Quick Quotes Guest DT Project!!

Good morning friends, I am excited to be the Guest Designer for Quick Quotes

this month and very excited to share this fun project with you. 

A Sun Catcher I created using the Calypso line of paper and embellishments. 

And I do have a step by step tutorial as well!

 Using an acrylic flourish (Clear Scraps) coat in Sail Boat Blue Alcohol ink. 

 Using Xyron Clear Hold Adhesive, adhere Serendipity 200 paper to acrylic

bird, and press into place. 

 Ink edges of Calypso Chipboard Die Cut using Blue Jeans PowderPuff Ink

 Adhere to bird- and tie coordinating color ribbon through top/ 

 Using Xyron adhesive dots- Roll and attach flourish to bird as shown. 

 Add more Calypso Chipboard Die Cuts over the flourish.

 Thread Crystal Sun Catcher through bottom of bird. 

 Add rhinestone accents on both sides. 

Now you have an amazing Sun Catcher that will shine in your window all spring!

I hope you enjoyed my project today. 

Until next time- Keep on creating!!

BLOG HOP Free Cut File+GIVEAWAY+Bendy Card Tutorial...

Good morning my crafty friends, 

I am VERY excited to share today a brand new project and

welcome you to the Samantha Walker Creative Team Monthly Blog Hop!

There is a great Spellbinders prize WOOT!

 And as always a FREE free SVG/Silhouette file 

*Prize photos below*

If you are coming from Allie's Blog then you are in the right place!

This is my FIRST project since being back on this amazing team

and I am sure it is just a taste of what is to come. 

Our theme is snowflakes and I was so inspired with this lace-

I sort of took it in a different direction and went crazy!! :) 

*Shocking I know* LOL

Samantha created these amazing cut files called "Bendy" Cards

and I could not resist cutting one right away and creating it for the blog hop!

Now there is a FULL tutorial on SW blog for assembling these Bendy Cards

http://samanthaleewalker.blogspot.com/2014/01/silhouette-tutorial-how-to-make-bendy.html

And I wanted to share how I created my version too. 

I cut the Samantha Walker Bendy Card Envelope Set Scalloped

on my Silhouette using Kraft Cardstock paper. 

I also cut these "XO" Hearts using red card stock on my Silhouette as well. 

I ran the hearts through the sticker maker wrong side down-

then coated in Ultrafine red glitter. 

Then I used a high tack tape to add a glitter stripe to the bendy card layers. 

I sprinkled on the glitter. 

Then used the same high tack tape to assemble the card. 

AFTER it was assembled I added the pearls and lace- because the

pearls needed to be added while it was bent- they kept popping off when

I added them laying flat. 

I adhered the hearts to an iridescent shimmery vellum paper- 

then adhere them to the card itself using foam squares. 

Then I added the lock and key. 

Here the card is open and it's perfect to write in or stamp inside. 

I love the layers and I am completely addicted I can tell you after just one!
