12 x 12 MOTHERS DAY TILES

Mothers day is right around the corner so I wanted to make a couple tiles to be placed in the consignment store I have my items at "Works of Heart". I found the beautiful grey tile at Lowes and just new I would have to use the white vinyl. It worked perfect as it is just stunning. The pictures do not truly did them any justice. My camera is also not doing so well or it could be me the picture taker. I will need to research and learn how to take a better picture of my products. 

Below are the two JPG files I created to import into "SCAL" or "Make the Cut"

To import just click on the trace icon at the top of the program, find the file and click on okay. The image has now been converted to an svg file for you to cut in your cutter. ENJOY!!!

Here is a youtube video on how to trace in SCAL

CHRISTMAS STOCKING GIFT BOXES

Each one of my coworkers received one of these cute little stockings filled with my white/dark chocolate bark. I cut the svg stocking file I found at "Images by Heather M" (click on her name to get the free file)on my cricut cutter. First I cut the color card stock I wanted the stocking to be then I did the printed paper I wanted to be the print for the stocking.

The box is made by cutting card stock 7 3/4 x 7 3/4 score 1 1/2 all 4 sides. Cut the slits on all 4 corners and assemble the box. I used a template I created from a stoking for exact placement on both sides of the stocking for the box so that I did not have to keep placing it and taking it off. I did this by cutting an extra stocking shape, centering a box and tracing around it on the stocking. I cut the traced box shape out and used as my template.

The Fan ornament was created from a 1 x 12 strip of card stock and scoring at every 1/4 of an inch. I finished it of with the CTMH stamp set Holiday Greetings and attached it to the stocking with ribbon and gold wire trim.

CHOCOLATE BARK RECIPE

1 Package White Chocolate Morsels

1 Package Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels

6 Dark Chocolate Dove pieces

6 White Chocolate Ghiradelle pieces

I take and melt all my chocolate at the same time using double boilers

Place all the white chocolate in one boiler and all the dark in another. Once all melted pour 3/4 of the dark chocolate in a lined cookie sheet. You can use parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spread the chocolate throughout the whole pan. Now drop spoon fulls of the white chocolate on top every 2-3 inches apart throughout the whole pan. Take a knife and swirl the white Chocolate in with the dark. Top off with the remaining Dark Chocolate by drizzling it over  the other two layers. Finish with some of your favorite Christmas Jimmies.

Refrigerate for 2 hours. Once chilled take it out and break it apart into little bite size pieces. I then chill it once again to harden as it can go soft while breaking it.

SISTERS TILES

My sister are by far (outside of DH) my BEST FRIENDS!!! I have been blessed to have 3 beautiful sisters whom I am very close to. Oh YES we squabble at times and have a matter of different opionions but in the end it's out differences that keep us so close. I love working with my cricut cutter and Word art that I create or I find that allows being used with my cricut. I cut this svg file with SCAL 2 and cut it out to fit a 9 3/4 x 7 3/4 tile. After I adhered the vinyl I then used stazon ink and stamps to finish off the personal touch of each tile. Each one is tailored to each sister. The butterflys are a retired set from stampin up and the fairies are from Inkadinkadoo.

THANKSGIVING GOODY BOXES

Every year I create some type of goody boxes filled with treats for my co-works. This year they will be getting Ferrero Rocher & Ferrero Rondnoir Chocolates & Homemade Fudge.

ROCHER FERRERO FAVOR BOX

I created the Ferreo box to put (3) chocolates in (2) of the Rocher & (1) Rondnoir. I created the cut SCAL file in SCAL 2. I then cut out the leaves using my big kick and some leaves dies that I had. The acetate on the top is cut to the same width as the top cover. I placed the button in the middle of the leaves with a sticky dot and then punched the whole with a piercing tool so that I could bring the ribbon through a tie a bow.

Scoring
across the 6 1/4 you will start at the end that doesnt have the cut out leaves as that is the top of the box
Score @ 1 3/8, 2 1/2, 4 1/8, 5 1/2
Turn the 6 7/8 length and score each end 1 3/8

FUDGE BOX

The box below was created to put 3 small bags of fudge in for my co-workers. It will be filled with Orange cream, Pumpkin Fudge & Peanut Butter Fudge. I used the leave cut out from the box for the Tag. The clear acetate is a piece measured 3 x 4 1/2 and adhered to the inside of the box. Tie it off with ribbon and the tag and it is good to go.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION ON ASSEMBLING THE BOXES JUST DROP ME A COMMENT OR EMAIL.

ASHLEE ROSE

I spent most of the afternoon today working on this frame stand and scrap page to be placed on it. I used Bazzil Card Stock and cut the Scroll Frame SCAL File I created 3 times. I adhered each layer with Crystal Effects to give it stability.

The flowers were created using my Cricut Cutter and the Cartridge Plantin Schoolbook that I also used to create the two stamped tags.

I stamped the butterfly's with a stampin up set I have and cut them out so that I could then add glimmer misting spray I made with my pearl ex, glue and water. I also misted the flowers to give them some glimmer.
