Alma's Name Sign

My step-sister gave birth to a little girl 6 weeks after I had my son.  She and her husband did her nursery in a woodland theme.  I made this name sign for her to go with that theme.

The background of this scene was made with five different colors of Distress Ink.

The deer and trees are images that I converted to cut files using the Design Space software.  The buck and doe are both covered with some Wink of Stella for a subtle shimmer.  The fawn is covered in glitter and glossy accents.  It is also adhered with foam tape.

Her name is cut with the "Animal Antics" Cricut cartridge.  I covered the pink layer with glitter and glossy accents to match the fawn.

To the Moon

Since I didn't work today I decided to do some crafting.  I made some wall art for my soon-to-be son's nursery.

Both the picture frame and little guy in the rocket were made using svgs from SVG Cutting Files.

I used a Peachy Keen face for the little guy.  I also added Stickles to the yellow flame and glossy accents to the orange flame of the rocket.  I hung the rocket from the bottom of the frame using some thread, so it looks like he is flying below the frame.

Star Wars Day

It is May 4th, which means it is Star Wars Day!  So, to celebrate, I made a couple of Star Wars themed crafts.

The first is a birthday card featuring Chewbacca.

The card base was made with the "Cricut Classic Font" cartridge.  Chewbacca is an SVG from Krafy Nook.  I inked up the edges of all his fur with a variety of brown Distress Inks.

The sentiment and the banner are both from Jaded Blossom.  I finished off the card with some sequins.

The second craft I made was a piece of wall art.  I made it for my soon-to-be son's nursery.  I am due in August and have decided to decorate the nursery in a space theme.  Well, more like using geeky space-themed movie/TV shows as decor.  We are talking Star Wars, Star Trek, Firefly, Doctor Who, that sort of thing.

I found an SVG on Etsy that features a boy walking an AT-AT.  I painted a canvas with black paint.  I then cut the SVG out of vinyl and adhered it to the canvas.  I will be adding his name later, above the boy.  We have already decided on a name, but we are not telling anyone until he is born, so it will have to wait.
