USA Banner

I made this banner with lots of love...it is going to hang in my Grandma's hospital room, where she stays.  She loves to see my projects and my mom was going to Ohio to visit, so I quickly...or not so quickly (it took 4 straight hours...lol)...made this to hang in her room to replace another wall hanging I had done.  I had to take fast pictures before she left for the airport, so unfortunately, the pictures came out bad and do not do it justice.  I thought it turned out beautiful. Everything is from the Made In The USA collection from SVGCuts.  For the USA letters, I only used the letter face portion and did not make them 3D. 

4th of July Card

Another card!  I love to make cards and this one is made from a file from SVGCuts called Made In The USA.  This is a must have collection! Love this one....makes me want to grab some watermelon and sit by the pool.....

All Aces Card

Perfect for Poker Night!  Wouldn't this be a cute invite for a poker party?  Mine was used as a thank you to my brother who was the dealer for my boys Poker Birthday party!  This was made using the collection called The Green Room from SVGCuts.

Fish Gift Card Holder

What a great way to give a gift card to someone....especially if that someone likes to fish! Here is my little fishy and the gift card goes in the mouth!  It doesn't open like a card, so I just wrote my sentiment on the back, but it could very easily be turned into that. The fish is from a collection from SVGCuts and is called Cliff's Clubhouse Cards SVG Kit. Check out this adorable set!

Patriotic Peony Cottage

Get ready for 4th of July! It’s time to start decorating, well at least decorating this cute, little cottage! I love this little cottage and the decorating possibilities are endless, so I chose to go Patriotic!  Wouldn’t this be cute to add to the food table to maybe hold rolled up napkins and plastic ware? All the files I used are from SVGCuts.com and you can see all the details here!

6 Pack of Beer (or soda) Card :)

Here is a card I made for a friend. I have had this collection for awhile now and have always wanted to make this.  I think it is so cute and it could also be soda instead of beer!  My pictures didn't turn out too well...I was in a rush to get out the door...but you get the idea! The file comes from a collection from SVGCuts and is called Cliff's Clubhouse Cards SVG Kit.

Father's Day Tie Box

I made a quick little box for my husband and filled it with his favorite chocolates for Father's Day.  I love this box and it was really quick and easy to make!  He is definitely NOT a tie guy...but I thought it would be cute.  I told him it was the best kind of tie to receive...filled with chocolate!  The file is from a collection called All About Dad SVG Kit from SVGCuts.com.

Now on to my Project!  I'm very excited to share!  Do you know how hard it is to make something and not be able to share it immediately!!  :)~

 
My project for today is a Martini Card Set with a "Gift Box" Purse to hold the cards!  Wouldn't this be fun to give to a friend for her birthday or some other fun occasion!  The files I used to make this project are from SVGCuts.com.  I used the freebie Martini and freebie Sexy High Heel SVG's.....these are actually freebies on their blog!!  I also used a great collection called Sweet Designer Cards and Envelopes SVG Collection and Sunny Weekend Purses SVG Kit.  I love the background paper!  It is called Flirty Girls Night Out by WeRMemoryKeepers.  I used clear window sheets on top of the glass and embossed it to give it texture and an actual "glass" look.  A little "salt" (embossing glitter) on the rim, add the olive, ...and you are good to go!

I hope you enjoyed this!  Leave me a comment and tell me what you think....
