May - went fast!

I spent a majority of the month playing with some new ideas -- and grateful to have finished most of them.  

Most of the finished designs are based on finds at Pinterest.  

Late in the month finish... a cute little flip top box with a mini-album insert.  Scraps used for all.  The paper is from Echo Park's Let Freedom Ring collection.  I did create the star cut border using SCAL.  There's some foiling and stamping in this album as well.  

Mo's Digital Pencil is the creator of the above image.  It's so cute and can be adaptable to most anyone's birthday celebration!  

Another image from Mo's Digital Pencil.  It was the perfect image for an upcoming birthday!  

With Father's Day just around the corner, this fun print and cut and digital colored image from Polkadoodles helped create this fun card for the guys in the family!  I hope they like them.  

Two of the boys have birthdays near the first of the month.  This quick make was perfect for them and includes use of scraps, print and cut and cut using the Skycut and SCAL 5 Pro.  I'm really happy this came together quickly and I'm looking forward to using this file again soon with a different color scheme.  

I made a stack of 18 of these to send out in June.  The digital image was from Polkdoodles (Spring bundle).  I used some old spellbinder border dies and created the ENJOY using a font and a few small rectangles to connect "the dots" if you will.  The word is cut on the skycut and the sentiment on the inside was a print using SCAL as well.  

May was busy -- and June is already filling up with plans for creating.  I'm definitely looking forward to more creative time this coming month.  How about you?

 

 

Color Splash

Pinterest has been filled with lots of ideas using these dies and other similar dies.  I fell in love with them and decided to create something a little different for my ministering cards this month.  After several ideas just didn't gel - I chose something really simple and I'm very happy I went that route.  I found a quote that would go with it.  

I used several Tombow markers and a silver paint pen to color all the elements.  The tag was created using a shape in the SCAL library.  The text was created using Type-writer 1 a font from Creative Fabrica and sized to fit in the tag.  Set the text to print and then followed the prompts in the software to do a perfect print 2 cut.  Tied a tag to each of the assembled paint brushes with some twine.  

Things are pretty dry here and every burst of color from a flower or a tree is a welcome sight!  Hoping we'll get some more rain soon.
