Retro Payphone - SVGCuts Guest Design Team Project

Hi everyone,

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 SVGCuts blog again!

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...

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...

For those of you who are interested, here's a list of all of the SVGCuts kits and collections I used:

Gift Boxes SVG Kit

3D Letters SVG Kit

Call Me Later SVG Kit

Bicycle Built for Two SVG Collection

Clara's Christmas Eve SVG Kit

Maple Manor SVG Kit

Fall Harvest SVG Kit

Spirits of Christmas Past SVG Kit

See the "bling" on the roses?  I achieved this look with my new Wink of Stella Brush pen - I love how it just adds a little something to the roses.

I also used some glossy accents in various places to give it some more "bling" as well as dimension.

If you happen to get stuck on step 2 or 3 - here are a couple of screenshots of what I did. Hopefully it will make sense, but if not, please send me an e-mail.

I really hope that you've enjoyed my retro creation!  If you decide to make one yourself, please share it on Facebook - I would love to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by!

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!  

Thanks for stopping by!
