SVG Cutting Files :: Work it Girl!

Hi Everyone! This is my third week as SVG Cutting Files Guest Designer.  This is the file that I got to play with this week.  I think she is super! My walking buddy gave me some pink weights to carry so I knew this sweet girl must have a pink set too. I thought she would be fun image to decorate a note pad.  A great spot to keep track of all things for a healthy life...

Be sure to check out the SVG Cutting files store on Friday to see this cutie in the shop. (oh she might have some friends.. but you did not hear that from me!)

Supplies-
Note Book. Avery, Martha Stewart Home Office
Ribbon- Bazzill
Face Stamp- Peachy Keen Stamps, PK-640
Cut File- SVG Cutting Files

Blog Hop:: Ooh La La

Good morning! Welcome to day two of Stamp Annie*Thing stamp reveal.  If you missed day one, you can hop to the start HERE.  If you arrived from Barb's blog you are in the correct hopping order. If not you might want to head to the start so you won't miss a thing.

Today the we are making projects with the new Ooh La La stamp set that will be available for purchase Friday after 4 pm EST at the Stamp Annie*Thing Shop.  Here is my card-

The Scallop Card Base is from SVG Cutting Files and the girl image is stamped on paper cut with a Spellbinder's die. Her dress is paper pieced. A perfect card to wish "good day" to a special friend.  My gal loves this image too and has requested a door sign for her room. (I think that would be a cute project.. so look for that on my blog soon.)

Here is this gorgeous stamp set! Be sure to leave comments on all the blogs today for your chance to

This Bud is for YOU Dad!

Stamp Annie*Thing Blog Hop HERE

Cheers it is Friday! Time for another Peachy Keen Challenge! Create a card with the theme of Father or Grandfather.  Be sure to link at the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog by June 19, 11:59 EST.  Here is my shaped card from my "#1 Dad" who is known to enjoy a beer or two.
Sentiment PKSC-05


To add this "tipsy" Peachy Keen Face PK-471, a circle was punched out of the "foam". This beer mug card cutting file can be found at SVG Cutting Files, HERE.  I added another base part the the beer mug shape so the card could stand up on its own. (My dad likes to line up the cards in the family room at his house... mine is ALWAYS first.  I am just his favorite kid!)

Enjoy the Challenge! I can't wait to see your cards-

Blog Hop :: Party in the USA

Good Morning! Welcome to the reveal day blog hop for Stamp Annie*Thing Stamps. If you just came from the talented  Barb then you are in the right place. Today's stamp set is called Party in the USA.  I have two projects to share made with Party in the USA. The first is a star shaped favor box.  The box is a file from SVG Cutting Files, Mini Star Box.  The beautiful girl stamp "Rose" is colored with Copic markers. She is so adorable, my girls and I will be making some more of these for 4th of July favors. 


For my next project, I  used some basics shape cuts on my silhouette and decorated a 5 by 5 card with stamps from the Party in the USA set. This high quality polymer stamp set will be available for purchase Friday at the Stamp Annie*Thing Shop.  Free shipping for the Continental US too!

Be sure to leave comments and follow the blogs along the hop today to be entered into a drawing to WIN this sweet stamp set!

Rah! Rah!

Hello! Here is another project that I made as SVG Cutting Files' Guest Designer. The main cut is "Jessica the Cheerleader" and she will be available for purchase this Friday.  I love to add accents to my die cuts and gave Jessica some shoe laces with crotchet thread. I added a sentiment from a chipboard sticker set that has a lot of darling cheerleader phrases and accessories.   I could make a whole cheer squad of cards now, ha ha.  The file for the card is called Trapezoid Card Base and I used my cutting software to add a shadow to the card insert.  This cheerleader is would brighten anyone's day.  Her face is from one of the NEW Peachy Keen Faces for June, PK-1300 Sweet and Innocent Face Assortment.

Supplies:
Papers- DCWV The Great Vacation Stack
Card stock- Coredinations
Boarder Punch- Jenni Bowlin, Ticket Please
Chipboard Sticker- Recollections
Stamps- Peachy Keen, PK-1300

See you next Sunday with another project for SVG Cutting Files-

Happy Friday! I am sharing my first project for Stamp Annie*Thing today! The owner Annie Kelly is a lovely person and I am so happy to join her team of designers. These are 3 x 3 cards that where made with a SVG Cutting File, Bracket Card Base but you could easily cut simple square cards by hand.  The images are colored with Copic markers.  Accents on the twine bows are stamped  and then punched with a 1/2 inch punch.  I like to layer several punched pieces to make a custom "button".

Twine- The Twinery, Blossom and Caribbean
Cuttlebug Folder- Polka Dots
Tim Holtz Distress Ink- Wild Honey, Spun Sugar

Peachy Keen also has TWO challenges at the Peachy Keen Connection. The first challenge is a 1-2-3 Challenge, 1 stamped image, 2 patterned paper, and 3 embellishments. I found this adorable girl at the silhouette store, ID #43037. Her face is from a new set, PK-1320 In the Garden Face Assortment.

The second challenge is to use a sun on your project. I colored the Hula Girl, PK-1254 Rock a Hula, with Copic markers and added a "sun charm".  I used a small spellbinders die to frame the "rock a hula" sentiment that is included with the Hula Girl.
