Marcia Dehn-Nix <--- You are here!

There are so many amazing new cut files in the shop, like this Santa 3D Snow Globe Card (  SVG / Silhouette )! There are many other snow globe designs so be sure to check them all out.... and there are more coming soon. I couldn't wait to make this one and get a start on my Christmas cards. I used the Echo Park A Lumberjack Christmas collection for my card. I love those plaid snowflakes.

The assembly on this one is a bit tricky and I would suggest you watch Lori's YouTube video tutorial.

Instead of folding to the side as other box cards do, this one folds down to lie flat for mailing.

There's a sale happening in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop!  Use code NOV2020 to get 30% off all SVGs, Fonts and Commercial Licenses!

Also, how about a free file!!  This file is free for today only!  No code or minimum required.

All Who Wander Are Not Lost - Paper Issues

Hello blogging friends!

I am up on the Paper Issues blog today with another Pink Paislee Summer Lights layout. While on vacation in Myrtle Beach South Carolina, I really enjoyed my sunrise walks along the beach searching for shells. I was drawn to this sheet of pattern paper with shells on it and wanted to use it for my background paper.

I used the Paper Issues Cabin Fever FREE cut file and cut directly onto my photo. The "All Who Wander Are Not Lost" fit so perfectly with the footprints left in the sand along the beach. Then I added the Bloom FREE cut file as an embellishment in the corner of the photo.

There are lots of fun beach ephemera pieces in the Pink Paislee Summer Lights collection and the foil accents are so eye catching!

I added a few torn pattern paper strips at the bottom of my page to set a beachy scene and give me some space to journal.

There are lots of fabulous new items just stocked in the Paper Issues Store. Be sure to check them out. Use my coupon code MARCIA20 and save 20%.

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

J'aime Paris, Oui Oui - Clique Kits and a Free Cut File

Hello blogging friends.

The March Clique Kit has a decidedly international flair. It is full of Studio Calico Seven Papers and a few Clique exclusive papers and ephemera die cuts designed by Clique Kits own Inna Moreva. Here is a look...

I set aside some of the French elements and dug out a photo of my daughter and a friend from their trip to Paris last summer. Then I created a cut file, text in a circle to frame the photo; "J'aime Paris, Oui Oui" ( "I love Paris, Yes Yes" ). The script font is called Lobster and is one of my favorites. I am sharing my Silhouette cut file J'aime Paris with you! Just in case any of you want it :) Sorry, I haven't yet mastered how to convert files to SVG. You can download it from Box here. 

The paper with the eyes was one that Inna designed. I guess it could be interpretted as "Go, See, Do". This die cut Eiffel Tower was perfect...

I love this little macaron cookie flair button. Fitting, as I know they ate some macarons there. I also learned something... Macaron cookies and Macaroon cookies basically start out with the same dough... they are baked differently. Macaroons usually will have coconut added while the French add color and roll their dough to create wafer discs.

Be sure to check out the Spring Card Kit available for Pre-orders now! Use coupon code Marcia10 and save 10% off anything in the Clique Store ... like the new PinkFresh Felicity!!

Be sure to check out the Clique Kits March Anything Goes Challenge too. Butterfly Reflections is the sponsor and as always there is a fabulous prize! You DO NOT need to be a Clique subscriber to participate either.

Have a great week!
