My Craft Spot Challenge # 100 Dad

2013-06-03T06:30:00.000-06:00

It's challenge time again over at My Craft Spot, and this week's challenge is Dad. So easy and perfect timing to make something for that special Dad in your life.

For my project, I made a little gift box or treat box, depending on what you want. It is a file from SVG Cuts, and I cut it with my Cameo.

The tag is stamped with a background stamp and then stamped with it's your day both stamps are from My Craft Spot from the Tickets stamp set. They are tied on with Paper Cord also from My Craft Spot.

The tape measure on the front is some ribbon I had, it is so old I don't even know what kind or where it's from.

Feel Better Soon Get Well Kit

2013-05-31T04:00:00.000-06:00

So I was asked by Lisa from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons to be a guest designer, and of course I said yes!! She has some very cute digital files and paper . You should check it out here.

For this little get well kit, I used her K cup cut file and just left out the inside insert. I cut if from her Spring Fling Polka Dots paper, so cute! I then cut the whale and the band aid from the Get Well Cutting Files. The background paper is also from Lisa from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.

I used a cello bag to put a bottle of hand sanitizer and pocket tissues in and stapled the bag shut and then I ran a strip of tape across the back and attached the bag to it.

The cute sentiment is from the Feel Better Soon stamp set from My Craft Spot. The beautiful Caribbean crinkle ribbon and Caribbean Twine are also from My Craft Spot.

I made the little band aid and folded it and glued the back to the back of the bag. I then added a piece of velcro to hold it shut.

Birdhouse treat Box

2013-05-30T06:00:00.000-06:00

I made these awhile ago and have been waiting to take the photos. I wanted to take them outside in the trees, but the wind will not stop!! So they are taken inside.

This is a file from the Silhouette store and super quick and easy to make. You can fill them with small treats or just use them as a decoration.

Dad you're the best!

2013-05-29T00:00:00.000-06:00

I am really having fun with step cards, you can get so much more on one than just a flat card. This cute cut is a brand new file from SVG Cutting Files called Camping Fun. As soon as I saw it I fell in love with it! It has so many cute images, I know it's hard to believe but this is only part of them! You can get them herehttp://svgcuttingfiles.com/catalog.php?item=511 on friday.

I sized everything in Silhouette DE to fit the step card and cut it with my cameo.

The side view gives you a better idea of how a step card works.

The tag was cut with the Tiny Tags Metal Dies and stamped with the Tiny Tags stamp set both from My Craft Spot. I tied the tag on with Olive Jute String also from My Craft Spot. The cork circles are so old I don't even know where I got them, but they fit with the feel of this card.

I embossed the outer layer of the canoe to make it look like wood.
