DtsArt Desgin team. K Cup Pilgrim Hat

How cute are these? I've looked at the used K cups a hundred times and wished I had  a way to recycle them and now I do! Dardi made this great Pilgrim hat files to recycle the K cups. I can't wait to use these on Thanksgiving, I think I will fill them with after dinner mints and use them to decorate every one's plates!

For this week Dardi sent us these great candy boxes to play with. I got excited when I saw the file because I have these 2 great Stampin Up Stamp sets that I've been dying to use and haven't really been able to and when I saw these boxes I knew I would be breaking out those stamps!

DtsArt Desgin team. Post it note holder

This week Dardi gave us these really fun little post it note holder. Its a very simple and quick file to cut, and it makes a great gift. I found these great fall post it notes at Target and I'm going to make one of these for each of my employees as a little thank you gift around thanksgiving. Please check out the DtsArt blog to check out all the wonderful post it note holders. If you would like to get this file you can find it here.

DtsArt Desgin team. Candy Corn Peeps

This week I'm guest designing on the other design team at DtsArt. I had to guest design when I saw these cute little Candy Corn Peeps. I already had plans to make these little pal center peaces and I thought these little Candy Corn Peeps would just look perfect in the Candy Corn pal that I had. I will be posting the other pals I made below.

Now I know I'm always bragging about how easy and great the cut falls are from DtsArt, but after doing these pals and using cut files from another site I truly can say that Dardi does an amazing job of making her cut files perfect. Everything is split by color, you don't have to go into ink scape and try to split files further or cut things in multiple colors to get all your pieces. Also you can put all the pieces on the mat and make them the size you want and they all fit correctly. I've had files where this is not the case and resizing is a nightmare! I know it takes Dardi a long time to put these files together and its clear why they are clean and easy to use!!!

Please make sure you check out every one's projects at DtsArt Blog and here to purchase.

Here are some close ups of my little Candy Corn peeps.

Halloween Centerpieces

Halloween Centerpieces. I made these cute little centerpieces to spice up our waiting room and group room at work. I found the buckets at target and the cut files are from myscrapchick.com. I found the cut files are really cute but they were not as easy to use as I wish they were...

Back to school

I like to decorate the office I work in to give it a welcoming and homey feel so for the back to school season I made 2 of these little center pieces and a crayon wreath. They have been a huge hit.

DtsArt Desgin team. Milk Carton!

This week we got a wonderful Milk carton cut file with holder.  It came with a few options so please make sure to check out the other designers to see all the options! Files like these usually scare me but I have to say this was the easiest file I have ever worked with. You just import it into SCAL and cut, no need to play with size, everything is scored with were to fold and its just plan simple.

To spice it up I cut it out of last years Stampin Up fall patterned paper. Then decorated it with Leaves cut with Leaves #2 Big shot die, and stamped with Days of Gratitude.

Please make sure you check out DtsArt blog to see all this weeks projects, and to Purchase

A couple more pictures, just because I love this project so much!

I ended up using 2 of the 5 frames. One blown up and one used very small. Here is my Layout, I hope you all Like it.

For the Vampire Owl I used 2 petals to make his cape. I added some fangs with a gel pen.

For the Ghost owl I just flipped one owl upside down and trimmed the feet off and you have a ghost. I also punched one out of orange to have some orange little feet sticking out. I decided to trim the ears off but you could also leave them on if you wanted to.

For Frankenstein. I used the candle from the cupcake punch to make bolts. I also cut a petal from early espresso and then cut it down until I liked it to make his hair.

They were all pretty simple but fun to make!
