Indian Princess

Hi!  This is Evelyn from My Little Craft Blog, and it's my day to post here on Designs on Cloud 9.  My card was made using a couple of sets: a retired set called Pretty Princesses 3, A2 Shape Cards, and Hello Sweet Summer for the clouds and grass.  I just love this little Pocahantas girl!

I wanted to show her in a natural setting on the plains somewhere out West.  The wind is blowing her hair and the clouds, and the scalloped shape of the card seems to fit along with the theme.  It has movement.

Thanks for visiting, and happy crafting!!

Watch Your Toes

For my project, I had a lot of fun with the Beach Crabs cutting file. This is such a fun set for summertime projects with these three goofy crabs. 

I decided to use the Beach Crab with the sunglasses. I think he's a little mischievous, and he wants to nip your toes. I used a soft yellow dotted patterned paper to get you in a beachy mood, and I smeared glitter glue all along the bottom of his crab legs and into the sides of the paper to further the feeling of sand. Since this guy is is just so goofy, I gave him some goggly eyes. This cutting file was a dream to size and cut. He was perfect for a summertime theme. 

Welcome to the Neighborhood

Hello Everyone!  Happy Friday!  Today is my birthday so I am off to the DMV to renew my plates and then I'm taking my kids to Universal.  It'll be a very busy day, indeed.

So today's card is a rather simple one and oh so adorable!!  I love this cut file.  I am featuring Birdhouse Card and the only tricky part about this card is the paper choices.  You can do so much with this just by changing up the paper!  It cuts in minutes, it goes together in minutes.

Not pictured here, but I did add a sentiment inside that says Welcome to the Neighborhood.  I think this is perfect when you have a new neighbor - add it with a plate of homemade chocolate chip cookies - I know I would feel welcomed.

I hope you have a great day and are inspired to try one of these super easy cut files.

Something New

Hi friends! Can you believe that it is time for the kiddos to go back to school already? It seems like just yesterday when the weather was starting to warm and summer was here. While we still have some hat days ahead, especially here in the South, Fall is just around the corner.

Here is the new file for the week, just in time for some school days memories...

Have a crafty day! -Michelle

Enjoying The Summer

Paper crafting is a fun, easy and cheap way to decorate. I like to make little accent pieces for a window sill, a shelf or a corner table. I thought a pop up box card would make a cute little piece too. Although my little box can still be folded it has little pieces that stick out, so mailing it is not so practical. However it does make it super easy to pack away at the end of summer and to store safely until next year!

I used bits and pieces from Surf Shack

and Beach Wear

I know it will make me smile all over again when I unpack it next summer!

Good Afternoon All!
I wanted to share with you a vertical border I made using the Apple of my Eye
cutting file from Designs on Cloud 9. I'm looking forward to fall and the cooler weather.
Each fall my daughter and I go to Apple Hill here in the foothills. We buy boxes of apples. We can some and others we make some delicious goodies with!  This was the inspiration for this cute border.

 

You can find the pattern for this  Here

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. 

Thank you for stopping by today.
