some swirls into it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love this technique - the texture of UTEE is awesome and the shine from the Perfect Pearls is just so pretty. Hope you like it too...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hi there,</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Wow, it's been ages since my last post... Things have been crazy around here with building a new house an preparing for our first baby all at the same time.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That said, I always seem to make a bit of time for crafting - not always blogging though... But I am happy to finally share this cute little bag I made for my Fleurette Bloom Design team project. </span></div>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oYpXS67krgY/U6-KYurrMKI/AAAAAAAABW0/0pbdm8JS0YY/s1600/10500369_10152185383542011_1477023553728133489_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oYpXS67krgY/U6-KYurrMKI/AAAAAAAABW0/0pbdm8JS0YY/s1600/10500369_10152185383542011_1477023553728133489_n.jpg" height="630" width="640" /></a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The gift bag cutting file is from the </span><a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/New-Peacock-Palace-3D-SVG-Kit-with-Printables-_p_158.html=&AffId=10" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">New "Peacock Palace" 3D SVG Kit - with Printables</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> from Fleurette Bloom. Such a fun bag to work with and I just love the Tiger Lilly embellishment. I wanted the bag to be a bit playful so decided to go with patterned paper for the lilly and leaves - rather than trying to make the flower look more realistic.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The digital papers are from Lori Whitlock's Maggie collection and so is the "beautiful" sentiment. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The whole project was made using the print and cut feature on my Cameo - which as you know, is one of my favourite things to do. </span></span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I cut and assembled the gift bag and then cut a couple of the extra flower elements from the same kit to add on top. I then embellished with a small butterfly I had in my stash along with some hand cut elements from coordinating paper. I used t</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">he Fiesta paper stack by DCWV and just love all the bright colours. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I finished the bag off with a bright ribbon as the final touch. Really pleased with how quick and easy this one to put together and can't wait to make some of the other elements in this great <a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/New-Celebrations-3D-SVG-Kit-Printables_p_152.html=&AffId=10" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">new kit</span></a> from Fleurette!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hi everyone,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Just wanted to share my take on the lantern card form the<span style="color: #b45f06;"> <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3640&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21&products_id=191" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Chamomile Friendship Cards SVGCuts Kit</span></a></span>. </span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used grunge paper from Tim Holtz for the top strip on the card and also on the tag. I love this stuff as it cuts really well in my Cameo and there is so much you can do with it. Here I ran it through my BogShot and then used some distress ink to make the embossed pattern pop.</span></div>

<br />I initially thought about using gold eylets and brads but then decided on the silver for a bit of contrast. This is such a unique card and it was fun to do something a little bit different. Hope you like it! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As you all know, I am a super big fan of SVGCuts and have been for quite a few years! So, you can just imagine how excited I was when I was asked to do a guest post for the SVGCuts blog!!!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I still have to pinch myself as I can't believe that this actually happened to little old me... but apparently it really did! My guest designer post went up on the blog yesterday and I am so SUPER excited to share it with you today:)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For my project, I used a combination of kits to make a miniature upside down cake box on a stand with a matching card. You can find complete instructions on how to make this project <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3640&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/blog/2014/04/02/miniature-upside-down-cake-box-by-chantel/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">here</span></a> on the SVGCuts blog.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the stand, I used the pedestal file from the </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3640&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20&products_id=295" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">Happy Birthday to You SVG kit</a></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">All the boxes were assembled as usual after I ran the side panels through my embossing folder. I then adhered the three boxes upside down on top of each other so that the lids become the "ribbon" around each of the cake tiers. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I then decorated it with ribbon and roses from the </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3640&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=242" target="_blank">Crush on You Boxes SVG kit</a></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The flower pot is from the <a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/Pot-O-Daisies-SVG-Cutting-File-PNG-JPG-with-PDF-Directions_p_75.html=&AffId=10" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Pot-O-Daisies SVG Cutting file</span></a>. I cut the base of the flower pot a total of four times. I cut two at the normal size and glued the sides and bottom together to make a pocket. I then cut one a bit smaller (just so that it would fit into the pocket nicely) for the card itself. To allow for a space to write a note, I added a fourth cut in plain white to the card. Here's a screenshot of all the pieces I cut for the pot and card base.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Okay, can I just start by saying that I LOVE the free </span><a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3640&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/blog/2014/02/07/octagonal-heart-box/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Octagonal Heart Shaped Box</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> from </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3640&jxURL=http://www.fleurettebloom.com/?AffId=10" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">SVGCuts</span></a></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">!

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For my project, I did change it up a bit though... I took the </span><a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3640&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/blog/2014/02/07/octagonal-heart-box/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Octagonal Heart Shaped Box</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and replaced the heart with the free </span><a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3640&jxURL=http://svgcuts.com/blog/2012/02/09/scalloped-shamrock-svg-free-svgcuts/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Scalloped Shamrock</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> file (also from SVGCuts). I really like how it turned out - especially with this amazing paper from Fleurette Bloom's store. It's the new</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://www.fleurettebloom.com/Lucky-Lu-Digital-Paper-Pack_p_140.html=&AffId=10" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Lucky Lu Digital Paper Pack</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> and it's simply stunning!

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Because the paper is colourful, I didn't even need to add a whole lot of embellishments... a button, a few rhinestones and a bit of ribbon is all it took to finish this box off nicely. </span></div>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--z8VxgtUd9w/Uv3LzeM3RKI/AAAAAAAABKM/wgC18xABP4o/s1600/IMG_0524+-+Blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--z8VxgtUd9w/Uv3LzeM3RKI/AAAAAAAABKM/wgC18xABP4o/s1600/IMG_0524+-+Blog.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As a final touch, I designed the little banner using basic fonts in my Silhouette software and then changed my blade to a pen in my Cameo. Once the writing was done, I changed the blade back and cut out the little banner shape. Super simple and a great idea for those projects where you just can't find the "perfect" stamp.</span></div>
