Hey Foxy!

I'm so excited to share my project this week. I made a non-traditional Valentine's Day card for my husband. I found this great fox cut in the Foxy Fall cutting file and knew he was perfect. 

After assembling him, I added some white paint dots to bring him to life. I wanted my fox to look like he was in the woods, so I cut this textured paper background and embossed it with a bark folder. I thought the leaf would tie-in with the tree bark background. 

I'm looking forward to using more from this fantastic cutting file.

It's Boy Birthday!

It is always fun (and sometimes a bit of a challenge) to either buy or make a nice birthday card for a boy.
I hope I got it right with this one!

The truck is loaded with a -removable- number 6, just to make it a little bit interactive. I sure hope our young friend likes it!

The cut file is from Big Boy Toys

Cozy Mittens

Hello again!  This is Evelyn from My Little Craft Blog here to show you this adorable file called Cozy Mittens.

I made several of these cuties and used some of them on tiny mini-albums.

Aren't they adorable?  They use such tiny amounts of paper, you can use up some of your scraps and have little elements on hand to add to scrapbook pages and cards!  I just love them!  You'll see this file again next Monday!

March Calendar

Hello Crafters, DT Faith here for another inspiration project using Designs on Cloud 9 svg files. 

My project for this week is for the calendar project I am making for a friend. Last week, I showcased February. Today I am showcasing March. 

For each month, I include a small calendar, photo, and die cuts. For Mach, I used the Designs on Cloud 9, Lucky Bears file for the title, So Lucky. I added the felt circle with the sentiment for the holiday. Finally, I added a shamrock brad to finish it off. 

Valentine Quickie

Hello friends!  I apologize for being so late on my post today.  I've been a bit under the weather.

I do have a real quick project to share with you today, and I do mean quick!  A couple of passes in the cutting machine, adhere here and there and fill.  Done!

This is the heart pocket, which may be retired now.  But this would still be easily made with the nested hearts or decorative hearts cut files available.  This is a little pocket so all it needs is a little message inside and candy and you have a super easy gift!

Early Bird?

Well winter has been so mild here...and as a result quite wet and very overcast, grey and foggy that I thought a little spring bird might not be totally out of place!

The cut files are from Spring Birdhouses 

I added some punched leaves and flowers to the branch as well as punched music notes. Another option would be to use cut file music notes from the Fab Fifties set and I could have used flowers(and the branch) from the 'You're a Hoot' cut set too. As it is I used the branch from I Love Fall Owls

The front of the card is cut just a little bit shorter so that the stamped polka dot border peeks out.

And now to enjoy the last couple months of cold weather,before spring really comes!

Grandma's Brag Book

Hi!  Evelyn here from My Little Craft Blog here with my latest creation.  One of my co-workers became a grandma again in December.  She has a new baby granddaughter, so I made her a brag book.  I used a mini-album from Designs on Cloud 9 called the Travel Album, omitting some elements to fit my purpose.  For the label, I used the Happy Holidays Frame.   The papers are from Nana's Kids paper pack.

If this were a travel album that looked like a suitcase, the corners would be those metal reinforcements.  But here in pink, they almost remind me of flower petals.  Here are some of the inside pages:

She loved the album and really appreciated it.  She liked all the little pockets and flip outs.  I hated to tell her how easy it was to make!  I love how you can pick and choose which pages you want to include.  The file so versatile.  It could be used for any occasion!
