Die Cuttin' Divas Just Beachy Challenge

Since it is Tuesday is is time for a fun challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas. This week the challenge is Just Beachy.

Our sponsor for this weeks challenge is Digital Delights!

The timing of this challenge worked out just perfect for me!! My granddaughters 4th birthday is coming up in two weeks and she is having a mermaid party at the pool at our clubhouse.

I am sharing her invitation, which I created with a Snapdragon Snippets Silhouette Studio file and her treat box which is also from Silhouette Studio.

Here is the front of the invitation:

And here is the inside of the invitation, which has a pop-up feature:

For her treat boxes I went with a little crab that reminded me of Sebastian in the Little Mermaid movie.

Supplies used: card stock - black, white, green, blues, orange red, green glitter, peach; vellum; patterned paper by My Minds Eye; rhinestone - Kaiser Craft; Silhoutte Studio cut files..

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!!!!

Mario Inspired Invitation

Wow, can't believe it's finally Friday!

I'm looking forward to this weekend, tomorrow is my Grandsons 5th birthday and sure to be a fun time at his "Mario" birthday party.

In honor of his birthday tomorrow I thought I would share the invitations I made for him. My daughter found this great tutorial on how to create a double slider card, you can watch it here.
I used this technique to create my "1 Up" invitations.

I found the graphic for the mushroom on-line.

If you've played Mario you know that when he bumps the question mark boxes with his head a mushroom pops out, and that is what I was going for with this invitation.

When you pull down on the invitation you get the wording on the bottom and the mushroom pokes out the top.

I did have address and phone info, but removed them for this pic.

Supplies used: card stock - white, grey, 2 shades of yellow; Mario mushroom image taken off the internet; font - your choice; plastic bag.

Ladybug Birthday Invitation

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

It's been very hot here the last few days, into the triple digits, and looks like it is staying hot for at least another week. Spending some pool time with the grandkids. Hope you are staying cool!

Today I'd like to share the invitation I made for my granddaughters second birthday. My little bug is having a ladybug birthday party so I came up with this cute little invitation using a cut file from The Digi Chick.

I am entering it into this weeks challenge over at Creative Inspirations Paint which is shaped cards.

Supplies used: cardstock - white, black, red; glitter pearls - Twinkle Goosebumps by Queen & Co.; Black Diamond Stickles; Lacey Circles Nestabilities by Spellbinder; brad - American Crafts; font - Cupcake; svg cut file - The Digi Chick.

Guest designer for We R Memory Keepers

Awhile back I posted a card to the We R Memory Keepers facebook page that I had made with their Peep collection. You can view a picture of it here. Well, I was delighted and thrilled when they contacted me and invited me to be a guest designer for them. They sent me some paper and goodies from their Down On The Boardwalk collection and gave me free reign to create whatever I would like.

I'd like to share the projects I came up with for them.

The first is an invitation which has a slot you can put a small sample size of sunscreen in. I thought it would be so fun for a pool or beach party. The cut file for this is a chapstick card which I enlarged  to 9 X 11.525, so the slot could hold a small tube of sunscreen instead. When closed it measures
4 X 5 1/8 X 1. The title is also cut out with a Silhouette Studio cut file.

I added the cute bottom cut off strip to the right side of the inside. I stamped the invite on patterned paper, matted it and attached to the left inside. The flip flops are a Silhouette Studio cut file.

Supplies used: patterned papers - Sunbathe, Sea Breeze, Gone Surfin and Waves from Down On The Boardwalk by We R Memory Keepers; corner rounder - Fiskars; ribbon - my stash; Silhouette Studio cut files; letter stickers - Authentique; stamp - Hero Arts; suntan lotion.

Next I'd like to share a couple of easy, peasy cards I made. Both using a couple of their darling tags as the focal point of the front of the cards.

Supplies used: cardstock - kraft, brown; patterned papers - Barnacle & Beachball in Down On The Boardwalk by We R Memory Keepers; tags from Down on the Boardwalk by We R Memory Keepers; ribbon - my stash; brads - Basic Grey and my stash; photo corner punch - EK Success.

And, last but not least, I'd like to share a layout:

Supplies used: patterned papers - Barnacle, Coastline, Beach Towel, Gone Surfin, Beachball and Sunbathe all from Down On The Boardwalk by We R Memory Keepers; chipboard stickers - Layered Chipboard in Down On The Boardwalk by We R Memory Keepers; crochet lace - Down On The Boardwalk by We R Memory keepers; circle punches - EK Success; Silhouette Studio Cut Files; sewing machine; rub on - American Crafts; bubble dots - my stash.

This is a super fun line of paper and embellishments, just perfect for any summer themed project you may have in mind. I hope my creations have given you some inspiration of what you can do with these fantastic papers. 

I would like to thank We R Memory Keepers for giving me this wonderful opportunity! It was so much fun playing with all their great products. I am honored that they thought enough of one of my creations to ask me to be a guest designer for them!!

Hop on over to the We R Memory Keepers facebook page, "like" them while you're there and give them a shout out that I sent you.! They have lots of wonderful inspiration for you.
