Glittered Stem Wine Glass

Hi there,

So I finally tried my hand at making a glittered stem wine glass... and it was so much fun! I've been thinking about it for a while but has never been able to work up the courage to do it.  So yesterday, I picked up some cheap wine glasses and decided to give it a go.

To be honest, I didn't even know where to start... but fortunately for me, there are a bunch of lovely Australian ladies on a crafty facebook page who were there to my rescue. Thank you so much to everyone who put up with my endless questions and provided lots and lots of advice.  You are all awesome!

After the glitter dried totally, I was able to add my vinyl and bling to the rest of the glass.  I used basic fonts and an SVG file from the Kate's Holiday Silhouettes SVGCuts kit.

I wouldn't say it's perfect - but I definitely think that I can get the hang of it.  I really am pleased with how it turned out and can't wait to make some more. Guess what my friends are getting for their birthdays this year, lol!

So, what do you think?  I really like it - just need to figure out how to take proper photo's of glasses going forward... lol...

Super Quick Hello Card

Hi there, 

Just a super quick post for a super quick card I made earlier!  

I used the Hello You card from the Everyday Cards SVGCuts Kit with paper from BoBunny's Back to Basics line. I added a thin strip of light yellow AC card stock which I ran through my BigShot and then embellished with a couple of buttons from my stash.  It literally took me 5 minutes to finish this card!

After I took the photo's I realised how obvious the white core of the paper was so I ended up inking the edges slightly to finish the card off nicely.  Hope you like it...

Valentine's Box with Heart Cut-outs and Rolled Roses

Hi everyone,

How cute is the new digital paper from Fleurette Bloom?  As soon as I saw it, I simply had to make something with it immediately! The collection is called Hearts a Flutter and you can get it here.   

The box cut file is from the Holly Days Boxes and Cards Kit / Collection.  I simply replaced the holly with a heart shaped cut-out from the Valentine Be Mine 3DSVG Kit.  The roses are also from Fleurette's shop, you can find them in the new Lush Flowers 3D SVG collection.

I hand-cut the little tag after I stamped the sentiment.  I'm afraid I don't know the name of the stamp set or the company as I bought a bunch of craft supplies from e-bay and the packaging wasn't included.  But the set is so cute - all very small stamps which are so handy for cards and little gifts like this one.

I used the print and cut feature on my Cameo for this project.  All the pieces and panels for the box was made with one piece of white AC cardstock.  The roses and leaves were done on an A4 sheet of cardstock to save paper. I just love how economical this method is!  You only print and cut what you need and you an use the digital paper over and over again... 

Hope you like my little gift box and that I have inspired you to make something cute for the Valentine in your life!

I "Like" Love you - Pillow Box

Hi there, today I am sharing a cute little pillow box I made using my Cameo and SVG files from Fleurette Bloom's shop.  

The box is from the "Anytime Pillow Box" SVG Cutting File Collection and the flower is from Fleurette's awesome new "Lush Flowers" 3D SVG Collection. If you haven't seen it yet, you HAVE to check this collection out... it's amazing and I can't wait to make it ALL!:)

I wanted the flower to really "pop" on the box so I inked the edges before spritzing the whole thing with some glimmer mist.  It's not super shiny - just enough to lift it up a little and I really like how it brings the colour in the flower out.      

I used digital paper from the "I Like Love You" collection from Design by Dani which I bought from Jessica Sprague.  I also used some of the digital elements in the collection as embellishments - just a quick print and cut on my Cameo and there it was - perfectly coordinated embellishments.  I did the same with the sentiment (which I love) and finished it off with a decorative pin and some bling in the flower center.

Isn't it super cute?

You're My Cup of Tea!

I finally got around to making one of these tea cups from SVGCuts. Isn't it just too cute? 

The file is from the Tea for You and Me SVGCuts kit and the paper is from the Sunday Afternoon stack by DCVW.  I also cut out a little tag and used my Amy Chomas Pen holder in my Cameo to write the sentiment. I love this feature - especially when you don't have a stamp that says exactly what you need...

I wanted to mix things up a bit so decided not to use paper for the roses.  Instead, I made them using polymer clay.  Once they were dry, I painted them with acrylic paint and then added some perfect pearls to give it a bit of a distressed shimmer.  

I did the same with the green leaves and am really pleased with how it all turned out. It was fun mixing paper and clay for a change and I definitely think I'll be doing more of it in the future.  

Hope you liked my little cup... I certainly enjoyed the macaron in the picture:)

Blossom Box and Thank You Card

Today I am sharing a little box and matching card I made as a thank you gift for someone special... 

Can I just start by saying that I LOVE these papers!  it's from the DCWV Blue Citrus Stack, and it is just gorgeous!  The colours are so vibrant and I love that it has a combination of shiny and sparkly bits in the papers.  Best of all, it cuts like a dream in my Cameo!

 

Now for the other details... I used the Blossom Box file from the Gift Boxes SVG Kit and embellished it with some rolled roses and greenery from the Mothers Garden SVG kit.  The butterfly is from the High Skies SVG kit (without the vellum) and the navy pearls are from Kaisercraft. 

The card is also from the High Skies SVG kit but instead of the anchor, I added a label from the Mothers Garden SVG kit which I stamped and heat embossed.  Again, I just added some rolled roses and greenery to finish it off.

I'm really pleased with how this gift set turned out and can't wait to give it to the recipient. I'm sure they are going to love it!
