The Woodsong Collection: Thank you notes

Hi There! Tiffany here with a quick and easy solution to all of those Thank you cards you've been needing to send after the holidays.

I decided to merge two of my favorite kits together. First I used the Woodsong Collection. I'm in love with the woodgrain and the perfect colors. I feel like they are so warm and versitle. Then I used Deena's D-cut Basic Envelope and Notecards.  I used the JPG version as a clipping mask and designed my thank you cards.  

My oldest son, also turned four years old this Christmas, so we have double the thank you cards to send for him! I decided, that since he is just learning to write his letters, I would do something a little more simple for him to fill in the blanks and sign his name. Perfect. He's so excited to send them.  For the card below I used one of the Woodsong Element frames and enlarged to a thank you card size. I'm sending them in 5x7 envelopes!

Enjoy! I'd love to see what you have been creating with the Woodsong Collection!

Happy Christmas - Digital cutting files

Tiffany and Jeryn here, teaming up to showcase one of Deena's older collections: Happy Christmas - cutting files. Did you know there are 20 different cuts and overlays? One of the greatest things about this collection is all the different file types: SVG, AI, GSD, JPG, and PNG.  If you don't have a digital cutting machine, don't worry. This kit is still fantastic to use in printable/hybrid way!  Here are a couple of projects our creative team came up with.

For this hybrid Hot chocolate sleeve, I used THIS GIFTCARD freebie cutting file and made it just big enough for a hot cocoa packet. Then I added on the stocking file, a multi-layered cut, which is one of my favorites in the kit. I love the layers. Add some ribbon, and off you go. What a quick and easy project. It took me about an hour to complete ten of them, even with all the glue.

Pair it up with a cute little travel mug and it makes a perfect little gift.

Every year the kids and I make handmade ornaments for the tree. Some I will make myself and some the kids will make on their own (with my help, of course). Using the rectangle tag I created quick and easy tags for this year's ornaments. After cutting on the Cricut, I stamped it, added glitter, added washi tape- which BTW is THE best thing on earth and added twine. This project took probably less than 30 minutes to complete. Easy peasy!

Because this was quick and easy I decided to create a garland for the tree. I have been wanting to make a paper garland for the tree for some time now so this was a perfect opportunity. 

The circle tags were created with paper from Merry and Bright and textured cardstock glued to one side. String some twine through them and you've got garland! You can also hang one end from the ceiling along with other strands in different lengths for a pretty flowy look. 

We're fast approaching Christmas so we're going to take a few days off to enjoy the holiday with our families. We'll be back next week! Until then, Deena Rutter and the team wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

Freebie: Clover SVG cutting file

 

Hey! It's Tiffany here with a quick and easy hybrid project just in time for St. Patty's day this weekend. I used paper from Deena's Jolly Holiday collection at Design House digital. Then I used this freebie clover from Deena. (click here to link)

I cut out three different sizes with three different papers and sewed them together in the center. I fluffed them a little to get the 3D effect I was wanting and glued them to my paper. Hopefully it will bring us some Luck this St. Patrick's day!

 

DHD: Homeward Bound - Pink - hybrid Birthday card

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 formatted my page to be an 11x17 page to have a little more print area. It worked out great to get the full sized 4x6 size card and envelope on one sheet of paper.

I wanted a pretty design on the inside of the envelope, so I printed this beauty on the back.

after I had cut it out by hand, it was time to fold it. If you don't have a bone folder, or a scoring tool. Use the side of a countertop or table.

 

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.

my Happy birthday and address window are both elements from the Homeward Bound - Pink collection elements availabe at Design House digital.

I hope my birthday girl is as excited about her pretty birthday card as I am about making it for her!! Happy Weekend!!

Christmas Advent Calendar: Love Birds

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

Blackbird and Superstition: Happy October crafting week - day seven

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!
