Choo Choo Train Digital Paper

Hi all, 

Rachel here,

with a little treat bag I made using the Baby Express Choo Choo Train paper set.

I made the bag topper for a goodie bag for my son's 5th birthday party. He wanted trains, and I thought this adorable paper was perfect!

I am going to use this paper for the invites as well, but just haven't gotten that far yet! Yes, I know. I am making the thanks for coming BEFORE the invites, but I had a challenge to make thank you's.  Not many places make challenges for invites!

Hope you enjoy these easy to make toppers with some ADORABLE paper!

Cupcake Toppers!

It's been a few since I have posted... have you missed me?!

Rachel here! I wanted to share with you the cupcake toppers I made for my oldest son's birthday party that is coming up WAY too fast!

I made sure to take a picture with the back of the topper showing too. I cut the blue shape out on my silhouette. Can you tell where I got that shape?

I cut out one for the front, and then another for the back. But because I didn't want to be wasteful, I cut one in half and pasted it to the back so it was just enough to cover the stick. Actually, reverse that. I used the half piece for the front because once I put the white layer on over the half piece, you couldn't tell it was just a half and looked smoother! 

(I didn't use a toothpick cause didn't want the sharp point at a four year olds birthday party! I used a coffee stir straw instead that I cut down to size.)

Okay, so back to the blue shape... have you figured out where I got the shape from yet? It is from this set:

I used the wheels! Too cool huh! And the image on the cupcake topper came from this set:

(Just click on the images to find the sets in the Etsy shop!)

Wish me luck, the party is this weekend and there will be A LOT of little kids in one room for the party!

Monster Truck Cutting Files

BlackLeaf Studio's now has .SVG files for your cutting pleasure!  

These files are great!  They work well with your cricut and SCAL, but for those of you with a Silhouette and the NEW studio, you do have to make a few changes. It does take a few steps, but it is so worth it... I am so excited! I can cut all the .svg files from BLS!
YAY ME!

So here is my card for today using the BLS file Monster Trucks:

The tractor came from HERE. 

Thanks for looking at my card!

Valentine Love Challenge

This week - we have have a stunning new project to share with you along with yet another fun challenge.
As some of you may have known - Blackleaf Studios specializes in SVGs - for die cutting on Cricut, Silhouette, Craft Robo and like minded die cutting machines...i say like minded cause I believe my Cricut does infact have a mind of its own...sometimes it helps me cut and most times I help it do that for me.. :)

Prefer to manually cut out these beauties - they also come in a Printable format so you just print, cut and adorn your Valentine Bakes.

So heres what I created using the SVGs set that is now in the Blackleaf Store - Valentine Magic Cupcake Wrappers.

That brings us to this weeks challenge - share with us your non-card Valentines Day paper craft projects...just link them up here and we'll be giving away this very gorgeous set of Printable and SVG Cupcake Wrappers to one lucky winner !
