Cute Critters Stamp Set by My Craft Spot

For my box, I decided to make a cute box that would hold something delicious!  This oven shaped box is from a file by Designs by Cloud 9.  It was the first SVG file I ever got!  I decided to cut it using some really cute polka dot Dear Lizzy paper that I got a few months ago.  The rest of the papers were scraps that I had.  

I love that I didn't have to resize the file at all to make the muffin fit!  I used an apple-cinnamon muffin instead of a cupcake because I was afraid that if it had frosting my clumsy self would end up getting the frosting on the box and ruin my pictures.  But it actually was really easy to put the muffin in the box and I never had any problems with it touching the sides at all!

I hope you'll all play along with us at this month's challenge at Silhouette Challenges and make a box of any kind!

Hop on over and link up your project today.

You're cool!

Happy Friday!  Do you ever look back and your week and you know that it felt really busy while you were in the middle of it, but you're not sure what all you did?  That's how I'm feeling today.

Anyway, I've got a super cute shaped card to share today.  I made the card using the "Cute and Cool" file from Designs on Cloud 9.  I added the simple sign shape by just drawing to rectangles in my Silhouette Studio and welding them together.  Then I made the shadow and the shaped card using the offset feature.  I stamped the sentiment using Build a Valentine by My Craft Spot.

Penguins have a special place in my heart, because I collected them when I was little.  I still have 6 (yes 6!) bins of penguins in my basement...and I've gotten rid of many over the years that cracked or broke or just didn't have any meaning to me anymore.  So this was a very fun card for me to make!

This card is being entered into the following challenges:
