DIMENSIONAL PAPER CRAFTING...mouse cart svg

hello all,

i want to share with you a 3d project i made with a samantha walker digital file and it turned out super adorable and i know you are going to love it.

Mouse Cart 

3D

please know this is a photo heavy post. 

i wanted to capture all sides and details.

int this pic you see where i will display my mouse cart. it will stay here for a while. it looks really nice and the colors match with the background, :D

i used my cricut explore and its software to open and cut the file.

the mat i used is a 12x12 but the software will say you need a 12x24 but do not pay attention. it cuts just fine on the 12x12.

NOTE one of the canopy sections is not attached just yet but the entire cart base is. you will attach that layer later on. it makes it easier not being attached at this point.

(sorry about this pic, it was a bit cloudy when taken)

                      

here i am showing the left side and right side of its face.

adorable, isn't it?

the patterned papers i used are from mme: away we go collection (6x6)

 these pics are showing left and right sides again.

see those diminutive parts of the bike. well, they cut perfect. 

check the size of the pedal, it is actually two to pieces, lol. 

  you won't be able to attach both parts completely but do not worry because that is how it was designed. 

i recommend a good strong adhesive and for the base a nice thick cardstock.

i added some extra details:  stamped a subtle pattern on shirt, edge of papers were inked for more definition, some wet embossing on the ice cream and on the tiny round parts on the wheels. 

like it, huh? i think they can be great for a birthday party decoration, as favors filled with candy, as a gift box and who knows what else you can think of i am not.

the mouse cart has been linked to their store, if interested.

let us know if you make one, and show us too, please. we would love to see your take on it.

thanks for stopping by!

A KOKESHI DOLL

KOKESHI

what is a kokeshi doll you might be asking yourself.

well, a kokeshi doll is a japanese doll.

here is the wiki definition:   Kokeshi (こけし kokeshi ^?), are Japanese dolls, originally from northern Japan. They are handmade from wood, have a simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face. The body has a floral design painted in red, black, and sometimes yellow, and covered with a layer of wax.

let's name her

Kazumi

(harmony and beauty)

Kazumi is holding a lute.

anyway, i was figuring out how to print them at home because i wanted to show you do not need an electronic cutting machine to use/play with these dolls. if you do have one, you can certainly use it. the svg comes in different formats for different machines.

since i was just doing a "trial" i did not want to use my more expensive cardstock until i saw how well i could print them at home. but, oh boy, they are awesome. they came out so pretty.

this doll was printed using plain copy paper and the coloring with some color pencils:

crayola and joann's brand. 

hehe

know i am not an expert in coloring: i am just a rookie taking baby steps.

you all know that but i thought to remind you, :D

i think they are adorable!

as always, thanks for stopping by the hut!

NOTE:  i am just a crafter trying different techniques to share with other crafters. i hope i do not offend anyone with my coloring of these dolls. if i do, please, accept my most humble apologies. 

WATERCOLORED VALENTINE'S DAY BUBBLES LOVE CARD

hi,
oops! eta: welcome to the hut!
welcome to the digi playground blog.

this is agnes and i

hope you had fun celebrating the new year.we  stayed home, watched netflix until midnight and then went to bed. 

 hubby was sick. it seems he gets sick every christmas. i think it is a bad habit he acquired a while back, hehe.

nonetheless, we did welcome the new year with joy and gratefulness.
:D

now onto my project for the digi playground:

a love card---a bubble love card that is.
-all bubble-licious-

it is a samantha walker svg and i have had it for a while just waiting to be remembered, lol.
it is an easy card to mass produce especially if i/you decide to make a few for v-day.

my first try was using distress ink on the bubbles but i didn't like how it turned out so i moved to plan b and used my watercolors for the background.

