Quick birthday gift card holder!

Hello Friends,

Today I'm sharing a quick birthday gift card holder I made for my sons' friends party tomorrow.

The birthday boy loves gaming so I decided to make this card from Birds SVGs and changed it into a gift card holder. This FREE card is part of one of Birds earlier file collections called Boys Cards. 

I also used an envelope from one of Birds other collections and resized it to fit my card.

Thank you for visiting my quick project for the day!

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!

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

Kids birthday cards!

Hi everyone,

My son has two birthday parties to attend this weekend and he is super excited about both of them. One party is at an indoor rock-climbing venue and the other is a Minecraft & Nerf gun at home/park party!

I have no idea what to get these boys for their birthdays so I decided on gift cards from my favourite book store - Chapters! - at least they can decide on a good book or something else from the kids section.

Here are the cards I made for them: the 8 year old likes 'My Singing Monsters' so I decided to make a pop-up card. The 9 year old likes Minecraft - I had previously made a Minecraft card for another friends birthday so I just switched out the names and moved the characters around.

The images on both were printed on photo paper and sent through the Silhouette 'print and cut' feature. The base of the pop-up card was used from SVGCuts - Hearts Aflame Box Cards template.

Thanks for reading!

Gift bags and tags!

Hello everyone!

Today I've been trying to clean up some files on my computer and I found these free files (except the handbag file - that is from the Silhouette Store) ... so I decided to try them out ... by Shery K Designs.

I chose some paper from my 'small' (;-)) stash and prepared for cutting. Before sending to cut I noticed my page had some space so I quickly drew some tags to have on hand for future use (why waste pretty paper!).

I love the butterfly ones the best ... what do you think?
See you soon ~ Happy crafting ~ *Vicki*

'Super' & 'Gears' for twins!

Hello all,

This weekend my son is going to an AWESOME birthday party for his friends who are twins. These boys have different interests so I decided to make them a special t-shirt and card to go with their birthday gifts. I narrowed it down to a 'gear' shape for the kid who loves all things mechanical and a 'Superman' shape for the kid who is just super to my son and his name starts with an 'S'.

I used flocked HTV from Silhouette purchased through Scrapbooks by Design in Canada, and the paper was from the 'Awesome boy' Recollection Paper Pad
