Wedding Shadow Box

After a couple hours..I think I got it!! I cut my letters just a little too big the first time around.I bought the "outfits" and to make them fit, I had to cut and piece together some paper dolls. So my dolls vary in size from 3 1/2 inches to 4 1/2 inches..I used Storybook to cut the letters (shadow and regular) at 1 1/2 inches. I have a corner punch that I used for the corners. I hope my sister and her fiance like it.


What do you think? I wish I had more shadow boxes..I think they make great gifts!!

July's Challenge--Stars and Stripes--Use of Bling!!

At the Cuttlebug Blog for July, the theme is Stars and Stripes-Use of Bling! Well we rec'd an amazing package this month from Crazy Scraps (our super awesome sponsorer!! Check them out for super great deals.. http://www.crazyscraps.com/ )

For this challenge I used the following products supplied by Crazy Scraps:

Cuttlebug Die 2x2 Circle Frames

Doodlebug Mini Brads-Lady Bug

Doodlebug Crushed Velvet Blue Jean cardstock

Doodlebug Sew American Stripe paper

I also used:

red embossing powder, red and white cardstock, Storybook cart, the Mickey Font, some little rhinestones, and some ribbon

I decided to heat emboss some of the circles and I also heat embossed my brads to help them shine! It is so simple to do! All you need is some embossing powder, embossing ink and your heat gun! Push your brad into your ink pad, then put some embossing powder on it, heat it up, then repeat if you do not like the amount the first time. The marquee cuts were cut from the Storybook cart..the Sew American stripe paper was cut at 11 1/2 inches and the white was cut at 8 inches. The word FUN was cut from the Mickey font at 2 inches. Hope you like!! Let me know what you think!!

Challenge 24 - 3D

We were challenged to make a 3-D project and I couldn't wait to use my tags, bags, and more cart! I barely ever use it..not sure why...when I can make these cute little purses!! (note to self: don't let my dd see it..LOL..she will be making them non-stop..LOL)...I set my expression to fit to page and for the first time used the bigger size mat..I also used some poster board to make it extra sturdy. I added some dimension to the purse so it wasn't so plain by using my cuttlebug then adding some clear embossing powder to help give it a shine..added in a cut (flower) from storybook..and there is my cute little purse! These would be great for a girl's party don't you think? Mine came out to be 8 1/2 inches when cut.

2 Cards--Same basic design

I made these 2 cards today..I needed one bday and one for a baby congrats...I used my storybook cart to cut the accents...which I am really loving this cart for that reason..it has so many nice accent cuts!! I added some buttons, little rhinestones, embossed with my cuttlebug and voila..all done!! Simple yet cute! LOL!!
