Anything Goes at CTB and a New Easel Card SVG

It's Saturday, which means a new challenge over at Catch the Bug today! This week's theme is a crafter fave:

This week's theme is

ANYTHING GOES!

In addition to it being an Anything Goes week, I am excited to offer the Easel Card, Snowflake SVG File that I'm using here for sale, as well! Please visit my "SVG Cutting Files For Sale" Tab at the top of my blog for further information. :0)

I have used the Christmas Words - Snow image for my card. It is actually the inside of the card, but since it's an easel, it shows when the card is displayed, too!. I love that about easel cards!

This photo shows the easel, displayed.

I colored my image lightly, with my Prismacolor pencils. I added some 3D Glitter Glue to the snowy parts of the image (a LOT of the image! lol!) You may be able to see it if you enlarge the photo, but the camera just never seems to pick up the glitter stuff too well for me. :0(

The same 3D Glitter Paint is used on each cut out of the Snowflake on the front. After letting it all dry, I used pop dots to put the three snowflake cuts together, which gave it some nice dimension.

Below are some additional photos to show more details a bit closer.

This is a close photo of the digital image. You can also see some of the glitter on the snowflake at the top of the photo.

Here is a shot of the front of the card. This snowflake took lots of glitter paint, but the effect is really great.......musch more so in life than in the picture. :0)

A Very Merry Christmas Wreath SVG, by request!

Hi, everyone!
I had a request for a Wreath SVG, and after several attempts at cutting,
I came up with this one that I like! :0)

Click Image to Enlarge

Wreath, Christmas Holly SVG

The SVG file consists of the Wreath, four different Holly Leaves, and the Double Layer Bow.

You can visit my "SVG Cutting Files for Sale" Tab at the top of my blog page for information on how

to purchase this file for yourself! :0)

For my card, I used AC Card Stock for my wreath cuts. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder, and inked the top of it with my brayer, to give the two tone look, before running it through my Big Shot Machine.

(I did this with the round wreath base and the leaves). I inked the edges of my wreath and leaves, and also the edges of my two layers for the bow. The leaves are on pop-dots, to give them some extra dimension. The bow is held together with a rhinestone brad from my stash. The papers I used are some old DCWV papers I had in my stash.

AC Card Stock

DCWV Designer Papers

Stampin' Up Ink - Garden Green, Riding Hood Red

Ink Daubers

Rhinestone Brad

Dew Drops (adhered with Glassy Glaze)

Thanks for stopping by today! If you like my wreath, maybe you'd like my other SVG files, too! I've recently created some Christmas Card files that are super affordable, and quick to put together! :0)

Another Christmas Accordion Card SVG, Jingle All the Way

Hi, everyone!

Yesterday I posted a new Accordion Nativity Card SVG file that I made. This is another Accordion Card SVG, only with the phrase "Jingle All the Way".

Originally I meant to have the phrase across a five-bar staff, to be more musically accurate, but it just became "too much", so I scaled it back some (haha! - get it?! "Scaled" it back??) ;0)

I hope you like this version!

This SVG is a file for sale - please click on the "SVG's For Sale" tab at the top of my blog.

The file includes the card base panels, including a blank one in case you wish to extend the accordion.  The beauty of the blank accordion panel is that you can use it to create any length accordion card you wish! :0)

The file also includes the frames, the panel decorative pieces (the red dp pieces on my card that go around the oval cuts). The only thing shown on my card that is not included is the brad and the full dp panel used on the last two panel (it is cut 1/4" smaller than the length and width of the card - easy-peasy to use your paper cutter for that, or if you're savvy with the software, you can simply remove the oval from one of the panel decorative cut pieces). The pearls are also not included, but you knew that, right?! ;0) lol!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoy my card!

Nativity Accordion Card SVG

Hi, everyone!

My most popular requested file is my Nativity Side Step Card, and I had been toiling with the idea of a different card format for a Nativity Card for quite some time, when an idea struck me today. I have created an accordion card that features the Blessed Birth of Jesus in the manger.

Below are several images: I'm trying to show you depth and the way the folds create the scene.

Sizzix Lattice Embossing Folder

This SVG is a file for sale - please click on the "SVG's For Sale" tab at the top of my blog.

The file includes the card base panels, including a blank one in case you wish to extend the accordion. I was actually thinking of attaching the all-white page of this one to the last panel to give the silhouette scene a background, and then adding the additional blank svg panel to the back side of the card to write in a note and maybe an additional Christmas wish. The beauty of the blank accordion panel is that you can use it to create any length accordion card you wish! :0)

The file also includes the frames, the panel decorative pieces (the pieces I embossed on my card that go around the silhouette), and the Bethlehem Star. The only thing shown on my card that are not included is the sentiment and the full white panel used on the last panel (it is cut 1/4" smaller than the length and width of the card - easy-peasy to use your paper cutter for that, or if you're savvy with the software, you can simply remove the oval from one of the panel decorative cut pieces). The pearls are also not included, but you knew that, right?! ;0) lol!

Freebie Friday & Some New SVG's

It's Friday, and that means a new freebie Bugaboo Stamps image is posted for you over at the Catch the Bug Challenge Blog! This week, Jodie has created an adorable snail for you!  

Click Image to Enlarge

Card features my Fancy Lattice A2 Mat & Corner Hummingbird SVG files

(Available for sale - visit the tab at the top of my page for information!)

I colored in this little doll of a snail with PSE, and I added some Star Dust Stickles to the shell to make it sparkle. My flowers on the grass are from two different punches I own, and the grass is an eClips cut from the Edges cartridge. I kept it clean and simple, the hummingbird in a muted tone to not distract from the image.  I think the lattice makes a super fancy statement, don't you?! 

My svg file for the lattice contains an A2 panel and a square panel that is sized to fit a 5" square card.

Head on over to Catch the Bug to pickup your freebie! It's only available for free for a limited time!
