Creations by AR July Blog Hop




Welcome to Creations by AR July Blog Hop! 

This blog hop will feature the two new July release files-


and 


This first creation I made as a gifty to give to my crafty friend Linda. She came to visit during cherry harvest, but since I have to work every day, she bonded with my Silhouette machine instead. I am sure it won't be long before she is whipping up creations like these on her own machine! 

The top picture shows off the Folder Organizer all filled up with sets of Christmas cards and in the bottom picture I  took one of the folders out so that you can see what each folder looks like!
Each folder easily holds four A2 card sets-envelopes and all! Adela filled her folders up with embossing folders...I am going to make this file for my embossing folders too-what a cool idea!


Here you can see the banner file that is included in the Folder Organizer template. It was  jiffy to enlarge and use as a card topper. I stamped my friend's last name on the banner to personalize it a wee bit. I can tell you from experience that Adela's files are the easiest templates to use-especially if you tend to be a little techie challenged (not admittin' nothin' here). All of her files include a pictoral step-by-step pdf on how to put the file together, along with measurements if you need to size each piece! I so love that feature!



 I made two sets-of course each with a cherry theme-the perfect gift for co-workers during harvest. (yes, I parted with some of my beloved cherry paper)  I made two cards (size approximately 3 x3) with envelopes to put inside the bags. This template includes the envelope file as well! This bag takes about 5 minutes to make-if that! These would be perfect to make in quantity if you wanted to use it for party favors!  I used the Stackables file to stamp my sentiment on...gotta love those-you can make them any size-just right to fit any stamp!




I hope you can take a few minutes to hop along with us today. Although I am the last in line, you really should start with Adela's blog!:

The bag and card set made me smile. That could have been a personal order from a dear friend of mine! She loves the cherries and the little bit of blue background looks just like her blog! Great work, my friend! P.S. Hope Santa brings me a silhouette for Christmas! If not, I think I will need new scissors!!!
