Taking time to sleep & play

This layout is made from some older papers I had from Basic Grey Kissing Booth collection.  I love the colors and paper in this collection.  Especially the little birds on the Oh Darling paper.  I wanted to cut some out to use on the layout but I didn't want to cut each one by hand. So, I bought the Pix Scan matt for my Silhouette Cameo and cut them out!

I used my sewing machine on the strips on the side.  I used some green silk ribbon in my bobbin, some pink variegated thread with a flowered decorative stitch, and then some variegated green thread for some straight stitching.  Hopefully you will be able to see it in the close-ups.

The picture is mounted on a cut file from iheartstudio, the birds were added.   I used some pink gelatos to color the right side. Then, some rubber stamping, journaling and ink splotches to complete everything.

Mr and Meeces

Hello everyone! Today I have a couple of cards to share with you and another video.  I used the stampendous stamp called Mr and Meeces.  I colored them with copic markers, fussy cut, added a sentiment and then mounted on foam adhesive.  Next a few embellishments were added and the cards were complete.

 This card was fussy cut by hand....

This card I stamped the image and then scanned it and saved it as a JPEG file.  Then I imported into my silhouette and print and cut.  I like how nicely it cuts around the image but the image itself is not as dark and some of the detail is not there.


Here is the how to video...
