Love to Scrap Challenge Blog #143: Flower Box

 Hello crafty friends :o)  Here today with my post for Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog, this month Anything Goes.  Make sure you also visit the sister blogs for extra inspiration.  

Here is a cute box from Simply Crafty SVGs, called Tulip Candy Box.  It's a free file, if you are a little tight on cash after buying an expensive gift to go inside :oP    I did take color pencils to the cutouts to add extra color and some sponging on the edges.  

The "for you" is a stamp from SU.  A little more color from the design paper used on the sides.

thanks for looking and reading :o)

Happy Fall Pumpkin

 Hello crafty friends :o)   I'm here today with my Simply Crafty post.  

Who doesn't love Fall; the smell, the colors, apple cider, and lots of pumpkins.  

Here is a cute pumpkin double fold card from Simply Crafty.  I use my color pencils and add a little detail to the leaf and stem.  Paper always makes the project too... look for that pretty paper you have in your stash.

Here is the card open and ready for any message.

As you can see the card is held together to keep close, by a wrap.  The sentiment is from a stamp set from Unity Stamps.

Love to Craft Challenge Blog #50: Little Latte

 Hello Crafty Friends :o)   Here's my post for Love to Craft Challenge Blog, where every month is Anything Goes.   We just want to see what you are crafting up.

This is a cute little gift box from Simply Crafty SVGs and it's FREE: Chocolate Square Box.  My youngest son loves the little square chocolate that fits in these boxes ... they were all gone before photo shoot.  They just disappeared.  

The heart and Latte are chipboard from Cas-ual Fridays.  I painted with gesso as a primer, inked with embossing ink and used Stampendous embossing powder.  The powder had white, pink and gold in it, which seemed fitting for the background paper.

Love to Scrap Challenge Blog #137: Coffee Cup of Love

 Hello crafty friends :o)   Running a little late on my posts.   This is my post for Love to Scrap Challenge Blog, this month: Anything Goes.

I colored this cute image from Saturated Canary months ago, but was unsure how to finish it.  Then, I saw this coffee cup SVG file from Simply Crafty, I knew what I had to do.

I tried to make the cup as girlie as possible.  Pearls around the top, some decorative papers.

A flower, some twine and don't forget the crown .

A few K-cups will fit inside and even some tea bags if you wanted to.  This can be a great gift for a friend.

Teacher Gift

Hello crafty friends :o)   I'm here today with my Simply Crafty SVGs post.  It's hard to believe with this crazy world we live in, that schools are thinking about starting back up again.  For many parents it's a sign of relief, that their growing minds will keep growing with needed information.

What's a better way to welcoming back school, then sending the teacher's a gift at the beginning of the school year.  Fill with goodies, items that might be needed; chocolate, mints and aspirin are always great gifts :o)

This id the 3D Pencil Box from Simply Crafty SVGs.  I did some sponging with ink for some depth to the box.

No eraser every used is perfectly clean, smudge marks had to be added.   I had this cute ribbon sitting around that was perfect addition.

Love to Craft Challenge Blog #49: It's in the Box

Hello crafty friends :o)   New month and new challenges to enter.

This is my project for Love to Craft Challenge Blog, where every month is Anything Goes.

Every year I make my wonderful Chiropractor a birthday card.  Every year, he lets me know he can't wait to see this year's card .... that's a lot of pressure.   Knowing he was taking his family to the beach for some down time and how much he loves candy, I made him a gift box this year.  I used the free Polkadoodles bundle called Winnie Heroes.   I just used the upper half of the image :o)

Used some die cut sentiment for the back.

Such a cute box and it was a hit.

Love to Scrap Challenge Blog #136: Baseball Bench

Hello crafty friends :o)   It's hard to believe it's already August, being stuck in the house does not slow down time.   Lots of inspiration today with all the sister blogs starting new challenges.

This post is for Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog, this month, we want to see projects for the kids.

This is a 3-D card, it folds up nicely in a envelope to send it.   This is a SVG file Baseball Bench Box Card from Simply Crafty SVG.   I used real wood for the bench panels and distress ink on the wood.  To make the benches look a little more real, brads were used like bolts to connect the bench pieces together. 

I different view.

Birthday Paradise

Hello crafty friends :o)    I'm excited to share a new Design Team I have joined ... Simply Crafty SVGs

If you have been following me, you know I have this wonderful machine that I have been playing with and this design team allows me to play and learn my Brother Cut N Scan a little better.

I made this beach inspired birthday card for my dad's wife.   They love to vacation in tropical paradises and sitting on the beach with some cold drinks.  This SVG file is called Surfer's Paradise Card

Many of the pieces were sponged with inks, and/or colored with my Prismacolor pencils to give textured.  Also used some glitter and crystals for the sand and water.  A happy birthday stamp inked on one of the surf boards.

Because I like to write a little something, I made a back panel to write a birthday message.   It was sponged to match the front panel piece that is between the sun and water.

Dr Digi: Sorry Box

Hello crafty friends :o)   Today is my post for Dr Digi.

Sometimes we don't say sorry enough.  Maybe we are embarrassed that we made a mistake or don't think we need to.  It could mean the whole world to someone needing to hear these couple of words.  I used this image Sorry Stocks from Dr Digi.  The image is colored with my Prismacolor pencils.

 I decided to make this cute little fliptop gift box.  It's big enough to put lots of goodies or an item that says, "I'm Sorry"

The box is a SVG file from Simply Crafty SVG.
