Hi Everyone!

Look at this beautiful e-cut! Another perfect creation by Suzanne of Quietfire Design.

The butterflies were punched, then inked up in autumn colours, and given a tiny bit of sparkle.

The top edge of the panel was embossed with a tree bark folder, and lightly swiped with ink.

The colours of autumn- absolutely the best!

GIFT BAG CARD HANGERS

Hi Everyone!

Lately, I've been seeing gift bag card hangers, here and there online. With my fabulous Silhouette Cameo, I was able to make my own. 

Mine hang the card totally outside of the bag. Easy to attach to the bag, and easy to add and remove the card.

These are addictive!

I think this will do for now. :)

Until next time, thanks for looking!

Edited to add: this website has the dies to cut the hangers, if you can't cut your own-

IT'S A TWIRL THING!

Hi Everyone!

While it is still summer, the cooler temps are turning my thoughts to fall. I love fall. DH loves fall, so we are in our happy place these days. :)

I can't seem to stop using this stamp from Quietfire Design- don't you just love it?

TWIRL puts me in mind of falling leaves as they swirl and twirl to the ground. The bees are starting to slow down and sometimes do their own little spin and twirl too.

NEW STAMPS ON ATC'S

Hi Everyone!

I'm happy to share some ATC's with you. My local group has a trading session tomorrow, and I made a few new cards to trade.

My friend Jutta, and I decided on a challenge between us- kraft paper, black, white and leaves.

I always like a challenge, but I love Quietfire Design stamps.

Isn't this stamp awesome! (this is my favourite card)

So, there you have it. My little collection of artist trading cards to add to my binder for tomorrow.

You can see the new stamp sets HERE.

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

FABULOUS NEW STAMPS TO SHARE!

Hi Everyone!

This sentiment is just one of the new stamps available from Quietfire Design. 

They are currently being offered for 20% off, and you can see them all HERE.

I made a background paper by combining pieces from three different papers in the Kaisercraft THESE DAYS paper pack.

The ribbon has a die-cut buckle attached, and you can find the technique post HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today!

CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT!

Hi! I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer- it's just flying by, isn't it?

In my busy-ness, I forgot to blog this card. I just discovered it while reviewing some photo files :)

This fun-to-make card has washi tape, close together to create designer paper. Then, some holes were cut out, some butterflies were punched and embossed and the card was put together.

Don't you love the happy birthday stamp? It has whimsy and happy all over it! It's one of  a set of seven stamps- all beautiful- and you can get them HERE. 

This is a design idea I could use again- different washi tapes, maybe squares instead of circles, another greeting. We'll see. :)

Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope you're having a terrific summer!

SILHOUETTE DECOR

Hi everyone!

I had a fabulous day recently...spent the entire morning in my pj's, with my Silhouette Cameo machine. I have a few projects to share with you.

DH and I both have these thermal go-cups. He bought them from Tim Horton's and we love them- they keep the coffee hot a long time. I like my coffee black, he doesn't, and too often we'd mix up our cups.

Not any more! I blinged mine up with some gold sparkle vinyl from Dollarama, and this perfect cutting file by Quietfire Design at Silhouette Store. I'll have to hand wash my cup now but it's worth it. The 'vinyl' is more like self-adhesive cellophane.

On a roll, I went for my phone........

 I don't expect these designs to last forever but I like to change things up, so it's not an issue.

Then........

my lovely Cameo got a tiny bit of whimsy with this butterfly- you guessed it- Quietfire Design.  :)

Blue vinyl from Dollarama.

This is the last design of the day.

Can you guess where this is?

Everyone should have one, don't you think?  :)

I just love this!

I want to give credit and kudos here..

She shared her genius idea of using the cutting mat to transfer the cut designs to the cup, phone, etc.

I hope you liked having a peek at the results of  my morning playtime with my Cameo.

Thanks for stopping by- I appreciate it!
