Sewing Machine

....."Miss you sew much"!  I made into a shape card in SCAL. I also put a shadow around several pieces when in SCAL.  I opted to use white ink for the design bar.  I added a pearl, inking, and thread for fun.  I hope you enjoy as much as me.  I love comments.

OWH Challenge #25

       This is my first challenge with OWH (Operation Write Home).  This card is also a "bookmark" for two people.  It has perforated lines on both sides.  The owl say, "Whooo loves you!" 

And, the inside says, "I DO!!!" ...with a lovely little English rhyme about a wise old owl.  My intention was for the bookmarks to be a constant, happy reminder of the one they love.

(I will have new svg later today.)

A Minion...they are everywhere!

.......cute little characters, cute movie!  The hair is simply decoration.  I would take it off in SCAL 2 and just draw the hair or use textured thread. Use a little shadow on pants and add buttons for trousers and he's set.  ENJOY!  Would love your  "comments".

Clam Secret

       I just got back from the beach.....WONDERFUL! We had a surprise party for my brother and I was asked to make an invitation with a clam theme since we were going to have a "clam boil" in Little Compton, Rhode Island.  This is the card that was sent out to 30+ people.  Everyone kept the secret and my brother was surprised! I put diamond glaze on the lines to give it the feel of having clam ridges and made a little shadow to give it depth.

Stress wouldn't be so hard to take....

       ".....if only it was chocolate covered."  I also changed it up to say, "Another birthday could be easier to handle...if only it was covered in chocolate."  (These open up.) This was a purchase from My Scrap Chick called Ice Cream Bar.  They have had some super sales.

I usually post an svg and then display how it can be used in a card.  It really helps some people take a plain looking svg and then see how it can be turned into something fun and interesting in a card. But, I'm traveling today and will not be home till Friday.  Off to the beach I go!!!!  Yippee    I will post svgs still, but no cards.

I had big plans for this "Scales of Justice", but can't do a card while I'm away!

It's clear as a BELL....

.....it's been too long since our last visit! At least, that's what I wrote.  There are many sayings that you could use. I did another for a friend's office.  It says, "Please ring the bell for assistance".  Very basic, but very needed.  Again, I turned this into a shape card.  It's hard to see the embossing on the bell body and the shiny gold mirror paper for base and bell ringer.  Enjoy!  Please leave comment if you choose to download!

Toaster...you always pop up....

.....just when I need you! A cute cliché with a toaster stamp from Stampin Up and face from Peachy Keen Stamps.  I made the toaster svg.  I decided to make it a shape card.  I simply put 2 bodies together in SCAL 2, welded, then did a (rounded) shadow.  I decided to do a shadow around the dial and lever too for the pieces to "pop".  The card size is an A2.  You can always stretch the sides to make longer.

Cool

       My sister-in-law's mother will be 71.  She is a pretty cool lady.  I used  Breezy Backyard Lever Card Collection from Svgcuts.com.  The stamp is from Stampin' Up.

       I usually post a svg, so here it is.  Several people have ask for medical apparatus.  I'll be adding some more in coming days and weeks.

Flower (2 petal) card

     I can't take full credit for this sweet little card.  Jeannie at Dragonfly Journeys  had a flower card posted on Splitcoasters last year.  I couldn't download it and it wasn't an svg.  So, I had to start from scratch....draw and design and then I added a little bit more and also made it into an svg.  It was hard getting a good picture, but I didn't want to "squash it" in the scanner.  It measures out to a 5 x 5. As you can see, it opens up to give you a place to write your sentiment.  I will put the sentiment to the left and leave more room to write my personal message. (PS: The dragonfly is from SVGCUTS.)

Extra help putting together directions:  Once I folded on dashed lines, I glued the smaller petals on the back of half circle, then glued the larger petals behind the smaller petals.   I then put the 2 half circles touching each other and "pressed down" trying to keep the back centered.  This resulted in the 2 3/4" square left to write on for a message.

Frog ...Waaaassss uuuuppp!

...that's right.  I see his little tongue stretching out to catch a little snack. Wouldn't a fly, dragonfly, or ladybug on his tongue look cute...or maybe a word?  Remember the term "Wasssss uuuUPPPPP" was being use by everyone about 3 years ago and the "up" was exaggerated?

Gumball Machine

      Actually, I have M&M's inside of mine.  I think everybody at one time has had a gumball machine in their house.  I think it reverts back to fond memories of childhood....nothing wrong with that!   I had fun making this....I hope you have fun creating with it! Comments Enjoyed!

Hang'em to dry!

       I've been so busy making svgs, I haven't made many cards myself. So,  I'm posting the clothes pins and then I'm going to go make me a card and have some fun.  ( For you younger generation people, it's not those cute plastic ones put on cards...clothes pin were big and wood and brown and used to hang clothes out to dry to get that fresh air smell...not really....some of us just couldn't afford a dryer and for some of us, dryers weren't invented yet...haha)

4th of July firecracker

       I enjoyed my Peachy Keen stamp firecracker so much, I thought I would make my own interpretation "svg" to share with friends.  Enjoy...but be careful...pow!

Download:  Firecracker

(SVG will be available for one week...after that, leave comment, and email me and I will send..email is under my profile and I will send...ENJOY!)

PS Earlier today the card was dedicated to my brother.  What I did not mention was that it was a Svgcuts.com card from the set called Cliff's Clubhouse. A forum friend "Becker" inspired me with her version.

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAY !!!

       Yes, many of you are expecting an svg this morning, but it will be after 5:00 today.  You see,  today is a special day....it's my brother Ray's birthday.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAY!!!!!.  We are sorry that we can't be with you in person to help you celebrate, but we are with you in mind and spirit.

The card will be there when you return from Switzerland.  We hope you are enjoying your MP3 speaker wires, and your bags of trail mix.   Well, we hope the latter is gone because it might be yucky by now...haha

Bath Tub and bubbles

       I love these old claw leg bath tubs.....wish I had one.  And YES....I have seen them outside with all sorts of things in them.....children, flowers, ducks and used as a water trough for cows...haha

The tub svg was my creation.  The bird is from My Scrap Chick, and the sign is a digi stamp from Digi Scrap Kits (Trina Clark and Friends)

The birdbath came from Svgcuts.com set called "My Happy Garden Hideaway" collection and the tree stem from "Harvest Hill Farm" collection.

Scalloped Small Envelop

       I use this little envelop for so many things.  Below is just one example.  You could remove the circle and fold the top flap over to make a tiny closed envelop.  You can remove the dashes before cutting...they are just to guide where the folds should be...sometimes a little cut helps. The fold does NOT go around to the back, but rather folded in and glued to the inside. ( The second pic is how it would look in SCAL 2, but can be cut with any machine since it is an svg.)  The dimensions are 2.60 x 4.60, but they grew in Scal 2 to 2.62 x 4.65 and both work fine. (This was like my old sizzlit that died on me a while back, plus I couldn't resize when I wanted to, so this was the next best solution.)

I'm Hooked....

 ....on card making and buying svgs and stamps from some of my favorite places!

DOWNLOAD:  Fishing rod, hook and worm ...upon comment being left..thanks so much!

(The fishing line is simply for looks. On my card, I would use some type of string or embroidery thread.)

     I wanted to start designating Sundays to displaying cards that I have made using svgs other than my own.  Today's cards were made using Svgcuts.com set called Breezy Backyard lever Cards Collection and the fire cracker from Peachy Keen Stamps.  I made the stars for the 4th of July card. If you haven't checked these sites out, you're missing out on some awesome svgs and adorable face stamps.
