Hi, It's Tiffany. I wanted to show you a quick and beautiful birthday card set using Deena's newest digital kit, Homeward Bound - Pink Collection. The colors are so lovely and spring- like. I started by selecting my papers.
Then I used the D-cut Basic Envelope and Notecards set. I wanted something simple. Did you know that even if you don't have a digital cutting machine (i.e. Cricut, sillhouette, etc) you can still use these D-cut files? When you download the file there are a handfull of different options to use. I used the .png file type and made the notecard and envelope to use as a clipping mask, and then I cut them out by hand. (Sometimes I just go back to my old hybrid scrapbooking days!)
I wanted a pretty design on the inside of the envelope, so I printed this beauty on the back.
It works great. Last thing, is glue down your edges. to make a cute little envelope with a beautiful lining... not to mention a great little birthday card. I'm so in love with flat cards right now, so the not card was my perfect option.
Here is a little something to help welcome in February...a free digital cutting file.
Make sure you stop by Design House Digital during the month of February, too! 2 new kits in the shop every day for just $1. By the end of the month you could have 60 new kits for $1 each! Fun and amazing. Here is a sneak peek of my release on Saturday February 4th.
Hey! Tiffany again! Have you seen Deena's latest fabric line? Oh my goodness! I love it. I saw the fun reds and greens, and knew I had to make something christmas-y with it! I was inspired by Pottery Barn's Felt advent calendar. I mixed some of the prints from Love Birds and some solid cotton fabric that I picked up at the fabric store. I wanted to mix textures, so some of the pockets have rick-rack, fabric flowers, applique, buttons, and all of them have the numbers appliqued on. Have I mentioned how I love wonder-under? Well, i do. :-)
The pockets are filled with everything from granola bars, fruit snacks, hot wheels, to service ideas, and fun family traditions (ginger bread houses, watching the nativity video, etc)
The few appliques I used are coming soon to Deena's shop at Design House digital. Aren't the ornaments and boot too cute? The font I used for my numbers is Century Gothic. I used Sure Cuts Alot and my cricut expression to cut the applique.
Hope these gave you a little of inspiration. check back soon to see what else we are doing! See you soon!! ~Tiffany
Hey There! It's Tiffany, on our final day of our Happy October Crafting week. I hope this has helped you along your Halloween crafting. Have you been working on some hybrid projects? We'd love to see them. Just put them into the gallery at Design House Digital, and post your link here.
For my trick or treat bucket I used papers from the Blackbird line. This bucket is the clear paint-type bucket that I picked it up at Michaels. I love that you can put your paper inside. So easy. For my cute little witchy button I used Deena's Basic D-cuts circle and circle scallop (design house digital) in coordinating paper. I used some Rayon fabric and gathered it along the back of my pin. I used the cute Witch from the chipboard of Blackbird. Then i tied some black ribbon on the handle and I'm ready to start filling it with some candy, or perfect to fill with treats for the neighbors? Happy Haunting!
If you like cutting files, paper, ribbon and all the trimmings, you are going to love this mantle that my friend Courtney made for her home. She used my SUPERSTITION cutting files, BLACKBIRD paper, SUPERSTITION PAPER, my free BANNER BORDER found here, chipboard letters from the local craft store, pom-poms bought on ebay, and a lot of imagination.
Want to make a banner like the one you see here? Download this layered .psd file and use the SUPERSTITION digital paper as your background, print, cut, and add your own letters.
Tiff has been making some fun stuff, now it's my turn. For today's project, I used BLACKBIRD diecuts, paper, and brads, plus my digital cuts from SUPERSTITION at Design House Digital.
First, I cut lots of circles out of the BLACKBIRD paper varying from 2"-5". I strung them with fishing line.
I cut houses from the d-cuts.
Using a wire mesh that I found at Home Depot, I simply cut with some cheap household scissors, and added brads to hold them in place. I tied ribbons at 4 different spots to hang it all evenly. Then I just tied the fishing wire through the wire mesh in random spots at different lengths.
I placed the cute little die-cut sticker people on the fronts of circles. For a final touch, I added brads to the wire mesh going around and through the center.
Happy Monday! It's Tiffany. Meet Hal. He's snuggly, fluffy, and just plain cute. For today's project I used Deena's crow D-cut from the superstition line at Design House digital. I used black felt. It's pretty hard to cut out on the cricut. Actually, it doesn't cut at all, so I traced and cut it out I thought this crow was pretty easy. I used wonder-under and ironed it on to my off-white fleece. I'm not much of a seamstress, but with a little embroidery stitching to hide my sewing flaws, I think he turned out okay. Doesn't it just look so perfect on my mom's little teeny-tiny rocking chair from when she was little?
Happy 2nd day of October!! Welcome back! Today, I want to share with you a SUPER quick, and even easier project. I love the crows in Deena's Superstition D-cuts kit. Just cut out the crow out of black vinyl (I used my cricut) and put it on a (clean) plate. Easy-peasy, but so, so cute. Now I just need to find the perfect home for him.
October is officially my favorite month of the year. Always has been, always will be.
