Decorative Cutting Board Tutorial with Brandie

Hi there crafty friends! Brandie here with a tutorial for the decorative cutting board I made for my chicken loving aunt.

I found this cute shaped cutting board at Michael’s they also had a few other shapes as well. But I needed the chicken.

The Farm Fresh Eggs comes from the Farm Animal Dingbats Font. You can find it here in Loris shop and here in the Silhouette store. This type of file is uploaded like a new font to your computer that can then be used in your cutting software.

Once I had the font loaded to my computer I typed out the alphabet until I found the image I wanted. In this case it is the letter O.

I enlarged the image to 8 inches wide and sent it to my cutting mat. I cut the image out of chalkboard vinyl. I like how sticky it is and the texture it gives to the words.

When possible I like to weed my cut images while they are still on the cutting mat. So that when it comes time to place the transfer tape the image is flat and secure.

I centered my cut image on the cutting board using the jute hanger as a guide.

Pressing firmly I rubbed each letter then peeled up the transfer tape.

Here she is all cute and ready to ship. Enjoy the rest of your week and thanks for stopping by!

Easter Bunny Tote with Brandie

Hi there crafty friend! Brandie here with a cute and easy Easter bunny basket idea. If you are like me and want to give something small for Easter than this tote is perfect!

The Easter bunny tote file can be found here in Lori Whitlock’s shop and here in the Silhouette store. This little tote is cute as is but I wanted to use  the new Easter bunny faces files. They have so much personality!

I  removed the face on the tote and did a print and cut with the boy and girl bunny face files on the support piece that is included in the tote file. You can find the girl bunny here and the boy bunny here in Loris shop and here and here in the Silhouette store.

All of the pattern papers are from the 6×6 paper pads of Echo Park’s Sweet Baby Girl and Sweet Baby Boy collections

I hope you all have a Happy Easter. Thanks for stopping by!

Rolled Flower Arrow Sign Tutorial with Brandie

Hi there crafty friends! Brandie here with a another sign tutorial.

One of my goals for this year is to complete several of my in process projects. I am guilty of starting several projects at once then not finishing them to start something else. Ha! I hope I’m not the only one!

This sign is one of those projects. I attended Pinners conference two year ago and purchased the kit to make this sign. For the longest time I only had the arrow painted on the wood. Yesh!  The original design included felt flowers that I did not like so being the paper loving girl I am I found some rolled flowers that are perfect.

I used Rolled Flower 30, Rolled flower 31, and Rolled flower 32. You can find them in Loris shop and in the Silhouette store.

I uploaded the flowers into Cricut Design space duplicated and resized them to have three different sizes.

I cut the flowers out of 65lb cardstock. I prefer the lighter cardstock for making flowers. I find it easier to work with. I started with the outside end and wound the petals toward the center circle. While still holding the flower I loosened my grip on the flower to let it out a little. I applied some hot glue to the circle then pushed the petals down on the glue. I then flared the petals out to create a more natural look.

I dry fit the flowers on the arrow first. I then glued the leaves on the flowers and then glued the flowers onto the arrow.

I have this sign as part of a gallery wall in my front entire. That’s it for me today.
