Batty 4 You Card

This was a free cut file from MY Scrap Chick - not sure if it is still available now. It was a quick and simple card to make if you have SCAL (Sure Cuts a Lot program). I made a similar card last year but had to hand cut it.............this was waaaay easier!!!! I had to try it immediately when I saw it.

closer face details: wiggle googlie eyes, glitter cheeks, glitter ears. Eyes and cheeks are popped with dimensionals.

"batty" edges sponged with various colors:

Open the left wing to reveal "4"

Open the right wing to reveal "You" where edges are sponged with various colors


Here's what the cut file look like on the computer screen......not much color separation so that's why the words were made more colorful. This was a free cut file from My Scrap Chick

Dandelion Friends Window Card

I really wanted to make one of the window cards. I love the Dandelion Friends Set so I incorporated it into the card. I was so in a hurry, I didn't even take photos of the assembly. It is simple to make. Those corners are made using SCAL (Sure Cuts a Lot program) with Traditional Asian Corners cut file from 7-11-09 from Paulo (he has quite a few cut files that can be downloaded). There are right corners used on this card. Those circles made from using Spellbinders Small Circle dies. Love that cardstock is textured: Coredinations Paper from your local craft store. I chose to leave a sentiment off until I use this card.

Open the first flap to reveal the circle trimmed in Brown card stock. The front circle is 2-3/4" wide. The inside flap circle is a 2-1/2" opening with a 1/4" rimmed circle which means using removable tape to secure the 2-1/2 and the 2-3/4: dies to create this embellishment..............gosh, I hope that wasn't confusing.................


Here are the "Friend" girls peeking through:


Open all the flaps to reveal both sides with Vanilla card stock, Traditional Asian Corners, Washi Paper in the center.

Here's a close-up of the "Friends". They are colored using Copic Markers, cut out and popped with dimensionals. Add a rhinestone flower with additional bling for the center.

For even more bling, a Sakura Jelly Roll Clear pen is used on the clothing.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Friends by Dandelion Designs


• CS: Coredinations Grapevine, Neenah White, Washi Paper, Brown


• Ink: Momento Black


• Accys: Copic 110 Special Black-V17-V15-BVOO-V01-R20-E21, Spellbinders Small Circle Die, Adhesive Flower and Rhinestone from my stash, Sukura Crystal Jelly Roll Pen, 2 Way Glue Pen, Dimensionals

Pumpkin Trick or Treat Tote

Are these cute or what? This is a SCAL (Sure Cuts a Lot program) cut file from My Scrap Chick and I had to make some right away!!! These all look so cute in a cluster. The treat box holds quite a few Halloween size treats. Finished size is 5-1/2" x 1-3/4" x 6-1/4" (measured arm to arm, actual box is 3-1/2").

Here's the treat box: note the bottom teeth are attached to the front of the box so it looks like the candy is inside the jaw...........

Treat box front: Sunburst Oval is made from the SCAL (Sure Cuts a Lot Program) Library. I took the measurements of the Trick or Treat stamp, then made the correct size of the Sunburst as well as the White Oval............I love this versatility in using SCAL for doing this!!! Can you believe none of my dies were the correct size......urgh!!! Attach the Black gingham bow using a mini glue dot and pop the whole thing with dimensionals.

Look how cute THAT face: use a black pen to hand draw the eyebrows. The Googlie eyes are off set (for more funnyness):

Side view:

The cut pieces from the file:

Sponge all edges (except teeth and eyes) using Close to Cocoa (or any contrasting color)

Add sticky tape to the flaps:

It is a SVG (Sure Cuts a Lot) Cut file from Scrappedlives.nl. I popped the bamboo cut file from Lettering Delights - Asia with dimensionals after sponging the edges since it was a one piece bamboo. The gold paper is a heavy weight vellum - hmmmmm............where did I get this from? Anyway, use a glue pen to attached on top of the Washi paper. The front is popped with dimensionals.

The message is generated from my computer: free font is called "Chow Fun" in 10 pt size. Ping (from Dandelion Designs is also popped with dimensionals

Panda Chocolate Favor

Aren't these Pandas so very cute? They are made from using SCAL (Sure Cuts a Lot program) and are a SVG cut file from Kyoto Kuties. I first saw this free cut file back in July this year from Jin Yong Under A Cherry Tree. You can see the collection currently being used as her blog header. This panda is only one of many cute cut files in this collection. So cute and simple to make. A small punched flower with a gold adhesive Rhinestone is adhered to the center.

Open the front flap to reveal a chocolate................or insert a post-it note............

This is how I arranged my 12x12 sheet to cut the pieces here in Black CS

The White CS only need a small amount of paper.

Apply sticky strip to back chocolate holder

Position the white CS on top of the Black using a glue stick. A glue pen and tweezers was used to adhere the small eyes

Thank you for stopping by today................additional projects from this collection will be made and posted soon
