Silhouette Challenges-Anything Goes

Challenge #38 "Anything Goes"

Starts: June 1

Ends: June 30

Welcome!  Summer is a busy time for me...Graduations, Weddings, and Cherry Harvest!

Because I work 7 days a week for several months during the summer--- my crafting time is limited to short and sweet projects! I am sure you can  all appreciate that! Today's projects look pretty elegant and they literally took minutes each to make.  Please see all the links to the files below.

Love this pretty wedding dress file. I added different sized pearls to all the flowers.

Where have I been??? Making wedding projects

I am still here...just coming off a very long cherry harvest and trying to recharge my batteries!!!

Although there is not much stamping going on...I am making fun projects for my nephew's wedding coming up this Saturday.  I got this jar print and cut from the Silhouette Store and added the text before cutting out like a gazillion of them for fans. It is HOT in my neck of the woods!

The canvas flowers were cut from a DCWV 6x6 Burlap Paper Stack, glued on misc buttons and small sisal rope for finishing touches. The fans are two sided with a personal message from the bride and groom on the other side.The handle is glued in the middle of two jar cut outs. The Mother of the Groom and I  made almost 100 of these. I have also etched a bunch of wedding presents like mugs, plates and jars. Busy...busy...busy.... Today I made a couple simple banners the bride wanted and tomorrow a few signs as well. 2 more days to go!!!!

I do want to share with you that I have joined the Silhouette Challenges Blog as a new team member for 2015!  How fun is that?

I am so excited as  you know almost every creation I make has a Silhouette cut element of some sort included! In fact...my Silhouette is cutting away some vinyl signs and signs for the little ring bearer as I type this!

Please take a few minutes to pop over and join with a Silhouette creation of your own-our challenge for August #28  is Anything Goes!



I should be back to my regular crafting soon!

Wedding Present for Taylor and Van!

Congratulations to my nephew Taylor and his lovely new bride Van!

I made this for them along with this cute little card! The 'S' is from the Silhouette Store  and cut with vinyl and applied to the front of the glass on the frame--and then I used a misc. font for the names. 

oops...I meant to post this next week-after the wedding....I will add the card in just a few.... 

Here it is!

Well here it is...a pretty little card using a bride and groom tri-fold card Silhouette cut file and some lovely S.E.I. White Elegance embossed papers. 

Mr & Mrs Wedding card

Hello my fellow crafty bloggers! It has been oh so long since I have gotten to craft a wee bit. I can't believe I have not posted in over a month. I have so missed being crafty, it is my stress reliever-and boy if there was ever a time I needed a stress reliever outlet! More to come on that later....

Today I want to share a card I made for a happy occasion!  I have a sweet niece getting married tomorrow and this is what I made. Gotta love Mickey and Minnie!  I googled the kissing  image and traced the outer edge in my Silhouette software, cutting it out of white and adding black behind it-easy peasy with no paper piecing! I added the red heart and used a Disney font (Waltograph) to add their name to the front as well.

TIP: Cut a rectangle around the name when you cut it out.  Carefully pull up the rectangle (leaving the letters on the cutting mat) and using this negative-set it on your card front. Dot some glue in the negative spaces where the letters were. Add your letters back in "their space"  and pull up the outside rectangle right away. Your letters are perfectly aligned this way!

I topped  off this little wedding card with some Bo Bunny black polka dot ribbon. This is a big card...6 x 7.25  ish inches in size!

I added the kissing meeces inside a Silhouette artisan frame cut file (Alaa'K)  using heart cardstock by Best Creation (Sweet Love), making it into a stand up card.


                                     

Thanks for popping in to say Hello! I hope to be sharing more craftiness soon!

Congratulations Charla and Rick!

Today I will be officiating at the wedding of my forever friend Charla and her sweetie Rick!  Being a somewhat shy person, this is going to be a stretch for me as a wedding that started at 40 people is now around 125 ish LOL! And to beat it all, both Charla and I have gotten very sick the last two days with a nasty cold and flu...oh goodness I hope she makes it through the ceremony and I don't lose my voice!!!

I am sure there are going to be stories told for a long time about this day....

I cut this out and added it to their present using some fun doodlebug papers.  The file is a
Silhouette cut file that can be found here. #16202 Sarah Bailey

I had this vision of a pretty wrapped present and ornaments topped with a white feather boa...did not go as planned as I was spitting out feathers like crazy once I cut into the boa...drats!  I added silk ribbon to the ornaments instead and tied the boa around the present...pretty Christmassy I must say!!!  Not as elegant as I envisioned but a heck of a lot more fun!

I made a pair of Mr and Mrs ornaments with glitter inside the ball...oh my what a mess again...I know you remember that glitter and I do not mix either Ha!  The words are added with white vinyl with the  Lavendaria font.  Both ornaments have the date on the other side of the ball.

I will let you know how I managed tonight...covered with glitter and spittin' feathers and coughing with a cold in front of all the wedding guests!!!  Good thing Charla and Rick love me...

Creations by AR May Release!

Tux and Gown Box Set

Welcome! Tis the season for fancy proms and weddings....and Creations by AR has just the project for you!

This Tux and Gown box set can be used for any big night out on the town surprise or gift-Darling for proms don't you think?! Wouldn't it be fun to personalize these boxes for the actual outfits?  

Today I am making this template in to a wedding set. I used some absolutely gorgeous SEI white pearl foil papers for my gown and shirt. I know it is hard to tell in these pics, but they are definitely stylin'!   When my daughters got married, they wanted bling so here we are...a pretty wedding dress with bling and a fancy tux with silver buttons! 

