Thanksgiving in Canada!

Hello Friends, 

Canada is celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend and I've been prepping some little treats for my son's class.

Studio Ilustrado had the perfect files for this project. I used the Leaf box with lid and Treat holder leaf files.

These files can also be found in the Silhouette Design Store as well as other gorgeous boxes and treat holders for every occasion designed by Studio Ilustrado.

I chose my papers from my collection and cut and glued the box and filled it with a mix of Lindt chocolate.

After completing the box I cut and folded the treat holders. I love the way my Cameo cuts the small and detailed leaves without any issues. I used double-sided tape and attached a chocolate caramel ball to the base of each holder.

I hope you enjoyed these special treats today. Please visit Studio Ilustrado on their social media links below or in the Silhouette Design store.

Thank you for visiting! 

Happy Crafting!

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.

Happy Crafting and have a wonderful day!

Butterflies will fly!

Hello my crafty friends,

Today I'm sharing my latest creative team project for Studio Ilustrado. This file can be found in the Silhouette Design Store or on their website.

Butterflies Card - Studio Ilustrado

I chose my colours and patterned paper and worked on my two cards. I really loved this file as it had so much detail to cut on the butterflies as well as easy to put together.

On the blue card I decided to make the outer butterflies with vellum so you could still see the patterned paper underneath. For the pink card I kept the paper plain with the dots and added some Wink of Stella to give the card a little bit of sparkle, and added some green coloured pearls!

Please visit Studio Ilustrado for more of their great designs which include cut files, digital paper and a few freebies too!

Time for cake!

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I'm sharing a cute tiered cake gift card holder with you - a little while ago this file was a freebie of the week from the Silhouette Store by one of my favourite designers Lori Whitlock.

I was inspired and loved what Kathy from Lori's design team did with the file (so pretty and pink!) and decided to cut mine out.

I chose my pretty flower paper from my stash. The paper was double sided so I used the other side, the darker pink, for the trim and added some pink and white 'pearls'.

This is an example of what it looks like with a gift card attached - you just slide up the first tier of the 'cake' to retrieve the gift card.

Here is a closer view of my pretty paper and the pearls.

Thank you for visiting me today!

See you soon and happy crafting!

'Gender reveal' treat boxes! - CT project!

Hello friends,

I'm here to show you some gorgeous 3D Zebra and Zebra print treat boxes. The files are from Studio Ilustrado and can be found here and here.

I chose the Cute Zebra 3D box and the Zebra print digital paper from their website and decided to make a few different coloured Zebras that can be used for any party!

I love purple so I decided to try one of the Zebras as a print and cut file and kept the rest white with different coloured hair/tail.

Once they were all cut out and put together I filled their bellies with popcorn and sprinkled some chocolate covered candy around!

The Zebra comes with lots of little pieces for the stripes and was easy to cut and put together., I even curled some of their hair and tails :-)

I hope you liked my cute 'gender reveal' treat boxes!

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!
