Fun Thanksgiving Place Setting Idea for Printable Cuttable Creatables

         Hello, my friends!

It's time for a new post for Printable Cuttable Creatables!

Thanksgiving is next weekend here in Canada, and next month in the US.
I've come up with a fun place setting idea that I wanted to share.

I wanted to take a photo of this on my Thanksgiving dinner plate.
However, I can't find half of my Thanksgiving dishes.
I have cups & saucers, cream & sugar, and a serving bowl.
No plates to be found...yet!

Here's my project:

Isn't that lovely?...and perfect for a Thanksgiving place setting!
I sized it at 6 1/2" wide, so that it would fit nicely on a plate.

Here's what I cut out:

You might notice that I cut an extra base piece in green.

Here's what I did with that:

I added the green piece to the back of the neutral base.
I added a stamped journal spot, along with the "Thankful" title.
If you don't have appropriate stamps, 
you can do the same thing with a ruler and pen.

All of the guests at my Thanksgiving dinner will have a Thankful Heart on their plate.
They can then document whatever they are thankful for,

and take it home for a reminder.

My dishes really suit the style of this project.
If you're setting a fancier table, you could make some simple adjustments to make it work.
Just use some foiled or glittered papers, and add some sparkle and shine!

Happy Thanksgiving Day with Dr. Digi's House of Stamps

 Hello, my friends!

I'm very happy to be sharing a project as Guest Design Team member for
Dr. Digi's House of Stamps!

If you're not familiar with Dr Digi's, it's an online shop that carries a wonderful - and fun -
assortment of digital images, papers, and sentiments. They also carry some fabulous cutting files!

I have used all four of those things to create my card;
 the digital pumpkin image,
the pumpkin background paper,
the Thanksgiving sentiment,
and the brick cut file.

Here it is: 

I created a 5 1/2" square card base, from white cardstock.
I then printed the background paper out, and cut that at 5 1/2" square,
adhering it to the front of my card base. 
I also sized the brick stencil at 5 1/2" square, and cut it from black cardstock.

I sized the pumpkin image to print one large and two smaller pumpkins.
I then coloured them and fussy cut them out.

I snipped out part of the brick cut, to show off more of the background paper,
and to open a spot for the sentiment.
The sentiment was circle die-cut, and then matted twice,

before adhering it in place with foam tape.
I backed the brick with a matching solid coloured cardstock.
Finally, I adhered the pumpkins in place;
the large one flat, and the two smaller with foam tape.

Thanksgiving is fast approaching here in Canada, and next month in the US.
So I thought it would be appropriate to create a Thanksgiving card.
Since all of the products I used are digital, and available right away,
you have lots of time to make one of your own! :o)

Other Materials Used:

Autumn Greetings Card - Printable Cuttable Creatables

       Hello, my friends! Happy Fall!

It's time for a new project share for Printable Cuttable Creatables!

I am loving the cooler temperatures and ALL that is FALL!
So I just had to create a Fall card! 

I have used:

 Autumn Greetings SVG Cut File,
 
and Autumn Harvest Digital Paper Pack.

Here's my project:

For me...plaid just goes hand in hand with Fall (Christmas too)!
So I used this lovely plaid paper from the collection for my background.

This is such a lovely/intricate cut!
In Cricut Design Space, I sized it to fit my card.
Then it was simply a matter of cutting and gluing.
I did do a little inking of the pumpkin stem, and around the plaid paper.
 

To finish everything off I added some pretty sparkly sequins!

There are SO MANY fabulous Fall files in the shop!
I'll be using more of them in the months ahead!

U R Out of This World Card - Printable Cuttable Creatables

         Hello, my friends!

It's time for a new project share for Printable Cuttable Creatables!

Have you seen all the fabulous Space Themed files that have been added to the shop?
So many fun new listings!
I have combined three of them on my project today.  

I have used:

Out of this World Title SVG,

Spaceship Rocket SVG File,

and Planets SVG File.

Here's my project:

Isn't that Fun? 
Here's how I did it:

I began by making my background.
I've inked "galaxy" backgrounds before.
However, these cuts have so much color in them that I wanted something different.
This was so simple!
I cut a piece of black cardstock 5 1/2" square.
I used a fan brush, with white acrylic paint, and simply splattered the paper.
Then I set it aside to thoroughly dry.

Here are all the pieces I cut out:

The fun title cut includes a little rocket.
Since I was using a bigger rocket, I decided to leave that out.
I had an idea...so I cut 2 of the "OUT" and "WORLD".

From the second cut, I used only a "U" and an "R".
Now my title is "U R OUT OF THIS WORLD".

Then it was just a matter of gluing all the little bits together,
and adhering them in place on the background.
I then added it to a yellow card base.

I did curve the spaceship slightly, and adhered in place with foam tape.

Such a fun card to put together!
Head on over to the shop and check out all the space files!

Good Vibes Card for Printable Cuttable Creatables

  Hello, my friends!

It's time for a new project share for Printable Cuttable Creatables!
This time I have made a fun card that looks like Summer! 

I have used:

Groovy Retro SVG Bundle 

This is another fabulous bundle of goodies that is full of creative possibilities!

Here's my project:

Isn't that fun?
These cars have always been near and dear to my heart!
Whether you call them Volkswagens, Beetles, or Bugs;
they're just wonderful!

My cousin is currently restoring his old Bug.
Maybe my card will give him some ideas for the paint job!? lol
It was so much fun to cut and add all those lovely decorative bits.

I used foiled paper to give the "chrome" the proper shine.

My black card base measures 5 1/2" square, with the yellow mat at 5" square.
I sized everything else to fit into 5", in Cricut Design Space.

This card was lots of fun to put together. 
All the little embellishments are quite small but they cut beautifully!
It was a breeze to put together, using tweezers and a glue pen.
