March Twilight Project 2

Image
                                 For this project I chose to use the Moments Captured cutfile, from Jenny Wren .  I must say .. I prefer the stitching to turning this into a shaker element. lol It was very frustrating and took so long cause i kept messing it up!  Which is so unlike me cause i turn everything into a shaker.   So I back this cutfile, after cutting it on Cougar White from Cutcardstock , with Acetate.  This is when i realize I'm out of my 1/8 inch foam tape.  So I grab my 1/4 in and start slicing it half, and it sticks to everything, its SUPER sticky and it kept tearing.  I manage to get to the whole outline finished, and i dumb in the sequins, and realize i forgot to do all the little inside borders  so they go everywhere..  so back to slicing foam tape and getting all inside borders.  finally got them all, put the sequins in, ma...

       Good morning everyone!  I have sharing this stinking cute bunny box from SVGCuts.com, using Cougar whitw - 110lb, pink Merrisparkle glitter from CutCardstock.  I pulled out some scraps for the belly and bow tie.  The feet are popped up wiht foam dots, and as soon as i can find carrot cake M&Ms i am filling it up lol  His head pops off, allowing for the bottom to be filled with just about anything, would make an adorable gift as well!   Spring is coming!  Lots of things can be added to this, flowers, sequins, nuvo, little paper peeps or chicks, bring out all the Spring time stuff !                                                          ...

CutCardstock Friday!

Image
   How adorable are these!  I bought this set 15+ years ago, thought it was a good time to bring them back. The set is from SVGCuts.com the cardstock from CutCardstock - Crystal, Rose Quartz, Peach, Gold, lime, fairway, and cougar white.  The patterned paper is Love Always from Cocoa Vanilla Studio.           I didnt embellish them too much, i addede some inked edging, some glittler drops on the flowers and music notes, and some jewel drops on their beaks. The only things i might even still go back and add are some sequins, no project is complete without some sparkle.  Thank you for stopping by!                                                                                       H...

March Twilight Project 1

Image
         For this project i chose to use the Hexagon Stitching file and the Together Cutfile from Jenny Wren . All cut on Cougar White cardstock from CutCardstock . Not including the stitching, this came together rather easily and quickly.  The stitching took about 6 hours to complete, which, when stitching, isn't that long.  I used both the back stitch and the chain stitch, using 7 colors.   Adding  an older glittered thicker to add onto the title, allowing the adorable bees to be made and used.  Using some paper flowers from Michael's, to create little clusters with the bees and adding Metallic nuvo drops as well as some sequins for some sparkle. Last thing I did for this page was add some drawn on details to the cutfile itself so it would stand out a bit more with all the white on this.                                    ...

Cutcardstock Friday

Image
 Spring is coming!  I do love winter, one of my 2 favorite seasons!  But Spring is coming up quick so im switching gears and created a lovely green box card, with shamrocks, and pretty white flowers.  Yes this can be used as a St Pattys Day card, but I wouldn't be me if i didn't change it to a pretty spring card.           The card itself is from a spring box card set from SVGCuts.com .. the rest of that set will make its way here lol .. I didnt do alot to this, i loved the simple look of it, with all the greed and white, with the gold accents, using a simple "oh, happy day" stamp for the sentiment.  I used all the cardstock from CutCardstock, Caramel Apple, Lime,  Chartreuse, linen pearl gold, hot fudge and Bronze.       I had thought about adding some rhinstones, or sequins, maybe some nuvo, but i loved this so much just as it is... someimes less is more. :)  Thank you so much for stopping by!   ...

March A Cut Above Challenge

Image
  Good Morning!  I know its March and I should be starting Spring things, but we still have snow so i'm sticking with it one more time.  These photos of deer up from my house had to be scrapbooked and shared.  I used Bronze Metallic Cardstock to and snowflake dies, with a mixed media background on VB Mixed Media paper, a snowflake wreath from Jenny Wren, using Vista Metallic Cardstock, and a border punch.         I added in some sequins, Nuvo Drops and glittered thickers to finish off this layout.  Im going to miss Winter, I am one of the very few that loves winter and snow.  Its so beautiful when everything is so white.     Hope you enjoy this layout as much as I did creating it.  Thank you for stopping by!  And thank you for joining A Cut Above Challenge this month!                                 ...

February Layouts!

Image
    Not to many layout this month outside of my DT projects, but i did manage to get a few done..        This one took quite a long time.. 18 hours to stitch all those hearts!  I used 4 shades of purple and white thread and the chain stitch, which is why it took so very long.  SO worth it though, it turned out beautiful, and you know me, purple is my least favorite color.  But I do love how this turned out.  I kept the embellishments is tight clusters and to a minimum, i wanted those hearts to stand out!  I added some flair, paper flowers, a few butterflies, a shaker, and sequins..       This was fairly simple.  I used the notebook cutfile and the title are from Jenny Wren, Made a frame from rose quartz metallic cardstock, and a Tracey Reed Collection.  Added some snowflake, paper flowers, a few layers of patterned paper and Nuco Drops.  Miss Shirley covered in snow turned out perfect. ...
