Concrete truck

I usually don't do many boy themed things since I have a 2year old daughter but today I decided to work on a boy themed project. I was inspired to create this from Thienly from Mod Paperie. She created a dump truck that was super cute which made me think what else could i create from this truck. So without further ado I present to you my creation.




I had been thinking about this since I saw the truck file Ryan's play date on SVG Cuts website. So I thought what else could I do with this file and I remembered about the egg container SVG cuts had released on the Popular Streets Tulips file and the idea came to me, why not create a concrete truck. So I did.




I kept the truck sizes the same but the egg file I shrunk it down to a smaller size so it would fit on the truck. I closed off the back of the truck first and then I attached the concrete container. I used a wooden stick that went from inside the egg through the top of it and to the back window. I used a glue dot to attach it to the back window.
I really hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

Teapot

Ok so my mom asked me to make her a Birthday card related to tea. When she told me this I went blank. I couldn't think of anything. Then I started thinking and remembered that Lettering Delights had come out with a 3d teapot set. But how was I going to incorporate a card in there? Then it hit me,I remember seeing a pop up slider card so I took the pop up portion of that and incorporated into my teapot




Here it is closed up and looking cute




Here it is with the pop up slider attached to the teapot lid. So when you pull up the lid the little card pulls up with it.




Finally here is the card outside of the pop up slider pocket. For the tiny card I used Make the Cut to type up the saying and insert the tea cup then I just printed it. Then I cut another teacup out and pop dotted it on top of the printed teacup.
My mom really loved it and even asked me to make her one out of blue and white paper though. So I guess I will be making another but with the 3D teacup to match.

Cupcake stand

Good evening
I hope everyone is having a great day. For my project today I was inspired by a cute hello kitty cupcake stand thingy ( I don't know what it's called so I just named it thingy) the inspiration came from the following picture:




The pic on the left. I think they are like a cute table with a cover. Whatever it is, it inspired me.




I used an SVG Cuts file Happy Birthday to You to create this project. I just altered it a bit and used a stick which I covered with paper and hot glued it to the top and bottom to make sure it stays standing up. I also used a free 3D bow file from SVG Cuts also for the hello kitty look a like bow on top of the cupcake. I used different color stickles to decorate the top to make it look like sprinkles. I left the bottom hollow so you could put some treats inside and give as a gift to someone( I don't think I will be giving this away I like it to much).

Cookies anyone

Did I ever mention that I do not like weeding through my cuts. I am not a very patient person when it comes to weeding a cut with tiny cuts. My mat that I used is not all that sticky anymore and the file that I used was not that great. I'm unsure of where I even got it from. I have been having a paper with chocolate chips on it for a while now not knowing what exactly I wanted to do with it. Well I thought why not use it with cookie monster since he loves chocolate cookies. So I did just that.



I just used a pre made white card for the base and then cut that chocolate chip paper for the background then I took my circle punch and punched out that circle and stamped it with a My Thought Exactly stamp from there Sweet Thoughts stamps and stamped it on that circle.



For the inside I just typed up what I wanted it to say and printed it on white card stock.

Beach bum

I'm back! I'm sorry that I have been gone longer then expected I had a lot of catching up to do when I got back from my mini vacay. Any who I got a beach themed 12x12 layout to show you all today. I plan on putting pictures of my daughter playing at the beach in these.




Well where do I start. Lol;) I could not begin to explain all the sizes that I cut to create this since I started it before my vacation. I did use Lettering Delights for my cuts. I used the following files: Soak up the sun for the bathing suit,swimming trunks,sand castle,bucket,umbrella,tote,sunglasses,sun,beach ball,and flip flops, Something Fishy for the crab,sea shell, star fish and clam, Slumber Party for the sunscreen bottle, Dress up Paper Dolls for the little girl.As far as the palm tree and beach chair I am not sure where I got these files from. for the words Beach bum I just typed them up in Make the Cut and print and cut the file.




I also used some twine, stickles,dimensionals, and the cuttlebug for the sand. For the cute little girl I used Peachy Keen Wide eyed kids stamp for her face and the face on the sun.




I really hope you enjoy my layout and if any one has any questions about feel free to message me.

Spring flowers

When I first thought about my flower project I was actually thinking about it as a gift to give my grandmother for Easter. Well...when I started working away at it and finishing it up I really really liked so I decided to not give it to her. I know I know you are probably thinking that's mean, well my grandmother got real ones inside. She enjoys those better. Back to my project, well I started cutting out a bunch of flowers from the 3d flowers file from SVG Cuts using my Silhouette Cameo machine and my Cricut Imagine for some flowers using the Flower Shoppe cartridge. I figured this would speed up the cutting process. Well it did but then I got confused with what went with what and ended up spending more time trying to figure it all out. So not so great of an idea. All I know is I ended up with more pieces then I needed and I left some flowers out since they were not complete. Lol:)



I do know that I cut the bushel basket using an SVG cuts file called Caramel Apple Pie. Once I worked out everything the best way I could I was able to put a cute project together I believe. I couldn't tell you want paper I used or what all I used since I was so stressed out trying to figure out all of the pieces but it's ok the project was worth it.



I used a Martha Stewart punch for the butterfly's along with Martha Stewart glitter.
