Vintage Screen Card with Cathy

January 26, 2015January 26, 2015

Hi Everyone! Cathy here with you today sharing a couple of cards created with Lori’s Carta Bella Yesterday Collection. The first one features her new Screen Card with Flowers. I am loving these new screen cards, there are 3 different ones to choose from; a wedding and baby cards along with this flower one. Lots of fun layers with the Carta Bella Yesterday papers and embellishments. You have four different screens to decorate….I chose to decorate three and will write my sentiment of the fourth screen. I also chose to add the flowers included in the file on the third screen instead of the front. The fun border on the bottom of the entire card was cut using a Designer Die from Carta Bella called Yesterday Edges.

And while I was in the vintage mood, I created on more card using A2 Tabbed Card & Sleeve Scalloped. How cute is this file?! Love the scallops and fun little envelope….perfect for turning the journaling cards in the collection into cute cards!

Thanks for joining us today!

You can find these files also in the

Print and Cut New Years Eve Party Favors by Tya Smith

December 22, 2014December 17, 2014

Hi blog friends! Thank you so much for stopping by during this crazy time of year! It’s great to have you here! My design style is based on simplicity! I adore a quick and easy, yet super creative idea especially during the busy times of year – So today, I thought I would share with you a couple of New Years Eve party favors. One of the main reasons why I love using Lori Whitlock’s files is that they are darling (of course) and they are so easy to put together. I also utilized my Print and Cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo – another time saver for me and a great way to use some of my favorite digital papers from Lori’s collection. Let me show you what I did!

All papers are from the Birthday Fun Patterns Digital papers found on Snap Click Supply.

I did a french fry style box for my Midnight Kisses favor. Add a few Hershey Kisses to the bag, tie a bow and you are set!

The label on the front highlights one of my favorite new fonts called LW Curious- isn’t it darling! I also added some enamel dots for some dimension as well.

Midnight Kisses Box Supplies:

3D Snowflake Box (Silhouette) Winter Snowflake Box (Lori Whitlock Shop)
4 Bracket Labels (Silhouette) Bracket Label Shapes (Lori Whitlock Shop)
LW Curious Font (Silhouette) LW Curious Font (Lori Whitlock Shop)
Clock- Alarm (Silhouette Store Only)
Treat Bag Topper Birthday (Silhouette) Bag Topper Birthday (Lori Whitlock Shop) (for the flower shape with the enamel dot on it.)

The next favor was originally a candy holder, but what New Years Eve celebration is complete without a little confetti? I added some fun star shaped confetti to the inside of the box.

One little change I did to this file is that when I went to tie the tuelle, there was a big hole in the box ends that the confetti would leak out of, so I just added a 3/4 inch circle punched from cardstock to cover the ends up.

Confetti Popper Supplies

3D Large Candy Box (Silhouette) Large Candy Box (Lori Whitlock SVG Shop)
Treat Bag Topper Birthday (Silhouette) Bag Topper Birthday (Lori Whitlock SVG Shop) (for the flower shape with the enamel dot on it.)
2015 Calendar Print and Cut (2015) (Silhouette) 2015 Calendar P&C (Lori Whitlock SVG Shop) (for 2015 title)
4 Bracket Label Shapes (Silhouette) Bracket Label Shapes (Lori Whitlock SVG Shop)

So hopefully I have inspired you to whip of some of these fun little favors for your New Years Eve festivities.

If you have kids at your party, how fun would these be for them? Thanks for stopping by, and stop by my blog http://simply-tya.blogspot.com/ and say hi! Happy Holidays!
