Wedding Shadowbox

Hello it's Amy and today is my turn to share on the blog.

Before we check out the project just a reminder to grab the Freebie of the Week!

I made a wedding invitation shadowbox for my project.

I put a patterned paper as my background. I then cut the Decorative Square SVG.

I used the offset on my Cameo to create a background. Then I offset it again.

I added foam core under both shapes to add dimension.

I then added foam core under the invite and finished off with some embellishments.

Easter Decor

It's my turn to share a fun Easter Decor project. Who's ready for Spring? I AM!

Before we check out my project don't forget to grab the Freebie of the Day from the Miss Kate Cuttables Website.

Here's my Easter Decor Project:

First thing I did was paint my wooden round. I have been wanting to try the buffalo plaid style for a really long time and finally gave it a try! (Search YouTube for tutorials)

Here's a look at my plaid pattern:

I then planned out my wording and the leaf accents...I wanted to keep them simple.

I used just the "Easter" portion from this Easter Title.

I used the only the green leaf layer from this Spring Wreath SVG.

I placed just the elements I wanted to use in my cameo software and placed the Easter on top of the wreath and subtracted the wreath so they would not overlap. I cut this from vinyl, applied it to the sign and used chalk paint and a foam brush to add the green and pink. 

Since the background pattern was a bit busy I was not happy with the contrast of the Easter and leaves in the wreath. I first decided to do a solid fine point sharpie around the elements then decided to do a line/dot pattern. It's a bit less forgiving and I like the look. 

Here's my work in progress...

I experimented at the top of my sign where I knew my flower and bow would cover up. 

I added my flower and ribbons to the top and placed it on a stand. Super happy and love the bright spring colors.

Bowling, Braces & Burritos!

Sombrero

Fiesta Set

Love String Art

Hello Everyone! I'm sharing a new technique (for me) for my design team project. I will share step by step directions. 

Before we check out my project just a reminder to grab the Freebie of the Day!

For my project I tried STRING ART!

I am going to share the steps I took to create the project:

STEP 1: 

I selected the SVGs. I used the envelope from the Valentine Love Letter Set.

I also used a bold font for the LOVE. You can use the bottom layer of the Valentine Uppercase Alphabet. Once I imported the SVGs into my Cameo Software I converted to dots using the rhinestone feature. I converted the lines to dots. I used .25 spacing.

STEP 2:

I cut vinyl with my Cameo. When I peeled the vinyl from the backer it left all the dots on the backer piece so it was super easy and there was no weeding needed. I applied the vinyl to my board and grabbed by hammer and nails.

STEP 3: 

I nailed in my nails. Using the holes in vinyl as my guide. 

I peeled off the vinyl when I was done nailing.

STEP 4:

I grabbed my yarn (Walmart carries this brand)

I started by securing my yarn on a corner nail and double knotting it, leave a tail. I then went around the outside edge of the design, wrappng around each nail, sort of outlining it, keeping the yarn at the bottom of nail. Once it was outlined I started randomly wrapping the yarn until it was a desired amount of coverage.

Once it was completed I repeated the outline around the shape to finish it off and tied a knot at the nail I started on.

I decided to outline my envelope with black yarn - it helped to make it pop.

This project is time consuming but it was very fun! 

I actually took some iphone videos. Here are the links on YouTube:

Reindeer Sign!

Howdy! It's almost Christmas and I got a bit of craftiness in this weekend. Before I share my project just a reminder to grab the Freebie of the Day from the Miss Kate Cuttables Website.

Here's a festive 11x24 sign I created for my design team project: 

I used the Reindeer Names SVG file.

I also used the Flying Reindeer Set.

Here's my step by step process:

1. First I stained my board and dry brushed over the stain once it was dry

2. Next I cut the file on my Cameo out of vinyl. I weeded out the letters I wanted to paint, applied transfer tape and transferred it to the board.

3. Next I applied chalk paint.

4. Lastly I removed the vinyl.

Hope you enjoyed my project today! Merry Christmas!!

P.S. Please stop by my blog and take a look :)

Merry Christmas Sign

Hello - It's almost Thanksgiving and right around the corner we'll soon be celebrating Christmas! For my Design Team Project I created a wooden sign.

Before we check out my project make sure you download the Freebie of the day!

For my project I used a wood sign I picked up at Target on clearance after last Christmas. It's called a charger.

I initially was going to use the vinyl as a stencil and apply chalk paint but I really liked how the white vinyl looked on the sign.

I used the Merry Christmas SVG. You can grab it here!

I made some fun signs last year on the same charger blanks. 

Here's a link to those if you'd like to check them out.

My boys are starting back to school today and I have a layout to share!
(These are pics from 2017.) I'm pretty caught up on scrapping but not that caught up :)

I used the Miss Kate Cuttables Apple on Books SVG. I only used two of the books for my layout. I added their names and grades to the books with the pen tool on my Cameo.

I used the Miss Kate Cuttables Paper for my project! The papers are AMAZING!

It is called School Days - Paper Pack.

I used a Close to my Heart Flip Flap to add the Back to School Chalkboard.

I also added some photos to back of panel.

Take A Hike!

Hello ~ It's Amy and I'm sharing on the Blog today!

DON'T FORGET 
TO GRAB THE FREEBIE OF THE DAY!

As my son is getting older, he's taking on more responsibilities within his Boy Scout Troop. It's so fun to watch as he takes on leadership roles and helps the younger scouts.

The troop was going working on their Hiking Merit badge and my son Will was in charge of finding the location and making the arrangements.  They even called it the "Will McCabe Hike" :)

I created a 2 page scrapbook layout to capture the memories...

I used the TAKE A HIKE SVG COLLECTION:


How perfect are those files?

Here's the title

Love the Hiking Boots! (also love the photo of the leader and my son looking at the map)

I added the compass as an element - I thought it balanced out the circle on the right page nicely.

Thanks for stopping by today to check out my project!
