Merry Christmas

Hello, it's Lori with got2bcrafting!

Happy Saturday. :)

This week the DT was showcasing Christmas projects using Joy's Life "Oh Christmas Puns" and "Wintery Puns" stamp sets.

I LOVE both of these sets A LOT!!

So here is my card:

I used "Wintery Puns" for my sentiment. :)

This is a PNC (print and cut) file from the Silhouette online store.
I just printed the image tho, and did not cut it.  To make it a little more dimensional, I added some liquid applique on the Santa hat, as well as some stickles, then I added liquid glass to the bow, ornaments, and the eyes and nose of the bear.
Added some twine and a button, stamped the sentiment.... and viola, it was done. 

Pretty simple card.

Thanks for stopping by today.
I would love for you to come check out my blog if you can't a chance. :)

Happy Fall Y'all - Shaped card

Hello crafty friends, it's Lori with got2bcrafting!

Happy, Happy Saturday!

I hope you were able to see all the great projects the DT shared with you this week.  They really did "Bling It Up"!!

Here is the card I created for you:

I added some rhinestones and hemp twine for my "bling"!

The sentiment I used is from Joy's "It's All Fall Puns", which you can find at the Joy's Life Store.

I found this fabulous card at SVG Cuts.com.

The card base is paper I purchased at PTI, and all the other pattern papers are digital paper I purchased from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons.

Thanks for stopping by.

I would love for you to come visit my blog. :)

Have a Happy, Crafty Day!!

thank you - Ombre card

Hello crafters,

it's Lori with got2bcrafting!

Happy, Happy Saturday!

This week the DT has been sharing Ombre style cards.  What is Ombre?? Ombre is the gradual change in a shade of color from light to dark or vise versa.

And here is my creation:

 The sentiment is from the Tag You're It - Set One.

I altered a file I found at the Silhouette online store to make my card.

The ombre effect was created with some paint chip samples I had on hand from when my daughter was picking colors to paint her room. :)

Don't forget to check out all of Joy's amazing stamps and crafting goodies at the Joy's Life Store.

I hope you enjoyed my project.

If you would like to see other cards and projects I have created, please visit my blog.

Have a HAPPY, CRAFTY DAY!!

Happy Fall Y'all -- Ombre style

 

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you had some crafty time this weekend!  Julie here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers, and I'm thinking Ombre.

When I first heard this word used in scrapbooking/cardmaking/paper  crafting circles, I thought it was being used incorrectly.  Surely they were talking a Mexican food?  Or a place to visit?  A card game?  The definition of ombre is the French word for color that is shaded or graduated in tone.

I had a few ideas of how I wanted to accomplish the ombre technique, but after much thought, decided on accomplishing it this way:

 

I used various cardstock colors, shading from light to dark, for the ombre look. The letters were cut out on my Silhouette Cameo.

The sentiment is stamped on Kraft paper, and is from the Joy's

   Life stamp set, "It's All Fall Puns" has so many great sentiments for Fall.  You can find it, and all of Joy's wonderful stamps, here in her store.

 

 

I made this card large enough to fit in a business size envelope, so there's lots of card to work with. 

You'll see other great ombre techniques from the rest of the team this week, so please stop by each day.  We love visitors! 

You'll find more details about this card, and other projects I'm working on, over on my blog.

 



 

 



I'm nuts about you

Hello... it's Lori with got2bcrafting!

Can you believe it's Fall already?

I LOVE it!!

I am so excited for all the holidays that are upon us.  It's such a fun time of year, and I really love spending time with my family.

This week the DT has showcased projects using Burlap, Buttons, Kraft and/or Twine.

I was able to incorporate ALL of these fun products into my card:

Isn't that little squirrel adorable??

And Joy has the perfect sentiment as always:

This stamps is from "That Tastes Punny".

You can find this stamp set and all the other awesome sets at the Joy's Life Store.

I found this squirrel image at the Silhouette Online Store.
I embossed my background with a wood grain embossing folder and inked the top of it a bit.  I inked all the edges of my cuts as well.  I added a little white gel pen detail too.

I hope you enjoyed my card.

I would love for you to see other projects over on my blog.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a Happy Crafty Day!!

a Whole Latte Love

Happy Saturday Crafters,
 it's Lori with got2bcrafting!!

I hope you are having a fabulous weekend so far. :)

This week the DT has showcased "shaped cards".  I don't do these very often, but I think they are a lot of fun!

Here is what I came up with:

My sentiment is from the "You're So Punny" stamp set:

You can find this stamp set, along with all the other amazing sets at the Joy's Life Store, here.

This image is an SVG I found at KaDoodle Bug Designs. To create the shaped card, I used Silhouette Studio Designer Ed. software. I layered the SVG image on the screen, then I offset the image (shadow) and traced it. I took the traced image, duplicated it, flipped the second image and then welded the two together to create the base.

I hope you enjoyed my card today, I would love for you to stop by my blog!! :)

totally awesome teacher - 3D Pencil

Hello crafters, it's Lori with got2bcrafting!

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far. :)

This week the Joy's Life DT is celebrating "Back to School".

