Lattice Card using Make the Cut software

Good morning to all.  I realize that I have not shared cut files with you in a long time because of my duties on several design teams.  And this morning I viewed a youtube.com video about creating a lattice mat for a card and thought I would create a card using the Make the Cut software….

Lattice Card

I hope the link works and will direct you to the download as Box.com changed a lot of their features since I started using it!

This file only comes in svg and studio3 format, but if you use Make the Cut software, the file can be imported as a svg file.  Hope you enjoy the file; and thank you for taking time to visit with me today.  Blessings to all.

Congrats Grad

Good morning crafters…another Sunsational Stamp project to showcase today.  This card will be delivered to my granddaughter who will be graduated from 8th grade last evening.

#254 Graduation Owl

On this image, I used Copic Markers to color, except for the Cap – I used Black Soot Distressed Ink marker.  The beak and feet I applied Wink of Stella Clear glitter.  I applied part of the Bright Graduation Greeting; and a single silver gemstone to the center of the bow.

‘from 8th grade’ was printed on inside and than cut out with my Silhouette Cameo.

June 1st Christmas Card All Yearl Around – Make a Snowman

June is soon here, and I used for my ‘Make a Snowman’ themed project two stamps from here and here

and the mats from SilhouetteAmerica Design Store and created this:

I first created the jpeg image of the Snowman and than, along with the sentiment, printed on the fancy edge mat.  The trees I colored with my Stampin! UP markers, and than adhered to the side of the snowman with foam tape. The nose I applied clear glitter with Wink of Stella glitter pens.  Both mats adhered to the card base,

Thank you for coming by to visit with me today, and may you have a blessed day.

Hot Diggity Dog – It’s Your Birthday

From this image

#262 Dog

I created this birthday card:

Using copic markers, I colored the Dog in shades of brown, and eyes with blue from Stampin! Up; and the nose with Black Distressed Marker and than applied glossy accents to his nose for a wet look.  The sentiment from Internet/Google search and applied flat buttons/beads to the corners of the mat, sentiment tag and card corner.

I first print and cut the card base with my Silhouette Studio DE.  Actually the sentiment (front and inside go together, I just ungrouped it in my software so I can print separately.)

Thank you for visiting with me today, and happy crafting this last weekend of May.
