XOX BANNER

hello bloggers, family and friends.

hope you are ok. 

we skipped the blizzard and got just a few inches of snow. i will put pics at the end of the post.

up north of us were the worse. 

hopefully, all are well and no one lost nothing.

today i want to start the series using bits and pieces. 

they will be scheduled to go up on wednesdays.

i was late with my first, :(

i started making this banner yesterday, then it got too late to take pics. 

i took the pics this morning in a hurry so excuse me if they are not the best.

i have many things to do today and wanted to post asap in case i do not have a chance later on.

here we go.

a valentine's banner

 

 if you will be following this series i think it is important to explain this:

the images in design space are not in the same order of the handbook, as you might already know.

i will be identifying any images used in these projects by the number they were assigned in design space.

---polka dot tag is #M100103

---hearts #MFB1D2

---font is from cake basics

the tags were cut at 4.25"

but you can cut them smaller or bigger, it is your preference.

---hope you like it--- 

i do not think i will be able to do every single image but i will do the ones i like the most.

now here are some pics from the snow:

HALLOWEEN VINTAGE BOOT...using a pdf file

this is so cute and since i won't be around by the cafe when october comes, i did not want to loose the opportunity to make this vintage boot image into a witch's boot for halloween.

hehe

The Witch's Boot

5.75" x 4.75"

this time what i did was i printed out all the parts in plain copy paper. (i normally print it straight on patterned paper). i cut each piece separately (just a rough cut-leaving around 1/2 inch from the outline) and used a dot of glue on that 1/2 inch to secure it safely to the cardstock i used. i then cut all the parts by hand again, hehe and assembled. actually what i made was a template, wink!

i stamped the stars on the green recollections cardstock (love that cs) and embossed the black recollection cs lightly (did not use the cuttlebug for this step but a bone folder) using a darice embossing folder my sweet friend sheena sent me. the embossing name is crackle, hehe.

maybe you can see it here a bit better. i also inked parts of the outline with a silver ink, just another subtle touch, as you can see.

the bow was made with a glitter nylon tulle i got at m's the other day on clearance and i added a light purple rhinestone that i still love, lol.

the green and black buttons were made with punches, glued on and stickled.

 enjoy!

now for all the file info and or to see what my darling teammates made, please click here to go regina's  the cutting cafe shop and or blog.
