Spring Time "Re-Run"

Happy Wednesday!  I'm the featured Design Team member today at the PaperCraftingWorld.com blog.  Today is a bit of a re-run of sorts -- we've been battling the yuck, an overly full schedule and the arrival of Girl Scout cookies.  My 9 year old has sold 400 boxes thus far -- now we just have to get them sorted and delivered prior to our March 1st cookie booth kick-off!  

I shared four different projects that I created back in 2012 with Melin's beautiful cutting files . . .


The little purse treat bag is cut using the Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge.   It is decorated with the Curly Hearts 'n Swirls set and the Lacey Heart, Love, Border set.   Here's the link to my original blog post with details.



I used the Cricut Cake Basics cartridge and the PCW Celebrate Sophisticate cutting file for this beautiful card.  Here's the link to the original blog post.  


This card is one of my favorites and it features the PaperCraftingWorld.com cutting file entitled Birdcage Swirls and Flowers.  I also used the Cricut Cindy Loo ("Peace") and Cake Basics cartridges (leaves).  Here's the link to the original blog post.


And finally, this sweet little card I made for my Mom.  I used the Hibiscus Flower and Butterfly 811 cutting files from  PaperCraftingWorld.com.  I also used elements from Cricut's Cake Basics and Just Because Cards cartridges.  Here's the link for my original blog post.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hope you have a wonderful week.

Watch out for the "Love Bandit" . . .

. . . he'll steal your heart!

Happy Wednesday!  I am the featured designer today at PaperCraftingWorld.com and I'm sharing this super cute "Love Bandit" card I created using two adorable PCW cutting files.


My card measures 8 1/2" tall by 5 1/2" wide and is a hot pink card stock by Recollections. The mat is a piece of patterned paper I've had for years -- I believe it is a Karen Foster Designs paper.  The quote block is another oldie-but-goodie pulled out of my stash.  It is "Passion" quotes by Around the Block Designs.

Here is my recipe:

  • My raccoon measures 4 1/2" tall and is from PCW's My Lil' Love Bandit Set.  I added detailing with rubber stamp inks, chalk and pens.
  • The white mat is from the Sure Cuts A Lot banner and tags library and is cut at 4 1/2" wide.
  • The sweet heart banner at the top is from the PCW Key 2 My Heart Layout Set.  I welded two pieces of banner together to span my 5" mat paper.  A little inking and some ribbon completed it.
Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my Valentine's Day card!  Make sure you check back later in the week to see who my Blog Hop winner is!
