You Drive Me Batty

Welcome and thanks for

stopping by today.

Halloween is just around

the corner so I have a

cute new image for you today

that I have made into a

Halloween card.

The image I have used is

"You Drive Me Batty Doll 1"

which you can find HERE

I have colored the image with my

Apple iPad in Pigment

which you can find below.

After printing the finished picture

I traced it with my Sihouette

and cut it with a white border

to match the image as a mat.

And here is my finished card

which is 6x6.

To finish my card I used

wooden bats and a house 

colored black with Wink a Stella.

I then embellished with black flowers.

I hope you have enjoyed my little

card and it has helped to get

your creativity flowing 

and ready for Halloween.

Valentine Digital Card Topper

Welcome and thanks for

stopping by!

I hope your New Year is off to a

great start and you are

ready for some new projects 

now that the Holidays are

behind us.

I have a fun digital 

card topper I have

created for you today.  I

have used two different background

papers and digital embellishments!

I have used My Besties Img 955

The card topper is 6 x 6.  

I have used the My Besties printable paper

pack Sweet Lil Ducky for

my background.  The embellishments

are from the Watermelon Bestie Girl

Tube Kit.

The image was colored on

my iPad in Pigment.  Once the image

was colored I turned it into a png file so

I could move it around and place it 

on my background paper with no

white background behind the image.

The embellishments were already

png files so they had no white background.

I created my card topper using my 

Silhouette software program.  You can then print from the Silhouette program to paper.

I have found this to be a fun and different

way to change things up from the

traditional making of a card.

Be sure to visit one of the My Bestie

shops to see a variety of rubber

stamps, digi images, printable sheets,

printable papers and much more.

Hope this has given you a new idea in

paper crafting and card making!

Exploding Box

Hello Bestie Pals!

Vicki here today sharing with you this
fun Exploding Box! 

I've been wanting to make an
exploding box forever and finally
gave it a whirl and it was such fun.

For the template for my exploding box

I have used a SVG file from the

Silhouette America store. 

 

I have used 3 different colors of

cardstock for the box.  I pink 12x12, one white

12x12 and one blue 12x12 sheet of cardstock.

 

Once the pieces for the box are cut you fold

each layer at the perforated lines.

I then glued each layer on top of the other to

give it this layered look.

 

The top of the box is cut from a 12x12 sheet of pink cardstock.

 

Once my box was assembled I began to

decorate the outside and the inside

flaps with embellishments from my stash.

 

I then used two different

My Besties printable sheets which I

traced and then cut on my Silhouette machine. 

 

Once I had all the pieces cut I used

3D foam dots to stack different pieces

of the printable to give it a 3D effect.

 

I then used 3D dots on the bottom of each

printable to stick them to the inside bottom

of the box so they would standup.

 

 

Once you have decorated your box you then

fold it up and put the top on the box. 

When you take the top off the box the

sides will fall as if the box were

to explode and reveal what is on the inside.

 

I have used the pocket letter below to cover the

sides on the outside of the box and the top.

 

 

 

 

Below are the two printables that I

have used on the inside center of the box.

I hope I have sparked you creativity

and you have enjoyed my Exploding Box! 

 

Happy Crafting!!!!!
