One Cute Chick

Good morning my crafty friends.  Today I have a door decoration to share with you.  Many of you know that my daughter and her other half bought their 1st home back in November.  They are having so much fun decorating and now watching their yard to see what pops up.  I have to give them credit.  They are not pulling up everything.  So many young people, especially first time home owners, pull everything up in the landscape.  What they are doing is this.  Making a map of the sunlight in the yard and seeing just what comes up during each growing season.  Mom didn't suggest this.  So I am pretty pleased as punch they thought this up on their own.

One item that they don't have is decorations for each holiday.  With Easter coming up I thought I would make a door decoration.  It had to have plenty of sparkle.  I saw ScrappyDew's file called One Cute Chick and knew that was the one for their door.
 Here is the link http://shop.scrappydew.com/shop/item/99620

On this project I used DCWV Glitter stack.  This stuff cuts like butter.  The other glitter pieces are from American Crafts.  Since it's going on their front door, I needed to use the pop bottle trick again (i just love using this medium).  The door is protected by a storm door so I didn't have to worry about moisture.  Also, I remembered to sign and date the back.  Maybe years to come, they will put this up and remember mom making it.  So without further ado.....ONE CUTE CHICK!!!

I took all the stuff off my bulletin board and here it is!

This is so stinking cute.  My daughter sent me a photo of it on their front door.  I really like how this turned out.  

So for next week, there is a big announcement coming.  I will be posting during the week to tell you more about this fantastic happening!!!!  So stay tuned, and check back often.

That's it for this week.  Bright blessings and many hugs, Jana

Scrap Factory SVG Doll Builder Program

Scrap Factory paper piecing by Glenda Lea Slattery. She shared her doll on the ScrappyDewCreations FB page. The ice cream cone is a My Creative Time Die. 

This program is so versatile, you can change anything to suit your needs. Just like Glenda did here with the hair. She created her doll with just one ponytail off to the side. This is what the hair looks like with ponytails on either side.

Spring Easter Train

Well spring is in the air and what a better chance to use some of Scrappy Dew's Easter designs. I decided I needed more Easter decor for my house so this Spring Easter Train was the perfect project for me. I made this project using my Cricut Explore. I love using the Cricut Explore for Scrappy Dew projects. Why? Because when I import their files into Design Space the SVG is imported in color, and this is where Design Space does its magic. I sized this file at 12.5 long while keeping the ratio locked. I synched a few of my colors to minimize the amount of mats/cuts I needed to use. Then I hit GO! Design Space and Cricut Explore does the rest! It is simply a huge time saver!!

Here is The Easter File That I Used At Scrappy Dew:

Nautical Theme Card in a Box

For this weeks project I made a card for my friend who just had a baby over the weekend. The baby's nursery is decorated in a nautical theme so I used the ScrappyDew Sailor Bears pattern file and the card from DT Ken's Blog. For more pics www.facebook.com/LissaLeigheDesigns

Ballerina Canvas

Here is a project that I have been working on for sometime. I used the Ballerina - 2013 pattern set. I first decorated the canvas and then adhered the ballerina to it.

Card in a Box - Birthday!

Today I have a very special 1st birthday card to share.  I have had the privilege of seeing this little guy grow so big in just a year.  He is just about to walk and get into everything.  I wanted to make a very special card that his mom could put in his baby book.  Over on ScrappyDews FB page, Ken of Kens Kreations graciously shared a card in a box pattern.  (Michelle has also converted this pattern to MTC.  You can LIKE the page and grab it here  https://www.facebook.com/ScrappyDewCreations, you have to scroll and look at all the amazing projects though....) I knew I just had to try my hand at this type of a card. 

I am going to give you the lyrics first (because I used a bunch of ScrappyDew files)  So here we go:

http://shop.scrappydew.com/shop/item/86985  Bear Clowns 2013

http://www.dash12.com/scrapfactory/ I made the hair for the baby boy with this program

I used Recollections paper through out this project.

So let's get this party started!!!

****ONE IMPORTANT NOTE, I DID NOT USE ANY GLITTER ON THIS PROJECT.  LITTLE ONE MIGHT GET A HOLD OF IT AND GLITTER ISN'T GOOD FOR KIDS OR PETS****

I cut the card out of a shiny blue 12 x 12 sheet.  Gotta have blue for a boy's card.  Just to let you know I didn't put the card together UNTIL I had all the elements made and I dry fitted everything together.  I had scaled all the elements to fit on each side of the box and then cut and glued them together.  I wanted balloons staggered in back of the little boy.  I also wanted them to move a bit.  Ah, a clear acetate sheet would work.  So I took myself to Staples.  Staples wanted over $60 for 50 sheets of acetate.  Needless to say I did NOT buy this.  But what to use.  Here is my solution.

I am using a clear 2 liter pop bottle

Cut both ends off, and cut down the length of the bottle.

