Independence Day and Happy Birthday

Hello!  Thanks so much for stopping by. Kara here from Create By Kara

 

I am obsessing with flowers lately and the great part is with Craftin Desert Divas stamp sets.. you can purchase the SVG files to go along with the stamp set! 

 

I took the SVG file from Flowers in Bloom and uploaded the file to Cricut Design Space.  The SVG file can be found here.  I made a few different sizes and knew I'd need red and blue (why I didn't make white.. I do not know LOL).  I cut these SVG flowers and then shaped them.  I knew they needed a little pizzazz so I dabbed a bit of glue on the petals and used clear glitter to give them a shine.  The center I knew I wanted white so I got out some fancy glitter and put that on as well.   I then glued the flowers all together.

  

I then colored my digi Bear with Flower with spectrum noir pens.  I knew this wasn't meant to be a red, white and blue bear, but I turned her into one!  Once I was finished coloring I began to assemble the flowers and bear to the card.  I used Celebrate Freedom with embossing powder to celebrate the 4th of July and Freedom.

 

I used double sided foam to raise the bear and the 2 flowers that would 'prop' my card up.

The next card I'd like to show is a pretty simple card.  I used Wishful Thoughts stamp set.  I took Wish you and then added the happiest birthday.  I placed this on a cut out from Crazy Stitched Frame Dies and embossed in white.  Previously I had taken white card stock and flicked paint (I did a ton of these at one time).  I cut the largest frame from the Crazy Stitched Frames and made that my next layer.  I took some twine and wrapped it around the flicked paint layer.   I then used the Picture Frame Die for my last die cut frame. 

 

I layered two last layers with white and green.

Happy Birthday and SVG Files

Hello!  Thanks so much for stopping by

 

Today I am so incredibly excited to say that Craftin Desert Divas has released SVG cut files for the Shop Cutie collection.  If you have a cutting machine, this should make you extremely happy!   It is so super simple to use SVG's with my Cricut Explore. 

 

So first I saved the SVG file to my computer and extracted that zip file.  Logged into my Cricut Design Space I went to start new project and then upload.  You can upload many different types of files, but I love SVG's because the layers are given for you.  All of the work is done.. You just need to resize the project and simply cut!

 

I decided to raise my stars on the candy bar with foam.  I love dimension so this fit right in.  I also distress inked the squares of the chocolate bar to give it a slightly different chocolate look. 

 

So after I had all of my pieces cut I assembled my little candy bar shop cutie to get the idea how I wanted her.  I then make my card base which included my most favorite die set ever from Craftin Desert Divas... Fancy Frames.  Adding Happy Birthday from Bring on the Cake stamp set and embossed this with Brutus Monroe Alabaster powder.. BTW it is a gorgeous pure white..   Topped it off with some sequins .. perfect CUTE card!
