Celebrate - Miss Kate Cuttables

 Hello everyone!

I have long been a fan of Miss Kate Cuttables cut files, but did you know she now has a monthly subscription box? She asked me if I would help her promote her new monthly subscription kits and I jumped at the chance. She sent me the April Birthday Wishes kit and I couldn't wait to play with it. Want to see what is in the kit? Watch my kit unboxing here ... 

I love the bright happy colors and whimsical animals in the kit. In addition to the pattern papers, the kit includes a pack of coordinating solid colors. They cut beautifully with my Silhouette Cameo and my metal dies. Here is a process video of a birthday layout for my grandson's first birthday party.  I cut out tons of stars using nested star metal dies.

I also wanted to make some shaped birthday cards using some Miss Kate Cuttable cut files. The solid coordinating colored paper really came in handy for these.

Subscribe / Shop here - https://www.misskatedesigns.com/ The Basic kit is $24.99 and includes 20 sheets of double sided pattern papers, die cut ephemera, and a sticker sheet. The Cardstock Lovers kit includes everything in the Basic kit plus 32 sheets of coordinating solid colored pattern papers. You can even skip a month if you think you will be too busy or are out of town. Email questions to misskatecuttables@gmail.com

Go check out her kits, you won't be disappointed.

Once again I am in need of a masculine birthday card. When I saw the Summer Vacation Bronco Box Card (SVG, Silhouette) I knew I could repurpose it into a birthday card.

I needed a masculine birthday card so I decided to make the Happy Birthday Balloons Double Slider Card (SVG, Silhouette). I used the Lori Whitlock A Magical Place pattern papers from Echo Park.

When you pull the tab, balloons rise above the Happy Birthday Sentiment.

So fun! This cut file includes the Happy Birthday To You sentiment. You can print and cut it out or use a stamped sentiment or die cut ephemera piece instead. I used a white gel pen to add highlights to my balloons and added a few star stickers.

Birthday Pop-Up Card With Dog - Lori Whitlock

 Hello everyone! 

I thought I would get a jump start on some of the birthday cards I will need in the coming months. My daughter is turning 30 at the end of the month! I can't believe it!! Since she is a veterinarian and partial to dogs, so I thought I would make her this Rectangle Pop-Up Dog Birthday Card (SVG, Silhouette).

The card is shown in Lori's store in bright boy colors, but I wanted my card to be girly. My daughter's favorite color is pink, so I select a pretty pink pattern paper from the new Lori Whitlock Birthday Girl collection from Echo Park Paper to use for the card panels around the base. I also used die cut ephemera from the same collection for the sentiment on the card front. You can use the print and cut feature to use the Happy Birthday sentiment that comes with the cut file instead if you desire. The balloons were cut with paper from the coordinating Birthday Girl solid color paper pack. I inked the edges for dimension and added highlights with a white gel pen. With a black marker, I even added strings for my balloons.

The back side of this card is just as adorable as the front ...

This card folds flat for mailing in a 5.5" x 6.5" or bigger envelope. There is a super cute cat version of this card as well. Be sure to check it out in Lori's store.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great week!

I am always in need of birthday cards and I needed one for a special lady who is a cat lover like me. I decided to modify this Valentine Shopping Bag Cat Box Card (SVG, Silhouette) so I could use it for a birthday.

I removed the "LOVE" on the shopping bag and replaced it with "HB2U" (Happy Birthday To You). Did you know Lori Whitlock has some fabulous fonts for sale too? I used the Lori Whitlock Fun Font (SVG, Silhouette) for the HB2U letters.

Happy Day Flower Truck Box Card - Lori Whitlock

Hello blogging friends! 

September is my sister's birthday month so I wanted to make her a special card. I love box cards because they can double as decor as well. I settled on this gorgeous Happy Day Flower Truck Box Card by Lori Whitlock (SVG, Silhouette). This can sit on her counter for a week or more along with a vase of flowers and remind her how much she is loved.

 

I added some dimension to it by adding enamel dots for my flower centers.

 

Isn't this card so pretty! It does fold flat for mailing so no excuses there. Go check out all the box cards in the shop and give one a try. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Have a great week!
