Big News! I'm on a DT!!

Hello all! I am proud to announce that I was chosen to be on the Design Team for Lindsay's Stamp Stuff created by the Frugal Crafter herself. She has some adorable digital stamps that you can buy. They are all only $1.00 each!! And they are 10% off for Mother's Day! Here is a card that I created using her Cherry Jam Stamp.

The word Sweet was an altered SVG file that I got from the Vendibles Blog. I added cherries to it. If you'd like the file, it's a freebie: Sweet Cherries Title Svg. To get the 3-D effect of the cherries and the cloth on the lid, I printed out the stamp 2 times exactly the same size. Then I cut out the part that I wanted to be 3-D and added it on top of the original stamp. I then used 3-D pop dots to make them stand out.

Gotta Try It!

You've gotta see this! A 13-Year Old from from the Clever Someday Blog gives a tutorial on how to cut freezer paper stencils with your Cricut machine and use them to paint designs on t-shirts.

I can't wait to try this out! Check out her blog to see more examples of shirts that they have made!

This video is also from Clever Someday. It is showing how to transfer lettering from your Cricut mat to your project in perfect alignment using drywall tape (aka Magic Mesh).

Some Embroidered Looking Freebies

Hey everyone! It is Freebie Thursday! I know I already gave you some freebies yesterday, but I guess you can just get a double dose this week. Enjoy! Here are some pieces that I'm hoping someone can find a use for. I found them on an embroidering website and converted them to SVG files. Floral Corner SVG

Freebie Wednesday!

Well I called this Freebie Wednesday, but I think from now on I'll do my freebies on Thursdays. I know several people already have Freebie Wednesdays and Fridays, why not give us something to enjoy in between?

Well I think I'm finally beginning to get the hang of this Inkscape thing. It took me forever to figure out how to export my image to a png file so that I could show it to you. But here are a few freebies that I created today! Enjoy!

Cards, Cards Cards!

Here is a card that I made using a freebie Digi Stamp from Dustin Pike. The caption says "Like a Kite, You Lift Me Up." I kinda borrowed and rephrased the caption from someone else's card using this image. I loved it! The swirly background gives it a look of the sky. I used a q-tip and some blue chalk and swirled it around. The dew drops are made from hot glue that is painted with pink pearl nail polish. Once again, this was an idea that I got from Lindsay. Man that girl is talented!

This is an image I found through google. It is supposed to be a coloring page, but I used it as a digi stamp. The caption is 3-D.

On both of these cards I used one-sided patterned paper and glued them back to back to create the effect of double sided paper. Thanks again Lindsay for the great idea!
