Thinking of You

Tuesday, February 21

Hey there!! Nicole here today with a card to share with you. I made this card specifically as a get well card but it could be used for many different occasions.

I popped my purple flower up with some foam to create some dimension on my card.

I even decorated the inside of my card with a flower :-)

I used the following My ScrapChick files to create my card -

Bloomin' Doodle Flowers

and

Lattice Square Cards

Vinyl Monogram

Monday, February 20

Hi friends! This is Debb (Clickersister) and today I'm excited to bring you my first post for My Scrap Chick! I love creating personalized items, so I chose these files and made an anniversary tile!

I used the Flourish Monogram for the main letter, and the long flourish from the Flourish Placecard file. I duplicated it, then mirrored one of them to create the white image on each side. This was cut from two colors of vinyl, then applied to the 12x12 ceramic tile.

I hope you've enjoyed my project, along with all the other fabulous designs on My Scrap Chick. Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs! Debb

Paper Cake!!!

Saturday, February 18

Hi Everyone! Julie here with Readysetstamp! I hope you all had a fabulous Valentine's Day and you were spoiled by your loved ones!!! Today my project is a darling birthday cake that I made for my son who will be 25 shortly.

I think my son is going to love this so much and I can't wait to give it to him! Be sure to head on over to My Scrap Chick today to purchase and make this darling cake for your loved ones!!!

I used the two tier birthday cake from My Scrap Chick along with Teal Small Dot paper from Coredinations. I also used some darling rhinestones from Michael's inside the flowers and I love how it turned out.

Basketball Layout

Friday, February 17

Tracy here from the Idea closet and today it is my turn to share a project at My Scrap Chick.

I love Scrapbooking but I haven't really done much for a while.

When I saw this Basketball Allstar kit, I just knew it would be perfect for a layout.

When my son was a little guy, he and his best friend started playing basketball with the Jr. Jazz.

They played on a lot of teams together through the years but on their first team , Tyson's number was #15 and his friend was # 24; so when I made the little bears I cut out the numbers and put it on the jerseys.

To create the layout with the Cameo/Silhoutte

1. Open the court into a new drawing area and ungroup.

2. Rotate the court 90 degrees.

3. Resize the basketball court to 11.75" wide (do the width because you rotated the image).

4.With the knife tool, slice down the middle to create 2 halves.

5. Cut it out one side at a time

6. Open the allstar bear

7. Ungroup and layer all the pieces

8. Group and then size him to fit on your layout

9. Open the replicate window and mirror the bear so you have 2 facing different directions

10. Ungroup everything and cut the pieces.

11. Cut the title and any extra balls you may want and assemble.

Its actually pretty easy! This was such a fun little project to do and now I can't wait to go find all the many photos I have and get them scraped!

Be sure to check out the Basketball All Star kit, I promise you will love it.

A gumball machine - with Sarah

Wednesday, February 15

Hi everyone, you're joining Sarah all the way from Australia!

I have an awesome shaker card for you today using the paper piecing templates from the Gumball Machine Card files.

To show you how versatile these files are, I've changed this card up a bit by adding a shaker element to the globe. I cut out all my pieces by hand (I don't own a cutting machine), and then created the globe with my Fuse Tool.

I added some little metallic shapes and some plastic chicks and then sealed it up. I added a couple of dots of hot glue to adhere the globe to the card.

The files you get with the Gumball Machine Card also come with inserts for the inside of the card - My Scrap Chick have thought of everything!

I doodled borders around each piece to help them stand out.

What would you put in your gumball machine?

Cupcake Shaped Birthday Card

Tuesday, February 14

Hello there, Nicole here today with a fun birthday card to share with you. My daughter's friend recently had a birthday and she celebrated with a Quincenara. My daughter was one of her "attendants". I wanted to make a fun and special card for her friend and this is what I came up with -

I used the "Cuppy Cake Treatkins" file and created a shaped card. I enlarged my card quite a bit. It is about 5.5 inches in height. Since our present was the card and some money I wanted the card to be larger ;)

To create my card base I made an offset of my cupcake's base layer and then cut it out two times. The back layer of the card I scored about one inch or so down from the top. I only adhered the top section of the back layer to the front to create the card base (you can see this up in my photograph).

I needed an envelope for my card to fit in so I chose the "Chunkie Square Envie 6.0" and used some coordinating cardstock to make it with. I think this turned out to be such a cute birthday card and it really went together quite quickly. The slowest part was picking out my papers, lol!!

FILES USED

Chunkie Square Envie 6.0"

Birthday Celebration!

Thursday, February 9

Hello Everyone! I'm Alma and this is my first post here at the blog! yayy... so, my daughter's B-Day is coming up and for that reason i wanted to make something to surprise her in her room, so i came up with this banner, fun and bold just like her.

I decided to combine two files in one and so can you, the banner is the Party pennants with scallop edge on both sides

For the center part I used the Happy Birthday title

I also wanted to make her a fun card, and i found this one under the birthday tab, it's part of a trio of a treat box, easel card and a tag the file name is Party Owls

I really like this file because it comes with all the numbers so we can personalized the age on the card in my case i need it a 16.

Here you have the images of the files in the store so you can find them easily

Happy Birthday Title

Party Owl Trio

That's all from me today, i hope you guys like them and feel inspired to make your own, see you next time, and you can always find me at MyCricutSide on Facebook and on Instagram.

