Show and Tell @ Cuttin' Up With Class

The last Tuesday of every month is 

Show and Tell

over at the Cuttin' Up With Class Blog

You can link up ANY project you have made, old or new. It's a super fun way to show off what you've been working on and see what others have been up to as well! 

I'm just gonna give a little sneak peak of a Halloween Party Package that I made for a little boy and girls' Halloween Birthday party. 

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be sharing the rest of the photos and details of this package, as well as pricing and cost of similar party packages for sale soon!

Puppy Party with SVG Attic Designs

Hello everyone!! So it's my DT day at SVG Attic again, and I have been saving these party pics for a while now just to be able to show you today! 

This is just a few ideas of how you can incorporate svg files into party planning and decorating!! I threw a Puppy Party for my son a few weeks ago and it turned out AMAZING!! I'll show you just the ways I used svg files for the party, and check back tomorrow for all the rest of the party details and pics..... there is a lot of them lol!!

First there was the invitations, 

which I've already shared with you in this post.

Here's a sign I made and put out on the front door.

And I put up some paw prints on the walls to decorate a little...

Then I made cupcake picks and toppers with the same doggie dish svg.

BTW, all the doggie files are from the svg kit 

Jack's Tracks at SVG Attic.

I have just been loving all the fun ways people have been putting up food
labels and signs on their dessert tables so I did that for this party
by using the dog bone tag svg and flipping and welding to make it into a tent shape. You're gonna get a little peak at some of the cute and creative treats I made too!

For party favors I just gave everyone a decorated sugar cookie shaped like a bone and wrote "Thanks" on it. Then tied them up with ribbon and a bone tag.

Lastly for today, is the dog house I made from a refrigerator box.

The bone dog tag just worked perfectly for so many aspects of this party!

So I stuck it on where you would put a name on the dog house, 

but I ended up leaving it blank so that all the kids could get their pictures taken in the dog house without it saying "Ethan" above them lol!

Thanks for stopping by! Go check out SVG Attic for some awesome files you can buy, and they are VERY reasonably priced!! They are so versatile, and you'll be amazed at how easy they are to work with!

Also, I am having a giveaway right now.... and so far only 5 people have commented to win. It's not that hard people, just say "hi"! :-) Go here: 100 followers GIVEAWAY

Now for my project....... I made a step card! My first one ever!
 From the Step Card SVG Collection.

I'm not sure why, but I find myself creating
scenes out of paper quite often. So I thought it might be fun
to make a corn field/pumpkin patch Autumn scene to decorate my table!!

 

I used the Pumpkin Patch collection from SVG Attic 

for all the little pumpkins and paired them with 

super cute face stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps!!

 

 I wanted to make the hay-bale boxes and wagon from the 

Fall Harvest Favor Boxes Collection, but couldn't figure out how to add 

a 3-D wagon to a step card, so I just glued the bales of hay in a little stack in the back.

This is the view from the back of the card.... just so you can see that 

I tied up the bales with twine from Trendy Twine!

The cute ScareCrow is from the new set being released today:
Thankful Friends
I wanted to give him more of a "straw" look so I used the
haystack placecard holder from the Fall Celebration Kit
and reduced it to make tiny little ones! Then I cut them in half
and stuck 'em behind my scarecrow for his hands and feet!!
Cute right! Here's a closer view:

Sorry the pictures aren't better... I no longer own a camera.
It finally quit on me, so all my photos were taken with my phone... :-(
Lame I know.

Don'tcha just love his little face? I can't believe how fun it is to use
Peachy Keen Stamps! You can mix and match facial features and the possibilities are endless!!
I wanted him to look a little scary, since he IS a scarecrow...
and there happens to be a CROW sitting on his shoulder!!!!Lol!

Oh yeah! I almost forgot!!! See that rolled bale of hay on the left side??

I made that with svg files from SVG Attic too! I altered the
Spooky Treat Baskets
in my Jack-O-Lantern project last weekend
and I used that to make the end pieces for the round bale of hay.
The spiral added to the end is the lollipop from Suri's Sweet Treats
collection and I just used a rectangle to form the tube.

Thanks for hopping by!!!
I hope you liked my very first step card!!

Cuttin' Up With Class - Challenge 2

It's Time For Another Challenge

over at

Cuttin' Up With Class

Thank you to all who joined in last week when we got to play with 

an adorable set of pumpkin files!!

This week we are playing with MASKS!!

How perfect for right before Halloween!!!

I made these cute Pirate Masks!!

 Complete with Eye Patches and a Hook!

The Mask is courtesy of Jani from Paper Compulsions.
Jani is the host of the Cuttin' Up With Class Blog
AND the designer of these fun svg files and templates.

The Pirate Accessories are SVG files from Lettering Delights.

Except for the Bandana, I made that myself in Make The Cut! :-)

I added Charcoal twine from The Twinery to my project 

and I LOVE the way it looks!!

Pirates are supposed to be scruffy right?!! 

So I gave mine some beard stubble!! Lol!

I hope you will join us for the challenge this week!!
The mask files are FREE and you can download them over at
Cuttin' Up With Class.
Just be sure to leave Jani a "thank you" comment if you do! :-)

For my first project I made coffins with candy skeletons inside. Which would be perfect as party favors for your Halloween Shin-dig, or super cute as invitations if you included a little card with the details inside! 

 

For my second Spook-Tacular project I made a graveyard scene. 

I used the chocolate skeletons and "buried" them in brownies for a Spooky Halloween Dessert!

Okay, on to today's project..... no skeletons or chocolate this time lol!

How about some cute, yet kinda spooky hanging lanterns!

Jack-O-Lanterns that is!!

I used the Spooky Treat Basket files for the lanterns.

 The Jack-O-Lantern faces came from a couple sets:

Boo-Tiful Borders

Pumpkin Patch SVG Collection

The leaves and stems I used are from the Fall Celebration Kit.

I used the Spooky Treat Basket set to make the lantern part, 

but instead of cutting the sides with lots of strips, like the file comes:

I altered it to make the long rectangle at the bottom taller, 

and the strips shorter to become top and bottom pieces.

But then I decided that I needed to leave the top open a little

so I could get the LED tealights in and out. I made one of

the pieces hinged and took the strips off half of it to make a lid.

They fold up to be able to reach inside!

But if you want a good seal so the lights show up brighter you can

just tuck it down a little into the lantern like this.

I hope you've enjoyed yourself along the hop so far! Thanks for joining us this weekend!!

You're next stop is Jessica L.

Now on to my second SPOOKY project.....

How about a creepy dessert to serve at your party.....

I made brownies and used my candy skeletons to stick in them like
they are coming out of the ground!! Spooky right?

Love this green guy! He looks all rotten and stuff! Lol!

I used 2 sets for this little graveyard scene. Boo-tiful Borders,
and Happy Haunt Halloween Party Kit.

Here's all the little pieces of the graveyard together. I made the place setting cards from the Happy Haunt Halloween Party Kit and just you could stamp or hand write silly tombstone names on them, but since I was running short on time, I added mine on digitally.
