Somebunny Special and a Freebie

Happy Friday!

Since last week was new release week for My Creative Time, I didn't get a chance to have a freebie svg file. I decided that it would be fun to have two freebies this week. 

Today's freebie is a HK bunny file and my friend Cathy is guest designing today as well.

I think her card darling!!! 
I love how she created a scene and that she added the stickels to her bow and the eggs.

I made a shaped card.

3-d Wednesday with My Creative Time

Happy Wednesday!

Today is 3-d Wednesday over at My Creative Time. It is also my SIL, Cynthia's, birthday! I thought that it would be fun to incorporate a few of her favorite things into today's project, since it's her birthday.

I bought her a Starbucks gift card, but you know me... I couldn't just hand her a card with the gift card inside.
  5-5
So I dressed it up a bit. I placed it inside a coffee cup and decorated the outside of the cup with a festive cup wrap. The cup wrap can be removed and placed on the morning coffee that she purchases with her gift card. So fun right!?! So who's making me one for my birthday? Cause I want one too! :)
7-7
I love...love the ease of using My Creative Time dies.

Sweet Wishes

Happy Friday!

I have a quick shaped card for you today.
10-10
Shaped cards are relatively easy to make. You piece your shape together on your mat, be it Silhouette Studio, SCAL, or MTC. Size it to the size you want and then create a shadow layer around it, I prefer .1425". Then weld two of the shadow shapes together to create the base of the card, at this point you can re-size everything of you need, to get it to the right size.

I love the shape of the card, the crocheted flower, and the sweet pearl buttons.

I made a shaped card too.

4-4
My card measures 4.2" x 5.25". The card base is two shadow layers welded together, this was done on my Gypsy. The polka dot inset piece measures 3.8"x 4.9" and the plaid piece measures 3.2" x 4.3". I cut my kitty at 3.75".

True Love - Designer's Challenge

Happy Thursday!

Today is the start of a new Designer's Challenge on the My Creative Time blog. The challenge is to use embossing, heat or dry...or both! I'm really bad about using my embossing folders, so I broke them out.

I really love this heart embossing folder, truthfully, I think it's the first time I have ever used it. I think I am going to leave my folders next to my cuttlebug, hopefully, that will help remind me to use them more.
12-12
The card measure's 4.5"x 4.5". The insets are 4.25"square and 4" square. The bear was sized to 3" tall.
