Cuttlebug Placecards

November 28, 2011 By designteam 2 Comments

Hi everyone!

I’m not super-proficient with the Cuttlebug so when I got my assignment to create something with the Cuttlebug this month, I wanted to keep it simple, experiment, and have some fun.

Since Thanksgiving was last week in the United States and more holidays are coming up, it thought it would be fun to create some place cards for the guests you might have over during this season of celebration.

Here’s what the finished card looks like:

The first thing I did was to cut a piece of Mistables paper and put it through the Cuttlebug using Fanciful Labels. I had several different label pieces.

I then used my distress inks to color the labels lightly so the pattern showed through.

The next step was to cut a small rectangular piece of the special Nantucket Core’dinations Pack. I put it through the Cuttlebug using the Seeing Spots embossing folder. Here’s how it looked at that point:

The next step was to cut the paper so it was slightly larger than my label and sand it so the white in the “core” showed through. So now I had both my pieces ready:

The last step was to ink around the edge of the diecut label piece and glued it on top of the blue one. I then used some Cushies to add the name on top and I was done! Here it is one more time:

If your guests’ names are longer, the set has other labels. You can also use smaller letters and even put the label through your typewriter.

I hope this gives you a fun little idea to use next time you have a dinner party. Thank you for letting me share.

Product Pick – Snow Day Bitty Blocks

November 27, 2011 By Piradee 2 Comments

Hi Everyone,

For this week’s product pick – it’s all about the cute Bitty Blocks alphabets from the Snow Day collection.  These are the perfect size for any project and I’m loving especially the variation in the font styles.  Here I’ve used it through out the mini album – as subtitles and also for the journaling details.  Another one of my favorite product from this collection are the Dimensional Stickers – these are just too cute and some of them even have a touch of silver color (the snow couple and “bundle up” phrase dimensional stickers were used below).

For the Bitty Blocks – you’ll being get two sets of alphabets – one in white and blue and the other set as pink and black; with 5 different font styles to play with.

And here are a few more pages from my mini album where I’ve these cute alphabets, along with various die cuts from the Snow Day ephemera pack.  Also to add a hint of sweetness to the winter colors, I included the yellow glitter sticker alphabets (and hearts) from the Sweetness collection.

And a close up of the journaling details, where I’ve mixed up the different font styles…

And a few more crazy pages of me and sis having one snowy time…

And us, just chilling out in snowy Chicago…
