Die Cuttin' Divas Things With Wings Challenge




Tuesday has come upon us again, so  it's time for a new challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas!


This week our challenge is Things With Wings.


Our sponsor for this weeks challenge is Pink Bling Crafter

For my project I used a Snapdragon Snippets file from Silhouette Studio

I saw this bi-plane file and it immediately made me think of the Red Baron and Snoopy. I remember as a child watching the Charlie Brown cartoons, Snoopy would get on top of his dog house and try to shoot down the Red Baron.




After cutting out the bi-plane and assembling it I searched for a cut file of the Maltese Cross and found that at Silhouette Studio also. I cut it several times in two different sizes to decorate the plane with.


Then my task was Snoopy. I searched the internet for a JPG of Snoopy wearing his aviator outfit. I imported the image to Silhouette Studio, sized it to fit the plane, made it into a cut file, cut it, assembled and into the plane Snoopy went.





Supplies used: card stock - white, black, red; Silhouette Studio cut files.

My Dad is a big Snoopy fan and I'm giving it to him. Hope he likes it!!!!

Now pop on over to Die Cuttin' Divas and see all the fabulous inspiration the rest of the design team has come up with.

Hope to see you playing along with us!!!!

Summer Lovin Blog Hop

Welcome to the SnapDragon Snippets - SVG Attic Summer Lovin' co-blog hop!

We are super excited to have you join us today!  If you happened across this post out of order, please head to the SVG Atttic blog to start at the beginning of the hop.

We hope you are inspired by the creativity of the design teams of  SnapDragon Snippets and SVG Attic.

Here is the project I created for the hop using two different files by Snapdragon Snippets.


To create the invitation I used June Dozen Squares Quilt Block file #42087.  I changed the sizes so that it would fit on a 5X7 card base. I omitted the cuts that had the holes and replaced them with solid pieces.


I recycled a Starbucks bottle for my drink bottle. I wrapped some coordinating paper around the bottle and I used the watermelon from the same cut file as the invitation, to create the slider for the straw. I simply enlarged it a bit and after I pieced it together I cut a couple of slots for the straw to pass through. 


The darling treat box is created from 3D Watermelon Slice Box file #45154.  It makes a great little box to put some candies or something in and was really quite easy to put together.



I think this makes a fun little set for your next summer BBQ or picnic!!!!
