Whatever Wednesday

It's another Whatever Wednesday over on My Creative Time blog.  

My daughter's best friend moved and I thought to make them each a frame that they can display in their rooms to remember each other. (fortunately she just moved down the street so they can still see each other, just not everyday!)  I used the same paper line from the layout I did of these two cute girls and covered a couple of DIY frames.  The girls were thrilled with them!!

 Love the new butterfly dies!!  I added Stickles to the wings for a girly shine.

 I altered the "best friends" title I cut out on the silhouette by adding the stitched flowers and leaves of Emma's ~ love it!!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!  Today is Whatever Wednesday over on My Creative Time blog. 
Today I made this Easter Bag to give to the Teachers.  I found these cute little Kraft bags as a set at Target and then cut a "window" to show the chocolate eggs!!  These bags are only 5x4 but they are actually a little bigger once opened as I used a whole bag of chocolate eggs and I'm going to need more to fill the bag up!!  I think too my kids have been helping themselves or perhaps the cat ~ lol!!

Close up of the "Easter scene" I made on the bag: 

Products Used:

Paper: misc. scraps

Stitched Grass Die

Surprise Pop-Out Card Die

Curly Label Die

How to cut out a "window":

I used the "insert" part of the Surprise Pop-Out Card die.

 I used washi tape to "hold" the die to the inside of the bag where I want the "window" to be.

 Ran the bag with die through my die cut machine ~ the "cut" surface was face up.

 And viola, you have a "cut-out" in the bag!!

Hope this has inspired you to add a "window" into your projects!!


Another project I've been working on is adding to my wood banner frame ~ made an Easter banner set.  Love the dies that really add so much to an Easter Scene!!

Alphabet die cut letters are awesome but sometimes placing these letters straight can be challenging. I place my letters where I want them, using a t-ruler to get them straight and then I take a piece of removable Scotch tape and place it over my letters.

Once they're stuck to the tape I lift it off and then using a glue pen, I glue the letters. 

I then take the tape and place the letters where I want them, press down on the letters to adhere them and then gently peel the tape away.

Walla, the letters are all placed exactly where I want them and straight!  Hope this tip helps you with die cut letters!
