To be CAS or not to be CAS

My first clean and simple or CAS card challenge entry of the year. 

Custom Monogrammed Shades

My daughter's name is Tabitha and her friends call her Tabs. She wanted a monogram of sorts and we decided on her nickname for her new shades. I was a little worried if it would cut this small on my Silhouette cameo without this special blade everyone has been raving over. I have used the same blade that came with my machine and it still turned out fantastic! 

Hello Kitty Car Decal

I made this adorable Hello kitty cartoon face into a car decal! 

Valentines Heart Card

Yesterday, I joined The Outlawz Challenge Paper A La Mode, and my 

first card of the year is this cutie patootie! I colored her with Copic 

markers, used Ruby Slippers stickles on the heart she is holding, liquid 

pearls on the little dots behind her, and the card cut out design is a 

Silhouette Cameo file that you can find in the Silhouette store! 

Color Drop

Hello crafty friends! Today for the first time I refilled a few of my Copic markers. I had one issue where the tip was so dried out it was like a rock for a good hour until I decided I would just replace the tip. I searched high and low across the internet for my issue even posted a what to do question in Copic marker Facebook group, but after 20 minutes of my post going unanswered across the web my patience grew thin and that is when I reached the decision to just change out the tip. Within seconds the ink filled the tip and I was in business. Your probably wondering what it has to do with this posted picture. As you see in the pic there are polka dots all over image. Why? One of the markers I refilled today decided as soon as I was done using it to drop a droplet of ink onto my image. At first, I was like "Grrrrr", but then I just went for it and started putting polka dots everywhere!

Valentine, You Uplift Me!

For this card I wanted to use bright cheery colors! I used Glossy accents on the balloon hearts to make them pop from the page. 

Valentine Romeo

My first card from last night completed! Are you ready for Valentines Day? I sure am trying to build up my Valentine Card stash to send to my out of state friends and family! 

Personalized Black Cat Pillow Pet

Last night I decided to try my luck at personalizing a pillow pet. It turned out great! All the heat press ladies were talking about how they buy hundreds of pillow pets at a time from their local Dollar Tree. I was lucky to have found 3 left and I only took one to play with so that I could make my Great Niece her very own! 

Wedding Gift Basket

The completed wedding gift basket and 2 weeks paid time off of work for my husbands son! I don't think you can do much better than that! 

Custom Wedding Tile

I made this custom wedding tile for Brian and Chantel. The top photo was bubbling up on me so I had to redo it and make them another. 

Etched Wedding Coffee Mugs

For the couple that does not drink alcohol, but does drink coffee. I made them a set of etched coffee mugs!

Custom Wedding Candle

I took the wedding invitation I received and turned it into a beautiful wedding candle keepsake! It really turned out gorgeous! 

Wedding Bells Ringing

I use to be on the Digistamps4Joy design team and I had made the above card for one of the challenges. I was great at making the cards or card fronts but actually putting them into an entire card was the issue. So for this blog posting I wanted to show you how using my Silhouette Sketch pens I finished the above card with a customized greeting and signature.

Full Bobbins

Yesterday, I decided to dust off the SE-400 Brother Embroidery machine and play. I found an old handkerchief and I knew my Dad uses hankies so I decided to monogram his initials. It did not come easy by any means. I hadn't checked my bobbin before starting and half way through the monogram my bobbin ran out. The worst part is even after looking at the diagram I managed to reinsert my bobbin upside down and the monogram did not turn out well. 

I found this phrase and thought that would be perfect on the wall by my sewing area. I could not get it to stick to the wall and it is suppose to be wall vinyl from Hobby Lobby. I decided to attempt placing it on a piece of acrylic painters paper and I had a great bit of difficulty trying to do so. As you can see by the word, always above it was a difficult task,. Oh well at least it is on something  and I didn't wast the vinyl phrase!
