Farm Scene Side-Step Card

PAUSE DREAM ENJOY CHALLENGES
Ch# 9 Outdoor Critters
Begins: Monday, Apr 29
Ends: Sunday, May 12

For this challenge I turned to my trusty Silhouette again (I really love that thing)!
The card base is the side step card cutting file from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons. I used Recollections kraft for the base and Disney paper for the panels.

I used a couple of Miss Kate Cuttables files, pig in mud and flowers with fence (includes fences, flowers, grass and cloud).

The barn came from the silhouette store (Design ID #33629) as did the sun (Design ID #17341).

I used the print and cut feature on all my cuts.
I just love this card fold! The depth and layering really make the design pop. I also used a lot foam squares.

Celebrate The Occasion - Clean and Simple

Our challenge for you this week at Celebrate The Occasion is to create a clean and simple projects.

Here is what I made to share with you today.
This birthday card was super simple to make. I took stripes of cardstock,  rolled them tight and used washi tape to secure and decorate them. I hand drew the wicks and flames using my Distress Markers, then took my water brush and went over the flames lightly to create a glow.

And because clean and simple doesn't have to be boring . . .
. . . I decorated the inside too!

Celebrate The Occasion - Tea Challenge

I'm so excited to share the project I made for this weeks Celebrate The Occasion challenge with you! This is the first "big" project I've made with my Silhouette.

I used the Tea For You And Me kit by SVGCuts.com, Dotty For You CTMH paper pack and Bazzill cardstock.

My daughter is super excited to have a tea party with her cousin and a couple of friends from school. So be on the look out for tea cups and other fun accessories!

Be sure to head over to CTO and join us in our Tea For Two challenge this week.

Celebrate The Occasion - Umbrella Challenge

Our challenge for you this week at Celebrate The Occasion is to use an umbrella in your design.
I used elements of the Rainy Day Bear SVG by Miss Kate Cuttables. I took the raindrops and created a repeating pattern for my background. I increased the size of the umbrella, wrapped my card in Stampin' Up twine and used a Lawn Fawn alphabet to create my sentiment tag.

Quick, easy yet bright and cheery. The perfect card to send to someone that might be feeling a little under the weather!

Winners announced in the WINNERS Page Tab of Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges

Here's what I created for this challenge:
I purchased this fun Easter Pop Up Card by Silhouette in the Silhouette Store (Design ID #40066). It's a great card that has the potential, with some alterations, to be very versatile. The best part is that it was so quick and easy to put together.
This gives you a birds-eye view.
I kept the front pretty simple since the inside is what you would display. The egg is a part of the cut file. I used baby blue and frosted lace Stickles to give it a little glimmer and dimension. Then I just added Queen and Co. washi and rhinestones and called it good!
