Double Slider card


I found a great tutorial on a double slider card at http://hungryheffycrafts.com/2010/04/double-slider-card-tutorial/
I decided to make a Silhouette Studio cut file to make the card. Here is the link for the file. http://www.4shared.com/file/TqzCT023/Double_Slider_Card.html
Download the file, cut out the pieces and then watch the video on how to put it together. I love that this card opens like a regular card but has the additional double slider. That way you can stamp/decorate the sliders and still have tons of room on the inside of the card to write a message.
Hope you enjoy and thanks to Lesley Oman of Hungry Heffy Crafts for the tutorial and inspiration.

Texas Hold'em layout


I took this picture almost three years ago and finally got around to putting it on a layout. I used my Silhouette SD to to a print & cut of the playing cards and then did an offest in black to outline them. I cut a strip of cardstock 2" x 12" and added spades, clubs, hearts, and diamonds for a border. I did a print & cut on the journaling block to be a club shape and cut the title with my Silhouette. I needed poker chips but the Silhouette store didn't have any so I created my own. I have provided the file for you if anyone needs poker chips for anything. http://www.4shared.com/file/8odvkHTa/poker_chips.html

File Folder mini album



This is a mini album made out of four legal sized file folders. My inspiration came from Scrap Diva Forever. You can see hers here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7kmPR49ZOo&feature=related.
Mine is no where near as beautiful as hers but my next one will be great. I was just so excited by this I rushed to get it done and didnt get it done as nicely as I would have liked.

Altered File Folder mini album. I got the inspiratoin from scrap diva forever on her video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7kmPR49ZOo&feature=relatedI couldn't wait to try it when I saw hers. Mine is not finished but I love how it is turning out and had to share.

#10 Card


This is a card I made to fit into a standard sized #10 envelope (the size your bills come in). I like the idea of that size card because even if I run out of envelopes and don't want to make one, I always have #10 envelopes around.

The baloons, bow, flags and sentiment are all print & cut with the Silhouette. The strings were drawn with a sharpie. I am going to do another (to keep on hand for those oops moments when you realize it is someone's birthday at the office). The next one I am going to cut and ink the baloons, bow, flags & sentiment and I will use my Sew Easy to do the strings (or just use the sewing machine).

Swap






Swap stuff I made. I love doing swaps but I think I need to take a break and use some of the swap stuff I have gotten and organize my craft room before I sign up for any more swaps.

Thanksgiving cards






These are cards I made for Card swaps. I don't think I like doing card swaps because I don't want to send a card that someone else made. Feels like cheating.
