Something New and Easter Bunnies!

I took a leap of faith today! I tried something new and made my first heat transfer vinyl project! Just in time for Easter too! I couldn’t be more excited with how stinkin’ cute these turned out! My girls are gonna flip out when they see these!

I’ve seen different projects around Pinterest, so when I saw these little bunnies at Target I knew they would be perfect for my first project! The best part!? I love how quick and easy they were to make! I have no idea why it took me so long to work with heat transfer vinyl, it is super easy to work with! Both projects took me less than an hour to make!

I can wait to see what else I can customize! There are so many different types of heat transfer vinyl ~ smooth, flocked or fuzzy, and glitter, yes, GLITTER!! With all my girls, you know I am all over that!!

Interested in the vinyl I used, you can find all the products in my shop!

A Weekend of Love

Just a quick note to say Hi and hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day and are enjoying your three day weekend!

My weekend started off by going to a workshop, Cupid’s Workshop to be exact! A bunch of crafters got together and made handmade Valentine’s to take to our Senior Citizens in the area! I pre cut a few cards out to be a little more prepared, not to mention two out of the four girls tagged along.

My favorite card, so cute and so simple! I used the Love Bug Folder card, you can get the file here!
With a little sticker bling, some pop dots I am sure this made someones day!

Mailbox Card

I came across this card this week on Pinterest! Everyone who knows me knows how excited I get over crafting and creating! When I saw this mailbox I knew I had to have the file! It’s almost like it spoke to me “Andrea, please make me, make me!!”… LOL Handmade cards are so much fun to make and to receive! This is part of a kit over at SVG Cuts, it’s the Hearts Aflame Box Cards, you can get yours here! I can’t wait to share the rest of the kit with everyone!

For the mailbox card, I used a little bit of everything. I had some paper from My Minds Eye and one of my favorite card stock is the Recollection from Michaels. It is not too thick and it is not too thin, perfect for scrapbooking and card making. One of my favorite tools for putting adhesive on the tiny parts is my Xyron Sticker Maker…If you have never used one, you need to have this in your tools. You won’t regret it! Feel free to add a note and share your thoughts! I’d lover to hear from you!!

Handmade Gifts…Are the Best!

Christmas is over and 2015 is coming to an end…didn’t it go by SO fast!!? This year I was lucky enough to give some special gifts for Christmas. As my nieces get older they are getting harder and harder to shop for. One of my nieces got new bedding for her bedroom. Her walls are a pretty teal and her new bedding is yellow and gray with a little teal accent. My sister suggested I get something for her to hang on her wall. I looked and looked but couldn’t find anything I was happy with! Then it hit me, MAKE HER SOMETHING! Duh…seriously.

I found the perfect frame at Joanne’s and I had the background paper in my stash. I used Wordle to create the word cloud with her name and meaning. Then I rearranged it a bit in InkScape and saved it as an .svg file to cut out in my Silhouette Cameo. Once I put it all together, the frame was missing something. The blank white mat was bugging me…it was too plain jane for my taste. I had corresponding paper to the yellow background with, yep you guessed it, teal circles. PERFECT!! My niece was very happy with her gift.

My wonderful, amazing friend Leslie, gave me the idea for a gift for my almost 18 year old niece. And what a fantastic idea it was! She loves jewelry so I knew this was a perfect gift for her. I found a simple white ceramic square bowl at Target. I cut out the vinyl in my Silhouette and then added that extra personal touch by adding her name to the dish. What a fantastic and functional gift to give! She LOVED it!

A Christmas Village

Every Christmas we decorate our foyer. This year we added these little trees we got on clearance after Christmas last year. After the decorations were up, my husband said something was missing. The trees looked great and all but something was missing. He suggested adding a little Christmas village! I knew just the thing! The Silhouette Design Store has these adorable 3D Tea Light Village Sets. I love how they are not too detailed and just enough to where you can add a little something to them.

For our little village, I used the Village Town House and Shops, and the Village Cottage and Barn from the Silhouette Online Store.

Check back soon as we add to our village and watch it grow!
