Hello!

Supplies: Paper: Papercut: cream, Crumb Cake, Basic Grey 6x6 Hey Girl!  Accessories: Silhouette Image: Lori Whitlock Quote Bubble, dimensionals
 
I have been wanting to make a card, and yesterday I organized my space so I have a table top again.  This made it a lot easier to make a card!  I saw this card sketch, and went from there.  I hopped onto the Silhouette Design Studio and created the card front.  I only cut out three of the circles from the card front, and then popped that piece up for dimension.  I cut out some circles from coordinating papers, then I was trying to decide what to do for the sentiment.  I have been seeing conversation bubbles on a lot of cards lately so off to the online Silhouette store I went.  I found this cut file.  I popped this up on the card too. 
 
I never would have come up with this on my own, thank goodness for card sketches! 
 

 
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Scalloped Hexagons, Oh My!

Supplies: Stamps: Hero Arts  Paper: Papercut Whip Cream, blue cardstock from Hobby Lobby, Basic Grey patterned paper pack 6x6 Hey Girl  Accessories: Silhouette Cameo hexagon cut file, ribbon
 
Hello Stampers!  School is out for summer, and I have a ton of stuff to catch up on.  But I hope to get some stamping time in, in between projects.  Today I snuck in some time.  I was shopping yesterday and saw a neat die cut that cut out hexagons individually and connected.  It was really neat, I thought I could make that on my Silhouette!  So I purchased Scallop Hexagon Nested Shapes, from the Silhouette online store and got to work.  I scaled it down, connected, and welded, and presto I had the concept of the die I saw yesterday with the bonus scalloped hexagon for 99 cents!  I cut out my pieces and threw together a quick card.
 
Thanks for stopping by!
