Firecracker Boxes

These little Firecrackers are actually a 3D Firecracker Box file made to fill up with treats but they also look super cute displayed as Patriotic decor on your mantel.

To make the Firecracker Boxes, I used my Silhouette CAMEO to cut out the boxes in three different sizes using various patterned papers from the America the Beautiful collection.

I embellished the top of the boxes with curled paper and red, white and blue tinsel.

Father’s Day Bottle Toppers

Dad’s are pretty simple to give gifts too. I know my own Dad doesn’t want anything big and my husband is pretty simple too. Since my husband does like flavored sodas, I had my kids pick out some flavors their Dad would like and added a quick and easy bottle topper on to them.

To make these Father’s Day Bottle Toppers, I used my Silhouette CAMEO to cut out a Father’s Day Tie Bottle Topper file using patterned papers then used my CAMEO again to cut out the letters.

After the toppers were cut out and embellished, they slid easily over the top of the bottle necks. Just like a necktie.

Pineapple Fun Swing Card

Pineapple Fun Swing Card

I’ve always been a big fan of the pineapple. Since I grew up in South Florida, I’ve always been around tropical decor and I’ve even used to grow pineapples on my Lanai in pots. Pineapples really are super easy to grow. Just plant the leafy top part of the pineapple that you cut in to soil and if you’re lucky, in a few months you will have a small pineapple grow. That’s it!

To make this Pineapple Fun Card, I used my Silhouette to cut out a 3 Square Flip Card card using Everyday patterned papers.

Inside the Pineapple Fun Card, I cut small journaling sentiments out of the 6 x 6 paper pad and adhered them on to the middle squares of the flip card.

To make this Teacher Tissue Box, I first used my Silhouette CAMEO to cut out the layers of a 3D Teacher Tissue Box cut file.

I then assembled the tissue box and the apple die cuts together using strong tape and embellished the box with School Days ribbon.

Spring Watering Can Card

I don’t make as many handmade cards as I used to but when I sit down and actually make one, I really do enjoy it. I just love creating things out of pretty paper, adding layers then adding pretty embellishments. The Spring Fling collection is totally full of all that too!
