Happy Independence Day! Sale and Freebie!

Happy 4th of July!  I am soo happy to live in a world that allows me to craft!  I hope you are too!  To celebrate this wonderful holiday I am having a 40% sale on all Shelly's Art designs now through July 7, 2013.  Click Here to go shopping!  Don't go just yet.  I have a project and a freebie to share with you.

Even though I enjoy scrapbooking immensely I don't always find time to enjoy this hobby!  So I loved sitting down and creating this layout and sharing it with you before the 4th actually gets here!  Now granted my daughter was only a few months old in this layout and she is now 6...better late than never right?!

I used several of the latest files I added to my store including:  Pleated Rosette 1and Pennant Border Set.  These files may look complicated but the cutter makes them a lot simpler than they look!  I love using my cutter to enhance layouts..so frugal..yet great looking!  Papertrey Ink's circle stars (part of the Let Freedom Ring stamp set) were the perfect addition to the center of the rosettes.  I love combining stamping with my cutter files..the best of both worlds!  Did you see the title?  This is the freebie I have for you!  I was soo tempted to add some glitter to the fireworks but the distress look of these papers just didn't lend itself to bling!  I have several years of firework photos to scrap so maybe next time!

Okay now onto that freebie I promised you!  Hurry and grab it as it won't be free forever!

  
Sorry freebie no longer available!  It contains 7 formats including AI, KNK, WPC, SVG, MTC, Studio, and GSD . Please do not share this freebie.  I ask that you please send them to this blog to download on their own.
Have a wonderful holiday!  Please come back again!

Elizabeth also played with my 3-D butterflies file.  I love the way she added stitching lines around the edge of the butterfly.  She also embossed patterned paper.  I have never tried this but I love the look!

50% off ends soon and new files

My sale continues.   I am giving you 50% off all my designs.  No coupon code needed.  Simply click here and start filling your cart!  I have a wide variety of items including digital cutter files, digital stamps and digital scrapbooking goodies.  I currently have 250 files.  I am in the process of converting all my files to MTC and Studio format but haven't gotten them all done.  However, if you purchase any of my files and share with me the receipt I will be happy to convert the files for you and send them to your e-mail box ASAP.   I have been busy converting many files this week and  as I convert them I put them immediately in the store.

Wow!  I can't believe how many of you have downloaded my freebie!  I am thrilled you are liking my little gift!  It is still available for a few more days so check it out  if you missed it.  You can find it in my store here.  I'm not telling you what it is because if I do then it wouldn't be a surprise!  I don't want to spoil your fun!  I will tell you it's part of my build a...series!  I just love files that give you versatility and let's you customize the files to suit your needs.  If you have any ideas for more build a files I'm all ears!

I have put a few new files in my store also.  Kelly my talented design team member played around with one of them. Card Base 14.

Kelly played around with my stacked circle flowers technique.  I have it posted here on my blog but I'm not sure when I posted it.  Basically you cut various circles decreasing in size...crinkle them up a bit, stack largest to smallest then secure in the middle with brad to create a flower.  I need to go paint my porch but if I get some time I'll edit this post to include the link to the tut.  The Love word is a freebie I have featured in the past.  Kelly used papers from the DCWV Old World Stack for the "frame" and K and Company papers were used to make the flower.   I just love Kelly's shabby chic card!  I also love how she turned the card horizontally.  I often forget my card bases are versatile that way!  If you would like to purchase this file click on the preview below.

It is also available in digital template form.  Click on the preview below to purchase.

Did you know I have digital paper packs for sale that can be printed on your printer and used in your cutting machine?  Yep..I do.  Featured above are my Strawberry Delight and Zigity Zag digi papers. Click on the previews below if you wish to buy these.

If you are a frequent blog visitor you may remember this card...

I finally got the file I used to make it into the store.  One nice thing...the frame in this Card Base 15 matches the borders in my Card Base 14. I could definitely see using the border and frame on a scrapbook page together. I especially like the banner in this one. Banners seem soo popular right now. Click on the preview below if you'd like to purchase the file.

It is also available in a digital template version.  Click the preview below to purchase it.

 Okay I've got to get to painting that porch!  I am dreading it because it seems soo cold to me!  The paint can says it has to be above 50 degrees to apply the paint..which is just barely is so I guess I don't have any excuse not to go do it!  Thanks for stopping by and please come back again!

Have  a fabulous weekend!

Oh and sorry for all the photos..I got a little carried away!  Hope it didn't take too long for you to load but if it does please tell me so I know to limit my photos in the future!

Paperthreads 6 year celebration sale, freebie and Witchy Poo!

Paperthreads has been open for 6 years now!  My how time has flown by!  It's hard to believe the store has been around longer than my daughter!  LOL!  In celebration I am giving you 50% off all my designs.  No coupon code needed.  Simply click here and start filling your cart!  I have a wide variety of items including digital cutter files, digital stamps and digital scrapbooking goodies.  I currently have over 240 files.  I am in the process of converting all my files to MTC and Studio format but haven't gotten them all done.  However, if you purchase any of my files and share with me the receipt I will be happy to convert the files for you and send them to your e-mail box ASAP.

I also have a surprise FREEBIE for you.  You can find it in my store here.  I'm not telling you what it is because if I do then it wouldn't be a surprise!  I don't want to spoil your fun!  I will tell you it's part of my build a...series!  I just love files that give you versatility and let's you customize the files to suit your needs.  If you have any ideas for more build a files I'm all ears!

Paperthreads is being featured on the MTC forum for a week.  They will be hosting a fun challenge and many other designer's will be giving freebies for this challenge too.  So please head on over to http://forum.make-the-cut.com to check out the fun.  I don't know if the challenge is posted yet but keep checking as you don't want to miss out on the fun!

