It is Anything Goes!

This week's theme is one of my favorites.  Anything goes.  I like weekly themes because that gives me boundaries.  I need boundaries.  I watch youtube videos and stalk people's blogs and I get so many ideas.  Sometimes too many ideas and I am overwhelmed when I go to my craft room without a purpose.  I need purpose.  :-)  But every once in a while - I like to go CRAZY!

Today's card is one of my favorite types of cards - the box card.  I got this from one of my favorite companies - SVGCuts.com. This design is absolutely gorgeous.  It's been a while since I've made a box card and I'd forgotten how much fun they are to make.

Notice the little itty bitty butterfly brad.  I found that at Stampaway.  So cute.

I drew in the lines.  I also added some white using a white gel pen.  I'm really happy with the way the card turned out.  So happy I have the pieces and parts for 4 more lying around on my desk.  I think I went overboard!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  Tune in tomorrow for some more anything goes fun.

Have a great day and enjoy the journey.

It's Die Cutting Week!

This week's theme is die cutting.  The first example is one of my favorites - a box card.  A friend retired from work last week and loves to play golf.

Here is the card I made for her:

I used my Silhouette Cameo and a cut file from the The Silhouette Store.   Design # 60656.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today.  Stay tuned tomorrow for some more die cutting projects.

Have a great day and be inspired.

It's Easter Week So Let's Celebrate

It is the week before Easter so I thought sharing Easter projects was in order.

I made some cards for a coworker.  I've made a similar card for another coworker, but I added a little birdie to these box cards:

The chick is from Stamps by Judith and Heather.  I used Tombow watercolor markers to color him in.  The pattern paper is by Doodlebug.

Have a great day and where ever you are - be there.

Box Cards but Not Exactly This Week's Theme

I spent a lot of time on Sunday making cards, but none of them went along with this week's theme.  But since I'm in charge (this is the only thing I have any control over) I decided I was going to share my work.

Here is the first card I did for a shower I attended on Saturday.  You can find this in the Silhouette store design #56149.  It is by Lori Whitlock and is called a2 box card:  newborn baby

I used a paper pad with pastels to create this card.  I believe it's by Paper Studio.

Here is another card I made for someone at work - she needed an Easter card.  This is also a cut in the Silhouette Design Store and it is design #56147:

I used Easter paper from Doodlebug for this box card.  The sentiment is by Unity Stamps.

Colossians 1:28  He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.

A Valentine's Box Card

Since this week's theme is embossing and the Valentine box card I made for my husband has no embossing and I usually don't post on Sunday - I am sharing this card today.  Shew!  That was a mouthful.

I used a cut file from SVGCuts.com which happens to be a free gift with purchase right now.  Check it out - the box cards have hearts, but could be used for occassions other than Valentines.

I just love the box cards from svgcuts.com.  Mary pays such attention to detail in her designs.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today.  Tune in tomorrow for projects featuring embossing.

Have a great day and where ever you are - be there.

Hebrews 4:12  For the word of God is alive and active.  Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow;  it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
