3D Cupcake Holder using Silhouette Cameo

Hello friends,

Happy Monday to you all. I hope you found some crafting time this weekend to join us in

Lulupu Challenge #45

3D with Dies (or a die cutting machine)

Click here for all the details and rules

Tanvi Shah presented us with a beautiful shadow box + tutorial last week. If you haven't already started making your submission, I hope my project inspires you to try.

This project is another first attempt for me - traditional scrapbooking technique - paper piecing and layering. No inks, or stamps just paper and glue. Also, my first big project using the Silhouette Cameo. Here is a close up, any guesses?

Its a carousel which also doubles up as a cupcake holder. All papers have been cut using the Silhouette cameo -  plain, textured, glitter and pearl cardstock . Its definitely a dream machine, I could never have created this project without this die cutting machine. The cut file for the carousel is from www.svgcuts.com

There is place for 8 cupcakes and the horses are meant to be cupcake toppers. If you look closely, you can see that the horses have been temporarily fixed to the cupcake wrappers using washi tape. They can easily be removed later and inserted into the cupcake.

The top of the carousel can also be removed, there is enough place for a card and a light weight gift.

 

The biggest challenge I faced was what glue to use. After some trial and error, I used a combination of dry and wet glues. Just curious - what glue and brand do you use for projects like this?

 

I hope this post made your Monday a little more inspired 

So, dust those dies or cutting machines, take a leap of faith like I did and share your creation here with us.

Hello!!!

This is Varshitha here.. Hope you all had a great weekend.. Mine was fantastic! I am super excited about the current Lulupu Challenge - #17, Load it Up!!! I love to load up my cards with lots of layers and flowers and still make them CAS cards too.. :P

When coming to floral projects I love handmade flowers and my love for handmade flowers was by seeing Rajni ji's and Erum's work. I am always stunned seeing their work. :) Seeing this inspiring world of crafting I decided to make these awesome Gardenis.I am so very excited to show them here... Being a lazy crafter its one of the easy way to make flowers, instead of pinching and molding each petal, these beauties can be done very easily.. Yes I'm showing you a small tutorial on how to make these Gardenias...

Now about my card ..... I have made a typical floral card. A Floral card is what I always prefer for loved ones, making my own flowers and gifting it as a card gives soo much happiness to me.

Here it is..

Baby Boy Mini Album

Hello crafting friends!!

This Ruthie and today I bring a Mini Album for a baby boy!! I used to think that doing a MA would be hard and would take time; but no; it's really easy to do them.

First I made the base of the MA with white solid cardstock. I used my Silhouette Cameo; and the file album for a baby.

Then I used DWCV patter paper to cover the base cardstock. Added the ultrasound images and added stickers with baby motives to embellish the album.

It's easy to combine papers when you use the same collection of papers. Or go ahead and mix and match from your collection!

Since this is a MA for a baby boy I chose boy pattern paper. Aren't these cute?  

I tried to not put a lot of embellishments to keep the attention on the ultrasound images.

The MA is a great idea to keep all the pictures together on one event.

This is the back side of the MA; I left it without embellishments because this part would be facing down. I used the crop-a-dile to make the holes, to put the eyelets and added twine. 

Hope you like Mini Album. This is for my step-daughter who is having a baby boy.

Don't forget to participate on our challenge this month Weather or not . We cannot wait to see you projects! See you next time!!

Technique: Embossing a wine tag

Hello crafting friends!! This is Ruthie and today I come with the embossing technique but with a variant. I decided to do embossing on a wine tag but with different colors; yes, so I used a the VersaMark Watermark Ink Stamp Pad  Dazzle Frost and the Bricks Tempalate. 

Its's quite simple but i would still go ahead and share the easy steps!

STEP 1:

I used the Inkadinkado Embossing Magic Bag to remove any static from the paper. This is one useful product i cannot have neat embossing without. I put the desired stencil on the tag and apply the VersaMark Watermark Ink Stamp Pad  Dazzle Frost over the cardstock. With this particular embossing ink you get a beautiful dazzle effect as well unlike the plain Versamark.

STEP 2:

I used green, yellow and red embossing powders. Choose colours you love! And then with a heat craft tool  settle the embossing powder; you will see how it changes the consistency and creates a fabulous texture look.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut this wine tag ; makes it easier! You can have a wine tag in just a few minutes! Else there are couple of templates floating around too :)

Here is a close up! I used the Lawn Fawn stamp from the set Hello Friend with Archival Dye Ink - Jet Black. Archival inks are water resistant and my favourite. You can use them on all surfaces and they are suitable for stamping, embossing too!

Now it is ready as a gift!

Hope you like this technique and this wine tag. I love it!! You can use this technique for just about andy project!