I have a few new files in the store too.

First up is my Witchy Poo digital stamp.  This is the one I had given you a sneak peek of earlier.

This cute little witch made up of pumpkins is a great alternative to the scary images of Halloween.  Click on the preview above or here to purchase.

So you don't like to color...well no problem I also have this available in digital cutter file format.  Click on the preview below or here to purchase.

Kelly couldn't resist playing with the digi image of Witchy Poo.  I just love how she accented the stars with glitter!  That bow is just spectacular and adds the perfect finishing touch!

Here is what Kelly had to say about her fab card.  "Patterned papers are from K & Company and the ribbon is from Michael's. I just used my Marvy markers and added some yellow glitter."

Okay once again it is lunch time!  You know what amazes me is how much time we spend not only eating but prepping food.  I know it often takes me an hour to make supper!  It takes me probably 3 hours to make a grocery list.  Insane!  I like to look at the Ads for the week and compare that to what recipes I want to make.  I also try to make sure nothing gets thrown away.  For instance this week I had a recipe that used 1 cup of spinach and I know it's only available in a big bag so I found another recipe the rest of the spinach can go in.  I also like to clip coupons both from the newspapers and online printable ones.   So doing all this saves us money but at times I feel like I'm wasting half my life away worrying about food!  Does anyone else feel this way!

Ooops sorry I'm rambling...I'd better run as the cats are begging to be fed!  Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to have some more projects for you soon so please stop back!  Have a wonderful weekend!

We love you Dad and sale continues!

Dads deserve soo much thanks today. I can't image what I would do without the men in my life. I admire those of you who are single Moms! I know there are times we take things for granted but it's nice to have one day set aside to really tell our men how special they are! Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful Dad's out in the world!

My sale continues so if you need a little something to complete your Dad projects simply hop on over to my store here and save some money. 

I had 3 cards to make for Dad's day this year so I decide to create a few files to help me with this task. I always start out making things early but days don't go as planned and I fall behind.  You saw one of the cards in yesterday's post.  I ended up just simply making two of these to save time.

Well you see I sat down and managed to get the truck from Stampin' Up's Loads of Love stamp set colored with Copics.  I also heat embossed the silver accents and added a little Spica glitter markers to the hearts.  I thought I had paper to go with this image but as it turned out nothing I had worked out right...so...I decided to make some papers.  I wanted something masculine but not dark and dreary..something that would work for Dad but also for children and feminine projects too so that is why I decided to add the pop of yellow.  So I finished designing the papers and had intended to use my Card Base 9 cutter file to complete the card.  However I was running short on time.  So I decided to use the digital version Digi Card Template 5.  to speed things up a bit.  The base is one layer with the diamond border from the cutter file and other accents added over top.  This saved lots of time since all I had to do was clip the papers to the template and print.  I even printed another one at the same time..this way I would have one to use later.  Oh and I just printed this on plain white cardstock.  But if you click on the photo you will see the card has some texture to it.  (Sorry for the dark photo..one of these days I will invest in a light box)  I used a Stampin' Up texture plate to achieve this.  I really like how it give a little depth to the one layer printout.

The above card is completely digital.  I can print several of these and have them ready at a moments notice for when..gasp..I forget a birthday or something!  I used Digi Card Template 5, Ziggity Zag digital papers, and Ice Cream with Bowl digi template. These type of cards are also great for Operation Write Home (OWH) since they are completely flat and you can print many at once to send.

If you would like to purchase any of the files used in my above cards please click on the previews below.

My talented creative design team member Kelly Stone also has been busy with one of my newer files.  She used my Father's Day Shirt file to make cards for the special men in her life.

Aren't they great looking shirts and cards!  I love how Kelly inked the blue gingham pieces to give the shirt lots of depth.  I also love how Kelly tilted the orange striped shirt slightly..makes it more fun!  Please click the preview below if you'd like to purchase this shirt file. 

Have an absolutely wonderful Father's Day weekend!  Thanks for stopping by and please come back again!  I soo enjoy your company and comments!

Happy Father's Day Sale!

Happy Father's Day!  I like to think I am an independent woman but I truly can say I'd be lost without the men in my life!  I am truly blessed with a wonderful husband, father and father in law.  Thanks Dad!  Do you have your Father's day cards done?  If not I may be able to help you out.  I have several files that will help you make a wonderful card for the special men in your life! Click the Ad above to go shopping. Oh and my whole store is on sale including digital cutter files, digital stamps and digital scrapbooking supplies.

Above is the card I made.  I used two new files available for instant download in my store now.  Father's Day Shirt, and Card Base 12.    It was soo much fun making this shirt.  I loved finding the perfect "tie" paper!  I am not a seamstress in any sense of the word but paper piecing with my file I can do!  I added little metal studs to the shirt and tie acting as "man" jewelry.  The buttons actually are similar to what might be used on a man's dress shirt.  Can you tell I had a blast putting this card together!  If you would like to purchase the files to have your own fun please click on the links below.

I have several other card bases available.  You can see them here.  One thing nice about these is the versatility of them.  You can choose papers to match your theme so these work for masculine, feminine and children cards.  These are great to showcase die cuts but also they are wonderful for stamps.  Sometimes, I spend soo much time using cutter files I forget how great it is to work with stamps.  I like having these card bases to take the guess work out of where to put papers and elements so I can focus on the fun creative part!

We have many different names for the father's and grandfather's in our lives.  So in my file I tried to cover the most common.  I do hope there is one that works for you. 

Oh and please check out my store throughout my sale.  I have a few new files coming tonight or tomorrow.

Happy Father's Day!  Thanks for stopping by!
