One for the man in your life!

Hello crafty friends,

I'm back to share my latest Hybridchick post - it's a great mini album I made for my husband - originally for Father's Day but ended up giving it to him for his birthday.

I chose the gorgeous manly digital paper from SAS Designs and loved the combination of colours and elements in the kit. 

The file is a Lori Whitlock file (yes I use her files a lot - they are very easy to use). The file is called 'Hidden Binding Suitcase Mini Album' and can be found in the Silhouette Design store.

First I chose which patterns I wanted to use and laid them out on screen. I selected the print and cut feature and sent the file to my printer (I use a large format Pixma Canon iP8720).

fter the printing I cut the file out on my Silhouette Cameo machine and then also cut out the rest of the file pieces using plain brown cardstock.

I selected all my printed pattern pieces and attached them to the suitcase base and then glued and assembled the inside pieces.

After the whole suitcase file was assembled I slid in the printed inserts and decorated the handle, the front panel and completed the rest of the suitcase.

I used Mod Podge Dimensional Magic to give the #1 badge a raised glossy look and added some velcro to close the suitcase flap. I added sparkly white and teal enamel dots to complete the handle.

Thank you for visiting today! Please visit The Digichick for this great product, new in store products and other featured products.

Happy Crafting and have a wonderful day!

Some crafting goodies!

Hi Friends,

I've been 'missing' from my craft room lately and had a few minutes to get into my space and do a bit of tidying up ... not much got done as I was distracted when I found some stash to admire ;-).

I did find some gift tags and a Father's Day card (now birthday card!) that I'd already completed so I decided to share those with you today!

The gift tags are from Dreaming Tree and are a free file called Blossom Tag:

Aren't they so cool!? 

The Fathers Day card from Lori Whitlock (as previously mentioned one of my favourite designers) was also a freebie at the time and is available at the Silhouette Store for $1.25. I'd made it for my hubby for Fathers Day and forgot about it (my son had given him something else) ... but it's his birthday coming up so we will give it to him then :-)

Thank you for visiting today!

See you soon

Fathers Day Card!

I created a 'workbench' card yesterday from the Silhouette Store by Lori Whitlock, and my son thought it was cool and was excited to give it to his Dad for Fathers Day!
I shared the card on a few Facebook groups that I belong to which I know no one else can see unless they belong to that particular paper group ... well I made the mistake of also posting the card to Lori Whitlock's Facebook page which I now realize is 'public' ... oooops!
So last night hubby mentions that the card is nice and asks if I made it ... double oooops!

Happy Early Fathers Day James ;-)
