Shadow box

First, I apologize for my posts being so spotty recently, but I have been CRAZY busy trying to make items and cards for the craft fair I will be selling at in 3 weeks - YIKES!  I ahve TONS of stuff cut, and now the putting together will begin soon!  Here is one thing I got done last night, and it was so simple.  I used black vinyl to make a design very similar to one I saw in an online decor catalog, so I got to work making my own!  I used MTC and Chopin Script font for the wording on each ornament.  Thankfully, the shapes were pretty basic, and I could replicate it rather easily.  The paper inside the shadow box is from SEI Wintersong, which was from last year.



I could not really get a picture that came out well enough to give the full affect - it looks much nicer in person, rather than flat and uninteresting in this picture!  But I think you get the idea.  More to come, so thanks for stopping by today!

More 3-D obsession!!!

LOL, ok here is yet another 3D project!  This was courtesy of a generous SCAL user, who posted this SVG for others' use!!  Head on over to see her at http://www.cheekymagpie.com/?p=58.  Isn't that an adorable website name also??



Anyway, I cut this at 4.5"x6", so it is pretty large.  I used SU designer paper, and a dimensional sticker from Michael's to give it an added touch, and I am trying to think about how to use this!  As of right now, I am thinking of trying to make it into a gift card holder somehow.  Oh well, I'll figure it out, and I will let you know when I do! 

Again, thank you to CheekyMagpie for the posting of this file, and to the fellow MTC user who found it and shared it - such a great crafting community!  Thanks for visiting today.

3D Christmas house

This is actually the house from Handyman, slightly altered.  I took the scallop border from PS and welded it to the roof pieces, to give it a more dressed up look.  I also used a wreath sticker on the door from a Charlie Brown Christmas pack I bought at Michael's, and used a little snow glitter on the roof.  The paper I used is from an SEI pack from last year called Winter Song.



Next one I make will, I will use double sided paper, I think.  I plan on getting some battery operated tea lights, and putting them in there and selling them at the craft fair at my school next month.  This was pretty easy to make, so it should be no problem making a bunch!  Thanks for visiting today!
