One last March Hip Kits page!

Just stopping in this long weekend to share one last page using the March Hip Kits!! I will be cracking open my April kits and there was so much great stuff in the March kits that I had to make another page.

I have this problem with angles lately... so i used some strips of patterned paper from the kit, along with some new Happy Hues paint from Jillibean Soup for this page. I brushed some of the mint paint behind where my photo would go and went from there.

I added lots of gold rub ons from the Pink Fresh Studio rubon pack in the kit - they go on so great and so smoothly. No breakage on these puppies.

That's it for me today! I am off to make the most of my extra long weekend! I am off until Wednesday :)  :) :) Try not to each too much chocolate!

SCT birthday celebration + freebie!!

Today is the day we say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine!

I was asked to create a free cut file to giveaway to our readers, and for the design team to create with to celebrate... and here it is:

I made a celebration card for this occasion, using some We R Memory Keepers paper, my Technique Tuesday stamps and some double sided adhesive from Silhouette.

I started with the cake shape and cut it from a few different papers in the cut file and layered it all together, adding some diecut candles and double sided adhesive with glitter for the flames!

I finished off the card with some black hemp twine and some epoxy dots and that was super quick !

Another Silhouette Tutorial !

Good morning!! First off, just want to say a big thank you for those that leave me comments - good or bad, I appreciate them! It keeps me blogging :)

I am here today to share a page I made using my Silhouette and a tutorial I did for the Silhouette America blog last week.

I posted a page last month using an intricate design and it was filled with lots of little bits of patterned paper - got a few questions on it, so thought Iwould do a quick tutorial for the blog on how to do that quite easily with your Silhouette!

Here is my page:

It may look complicated, but it really isn't. I hope you check out the tutorial over on the blog HERE (all the tutorials are listed here)

 

The tutorial is on a simple and repetitive design. One where you can see the repetitive pattern. The same process would apploy for busier patterns but just a little more complicated :)

I added in some glittered double sided adhesive to some of the joining parts, and atop some Silhouette gold foil for my title.

Thanks again for stopping by the blog - I appreciate it :)
