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~

Hello Gazelle Peeps!

Kenya here to share a cute little card using the BossKut Gazelle! Did you know you can use pens and markers in your Gazelle without an additional holder? If you have not tried it, you are in for a treat! For today’s project, I decided to use the Gazelle to draw the snowman image (which came from the shapes library that ships with your Gazelle) and colored it in with Distress Markers.

Ok, it is no secret that I really love the O’Hannah collection! Aside from it being a beautiful cut file, it cuts so smoothly on the Gazelle. This file had become one of my go to files for sure!

The O’Hannah Frame Mat reminds me of a snowflake. I use the O’Hannah to mat the colored image.  I added Stickles to the mat and to the images (nice and sparkly). It turned out great right?

I hope you all enjoyed today’s project! Check out BossKut.com for files and inspiration! Thanks for stopping by, Kenya~

Shadow Box Card

Happy May Krafters!

Shadow box cards are one of my favorite projects to do! When I discovered these two years ago, I was hooked! Yes they are cards, but they can double as a beautiful home décor piece. I HAD to use the newly released RufflesPKButterfly and ParkerPKflower! Both files are so cute and adds dimension without the bulk!

For this card, I cut an 8.5”x11” sheet of card stock in half. I scored both pieces at 1”, 1.5” 7” and 7.5” you will fold the papers using the mountain valley fold. These two pieces forms the box. Then you can use your BossKut Gazelle, BossKut die or punch to cut a shape in the middle of one of your panels. This will become the front of your card.

I typically decorate the inside before the outside of this type of card. Since the RufflesPKButterfly file and the papers are so pretty, I did not want to do too much. Usually, I add a nice sentiment in the inside, but it will go on the back so the focus will be on the butterfly. I added a rhinestone flourish. Once the inside is decorated, adhere the back panel to the front by meeting up the outer folds.

On my sample, I dry embossed the side panels for a decoration (do this before adhering to the back panel). I also added pattern paper to the front to coordinate with the pattern paper inside of the box. To decorate the outside, I used the ParkerPKflower file. I also used cherry blossoms (you can make these with the Forget Me Nots file J if you’d like) as fillers. That beautiful lace came from Ms. BossKut…ah, it is gorgeous (thank you)! This was also sprayed to match the pattern papers. I added flourishes and the sentiment to complete the outside.

The sky is the limit to what you do with these! I have made them to be interactive or stand alone as I did for this one! Please remember to pop on over to BossKut.com for files, die and supplies…you like how that rhymed LOL! Have a wonderful day, Kenya~

Hello Krafters~

 Today I would likt to share a really quick and simple Easter card! My favorite flowers are Lilies and when I saw this Lilly file (BKD013), I KNEW I had to make a project with it!

This is a standard A2 sized card (4.25x5.5”). I used two cuts of the Lilly vines and mirrored one of them. Please note how well that stamen cut in the BossKut Gazelle! It is approximately .25” and look how thin they are!! Cut like butter at a speed of 1 and a force of 3.

For the sentiment, I used a green glitter pen and used a font that comes with the Fun Time software.

To finish off the card, I placed a piece of pattern paper to layer under the sentiment. I also ran the mat through an embossing folder for a little texture. To add some shimmer to the card, I used a clear glitter pen on the stem of the Lilies.

There you have it! I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Do not forget to stop by BossKut for more files, projects and inspiration! Kenya~

*This card would also make a nice sympathy card or Mother’s Day card ;)

Hello Gazelle Lovers,

Today I am sharing a card I made for my DH. This was actually the last project I made as a member of Scrappin’ with Sharon and Smokey’s Creative Team. Due to some personal issues, she is no longer designing cut files nor is she selling them at this time.

Anywho, I used Sharon’s cut file, Make the Cut and my trusty Boss Kut Gazelle to put this quick and simple card together. One thing I love about the Boss Kut Gazelle is the different tools that can be purchased with it or some of your existing product can be used in it as well. I used the embossing tip (you can also use any existing embossing tools that are shaped like an ink pen due to how the blade holder is designed) to emboss this cool scenic image. You will need the embossing mat which can be purchased from Bosskut.

While it was a simple design, I do hope you are inspired J Don't forget to check out Boss Kut for files and inspiration! Thanks for stopping by, Kenya~

*TIP*  The cool thing about the embossing mat is once the embossing part is worn, you can use the mat itself as a new cutting mat! How cool is that?
