The card pictured below is created using Sam and Hailey Designs (SHD) "Roundie Gear" file. I loved this file because I needed a graduation card for our nephew who was headed to college. I really have a hard time creating "masculine" cards, but this solved my problem and he loved it. This first picture is the outside of the card while the next picture shows the sentiment inside... "We hope this helps you GEAR up for college". Corny? Yes, but he still liked it.
This next project was created using SHD "Step Ladder Card Base" file. I made it to use as a centerpiece for our special graduation dinner we held in honor of my son "graduating" from preschool. He thought it was fun and I loved making it. The file does all the thinking for you...cutting the card, the mats and the pattern paper is a breeze. It took me 10 minutes to throw it together. The graduation hat and title are from SHD "Itty Bitty Graduate" file that can be found here. http://www.paperthreads.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5390
This darling bag is one of my all time favorite files from SHD. It is created using the "Large Box Bottom Bag" found herehttp://www.paperthreads.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=4079 I apologize for the horrible picture and I'm embarassed by the bow. I actually replaced the bow with better ribbon before I sent the present to my son's teacher, but I forgot to take a picture of the "improved" version. I use this file often and always get wonderful comments about the "custom" bag. The bottom of the bag is cut from cardstock and is rectangular to give the box depth and allow it to stand alone.
This last project is a card created using the "Tall Tri-Shutter Card" file, again available in the membership club. As mentioned before, this digital cutter file takes all the "thinking" out of making this card. The file includes cutting patterns for the cardbase, the mats and the rectangles cut from pattern paper. It looks impressive and difficult, but it easy as cake! I love how I can make multiple cards using the same file, but have each look unique!
Thanks for looking!
