Tea To Go

Here is a covered Peach Tea To Go pouch that I covered with graphics from Kimberly Montgomery's "Joys of Summer" found at pccrafter.com. I use the sheet template for ATC found at Mirkwood Designs, glued cover closed, crimped the ends with a Fisker crimper, and trimmed with decorative scissors.

Thank You Banner

The instructions for the Magic Card are not quite finished. I do have a png template. I discovered a few helpful hints on putting the card together that I will include in the instructions. So keep watching.

For today, I am posting another GSD template for the Banner Thank You card I made. With this file you get an added bonus. I have inclued a variation. I hate wasted paper, so when I do a cutter file I always put little extra's on the page to use up all the paper. The font I used for this card is Bell Bottom. The Craft Robo I have will only cut 8 1/2" wide paper. I took a 12"x12" green patterned sheet from ATD Vibrant collection, trimed the paper to 8 1/2" x 12", then cut my file. I used colored beads for the center of the flowers and a metalic dot for the center of the small flowers in the thank you. Since the patterned paper is so light weight, I ran the cut paper through my Xyron and applied it to white cardstock.

Magic Friend Card

These magic cards are a lot of fun to make. Hope you try one. I will have a PNG template and a couple of tips for putting it together by Saturday. So check back of you can’t use a GSD file.

Window Magic Card

This GSD template is designed for Wendy from the UKScrappers . It is my version of the magic card. It will be available for free download through the end of the month. After that I don't know. If I get interest in a printed form, I will convert it to a PDF or PNG file. This card looks a lot harder than it really is to make. So don't let it scare you off from trying it.

Stars Template

GSD files are so much fun to create. All these star combination and more can be made with this file and three sheets of paper. I used these to decorate for the 4th of July. Now that I am finished with them for a decoration, they can be used for cards or scrapbook layouts, or maybe I will give them away in a swap.

Fun Birthday Card

I am working on a freebie for next week. For today, here is a fun little birthday card I made using two creatables from pccrafter.com. "Hen House" by Carolee Jones and "Star Spangled Summer 2" by Laurie Furnell.

Woof U Happy B-Day

This card is for the dog lovers out there. I used my cuttlebug Happy Birthday background and graphic is from Fleabag at pccrafter.com. I used pop dots for a dimensional look.
