Carousel ~ with Cyndy G

Happy Friday!  Today I am sharing a project from SVG Attic.  The bag and boxcard from CG Carousel Dreams.  It is my favorite kit I've created.  I just love the look of everything!  I decided to use some "boy" colors and I must say I love how everything turned out!

You could definitely use this for the special little man in your life!

The paper I used is Echo Park - Once Upon A Time, Prince.  I just love the colors of this paper.  It gives everything a very princely feel :)

Thank you for stopping by.

Carousel Dreams ~ with Cyndy G

Good morning.  Thank you for stopping by.  Today I am sharing a new kit in the SVG Attic Store that I created, CG Carousel Dreams.  I hope you love it as much as I do.  I used Authentique Imagine.  It is beautiful paper that fit my vision perfectly!

This card has an insert that pulls out.  

Mine is white on the opposite so that a message can be written.

On my boxcard I popped the gold trim on top of the carousel and the mirror with some foam tape to give the card a little more dimension.

The Horse centerpiece looks stunning and it is very easy to assemble.  The base pieces all fit inside one another (three pieces) then you insert the post, I filled the bottom third of mine with glass beads for weight, and glue the finial on top.  Once you have your horse assembled you glue her to the front.

This little treat bag is one piece and goes together very quickly.

Finally, my favorite piece in the kit.  The carousel gift bag.  

This bag is stunning and can be decorated, like shown or it can be left in a solid color.

It looks beautiful either way.

I would love to see your versions of this kit.  

Please share them on our facebook page or our facebook fan page.

Thank you for stopping by.

Pink Carousels ~ with Cyndy G.

Hello crafty friends.  Thank you for stopping by today.  I know I am a little late with the blog post but I have been very busy putting the finishing touches on a new kit that will be out very soon.  Carousel Dreams.  I just love how everything is coming out.  Today I am going to share two of the pieces.  A gift bag and treat bag.

The paper is the beautiful Authentique - Imagine Collection.  I also used some Tickled Pink Trendy Twine and ribbon I had from 3 Girl Jam.

The gift bag is 9.5" tall and 3" deep.  I used foam tape to pop up my Ferris Wheel and 

I attached the wheel with a brad so my wheel will spin.

The treat bag is 4x3x2.  This bag can be cut on 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.  I hope you will love this kit as much as I do.  Thank you again for stopping by.

Carousel Ride

Whew, what a week so far.  My husband and I took some well deserved time to ourselves for the past few days (thank you Mom), only to return home in time to send the kids to school for their first day of school!  We went to one of our favorite places, Charleston.  I hope I will have time to post some of my pictures tomorrow.

I also returned in time for the release of svgcuts newest kit Carousel Ride.  I have been trying to create a carousel myself for some time now.  Thank you Mary for finishing the job for me!  I have to admit, yours worked out much better than mine.  The file is actually made as a cupcake holder.  I changed mine to be just a carousel, I didn't have time to bake today.

This file really tested me.  The top was a little tricky.  I love the way it turned out, here are some pictures:

For the placement of the poles I added a small circle (.108) in center of each circle meant for the cupcakes.  This then allowed me to keep the horses space equally.  I also added the holes to the top liner so the poles would be straight.  To do this I centered the bottom piece (grouped) on the mat, ungrouped the bottom pieces, grouped all the small holes together, copied and pasted in place, with the small circles still selected hold down the shift key and select the bottom liner and group together, move this piece off the mat.  You should still have the small circles centered on the mat.  Next, center the top piece, select all the small circles and top piece and group together.  Now the top should line up with the bottom and you will have guidance for placing the poles.

To hold the poles in place I filled the little holes with glue then stuck the poles on.  You have to make sure to let them dry completely or they will move.
