Framed

Hello Gazelle lovers,

I was inspired to do something simple and out of the ordinary. I made a picture frame. Since you all know how I feel about Presley's Curls, I wanted to use that file for this!

The base of the frame is made of chipboard. In the software, I added a score line and two cut lines for the easel (so the frame can stand). I used a deep cut blade with a speed of 2, blade depth of 5 multi-cut of 2. These settings cut the chipboard perfectly without the drag marks. On top of the chipboard base, I used black Bazzill cardstock. I wanted something sturdy. I also used Bazzill for the more detailed layer. I also welded the circle that come with the file to the detailed files.

I left a slot open to keep the photo in place. I then added the title to the base. Finally I used tulle, flowers and the key (thank you Mrs. BossKut) that were in my stash to embellish the front of the frame.

That is it! This will make a lovely anniversary or wedding gift! I hope you all enjoyed it! Remember to stop by Bosskut.com for more files, supplies and inspiration. Kenya~

Presley's Curls

Cherish

Hello Gazelle lovers,

Here is a simple card that can be used for a Mother's Day, wedding or an anniversary. For this card, I used the Lace Border and the Floral Doily. Both files can add a delicate touch to your project.

This is a standard A2 sized card. I welded the Lace Border to the bottom of the card base which was designed in the software. I backed the border with the same pattern paper as the matting. I also used gross grain ribbon the card.

I used the shadow of the Floral Doily for the focal point. I fussy cut the dress from a designer paper by Webster's Pages. I used faux pearls to lightly embellish. I also used a cutout from the designer paper for the sentiment.

On the inside of the card, I used the negative of the doily cut and used distress ink to add a design element to the card. I also used a scrap piece of the pattern paper to bring the decretive element to the inside as well.

I hope you enjoyed today's project. Remember to stop by bosskut.com for files, supplies and inspiration. Kenya~

Cute Darling Baby

Hello Gazelle Lovers,

Kenya here to share an adorable baby card with you. I don't know about you, but spring equates to baby announcements like no other time of year for me! I know at least four people who are due this summer! I guess I know what I will be doing! This is a 6x6" card which is not a typical size for me. However, babies are special so I had to do something differently.

 For this card, I used the banner, bottle and rattle. I am pleased with how well the detail cut on the Gazelle despite the size. I mean the cuts are approximately 1" so that makes the detailed cuts less than an eighth of an inch! Take it slow and easy. I did a speed of 2 since it was more detailed. Although the speed is slower, I am always amazed at how fast slow is! If you are new to the Gazelle but not electronic cutters, you will know what I mean ;) and you too will not believe your project cut so quickly; even on low!

I do have a small vent and warning. Look twice and stamp once! Ok, I used a set of stamps that I have not used in over a year. I couldn't remember why it has been so long since I used the set until I was in too deep. I had already stamped the C, U and T so when it was time to stamp the E, I realized the rubber had fell off the wood mount. I searched frantically to no avail. I had to make a decision. Either I scrapped the banner idea or I had to get creative. I went with the latter. I searched all of my stamps to find a similar style font. It is not a perfect match. However, I had to do what I had to do! Hey, what can I say? Crafters are just that; CRAFTY!! Remember to check your stamps BEFORE you begin stamping!

To finish embellishing the card, I cut the image from the paper collection. I also added a doily to fill in the card. I also stamped the little foot print and added Glass Effects to give it a button effect without the added bulk.

I hope you enjoyed today's project. Don't forget to stop by bosskut.com for more files, supplies and inspiration. Kenya

Butterfly Invitation

Hello Gazelle Lovers!

Spring is finally in the air...well somewhat! Although the weather is not fully cooperating, it is not stopping spring party plans and engagements!

Today I am sharing one of the simplest invitations ever! These can be massed produced in no time! If you have been a follower of mine, you know I like to use the library and simple shapes that come FREE with your Gazelle.  

 

For the card, I welded simple shapes together. I also love butterflies! What a perfect marriage! I used the PopKut Butterfly as the focal point on this card. What I really like is I get a lot of dimension without all of the extra bulk. Not to mention  how well they cut on the Gazelle. The butterfly on the card is less than an inch!

On the inside, I used the second butterfly that comes in the PopKut Butterfly with this design. It is a great way to tie the front of the card with the inside. To finish off the card, I added a few faux pearls.

That is it! I know this was very simple, but I hope you enjoyed today's project! Don't forget to visit BossKut for files, supplies and inspiration! Kenya~

Easter Bag

Hello Gazelle Lovers,

Easter is at the end of the month. Can you believe it? For me Easter truly marks spring. In light of the holiday and to make it kid friendly, I decided to make a little treat bag.

On this project, I used the Scalloped PK Bag. It comes with a Pop Kut attached to the bag. However, I used a PopKut Flower in a different pattern to place on top.

To embellish the bag, I used the PopKut Grass Border on the bottom. I fussy cut the bunny, flowers and chevron border from a paper collection.  I added a sentiment with a stamp in my stash.

For the inside, I cut some thin strips of scrap paper. I ran them through the corrugator and placed them inside. I cut some of the ends in a diagonal to make them look more like grass.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Remember to stop by Bosskut.com for more files, supplies and inspiration! Thanks for stopping by, Kenya~

Valentine's Day Cracker Box

Hello Gazelle Peeps!

I love making projects with my girls. I also like being the “cool” mom at their school. I got this “title” because for the holidays or class parties, I do some type treat goodie and the kids LOVE them. I found this out because one time, I made the mistake and just sent candy. They were disappointed. I learned the kids really enjoyed receiving them. It has been my pleasure to make them happy ever since! Although this is a prototype, I do not think they will be disappointed with this one!

The cracker box was constructed by intersecting/joining shapes. In FunTime, you can add score lines or you may do that manually as I did. After the box is folded, glue the center where the treat is stored. The ribbon will hold the ends together. The children can loosen the ribbon to access the candy. Decorate as you wish! I chose to use bling, flowers, and the Vintage Hearts 0966 (inside was filled) to embellish mine.  Can you see how small they are and how well they cut on the Gazelle? Very simple project and cute to boot! This is a good project to get the little ones involved too! They can decorate and write personalized messages to their classmates while spending time with mom. It is a win win for everyone!

Thanks for stopping by. Remember to stop by BossKut to purchase files, supplies and tools for your Gazelle. Kenya~

Love You

Hello Gazelle Lovers,

I am excited to share today’s project. I will be very honest; I do not do many Valentine’s Day projects. I may do one or two cards, but this year, I was bitten by the love bug I suppose! Today I am sharing a simple card that can be used for not only Valentine’s Day but for several occasions to include weddings and anniversaries.

For this card, I made a generic Eiffel Tower using some basic shapes. I added some bling to it and popped it up on foam dots. The stamp shape was also used basic shapes. I really like how they turned out! I also used the Double Scalloped Heart 0967 with three squiggles to mock a postage stamp. Isn’t it cute? This was layers on an embossed mat.

For the sentiment, I used the O’Hannah Oval BKD129 Set. I love using this set for sentiments because it cuts so beautifully on the Gazelle! I threaded some ribbon through and added a charm. Finally, I added some Stickles.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Stop by Bosskut for supplies, files and inspiration! Kenya~
