Ahoy Matie ~ with Cyndy G

Good morning crafters.  I hope your weekend is off to a good start.  I'm looking forward to mine because after weeks of temperatures in the 90s our highs are only going to be in the 70s today!  To kick off the weekend I want to share some of the new box cards.

The first card I'm going to share is The Gumball Machine Box Card.  I have never seen another like it.  This card is sure to impress.  You can even add a gumball under the dispenser if you would like!  It is bright and cheery.  It is quick and easy to put together, the panels on front are layered to create the stripe effect so there are no small pieces to handle, even a child can assemble it.

The next two cards I'm going to share with you I have been thinking about for long time.  These are great for themed parties.  Obviously, a pirate theme but they could also work for a Harry Potter theme or how about an escape room party.  There are so many uses for these cards.  Up first is the Treasure Box Box Card.  It's full of jewels and lots of gold and has a treasure map shaped sentiment panel on the back.

Finally is the Pirate Ship Box Card.  This is another unique card.  The ship is crashing through the waves.  I curved the sails at the bottom with my finger to give them a little more dimension.  There is a little movement in the sails.  The card has a support "beam" that prevents the sails from flopping over.  TIP:  Use good card stock for the base of the sails so your card will stand tall. 

 Aye Aye Captain.

I hope you enjoy all the new cards.  I look forward to seeing what you do with them.

She's Having A Baby ~ with Cyndy G.

Having a baby is such a joyous time for a family.  I have had and continue to have a great deal of joy watching my children grow but I admit I love the "baby stage" the best.  For me there is nothing better than rocking a baby while they sleep on your shoulder.  Today I have a project to share that I made for very special members of our SVG Attic family, Mike and Kenzie.

I love the soft baby blues.  I used some older Making Memories, Pitter Patter paper I had for the bunny and the stunning paper on the card is Maja Design, Vintage Baby.

For the base of the card I used the Step Card SVG Collection.  

I modified the width of the right side slightly so it would look more like a dresser.  

To make the dresser I used some basic shapes.  I used the rectangle for the dresser and drawers and interstate sign for the molding on the bottom of the dresser.

The carriage and rocking horse I used are in the SDS Rockabye Baby Cards kit.

The teddy bear is in the JGW 3 Stockings kit.

I just love this JGW 3D Button Jointed Bunny.  I wanted to soften his features so I used Brown for the eyes and nose.  I would recommend this kit to anyone wanting to make an impression with paper crafting.  He is worth the time.  I have made two of these so far and I think I will make more!  

If you want to try one with a pattern paper take your time to think through the direction of the pattern on each piece so you can configure it the right way on your cutting mat.

He even has a cute little tail!  I hope you have enjoyed seeing my project as I had making it.
Congratulations Mike and Kenzie!
