Day 701

It's hard to believe that is has been 2 weeks since I posted. It truly seems much longer. I have been busy with vinyl projects and with life in general. This bunny basket is a file from My Scrap Chick . I made the basket on the right kind of following their pattern. They had the eyes and mouth cut from the pink and then a piece cut from black that went behind the head so it showed through the holes cut in the pink. I decided just to cut the face from vinyl. They also had more pieces for the feet and I decided once again to go with vinyl and keep it simple. When it was done I wasn't real fond of it. :O) So the next one I just did the face and then added a name. I think this is what I will do for all of the great nieces and nephews for Easter. The basket itself was cut from cardstock, the rest from vinyl, all using my Klic N Kut Maxx.

Day 700!!!!

This was an oops card. I was cutting a heart that I think was 3 layers and I screwed up with what color the layers were suppose to be. So this card was made using one layer of the heart and a Happy Birthday I had precut. The Heart and Happy Birthday are both cut from vinyl.

Day 699

This card is one of the benefits of making more than one item at a time. When I have to cut a title or an object I generally make as many as I can given the size of the material I have. If 10 birds fit on a 12x12 piece of paper, I cut 12. :O)  So this card was just made with things that I had cut for other projects but had left over. I think the bird was from a site called Precious Piecings by Lisa or something close to that. The bird is all paper, the Happy Birthday is vinyl. Both were cut using my Klic N Kut Maxx!

Day 697

This card is the result of a free file from My Scrap Chick.
The musical notes, all of the  black on the card, and the Happy Birthday are all cut from vinyl, the rest of the card is
coredinations textured paper. The "Happy Birthday" was
Not part of the file. It is Calligrapher font. And of course it was all cut using my KNK Maxx.

Day 693

A combination of old and new. I have so much patterned scrap paper and it seems like it has been ages since I have used any. I had this floral piece sitting out and decided to use it for this card. The center pink was part of a collection of files called tags and I cut it from pink textured Coredinations paper using my KNK Maxx. I also had the Happy Birthday to You cut out (vinyl) and ready to go so it didn't take long to assemble this card.

For those of you waiting for the update here is Tash and her sister Kala. Our visit went very well and we are so happy that they were able to reunite after 25 years.

Day 690

Am I on a roll or what? Another embossed card, this time I believe it is a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The heart was made using a KNK cutting file and my KNK Maxx. The words are Calligrapher Regular cut from vinyl using my KNK. It was all card parts that came together step by step.

Day 687

I don't know who the designer of this file was but I believe it was called Dahlia Frame. The white frame, the Happy Birthday, the black scroll, and the flower center were all cut from vinyl. The black backgroundnand the white and black flower petals were cut from textured card stock. And of course they were all cut using my KNK Maxx. :O)

Day 686

I don't think you can go wrong with a black and white card. This is all card parts thrown together for a sweet Birthday card. The white is all vinyl, the black textured cardstock, all cut on my KNK Maxx!

Day 684

This card was an oops card. When I was cutting my Snow Owl Card from My Scrap Chick I cut all the parts from black thinking they needed a black mat. Well, they didn't so I had a bunch of black owl parts. A normal person would have scrapped them, but I am of the waste not, want not set of mind so there they sat. Of course the wings blended in with the body so I took a grey colored pencil and outlined them to help seperate them visually from the body. He is all paper except for the eyes and the little red heart. The heart was not part of the file but I thought he needed a little something extra. The white on the eyes was done using a white sharpie paint marker. I have had it for several years and it works great everytime I use it. The Happy Birthday is also vinyl.

Day 683

Another Hello Kitty card! I can't tell you how much fun these cards are to make, you just have to try it! This is the only one of my Hello Kitty cards where I used some paper. The black outline is paper, the rest is vinyl. If I had to do it over again the whole thing would be vinyl. And of course the whole thing was cut on my Klic N Kut Maxx.  I am not sure if I will add words to this card or leave it just the way it is.

Day 682

Another Hello Kitty card. I will have a few more in the days to come. If you want the file in KNK I would be happy to send you a zip file with all of the Hello Kitty files.This Hello kitty is also all vinyl and was so much fun to make!

Day 681

Hello Kitty! She is just the sweetest little thing.  She was cut from vinyl and so simple to make. Although she does have a lot of pieces it is so simple to assemble when you don't have to glue.

Day 680

This little guy was just sitting around waiting for a card to call his own. He is cut from textured paper with the exception of his eyes and the orange spots which are vinyl. The Happy Birthday is also cut from vinyl. He is sure to make some little boy happy.

Day 679

This card is a combination of new and Card parts. The Happy Birthday is cut from vinyl. It is the card part. Any time I cut something from vinyl I generally cut about a dozen. It makes it so much easier the next time I want to make a card to have part of it done. I really don't remember where the Happy Birthday file came from but if I had to guess I would say I Scrap Designs  The white scalloped front is from My Scrap Chicks. They have a set of card fronts and matching envelopes that are kind of fun. It seems like in our family we have a minimum of a half dozen Birthdays a month, usually closer to a dozen, so Birthday cards are always in short supply.

Day 678

What was I thinking? I thought this little frog would make a perfect card for some little boy, and then I used a pink background. Oh well, I know a few little girls who like frogs. :O)
The eyes, checks, and Happy Birthday are cut from vinyl, the rest from Coredinations paper. Every thing is cut using my KNK Maxx.

Day 677

More card parts. I had these assembled for over a year. Once again, I can't remember where I bought the file. I do know that it is a zillion little pieces. Look at the little snowflakes on the little girls boots. This was when I had my first "ah ha" moment with vinyl, but not soon enough into the project. Only the little girls jacket zipper pull is cut from vinyl. As tiny as some of the pieces are everything cut perfectly using my KNK Maxx.
The white background paper was embossed using a Cuttlebug.

Day 676

This card may end up being a "Thinking of you" card as the bunny is too solemn looking for Happy Birthday.   :O)   Once again, not sure where the file came from, but it is a peeper ...  meant to be looking over something. She is cut from paper  with the exception of her nose and eyes which are vinyl. I very seldom use "glue" any more. By that I mean a white glue like Elmer's glue. Between vinyl and my Scotch ATG 714 glue roller I have most of my glue needs covered. Glue dots also come in handy at times.

Day 675

Hello Kitty is such a precious little cat. :O) This card was made using a Cricut file and cut on my KNK Maxx. It is one of my most favorite things about my KNK, the numerous types of files that can be used. You don't have to buy cartridges, once you buy a KNK you never need to buy expensive cutting files. WooHoo!                                        

 Hello Kitty is cut from paper with the exception of her bow and nose which are vinyl. A super simple card to make!

Day 674

I am not sure where the file for this card came from. The black fence is vinyl, the yellow windows a light weight shimmery paper, and the rest is coredinations. I usually buy my paper at Joanns when they have a 5 sheets of paper for 95 cents sale. I tend to stock up which can be helpful when you need to make something at the last minute. Where I live the closest paper store is one hour away so I can't just " run to the store". :O) The lettering on the card is all vinyl. The font is Jester, the scrolly font is Robopassion conflict. And of course it is all cut using my KNK Maxx

Day 672

In honor of CAT, a feline being who lives at our house, this is a simple cat card. :O) The cat is black vinyl, the green eyes compliments of a sharpie marker.
