TSF - American Crafts - Daydreamer (Our New Arrivals Layout)

Here is another project I created using the American Crafts Daydreamer Line  We had this Cute Little Robins nest this past year and we ended up with these cute little fluffy birds!  I could not resist creating a layout about it! 

The Twig was created using the Straight from the Nest Cricut Cartridge and was cut at 5"  The Birdhouse is a sizzix die  The Clouds and Owls are from the matching sticker Remarks sheet from American Crafts.

The next was created using teh Give a Hoot Cricut Cartridge and was cut at 3 3/4"  The title was created using Pink My Little Shoebox Letter Stickers and American Crafts Thickers (Amy Tangerine "Lovely")  I made the work Arrivals stick up a little by adding them to some acetate and attaching it to the pop dotted nest.

I coul not resist adding a little more dimension to the twig by cutting 2 copies of the leaves from the paterened paper and folding them down the centre to give them dimension before gluing the 2nd leaf down.

TSF - American Crafts (Amy Tangerine) Reveal #4 - Picture Purrfect Layout

Here is my final reveal using the American Crafts Amy Tangerine Line! 

I handcut the Sun and cloud from the Patterned paper and when attaching it I made sure that some of the sun rays overlapped the phot.  Here I again used an exacto knife to trim around the camera on the Patterned paper and sliped my cute little photo of my cat Miko outside soaking up the sun on our Front porch off the Master Bedroom!  I cut a few scalloped Strips of patterned paper using my Split punch from Stampin Up but any scalloped punch would work just perfectly! 

I added som Sassafrass Cardstock Stickers and some Bella Blvd Chipboard Letter stickers and added some punched hearts to the centres of the letters!  As you can tell I just could not resist the play on the word perfect by changing it to purrfect because of Miko!

I added a little journaling strips along the side and added some popdots to some of the journal strips!

Here is a close up of the scallops!

Products Used:  PP American Crafts (Amy Tangerine), Sassafrass Cardstock Stickers (Title), Bella Blvd Sofphisticates Chipboard Letters (Title), small Heart Punch, Stampin Up Split Punch (scalloped strips of pp).

TSF - American Crafts (Amy Tangerine) Reveal #3

Todays Reveal is another 3D Project that I have created using 2 SVG Files that I found online at My Time Made Easy   The Tulips SVG File is Called Tender Tulips from the My Time Made Easy SVG Shop.  Here I created them from the Patterned Paper and I covered Straws with patterned paper to use as the stems.

The other SVG File I used was the Fresh Popped Popcorn Box from the My Time Made Easy SVG shop.  If you score the top and fold it down it looks like a flower pot!  I used Some Bo Bunny Double Dot paper to create the base and Embossed the Off White cardstock with the Cuttlebug Divine Swirl Embosing Folder.

I then Cut the Frame from the Patterned Paper and added the Cloud Sticker and then stamped the Word Sweet from the American Crafts Line in Brown ink on off white cardstock

To give the Pot some weight I added a few beans and covered them with some moss I had in my stash.  This will also help the tulips to stand up in the pot.

PRODUCTS USED:  Patterned Paper American Crafts (Amy Tangerine) - Frame & Tulips, Cardstock (Off White), Bo Bunny Double Dot (Brown), My Time Made Easy SVG Files (Tulips, Flower pot), American Crafts Remarks Stickers - Friends (Cloud Sticker), Sweet Stamp (American Crafts), Cuttle Bug Embosing Folder (Divine Swirl), Straws, Beans, Dry Plant Moss

TSF - American Crafts (Amy Tangerine) Reveal #2

 Here is Reveal # 2 for the Amy Tangerine Line from American Crafts!    Here is a very simple layout I created about things I enjoy in life right now!

I cut the Scalloped border at 1 1/2"  using the Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge(Pg 23) and topped the border Strip with a rosette trim I had left over in my stash...  I added the Thickers Chipboard Letters for the title!

I choose to cut the frames from the Patterned Paper and attach them in the corner to use for my Journaling on the layout! 

There was a details sticker from the other American Crafts Line Daydreams that I played with and I thought it was just too perfect for the flower on the righthand bottom corner.  I changed it up a bit because it had some orange bling in the centre and wanted the centre of the flower to match the page better so I replaced it with some bling from Basic Grey that I had in my stash!

PRODUCTS USED:  PP American Crafts (Amy Tangerine), Cricut Cartridge Elegant Edges (Scallop Trim), Prima trim (Grey rosette Trim), Thickers Elf Chipboard Letters (Title), Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly Punch (Butterflies), American Crafts Details Stickers - Chirpy (Flower), BasicGrey Designer Half Pearls Opaline (Bling for centre of the flower)

Here is a close up of the Clouds that I had hand cut from a second piece of paper and then I punched some butterflies from a Martha Stewart Monarch Punch and pop dotted some of the clouds.  I added a little bling and stickles to some of the butterflies!