Valentine's Day by Shirley

Tuesday, February 7

If you are like me you like to get your money's worth from your purchases. This also applies to my SVG purchases. I always love when I can create more than one project from the same file.

Today I am sharing how I used "Cupid's Cloud" and "Hearts in Circle Frame" in two different ways. Both patterns can be found in the Valentine category.

For my projects I made a 12 by 12 inch scrapbook layout and a 5 inch stand up frame.

PRODUCTS USED

Hearts In Circle Frame from My Scrap Chick

Cupids Cloud digi stamp from My Scrap Chick

For the stand on the back I used Flower Frame from MSC ( you could use one from any frame.)

"Rock Candy Glitter Paper " by COLORBOK

Image printed on Spectrum Noir Cardstock by Crafter's Companion

Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

Adhesive, foam tape and foam dots

The frame file and digi image were uploaded into Design Space. The frame was cut at 5 inches from the glitter paper. I used print then cut to make the digi image 4 1/4 inches long, then colored it with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.

My second project was a 12 by 12 scrapbook layout.

Products Used

Cupids Cloud svg from My Scrap Chick

Hearts in Circle Frame from My Scrap Chick

Patterned cardstock is "Hello Love" by Crate Paper

Solid and glitter cardstock from Recollections

Your favorite inks

Black and white gel pens

Adhesive

I used two shades of pink as the background layers for my layout. I added an 11 1/2 square of the arrow print centered on top. The frame was cut 9 1/4 inches square using the same shades of pink for the bottom two layers as were used for the background. The top layer is white and the second layer is cut from the pink heart print. The cut out hearts from the frame were used for the corner accents on the layout.

The Cupids's Cloud paper piecing was sized at 6 inches. Everything except the bear was cut from glitter paper. The finished bear was attached to the upper left of the frame with the little hearts scattered down the left edge of the frame. The frame was then attached to the center of the page.

Be sure to visit my blog at Scrappy Sam Designs where I share more great info.

Thanks for stopping by. If you liked my projects please let me know. I welcome your comments.

Valentine Bears ~ with Cyndy G.

Monday, February 6

Hello. Today I am sharing a project with you from My Scrap Chick. I have joined their team for the upcoming year and am very excited to share my project with you.

I made a Valentine card using several files: Bear In Top Hat Valentine, Dressed Up Valentine Bear, Cupids Cloud Valentine, Girl Valentine Bear and the Easel Card Collection.

I used the Girl Valentine Bear as the stop on the base of the card and I added some Black Licorice - Trendy Twine to "sprinkle" the hearts.

I really love how it all turned out.
Thank you for stopping by, have a crafty day.

Do what inspires you,

Mailbox and Gorilla Valentine's Day Treats!

Hi Everyone! Julie here from Readysetstamp!

For my project I used the darling Love and Kisses from Myscrapchick.

I really love the designs and love the fact that they work perfectly on all sorts of surfaces. For my project I used Oracle 651 for the mailbox and SiserEasyWeek HTV for the cute gorilla.

If I told you that the mailbox came from the dollar section at Target would you be impressed?!! It did and in case you would rather make one, check out this link. The gorilla was from the Dollar Tree.

Love and Kisses

Mailbox and Postage Stamp Cards

Thanks so much for stopping by and remember that there's is still time to make these darling treats for your loved on!! Head on over to My Scrap Chick and pick up this darling cut file for yourself! I would love it if you would stop my my blog too at ReadySetStamp.com !

It's February and I'm ready for Valentines!

Valentines Day comes every year, and a lot of people dread it. That used to be me! But NOT this year!

I always say that I'm going to put up at least one Valentine Decoration. Or I'm going to go buy myself a Valentine's Shirt to wear on the day.

But, I never do.
Until THIS year!
This year I have decorations. AND a shirt!
And I shall display and wear them proudly!
But first to share them with all of you!

My Shirt! I LOVE my shirt! And it was super easy to make. As a matter of fact, this was my very first Iron On Vinyl project ever. I purchased the shirt from Academy ($8.99) and purchased some Iron On On Vinyl, and ironed it on my shirt.
Here's a link to the File I used: Love and Kisses

And I LOVE my little frames! I made two little 4x7 frames to hold the SVG files that I purchased from My Scrap Chick. One of the frames holds the word "Valentine" and the other is simply "XO". I also added a little Heart Arrow underneath the "XO". I think the little frames are super cute little additions to my main project frame.

Here are the links to the three cutting files that i used on these two projects: XO, Heart Arrows, Valentine Wordart. (I used the XO from the Love and Kisses file on the one frame).

The main part of my project that everything goes around is my Black Glittered Wooden Frame. I LOVE this frame, you can use it for anything! (and you will most probably see this exact same frame in the future!) Each section of the frame is decorated with an SVG file from My Scrap Chick (except for one, the bottom middle). Most of the cuts have been popped up with Pop Dots (everything looks better with Pop Dots!)

In the original file, the Cupid, is holding a heart arrow and a harp, but i decided to change that and gave him a banner that simply states "I Love You".

To make the "LOVE" letters, I simply used the 3D Alphabet Pop Up Letters and made them the size that i needed to fit in the space that i was allowed.

A LOT of files were added into this frame, but i think each one fits together quite nicely!

Here's a list of each file that i used:

Heart and Arrows

Love and Kisses

3D Alphabet Pop Up Letters

Cupid Belly Treat Box

Fall Pennant
