Laugh and Smile Flower Gift Bag

Hi everyone!

I'm excited to finally share this cute little flower gift bag I made from the New "Celebrations" 3D SVG Kit and Printables by Fleurette Bloom.

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 the Fiesta paper stack by DCWV and just love all the bright colours.  

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 new kit from Fleurette!

Upside Down Miniature Cake Box - SVGCuts Guest Post!

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!!!

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:)

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 here on the SVGCuts blog.

For the stand, I used the pedestal file from the Happy Birthday to You SVG kit.  The round box files that form the cake is from the Poplar Street Tulips SVG kit. I sized them down quite a bit so that the cake would fit on the stand.   

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.  I then decorated it with ribbon and roses from the Crush on You Boxes SVG kit.

As the cake is made up out of three separate boxes, each can be used to store small items such as jewelry.

The card file is from the Breezy Backyard Lever Cards SVG kit however, I decided to embellish it with some leftover roses I made for the cake, along with a few cut-outs from the DCWV Sunday Afternoon paper stack I used for the rest of the project.  

I'm really pleased with how this project turned out.  If you would like more details, please stop by the SVGCuts blog and remember to share photo's if you decide to make one yourself.

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!
