Yummy treats! Silhouette Challenges #38

Hello friends,

Thank you for visiting today!

I'm sharing some Lori Whitlock creations with you. Two of the files I purchased from the Silhouette Design store and the third file was a free download from Lori's May 2016 Blog Hop.
If you don't know already, from my previous posts (Easter, Christmas, Father's Day, etc..)  - I'm a BIG BIG fan of her work!!.

Today's project files are the: 3D Cupcake Box, 3D Scalloped Party Favor Box and 3 Flowers.

Lori Whitlock files from the Silhouette Design Store

I chose the paper from my stash and started cutting out the files. I decided to use the same paper for all the boxes and used both sides so that I had the same design but different colours. With the Cupcake Box insert and the flowers I used a plain green and plain dark pink.

I also alternated the flower petal colours and added a coloured enamel dot to finish it off. I altered the template viewing area slightly and added a frame to finish it off.

The little favour boxes can be filled with some yummy candy or any small treat really! One Ferrero Rocher (my favourite) will look really cute in this box. I might gift it to myself if I buy some ... lol! These boxes are small but can be resized if you need a bigger box. 

I hope you enjoyed my scrumptious project. Thank you for visiting me today!

Happy Crafting!

Pink Castle treat!

Hi Friends,

Thank you for joining me today! I have a Castle treat box to share with you for my monthly inspiration over at Silhouette Challenges - Challenge #37 - Anything Goes!

I found this cute castle treat box over at the Silhouette Design Store by a designer called Studio Ilustrado who you can also find on Facebook. After choosing my cute glitter and dotty paper I cut and glued it together.

I filled it up with a few cute pink treats for a sweet, strong, little girl in my sons school who is going through a hard time with Epilepsy and I hope this would just take her mind off things even for a little while.

I wrapped it up and tied with a ribbon and added a watermelon card that I had left over from another project.

I hope you enjoyed my project. Thank you for visiting today!

Happy Crafting!

Baseball Season Starting soon!

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my April (Challenge 36) DT post for Silhouette Challenges - today I'm sharing a sweet Baseball treat box with you.

Since moving to Canada, baseball has been a new sport for my family. My son played T-ball for two years and this year he will be playing Rookie Ball for a new team. To be honest I've no idea of the rules but I think it's such a cool sport and I'm excited for the season to start. (And I will be making myself a 'Baseball mom' t-shirt ...lol)!

This file is by Jamie Cripps in the Silhouette Store and is a very easy file to cut and put together. 

Thank you for visiting today!

Happy Crafting!

Silhouette Challenges #35 - Mirror mirror on the wall!

Hello my crafty friends,

Welcome to my March (Challenge 35) DT post for Silhouette Challenges.

Today I'm sharing something that I haven't worked on for a while and decided to try again. Last time I etched it was over a year ago (a glass vase) and my etching cream has been stored away since then.

I decided to test it out so I used my surname initial (D) and the year that hubby and I got married (I still look at it and wonder if I got the correct year ... lol)

I used a stencil (cut out of vinyl from my local sign store), a mirror, a sponge brush and some etching cream for this project.

I wish I'd taken a photo of the before and during so you could see the process ... I've made a note to self to try remember for next time :-).

It is so hard trying to photograph a mirror so I'm sharing a few different views so you can get an idea of what it looks like with and without a reflection, so my cell phone and my hubby's golf clubs are meant to be in the pictures ;-).

It turned out quite nice except for a bit of unevenness on the vertical bit of the D ... I guess practice makes perfect so I've lots of practicing ahead of me...lol! It definitely looks better in person.

Thank you for visiting today!

Happy Crafting!

Silhouette Challenges - # 34 - Coffee & Hot Chocolate!

Hello my crafty friends,

Welcome to my February (Challenge 34) DT post for Silhouette Challenges.

I've been wanting to decorate my coffee pod holder for ages - I had all of these great quote ideas to fill the blank canvas but while trying to choose the best quote I realised they only included coffee - AND I have a young man in the house that loves his hot chocolate and would probably be upset that I didn't include him in the quote ... oh the small things (choose your battles as they say in the 'parenting handbook' ... lol).

So here's my newly decorated coffee pod holder: 

'Everything gets better with coffee & hot chocolate'

I used the following fonts: 

SignPainter for Everything, coffee and hot chocolate

American Typewriter for gets better with and &

The vinyl is a shimmering silver that I picked up from a local sign maker and is so nice and thin and easy to cut and weed.

Thank you for visiting today! Enjoy a good cup of coffee or hot chocolate!

Happy Crafting!

Silhouette Challenges DT Post - Valentine Treats!

Hello friends,

Happy New Year!

It's my turn to post over at Silhouette Challenges for January 2016. 

For this challenge I decided to make some Valentine treats.

I found some cute red bows cardstock in my stash and thought I'd keep it simple and not add anything 'fancy' to my creations!

Dreaming Tree (3DSVG) often offer FREE cutting files and I was able to use 2 from their great selection, the Take Out Box and Heart Treat Box - both perfect for my Valentines treats!

Thank you for joining me today.
