So stay tuned....................wha...wha.....wha.........

Dress Form Paper Clip Matchbox

Update 9-16-2012: the Dress Form paper clips are from Maya Road  and can be found at your local scrapbook craft store or here. Maya Road also makes Hanger paper clips, too.

Here's a little matchbox dressed up with of course, a dress form! Paper used for this project: Graphic 45 paper, Recollections Black, Recollection Kraft. I love that Maya Road Mini Yardstick, those Vintage buttons, and the SVG Cut file for Dress Form from SVGcuts.com. The matchbox is a SU Matchbox die. The finished size is 2" x 2-3/4". This is the top view.

On the side of the box: SVGcut.com words from their Sew Crafty SVG Collection:

 And on the matchbox pull out: a vintage button used.

 Another view:

 Inside the box are metal dress form clips with red card stock used to line the bottom!

 



Hope you enjoyed this project - it was easy to make.  Have a crafty day................

3D Sandcastle

This is another projects from SVGcuts.com's Wet & Wild Collection - I really love how this 3D Sandcastle turned out.  Approx finished size is 8" x 8" x 3" and will hold 3 small battery operated tea lights to glow at night through the vellum windows. More banners were easily added to accommodate the recipient's last name.  The wonderful couple's name was also added to the roof banner. A Sakura Black Glaze pen was used to spell out the names.

The base of the castle is made from Recollections Kraft paper, the contrast is Core-dinations Gemstone Opal - love the subtle sheen and texture which married up well with the Kraft. The Paradise sign was made using SVG cut file Tropical Friends from SVG Cuts.com. The banner is hung using some Blue and white twine.

 Here is the embellishments in front of the castle (very similar to the ones used for the card posted on August 29). I had some spare coral used for a previous project that was added, too. The randomly positioned adhesive pearls add a nice finishing touch.

 Left side of the 3D Sandcastle are waves (a free SVG cut file from SVGcuts.com):

Here's the removable roof of the sandcastle...........more adhesive gems.

OK - at the last minute, I decided this 3D Sandcastle needed to have a cute little mermaid.............so this one was re-sized to fit the castle. The mermaid is also part of the images that can be found in the Tropical Friends SVG Collection. I would position her in the left corner.  I will be sending this little mermaid to my friend in Hawaii. Her eyes were also using the Sakura Black Glaze pen.

 This project will be on my list to make one of these for myself some time soon.................have fun crafting today!!!

Wet & Wild Thank You Card

Been really tied up since returning from Hawaii. Trying to post projects that have been made to share with you all.  This card was made using my SCAL computer program and SVG cut file from SVGcuts.com .Their Collection is called Wet & Wild SVG and can be found here. The finished size: 6-3/4" x 6-3/4". I love this collection - it is so fun to make and assembly is so easy!

Overview of the card:

Here's a close up of the clown Fish used from a different SVG cut file from SVGcuts.com. The file is called Tropical Friends and can be found here. The adhesive googlie eye was perfect for the popped up clown fish.



Here's a closer look at the bottom front of the card. My Cuttlebug Multi Dots and BubblesEmbossing Folder was used on the star and shell. Each of the images is popped with dimensionals. I also love the adhesive gems used at the bottom..............hmmm, I could have added some sand, too.............now where did I put it? The "thank You" message was cut using font from my computer and SCAL..........love that!!!!

Here's another view:
