Click here to join us on Facebook!

Today i would like to show you a "tutorial" on how i created this card for our Saturday SVG on Facebook.

I used a beautiful Card topper that was originally colored by Sherri that i turned into a 3D.

Click here for the card topper.

 

Do you love 3D and printables???  We have a wonderful My Besties Challenge where you can win 3D or printables from Sherri Baldy's store just by entering your card!

Click here for the My Besties 3D challenge! 

My Besties 3D is looking for some new designers you can also click here to apply!

Let me show you how i created the card above using the Silhouette Cameo:

Supplies needed:

SVGs from Sherri's My Besties Shop

Card Shape 3

Window with Tree

Card Topper CP1

Cream cardstock

White cardstock

Light aqua designer paper

Tim Holtz stars

Stampendous Shaved Ice Glitter

Pink Sequins

Step one:

Using the Card shape bring it into the Silhouette and offset the card base. Copy and weld the two together to make your folded card base.

Step two:

Cut out the Card Shape in the colors shown. (i did not change any size settings)

Step three:

Layer your card sections and put on top of the folded card base as shown. (Tip- I put the tape on the card base and then place the card layers on top.

Step four:

Cut out the Window with the tree. i used the erase button to make just the tree by erasing the window.  I reduced the size twice to create the layers.

Step 5

Add your window layers to the card base layers.  I used foam tape on the cream tree and the smallest tree to give a bit of dimension to the trees. 

I added the star gems from Tim Holtz.

Sherri Baldy SVG Saturday on Facebook- Let's make a "Brag Bag"

Welcome to My Besties SVG Saturday where i will share my newest My Besties SVG files with you and some older ones with a "twist".

We will have a "party" sharing the newest Sherri Baldy SVG files on Saturday on Facebook My Besties Designs - Click here to see all of the Design Team cards/projects on FB!

Do any of you remember "Brag Books"?  They were small books where you would have pictures of your grandchildren or your kids and carry them around in your purse to show your friends and family when ever they asked about your grandkids/children.

I decided to create a "Brag Bag", same concept as the "Brag Books" but with an svg and as a gift for my daughter.

I am using SVG file "Bag" available at Sherri Baldy's MyBestiesShop.com here.

***To make this bag look like the "brag bag" you need to do some hand cutting as well.  I cut off the flaps on the sides and bottom of the bag.  Made a strip the width of the bag and added a few inches to create the bottom crease. (you are left with only the handles and the bag front or back) (I can't give dimensions because it is based on how "big" you make your svg bag.) Then inside i cut a strip to go across the whole width (minus the handles) added the frames and the photos.

I am also using
SVG Fancy Frames
SVG stocking (in the Christmas pocket letter set)

When you untie the bow on the handle you can see the inside:

Sherri Baldy is also selling darling charms, i happened to color this one up for her so i am super excited to share this one:
