Halloween decor

Ok so before I start with my project I wanted to quickly talk about what I spent all morning doing. I spent all morning putting "wallpaper" in my daughters calico critters house. Yesterday she got a house for like little animals and you can go on there website and download the printable wallpaper. So I did that and got to cutting and putting atg tape on each piece. I admit it does look super cute but it is a lot of work basically for nothing since my daughter is 2 and a half so she really doesn't care if it looks cute or not. But oh we'll it was worth spending the time with her watching it all come together. Ok so enough about that on to my project.

I have been working on a lot of Halloween decor for my house. I am trying to make as much stuff as I can without buying too much. So I decided to make the apothecary jars from the toil and trouble SVG Cuts file. I made the tall and the short one.




For the tall one I used some glittery halloweeny paper with some paper metallic like paper super cute



For the short one I used some Halloween vellum like paper it doesn't look see through in pic but it is. I didn't want to put too much on the outside of this one since I wanted to show off the paper most of all.

I am planning on making a couple more projects for my Halloween decor so be on the look out for those.

1st Halloween card of the year

So can I just say that I have been so swamped at work that its ridiculous. I'm so exhausted and not had a break to relax(craft) in a good bit. I did realize that I forgot to post my Halloween card. I used SVG cuts Fall Harvest kit for my card base and trees. As for the decorations I used a little bit from a couple of different kits. So enough describing lets get to the pics.


The cute pumpkin, the fence and the black cat are all from SVG cuts midnight jamboree kit



The cute spider hanging from the tree is from SVG cuts party on elm street kit I am unsure where I got the witches pot and potion bottle from.



The bats in the tree and the banner in the tree are also from SVG cuts party on elm street kit. The pumpkins are from the midnight jamboree kit and the graves with ghosts I think are from a Lettering Delights but I could be wrong. Sorry I cannot remember where exactly I got them from.

Well I'm off to bed now and hopefully I can wake up bright and refreshed. Remember I love to hear your thoughts on all of my projects so please let me know what your thoughts are.

Cherry blossom tree card

I love the free Kyoto Kuties file from lettering delights. I prob have used this file over a hundred times. Its so super cute. I also used the fall tree card file from SVG cuts Fall Harvest kit for the base of my card.



This card was really hard to photograph because it's just so big and awkward to me.


Here is the second flap of my card I used the tree from the original file but I used the cherry blossoms from the free SVG cuts files.



Here is the final flap which is my fav one. This is the tree from lettering delights free file. I modified the tree to make it fit on the card. I also adding a little hummingbird at the top.

Well that's all for today I hope that you enjoyed my card as much as I enjoyed making it. I don't think I will be giving this one away to just anybody. I have to make sure its a special person. ;)

Fall

I made it! We got through the worst of the hurricane today so I was able to craft some. What else was I going to do cannot go out anywhere. So I got to crafting hoping that our power would not go out in the middle of one of my projects. I worked on a couple of projects since I will be flying out of the country on Saturday for work. I figured I would make enough to Be able to post while I am gone.
For today's post I couldn't decide what I wanted to show first so I figured I would show a fall project to you all
I used the Fall Harvest file from SVG cuts for both of my projects. I figured I would start off slow and not complicated at all just in case the power went out. So I stuck to the original file and started cutting.




I love the way the papers match the theme. I plan on displaying these in my living room during the fall. They are super cute files. You gotta love SVG Cuts.




I wood embossed the basket to give it a more real look but the only problem is that it makes the paper really weak so be careful when you do this.




I tried to use some of the same papers for my Indian Corn since I plan on displaying them in my house I didn't want a whole variety of colors.
Hope you likey. Come back to check out more of my projects soon.

Update

I am so sorry that I have not been able to post things like I would have liked to do, I just have been super busy at work with an audit that when I get home all I want to do is rest. My plans were to start posting again this week, well guess what? Hurricane Issac messed up those plans. Instead of relaxing and crafting I'm watching the news for the updates of the hurricane. I leave right outside of new Orleans and the way things are going it is suppose to hit sometime this afternoon. I will try to post updates if we do not lose power.

Gable Gift Boxes

Ok so I believe this is the last project for the Mario party that I used an SVG Cuts file for.  So sad I know. Without them though I wouldn't have been able to do all the projects I wanted to do. So thanks so much SVG Cuts.  Ok back to my project. I LOVE these, they came out amazing I think.  I saw some online to purchase( this is where the idea came from) so I remembered that SVG Cuts released Classic Gift Boxes kit with a box similar to the one they were selling premade online.

So my brain started thinking hmm... how can I make one like that? So using the gable box from the kit I took it and shrank it down a bit and found some mario pictures and one thing lead to another until I got the final project below.

Side 1

Side 2

As far as sides 3 and 4 I did decorate them but only on 1 box. I decided that doing all 20 would be too much since I decided to create these the night before the party. I will show you how it was suppose to be, but they still turned out cute even though I wasn't able to put them on there.

So do you want to see them all together? I got a picture of some of them set up at the party.

Thats it for today, I will be back with pictures of the whole party set up. So look for that post soon.

Star boxes

I'm so sorry that I am just now posting these. I have been super busy with work and finishing up all the goodies for the super Mario party. I am almost done. The party is Sunday so I better be almost done. I have a couple more things to finish up, that I am hoping to finish tomorrow.

Back to my project though. So today I am going to show you all these adorable star shaped boxes I made as table decorations for the party. I got the file from SVG Cuts stars and stripes kit. I just altered the file a bit so that the ovals were cut out to make the eyes of my star.

I think these are so cute. I can't believe how much they look like the stars from super Mario. What do you think?

Here is a sneak peak at these cute stars in action at the birthday party.  Yeah thats right I said sneak peak. I plan on doing a post with all my projects all together in action at the birthday party but first I want to show each piece a post at a time. That way they each get there little bit of spotlight.

See my cute invite in the front we had a couple extras so we decided to use them as decorations.


Well I hope to be back tomorrow with more projects from the party. See you soon.
