Takeout Halloween treats

It's time for another Cameo Creations Challenge and this time we are challenging everyone to create projects with "Lots of Candies" (open to your own interpretations, of course!).  For my DT contribution, I went for literal lots of candies - to create Holloween treat giveaways for my kids' friends at school. 

I bought these small takeout boxes already preassembled from Michaels.  The takeout boxes come 6 in a package and came in different patterns but I chose the black and white damask for the ocassion and filled each with 2 small boxes of Nerds and about 10 Starburst candies. 

The tags were by Alaa K (Design ID #32481).  I embossed some top layers with Swiss Dots CB folder and the others with Teresa Collins' Starburst Ebosser embossing folder (loving the Ebosser so far!).  I attached the tags to the boxes with jute twine and attached plastic black and orange spider rings.  Below are some closeups.

Thank you for all that you do

These are a set of thank you cards I've recently created to replenish my stash - you can never have too many thank you cards, right?  I'm linking this project over to the Silhouette Challenges blog for their "welded letters" challenge.  Designed on the Silhouette Studio.  The cards are A2 size, and the base is by Lori Whitlock (Design ID #44886).  All patterned paper mats were flood-filled with digital paper purchased from the Silhouette Store.  The font I used for the "Thank you" was Ravie font (I ungrouped the letters then spaced them to my liking and welded some of the letters together), while the "for all that you do"  was done is Arial font (print only). 

 

 

Here's a peek at the inside, which I kept plain - ready for me to personally address later.  I used the internal offset feature to create the inside mat.  I let the Silhouette Studio faux stitch for me.  The ribbons were from my stash (purchased from Michaels months ago).

Well hey there, bday boy!

 

Hi all!  Sorry for the long absence.  I have been on vacation mode along with my family ;).  I'm hanging out at the Bugbytes today.  Thanks Pam for letting me share my project with the Bugbytes readers once a month!  Today I'm sharing a boy's birthday card I created for my nephew who just turned 5 a few days ago.  This project was designed using the Silhouette Studio and cut with my Cameo. 

The base of the card is a pennant card by Lori Whitlock (Design ID #44887).  I used the internal offset feature on the front layer (in white) to create the faux stitching in black ink.  Then I filled the top layer of the card with the journey dot pattern by KI Memories (Design ID #22078).  I used the Happy Sans font for the sentiment in the front, set the sentiment to print only, flood-filled in black ink.  Below is a screenshot and the page before cutting (I'm using a Cricut mat on my Cameo).

I used the internal offset feature to create the sentiment on the inside of the card (Happy Sans font), as well as the faux stitching, this time in blue ink.  The knight image is a print and cut png purchased from Lettering Delights.  Below is another screenshot and the printed page before cutting.

 

I wanted a layered look for some dimension so I

printed 2 of the knight image.

 

 

And here are some closeups of the final card.  I added some twine too.

Man of Steel easel card

Hi everyone! Today starts a new challenge over at the Cameo Creations Challenge blog.   The theme for the next two weeks is 4th of July.  So get your patriotic hats on and make something for the upcoming holiday and link it up!  I can't wait to see what you come up with. 

For my DT contribution, I created an easel card.  The patriotic plaque is by Megan Hardy Designs (Design ID #28525) and Superman is actually a print and cut by DC Comics (Design ID #32643).   I used the fonts Abbeyline (for the God Bless) and Choppin Script (for the America).  As you can see I used some Card Candies as a place holder for the easel effect.  Below are some closeups.