Rolled and flattened the plastic sheet and cut 1/2 inch strips

Using doubled sided tape, I attached these to the inside frame 

 

I attached my pretty paper.  You can see the plastic strips and
they do wave back and forth.  Just what I wanted and cost me
a plastic bottle deposit.

So here is the completed card.  I sure hope that the parents like it!

I hope that you get some inspiration to try this yourself.   It is a fun project and I hope to make more.

For next weeks design team project, I am making an Easter Door Decoration for my girls.  I promise you lots of sparkle and glitter!

Bright Blessings for the coming week, Jana

Ragdoll Pencil Box!

Hello Friends!!!!

This has been a pretty busy week, but always I take a little time to work with ScrappyDew´s files.

Today I altered a pencil box. 

I used different pattern papers to embellish the box, then I applied a coat of "extra glitter" ModPodge to protect the papers and to add a touch of shimmer to it.

Then I chose one of the beautiful ragdolls that we have on the ScrappyDew Ragdolls cutting file, to add the perfect final touch to this project

Hope you like it!!

Superhero Headquarters Frame

Hey Everyone! Ken here with another Ken's Kreation! So I have been blessed now for many weeks to be working with an amazing group of people over at ScrappyDew. The more I work with these files, the more I fall in love with them. They are so simple to import into Design Space and Silhouette Studio and simple to put together. For this project I used my Cricut Explore, and one of the great things that I love about Design Space is the fact that the software in Design Space does all of your mats for you. It made this project 10 times easier since all I had to do was put all the charters on the screen, size them and then hit go. ... Design Space and my Cricut explore did the rest!

For this project I wanted to make a sign for a little guy I knew. He has a new playroom and of course we needed to make sure everyone knew this space was "his". So him and his dad are really into superhero's so the Super Palz 2 Set was the perfect file for me. If you have not seen this amazing set take a look at this photo to see everything you get:

You can purchase this file for 7.50!! ScrappyDew has a sale going on right now, once you spend $30 you get 70% off your total order!! Buy this file here:

Now onto my project. You know how much I like making room frames, so here is another one for my favorite little guy's playroom:

Here is a close up of all of the characters:

Alice in Wonderland!

I created a new layout to go into my Scrapbook album. I used the Alice in Wonderland file from ScrappyDew Creations to create this. I absolutely love this file! It's so easy to work with and it's so adorable! The title was created using a font from dafont.com and the lace border is from the silhouette store.

It's a Magical Day!

I have a very dear friend that is having a birthday in a few weeks.  She  just happens to love dragons.  And wouldn't you know it, ScrappyDew has a file that has the most adorable dragon.  So of course I just had to make it for her.  The pattern is called Scrappy Beauty.  Here is the link http://shop.scrappydew.com/shop/item/53892  I wanted my dragon to be pretty special.  I had bought some beautiful silver paper at Joanns that was embossed with a scale pattern a while back.  (yes, it was on clearance)  So I grabbed it and I also used some green ColorBok that is shiny foil paper.  I must say, working with this paper was a PAIN.  (this to i got on clearance at walmart)  The paper is actually green with a green shiny mylar covering.  The danged paper separated after being cut by my Zenith Zing.  I got 2 10 sheet pads.  It's not going to be used up very fast.  

My little dragon is so cute.  But it just needed that special touch, a little something extra.  I searched through ScrappyDew's site and my eye landed on the Tulips in the Hoppy Easter file located in the Vault.  You can find it under previous freebies.  Made the tulips and made an extra hand for the dragon.  Slapped the tulips on the dragon and stuck an extra hand over it.  My dragon now has a bouquet of beautiful spring tulips.  

Isn't this just the cutest lil dragon?  Now on to the inside.  I collect Graphic 45 paper.  I had some with faeries on it and carefully cut a couple out.  The tag is from the $1 bins at Target.  (i would have never even looked at this area if not for being very frugal)  So let's open the card and take a look...

TA-DA!!!!  With all the components put together, this came together nicely.  All the cards I make are 6" X 6".  The envelope is made from a single sheet of 12" X 12" solid color.  If you would like directions on how to make the envelope, just let me know.

That's is for this Saturday.  So happy that you could spend a few moments with me again this week.  Next week, to tell you the truth, I haven't got the foggiest idea what I will be making.  So you will just have to come back and see what I come up with.  Take care my friend!

Bright blessings, Jana

Print N Cut Gift Set

This week I`m testing the print and cut feature with ScrappyDew`s files.

Print and cut is a very useful tool when you have to work in bulk, like when your are making the invites, favor boxes and cupcake wrappers of a child`s party.

So, I used SOPHIA ScrappyDew`s file with high quality graphics 

I loooove how it works, just looks amazing. 

I used Silhouette Studio features to fill the blank invite, box and cupcake wrappers with the patterns I want. Also used the gradient feature to add an special effect to all the fonts I used.

Hope you like it.

You can find Sophia`s cutting file
