Welcome to our April Blog Hop!  

Box Card Cherry Carton (Silhouette, SVG)

This is a very easy and fun file! I followed the file except I loved those little side flaps on the cherry box sticking out so I chose not to glue them down. The sentiment is a print and cut included with the file.

My creations for today are inspired by the beautiful cherry orchards in full bloom in my hometown! We will have cherries everywhere in a few more months-the more blooms the more cherries! 

A2 Cherry Jam Card (Silhouette,SVG)

Another simple card to make and such a cute design. I used some Lori Whitlock A Slice of Summer  red gingham checked designer paper for the top piece.  The tag is a print a cut as well. 

You can find  these files at either the Silhouette Store or at the Lori Whitlock Shop.

House Mouse and Friend Monday Challenge #251-Halloween

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge

#251

 Hosted by my teamie Lorraine A aka Lols 

 Halloween 

You also have the alternate option of entering the challenge with an "ANYTHING GOES" project too!  Just be sure to use House-Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffies stamps, CD collection images and, or, any decoupage by House-Mouse Designs^(R)  on your projects!

You know how I love interactive creations...and my meecies love them too.  For my card today I used my all time favorite stamp: 

Pumpkin Mouse

I use this stamp every year at least once-so it is my most used stamp ever.

The card base is a cut file from the Silhouette Store -(I did enlarge the file so that  it used the complete 12x12 paper)

Shadow Box Card Scene-Halloween Ghost(lori whitlock)
and 
Layered Halloween Tag Kit-Spooky Tree

I chose not to use the print and cut elements included with the shadow box file, but instead made my own Spooky scene with the tag kit elements. The sentiment is from a retired Pink and Main set. If you look closely, in the background you may spot Monica Mouse goofing off on the next hill!

These shadow boxes are difficult photograph...my apologies!

Father's Day Projects

Just popping in to show you a couple Father's Day projects I made this year.  Not much crafting time these days, but the Dad's look forward to their specially made projects so I can not disappoint!

This is a big box-7.25 x 3 finished size and holds a lot of Dad's favorite candy! The lid pulls off to allow you to fill it with all the favorite goodies that Dad likes.  I really think this is a project that could be resized smaller and come out just as cute.

3D Fishing Tackle Box designed by Lori Whitlock

 I adore how this pops in to a cube when you pull it out of the sleeve!!! I can't wait to make another one of these-in fact I have one in process already.
 Note: I did add extra layers to all the matting  pieces, but that's just my thing :).

Hope you enjoyed my projects today!

Challenge  #230

Color Challenge:

Turquoise, Purple + 1 Neutral (white, black, kraft, brown, creme) 

Of course, you also have the "ANYTHING GOES" option too, so join the fun!  As long as you use a House-Mouse Designs^(R) House-Mouse Friends /Happy Hoppers, or, Gruffies image stamped/decoupage or CD rom.

I chose to go with the Anything Goes Option as I am sooo far behind with my Christmas cards...!!!

For my card today I used the cute little meecie stamp HMCV10 Cling Finishing Touch.
I paired this holiday image with The Story of Christmas  Echo Park 6x6 paper and a cut file named A2 front easel card, both designed by Lori Whitlock. I used a sentiment from the Silhouette Store named Cookies for Santa Phrase designed by Kollette Hall. I did a print and cut after adding the phrase on to the front panel. I used clear Wink of Stella on the bell for an added touch of glitter.  Pretty easy!

This folds flat for mailing.

Front panel folded open.  I added white panels inside so I could write a message.

A couple other paper choices.

Penny Black MidWay Nature Challenge-Surprise!

Penny Black  Saturday Challenge

Mid Way Reminder Post

Nature

For this fun card I used a favorite Penny Black stamp of mine...it always cracks me up when I use it!  This stamp is named Surprise(2890F) and I am not sure it is still available...you will have to google it I am afraid.  I used this same stamp way back when-you can see another card here.  

I used a rocking card cut file designed by Lori Whitlock from the Silhouette Store, a Lawn Fawn pierced circle die and a Paper Smooches sentiment from Good Gab. This fun heat embossed sentiment is a  perfect match don't you think? I also dug out some grass paper to add the perfect background to it all!

This will be a fun card to send for no reason at all-just to say Hello!

Penny BlackSaturday Challenge- Critter Party

Penny Black  Saturday Challenge

Your Favorite Technique

I hope your day is Super too! 

It is time for the August Penny Black Saturday Challenge. I do hope you will join in with a fun creation!

I am sure you all know that my favorite techniques are coloring and making 3D projects with my Silhouette. So here we go...

Today I used the clear stamp set  Critter Party and a fun birthday sentiment from Wet & Wild clear set. I also used the Cupcake box card cut file from the Silhouette Store.

The Critter Party stamp set has many little stamps included (I love that kitty with the present)...I colored up numerous images but only used a couple so things didn't look so cluttered. note: This box card folds flat for mailing.
