Fall Cards

Well, I can't believe summer is over and school has already begun around here.  I've been having fun trying out my silhouette portrait some more this week and thought I'd share...

For this one, I found my inspiration here.  I cut my own grass rather than tearing the paper, and added some clouds from my Fiskar's cloud punch.

 This one is on a flat card and the red part opens up (see photo below).

 The inspiration for this one I found here.  It turns out the circles are made of veneer and you can't buy a die, so I just made a bunch of circles with my silhouette studio software and created my own background.  Next time I would probably use thicker paper or layer it a few times so it doesn't look so flat.  I ended up running it all through the Big Shot with the large polka dot impression folder so it would have some texture.  If you'd like the cut file, leave a comment with your email address and I'd be happy to send it to you.  It can be resized, which I will be doing to make it a bit smaller so it'll fit on the card better.

 The inspiration for this one I found here.  I had a long chevron cut file rather than the individual ones, so I changed it up a bit.

 With the left-over scraps from the previous card, I made this one.

Thanks for stopping by!  Please leave a comment.  :)

Puff Quilt

Well, I've finally finished the puff quilt I've been working on for the past 3 years (shaking head in shame).  I just about gave up a few times when I didn't know how to finish the edge/back.  But I'm so happy I didn't give up and now I have it hanging on the wall in the nursery.

August Cards

Having fun with my Silhouette portrait and all the fun fonts available online.  Love the honeycomb and chevron embossing folders from Stampin' Up!

 This is a baby-themed card-in-a-box for a friend of my husband's baby girl.  I used stickers since I don't have many baby-themed stamps (and it's faster).  My two-yr-old loves it and wants to play with it, so I need to get it in the mail soon!

and some I made for Father's Day...
