My Love Bandit- Paper Crafting World

Pin It

Hello my Crafty Friends!!

 I am super excited to be posting as a designer for Paper Crafting World today. I am so delighted to be able to share these adorable cut and digital files with you.

I'm in the mood for love! And this file, My Lil' Love Bandit, just stole my heart from Paper Crafting World.

These two bandits are the cutest critters ever! And I just love that they hold the key to someone's heart!

 I always add pop dots for some dimension and ink most of my pieces.

Other items used to create this adorable layout include:

Authentique Paper

cardstock

Gold Foil paper

Kiwi Lane Templates

Silk Flowers

Brads and sequins

Check out the store, there's so many amazing files. You can find a file for every need: digital, printable or even cuttable.

 Be sure to stop by Paper Crafting World and see all the great files waiting for you! 

Don't forget about Paper Crafting World's month long challenge. Grab the latest freebies and play along!

She has created a wonderful project for us today featuring bling to go along with the "I Do!" monthly Challenge.

Here's a little about what Lisa used..
All of the papers were from my stash. Individual pieces from makers unknown. The skate was made with the Cricut Explore Air from the subscription (Nifty Fifties). The "Let's Skate & Celebrate" is made with the Brother Scan N Cut 2... Glitter, glue, Gelatos and Wink of Stella. Ink from Ranger Distress Inks.

BE sure to stop by Lisa's Blog and leave her some love for this adorable card! Reminds me of my younger years. I loved my skates!

Question of the Week

Pin It

Remember.. I want you to answer the question in the comment section too!

AND

if  you have a question to ask for an upcoming week add that in the comments too, if you ask a question and I use it you will win a prize!!

This week's I asked the question... I have travel fever! LOL! So I want to know...

If you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would you go?

Connie- In a few weeks I am headed to Florida so I guess that is why I have travel fever! LOL! But it's been almost a year since I went to Greece and I really want to go back! Other than that I would like to go to Hawaii, Australia, Alaska, and Africa! Hey I'm not asking for much! LOL!

Daphne- I have a list of a few places I want to go before I die. But if I could only choose 1 it would be an African Safari. But a close second would have to be the Galápagos Islands.

Angela- Australia or Italy. I won't be picky 

 smile emoticon

Veronica- Most definitively Europe. I would love to go back again.

Kim-  I truly have no desire to travel abroad these days, but if I did I think I would want to go to Ireland and stay in a thatched roof cottage and drink tea. Can you tell I'm no longer adventurous?

ok, It's your turn to answer!!

don't forget this month's fun challenge!!

Cupid, Draw Back Your Bow

Pin It             Hi there.  It's Kim from Katydid Cards!  I'm so happy to be here with you again this month...the month of LOVE and I sure do love sharing what I love with you!

Today I want to show you a Valentine's Day card created with the Cupid Pop-Up Card by Dreaming Tree, who happens to be our sponsor this month for both the challenge and the blog hop coming up later this month.

The front of the card is certainly beautiful with its delicate pattern and intricate cut-out allowing the Ruby Red card stock to show through, but wait until you see...

...the inside!!

Isn't this Pop-Up heart gorgeous?  Talk about a WOW factor!  And the colors on the heart alternate from gold to pink because of the way they created the file.

You can purchase this cut file individually at the link above, but you can purchase the I Love You Bundle at a discounted price; and wait until you see the rest of the files.  In fact, you will see more this month right here on Connie Can Crop!

I know this looks complicated to make, but it really wasn't difficult; especially because Dreaming Tree has assembly videos for their files so they take you by the hand and walk you through the assembly, step by step.

You can also try one of Dreaming Tree's cut files free.  That's right, I said FREE!  And just in time for Valentine's Day, too.  Here's a link to that file (but they have other free files as well).  This way you'll be able to see, first hand, the quality of their files and the ease in which they go together.  While you're there, you can sign up for their newsletter and keep up with all the latest!

I wanted to mention the tag with the greeting on the front and the two hearts inside did not come with the cut file, but I created them using the components from the file.  I'm more than happy to share them with you if you want them to accompany your cut file when you rush over to get it for yourself. I can only provide it in .studio or .pdf format.  If you'd like it, please leave me a comment here or on my blog.

Don't forget to join our Challenge for a chance to win a fantastic $50 gift certificate to Dreaming Tree.  And don't forget to hop with us on the 20th of the month, starting right here!
