Hi there friends! Brandie here with a cute flower card I made with the Shaped Card Flower 1 file. (SVG, Silhouette). This card comes together very easily and can be cut in any color to reflect the time and season.
I added a few extras to the base file of this card. I cut the petals three times in concentric layers and the flower center twice. I then stitched through the petals for added texture and detail.
This card will defiantly brighten someone’s day. Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi there friends! Brandie here with a tutorial for the Easter house ornament. These little ornaments are darling hanging on spring branches but I also think they would make cute place settings for your Easter dinner table.
I used the House Ornament Easter Bundle from Lori’s shop. Each ornament is also in the Silhouette store. Easter basket, Easter lamb, Chocolate bunny, Easter chick. and Easter bunny. The paper is textured cardstock in spring colors.
I uploaded all of the houses into Cricut Design Space, attached the score lines, and flattened the décor pieces (turned them into a print and cut) to make the decorating easier. I also color synced the white and yellow items.
Once everything was cut I folded the score lines. Most of the score lines are mountain folds except for the roof peaks, they are valley folds. Valley folds shown below. I also inked the edges of my windows and doors.
While the house was still flat I glued the windows and doors first, then the grass. I added glue to the sides tabs then folded the house in half and tucked the tabs in to glue into place.
I then shaped the roof on the house. Folding the top tabs down into the house and pushing the sides of the house towards the center to create the eaves.
I then added glue to the inside corners then pinched together until dry. I applied glue to the top of house then lined up the hole in the roof with the whole in the house and held together while the glue dried.
For the chimney I added glue to the outside tab and folded in half to create a box. Then added glue to remaining tabs and held down on roof until dry. (for my other houses I cut a small rectangle from scrap paper and glued to the bottom of the chimney then glued to the house.)
I then tied some decorative yarn into a loop and threaded through the whole in the roof.
I then folded the bottom tabs in adding glue to each layer to secure the bottom of the house. I then repeated the steps for the remaining houses.
I then decorated the houses with the cute characters, eggs, and flowers.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoy your holiday weekend!

Hi there crafty Friends! Brandie here sharing a card I made for a Nana who loves getting hugs but lives far away.
I used the Shadow box card scene Valentine Bear (SVG, Silhouette) and one of the Twist Pop cards (SVG, Silhouette). I resized and used the bear and hearts from the shadow box card for the front images of my card. I also altered the word on the inside of the twist pop card to say hugs rather than cake.
The papers and stickers are from the Spring Fling collection by Echo Park.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there friends! Brandie here with a fun holiday banner. I enjoy making banners and my little guy gets a kick out of the cute characters and images of the season. This banner came together really quickly.
I used the Leprechaun Face (SVG, Silhouette), Pot of Gold (SVG, Silhouette), Shamrock cluster (SVG, Silhouette), and the 3D Flower 29 (SVG, Silhouette). For the leprechaun and pot of gold I converted the cut files to a print and cut on glossy photo paper. The shamrocks and flowers are cut from cardstock.
That’s it for me today. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi there Friends and Happy Valentines Day! Today I am sharing this scrapbook layout I made using the XOXOXO ( SVG, Silhouette) file as a background for my layout.
Once I had the cut file uploaded to Cricut Design Space I adjusted the proportions to make it a square.
I also did not want the heart to be a separate cut from the XOXO so I selected everything and welded the images together.
I also added a few files from the Doodlebug collection French kiss. French Kiss Birds (SVG, Silhouette), French Kiss Clouds (SVG), French Kiss Balloons (SVG, Silhouette), French Kiss Flowers (SVG) , French Kiss Ferris Wheel (SVG, Silhouette), and French Kiss Key and Locks (SVG). 
I used white cardstock to cut the XOXOXO background.
The only spaced I backed with paper was the heart shape.
I also added a few straight stitches with a sewing machine. I ruffed the edges of the paper with an edges distresser tool.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you get to spend this Valentines Day with all your favorite people!
