Karen's Craft Creations

This week I have been learning to do the new twist pop-up card design.  I recently purchased the Avery Elle; caroling critters stamps & dies. This set is super cute and I thought it would look good on a card like this.  I was right, this came out great.  It was a little tedious with all the folding, but well worth the effort. I got the instruction from Maymay made it Craft.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPrvxgXsyu8. I have seen a lot of these videos, but she made it simple. Check this out: Thanks for stopping by and hope you try this card design too.

This week I am working on getting some card together to give to a friend. I recently purchased the Tim Holtz wildflowers thinlits.  This a DCWV paper pack is several years old, t he frame is a Silhouette cut. I cut the wildflowers twice and then cut the top to add to the green.  I love the way this turned out. Hope you come back again.

This week I am working on making boxes for the grand kids. I found a file I liked in the Silhouette design store, 57567.  I used some digital paper files and made the box 3 times. It cut beautify and went together very well.  I covered the window with acetate and then filled it with candy eggs.  The kids loved them, I know their teachers will to. Hope you enjoyed coming by, see you again soon. http://cardztv.blogspot.com/2017/03/cardz-tv-anything-goes-designers_31.html

Today I am making another valentine card. I got this one from the design store and then used digital paper from Miss Kate and 2 others. I have really been into using print and cut lately. I just like the way you can always find the right colors to fit my mood that day. I have several sets from Miss Kate. I took an envelope file and cut the top off, trimmed the sides, added color and then cut as 2 pieces.  I really like the way it turned out. Thanks for coming by, hope to see you again soon.  The Silhouette store file numbers are Card 176947, hearts 25254 and envelope 50777.

It has been a while between post.  I have been busy with cutting vinyl initials and names for cups. I purchase most of my vinyl in bulk from Amazon; however, I picked up some foil during a sale. It looks fabulous.  It cut and applied wonderfully.  I have a big cold-1 cup and just had to share how it turned out. Thanks for stopping by and hope you come again.
