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.

Just For You - Manly Challenge

Hello blogging friends. I thought I would get a jump on my Father's Day cards when I saw that Cheery Lynn was having a Make It Manly challenge. Most of my Cheery Lynn dies are flowers and doilies, but I did think these leaves would work and I did use a doily die to create my sun :) Here is what I came up with for my hubby, who loves to fish.

I love how realistic looking these leaves are when you add a little ink and curl up the tips. This card was made completely with some older Imaginisce papers and some cardstock scraps. I love it when I can use up some scraps.

Now I am going to spend the day planting my garden. Can't believe how late I am getting it in this year. Way too cold and rainy here. Have a great weekend.