I used rhinestones  around the top of the dress and the fancy center bling part came from some Martha Stewart bling stickers-they worked perfectly!  Now I know you might be tired of hearing this, but this set can be put together in about 15 minutes flat ! Very simple and fun to bling up!

What's On Your Workdesk ? Wednesday #130-Wedding and Glitter Dots

I

Just a quick What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday!  post!  Showing off the wedding favor I made for Abby's wedding.. I used plain paper bags and punched the edges with a pretty Martha Stewart punch. I stamped Abby & Rick(with Just Rite alpha stamps)  on the clothes pin that held the tag onto the bag full of candy. The tag is just a manila shipping tag stamped with Chocolate Chip ink and the perfect Stamping Up sentiment. We ordered a bunch of  bulk green candy online to fill the bags. These were easy to make and looked very cool sitting at all the table place settings at the wedding.

The next picture is actually what my crafting buddy Jill and I are working on now...our annual Christmas gifty project for family and friends. We needed a bunch of "holly berries" for our project but that seems to be a bit spendy considering the quantity needed to complete everything so we got creative and made them!

To make the glitter dots, use your glue gun and leave small dots of hot glue(try to keep them small as they tend to spread a little)  and then cover with glitter. Let them set up for a few minutes to harden.  I used this super fine glitter from Martha Stewart. This picture is actually taken after we picked the dots out of the glitter....that was a wee bit of a pain. You may need to trim the glue gun strings off of some of the dots, but they really turned out great!

See how fun and glittery they are?

I missed out posting last week for WOYWW, so I am trying to get back on track in this week! Hope you can stop by and say Hello to Julia and the rest of the crowd.

See you all next week!

What's On Your Workdesk ? Wednesday #125-a few quick wedding pictures

Here are Abby and Rick when they first saw each other at the wedding. I love how her veil is blowing in the wind! This is a picture I took but the pictures below are two that my son took of a couple of our projects. ( I am sure you can tell who the photographer in this family is...) I hope to find time to show you how we made them soon. I have been gone since after the wedding and just getting home tonight. No craftiness to show off yet, I MUST clean my room so I can get that crafty feelin' back LOL!

This is a picture of the brooch bouquet we made and that I gave you got a peek of last week. My son took this wonderful picture as well as the picture of the wedding cake below.

Both my daughter and her new husband graduated from the University of Oregon and the school mascot is a Duck (actually Disney's Donald Duck) so her cake toppers were perfect! I made this cake using a design I found online. I will link it up when I recap all the wedding  details!

Sorry for the quick post, but I am off to start unpacking all the boxes of wedding table decorations and relax a wee bit.

Hello to all who play along with What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday and those who like to just peek at the desks and aren't brave enough to show off a messy, messy  desk like I showed off last week(it still looks exactly the same LOL).

Abby and Rick Cyphers

The first wedding photo's of the Cypher's! I couldn't wait to share with you all! It was a grand night and a beautiful ceremony!

My son Matthew took these pictures. These are all before the wedding. In the bottom picture, Abby and Rick are separated by a glass door and had not seen each other in their wedding finery yet! It was fun to watch them go around the door and see each other.   More pics too come later!

(the sun glasses Abby and the girls are wearing are of course Univirsity of Oregon Duck shades!)

 Wrapping up the last of the wedding projects...I hope to show them all to you next week after things calm down...too busy to stop at the moment...so stay tuned for the details!  I can't wait to share! You can see my living room is lined with tables full of projects to be packed up for the wedding on Friday. We're almost there...11-11-11 here we come

You won't see me for hanging around this blog for a week or so while I take a much needed break as well! I am going to play tourist and do a little sight seeing with family from out of town.

Just in case you think I have had any extra time...I had to show you what my desk looks like as I am walking by it to fall into bed tonight!  You can see a new white IKEA cabinet in the upper right corner, but I have not had a spare minute to decide where to put it.

I am off to bed but I hope you can join in the fun over  at Julia's blog and play along with What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday!

Outlines Monday Challenge-Inspiration picture

Welcome to this week's Outlines Monday Challenge! This week we are using an inspiration photo (you can see below).


Yep, call me a cheater...not any yellow...or even the right green colors LOL...I thought I had this challenge made...Abby's wedding is in just a few days and her colors are green and yellow! You would think I had it made anyway.  As we crafted away, the colors have slowly changed to a darker rich green and black, with no yellow! And cheater that I am, everything I am making these last few weeks must be wedding related so I can find time to sleep too LOL!  I made this great little gift card holder using a cut svg file from Creations by AR. I "purtied" it up with this perfect Outlines wedding sentiment and  a left over rolled flower and leaves from other wedding projects.  And don't you love lucious May Arts ribbon that my friend Charlene introduced me too???(she is on the May Arts Design Team and makes the yummiest things with ribbon)....oh my! I ordered a WHOLE roll of it for the wedding projects I have been working on. Thanks to Jill from Urban Papers for ordering it for me!

I put the natural ivory Stampin Up cardstock through my big shot with a swiss dots embossing folder for a little texture. Gotta love that folder!


 Abby wanted a little holder of some kind for  her bridesmaids gifts--so I whipped up these cuties. Although they are gift card holders, there is also room for the gifty she wants to give the girls. (Can't show you that because they might peek here.)  I guess they can at least look forward to a Starbucks treat when they get here though!

A peek inside of the little purse/gift card holder. The girls will be needing a little caffeine I am sure! (me too)

Here you can see the side view and see that it is fairly slim little box. I love how this turned out!
