Brand New SVG's!!!!

Hi everyone! I'm really excited about my new SVG's! One is almost like a hybrid between my Zipper file and the Pop Up Slider. It's so cool I have been making tons of cards with this collection all week. Plus there are tons of different options I mean TONS. This is a huge file for me. I've literally been working on this all week. It's called the Skinny Pop up Pull Sliders. It comes in 3 different widths. Small, Medium and Large with short pulls and long pulls in every single style!!!. I made a video for you to see the slider in action and tell you all about them. 

I got to play around with a new paper stack by Jillibean Soup called Southern Chicken Dumplings Soup and My Thoughts Exactly Easter Greetings. The sentiment says Hangin' with my Peeps. Isn't that just too cute?

Ok the 2nd SVG today are Zipper Envelopes. Yup that's right SVG's so you can make your own fun little envies that unzip! Fun don't ya think? I seriously can't stop playing with these zippers.

Here is a video I did for you.

The Zipper Envelope SVG's comes with 3 different styles. Each style comes with score lines and without score lines. Plus I made a flat top for simple style envelopes and if you want to add your own border to customize!

Ok hope you like these as much as I do!

Tomorrow is our April My thoughts Exactly Stamp release blog hop! I CAN.NOT.WAIT. To show you the new collection! It is so FUN! Plus MTE will be giving away the entire collection! So you aren't going to want to miss out on this one!  

Happy crafting friends!

Easter Egg Box

Hi everyone! I made this fun little egg treat box with the new Echo Park This & That Collection. The scalloped border is even part of the collection I hand cut from the border page. It was the perfect size to fit around the egg. I can't get enough of this crinkle ribbon! It's a new fave for sure. The egg is an SVG file from SVGcuts and was super fun to put together. I love how the paper totally changes the look. This paper is so yummy I can't stop making projects with it I am ready to order more. The entire collection is available here including chipboard and embellishments for $22.26!

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great week!

Chocolate anyone?

Another EGG-scuse for chocolate!

Oh my goodness I love that sentiment from the new My Thoughts Exactly Easter Greetings set. I finally got to use my own SVG file. I made the zipper SVGs, but had not yet made something myself with them except test cuts. I pulled out my basket and egg punch I got a zillion years ago that I just love for Easter! Plus I used the Echo Park Springtime Paper collection that I can't get enough of. I am excited to see what Echo Park comes up with this year.
I took pictures before I actually assembled the card because I wanted you to be able to see what was hiding under the zipper! The whole sentiment reads "Wishing you a happy EASTER for....Another EGG-scuse for chocolate!" Doesn't that make you smile? I just love it! And with part of the sentiment hidden under the zipper to surprise someone I love it even more!

 Before I adhered the pieces together.

 Final assembly

 Final assembly with a close up of stamping. Do you see you I stamped the "Wishing" I stamped it one time on the blue paper then again onto the pink piece. This was a bit tricky to line up, but I finally got it after a few attempts! I like the way it turned out.

Full picture of final assembly.

Because I am actually going to give this to someone as an Easter card I didn't unzip the zipper. It is really hard holding back from unzipping it though. I really want to..... almost like popping bubble wrap. It's hard to say no!

If you are scratching your head and wondering what I am talking about, here is a picture of the zipper being unzipped. I made 4 different styles of zipper SVG's that you can buy right here.

Ok that's it for today! Thanks for stopping by and as always thank you so much for taking the time to comment I always love reading your comments!

Sew Graceful

WOW have you seen the

THIS & THAT collection by Echo Park?

It is so beautiful. It has inspired me more than any other collection before!

Today I made a slider card with the

Graceful collection.

 I made this slider into an SVG for quick and easy interactive cards plus I made a
 Youtube video for assembly.

Hope it inspires you as much as it has inspired me!

The button card is one of the journal cards included in the kit. I used a 1" circle punch to cut out the little circles from the 6x6 stack. Then turned them into little buttons. The crinkle ribbon is from this kit. The sentiment says"Thank you sew much for your kindness"  from My Thoughts Exactly Many Thanks Set and the Slider SVG can be found HERE

Don't forget you still have time to enter this months Shop Pumpkin Spice challenge. You can find it right here.
  Plus don't miss out on the March Card Kit! It is PACKED with goodies!