Love Card

4-1/4 x 5-1/2"

-a sneak peek-

i used a few drops of red, pink, blue and black onto the wet watercolor paper and to speed up the process, i used my heat tool to dry it and then i sprinkled a few drops of water and some gold paint onto the surface and dried again.

then i brushed the entire surface with a matte finish medium and immediately after i sprinkled some super fine gold glitter onto it. i did that to secure the glitter onto my textured watercolor paper.
so pretty!

the smaller hearts were made using a paper punch. the bigger heart comes with the svg file.
it seems there are lots of steps but they are easy ones and you will have lots of fun playing with your watercolors too. and by all means you do not have to do them all. the card is beautiful just as it comes. i just wanted to play a bit with it.

another idea that came to mind was making it into a shaker.

anyhow, this is the svg i used in its raw version, :D
and it has been linked for your convenience.

i am also linking to all the valentine's day cuties they have in the store. they are too cute not too share.
if interested, this is the link:

and now i thank you for taking the time to stop by.

thanks a bunch and have a great day!

A TRICK OR TREAT SCALLOPED PURSE TREAT HOLDER

for today's digi playground post i chose to make this cute scalloped purse and treat it as a trick or treat candy box. so easy to put together you do not even need glue because it has some nice tabs that you engage for the need of no glue at all, lol. 

cool, huh?

Trick or Treat 

(size around 5 inches in diameter and 2 inches in depth)

 the main ingredient here is the scalloped purse svg. it was designed by miss samantha walker and you can find it
here.
i know i keep saying this but it is really so easy to put together, it will be perfect for a get together kid parent project for halloween, school, birthdays, weddings and the possibilities are almost endless with these type of treat boxes.

anyway, i have to tell you the pretty cardstock is from an oldie dcwv stack. i do not know if you can find it anymore.
the tag is from a paper punch, the sentiment from a g studio clear stamp and the ink from prima.

this collage of pics i made to show some of the process and i know you are wondering about the "back to school" and "owl" pic. hehe.
well, i tell you that was what i had in mind.
i wanted to add them but i cut them too big. they will be saved for a round card tough because i love how they turned out.
i used my explore and design space to print and cut them and that is why i wanted to include them.
i wanted you to see you can print and cut too.
they are both svg files from the digi playground and i linked them for you if interested.

and...did you notice the tabs for a glueless project?
i think is such a nice feature.

this is it for today.
i thank you again for taking the time to visit and i hope you have a great week.
if you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to contact any of us.
we are here to help.

THE PENNY SLIDER CARD

hi all,

and welcome to a digiplayground project.

 it is my turn to post and i have

wanting to share with you the second penny slider card i have ever made.

yeap!, the first one i made was years ago. i had forgotten how much fun they are to make.

anyway and anyhow, 

here it is....

The Penny Slider Card

-so much fun-

i grabbed this samantha walker file from the DGP shop. 

the card size is an a2

(5-1/2" x 4-1/4")

i cut everything with my cricut explore using design space.

the slit you see is where you attach the bike to slide. 

all the pieces just waiting to be put together. i cut duplicates to add dimension to some of the die cuts.

this pic is showing you that the bike slid forward, lol.

if you look to the first pic again, the bike is on the left, now is on the right.

-the penny slider effect-

(haha)

*-*

wink-wink

-i gave the sun a happy face-

  see the pretty envelope with its scalloped flap? darling!  
i left the inside of the card blank to hand write a personal note.

how it works:

 there are two small circles behind the slit. they are to attach the bike for sliding. 

in my case i used the brads on the wheels, pierced through the bike to grab those circles to make the bike slide. normally you add a penny onto the circles for better movement and that is why they call it:

"the penny slider card". i did not add the penny but i can easily move it with my fingers.

and, if you take a closer look you will notice i also stamped the leaves: you can see some veins there.

what do you think? makes you want to try it, huh?

it is so cute and so easy to make.

the penny slider card file 

is also available for
the silhouette, make the cut, cricut ds, sure cuts a lot and sizzix eclipse.

and now i have to say until later.

have a great week!

and thanks again for stopping by.