I always like to have my girls bring in a little something for their new teachers, so I created this fun 3D Pencil to hold some yummy candy:

I added some salt water taffy tied in a cellophane bag:

And, stamped the tag with two different Joy's Life stamps:

The "totally awesome" is from the My Hero stamp set and the "teacher" is from Everyday Occasions stamp set.

I found this great pencil at SVG Cuts.com

The patterned paper is from Fancy Pants Designs.

Well, Dog-gone it!

Hi, Joy's Life friends. Julie here from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. I hope you are enjoying the last weekend in August. Summer's almost over, dog-gone it, anyway!

We've "gone to the dogs" this week with the Joy's Life design team.

My husband and I are deliberating whether or not to add another dog to our house, so this card seems most appropriate right now:

 

 

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out this fun card, and the Joy's Life Stamp set, Punny Animals. There are so dog-gone many cute sentiments included with this set!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope it's a dog-gone good one for you.





Had a ruff day?

Hello crafters!

So here is my card in honor of our furry little friends:

The sentiment I used is from the "You're So Punny" stamp set:

This was such a quick and easy card to make.... I just love when that happens, don't you???  :)

That bites - Silhouette card

Hello everyone, it's Lori with

got2bcrafting!

It's been a very "Sweet" week here at the Joy's Life Design Team Blog. I hope you have enjoyed the yummy projects so far.

I think one of summer's greatest sweet treats is a popsicle, so that was the inspiration for my card:

When I saw this cut file, I knew exactly which of Joy's stamps I should use:

Isn't that perfect??

This stamp is from the Sweet Popsicle Puns stamp set, which can be found at the Joy's Life products page here.

If you would like more details about my card, please visit my blog.

Thank you so much for stopping by!!

I hope you have a happy, crafty day!

Cupcake Cat Card

Hi, everyone!  It's Patty here from the Crafty Kitten with a Friend Shaped Card for you!

You can tell by the name of my blog that I LOVE cats!  They've been cherished family members to my hubby and I over the years. 

 I thought this would be a sweet card to make for a friend.   

 

Slip off the cupcake liner to reveal

 this sweet saying from Joy's Yummy Puns stamp set.  

Here's a closeup of that great stamp!

Packed with fun sentiments, you can grab your own set of Yummy Puns here. 

To recreate this card using your cutting machine, resize the SVG file so it will fit in a 4.25x5.5 envelope. Add some dry embossing and crystals to make your project sparkle.  I cut the cat out of black paper since it reminds me of my cat, Moonlight.  

Maybe he approves. 

I hope you have a great one!

love you to the core - shaped card

Hello everyone, it's Lori with got2bcrafting!

This week the DT is creating "shaped" cards for friends.  I just happen to have two of THE best friends EVER, and I wanted to make a card to let them know how much they mean to me. So here it is:

That awesome sentiment is from Joy's "It's All Fall Puns". Here is a closer look at it:

Love, Love the fonts Joy used... don't you??

You can see the rest of this stamp set, and all the other amazing sets, at Joy's Products Page here.

You're a Bar-b-cutie!

Happy Saturday, Joy's Life fans! Julie here from Muddy Paws and Inky Fingers. Can you believe we're past the middle of July already?  We've been having a picnic theme all week with the design team, and hopefully you've had a chance to have a picnic of your own.

I made a clean and simple card for my post today, using the Joy's Life  "That Tastes Punny" stamp set.

 

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the image on this card.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed our week of picnic projects.  Join us this  coming week for 3D flowers, and next Saturday, July 27th for a Summer in 3D blog hop with the entire talented Joy's Life team!

Puppies are the BEST!

Happy Saturday, Joy's Life fans.  It's Julie here from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers, and I wanted to let you know that today is my birthday!  How fun that I get to post on my big day!

We're having a "free for all" week this week, meaning we can use any theme and any stamp set we wish.  How fun is that?

It worked out perfectly for me, as I needed a couple gifts for 2 friends that got new puppies.  We had a get-together this week to meet the puppies and to introduce the puppies to each other.

 

Here is what I made for them, using the Joy's Life Punny Animals Stamp Set

These fun treat boxes, filled with puppy biscuits:

 

 

I used two different sentiments from the set.

Here's a close up of one of the treat boxes, made with my Silhouette Cameo...

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this week of "anything goes" projects.  Now, I'm off to celebrate my birthday.  Woot!

 

Thanks a melon watermelon card

Hello everyone! This is Cyndy from Arcy Scraps with a sweet watermelon shaped card. This week we are sharing projects with watermelons since Summer is here. :)

This week the DT is creating "masculine" cards or projects.  If you are like me, this is not an easy task!  LOL!  Thankfully I found this cute SVG at the Silhouette online store:

Meow are you? Cricut & Cameo Slider card

Hi everyone, this is Cyndy from Arcy Scraps. I had always wanted to make a slider card, but was a little confused on what to cut, sizes, etc... but the Silhouette Cameo made it so easy!

The sentiment is from Joy's brand new stamp set, Punny Animals. This entire stamp set is adorable. 

The following pictures will show the girl's progress on the "slider" cut. The card base and the slider piece are from the Silhouette Store. 

Here, she made it to the right side :-) She is from the Cricut Meow Lite cartridge.
