3-D Fire Hydrant Party Decor

I had to make another 3-D item for the other end of the party table at my Grandson's 3rd Birthday Party.  It will go well with the 3-D fire truck I created in an earlier post with Marshall the Dalmatian on it.  This file came from SVG Attic and is called JGW Little Fire Chief kit.  What an awesome File!!!  I have to say it was a little difficult to put together but wow, love the result and I love how very sturdy it is!  You can find the whole fabulous kit here

I used Red Card Stock, Black Card Stock and some pattern paper from my stash for the accent pieces.

 This fun 3-D cut is also a box to add a gift or treats into.
 I followed along with a picture tutorial with a link from their site which you can find here:

3-D Fire Engine Party Decor

Hello crafty Friends.  I am sharing this awesome 3-D Firetruck I made using a file from one of  SVG Cuts Many awesome kits called Patriotic Parade.  I am making some fun Party decor for my Grandson's 3rd Birthday Party and He wants Paw Patrol theme.  His favorite character from the show is Marshall the Dalmatian Dog which is a fire Marshall so I thought this would be really cute on the table.

I chose not to make mine in the patriotic pattern papers but in red and white with diamond plate chrome.  I added a second section of the ladder to stick up and attached it with silver brads.  I left off the flags over the cab and popped up the light bar on foam squares.  I also popped up the chrome rims with foam squares.  Those are large gems for the light bar - Red, Blue & Amber I used large clear gems for the headlights.

I also added red Gems for the Brake Lights.  The back also lifts open on its hinges to reveal it is also a box for goodies.  I really enjoyed making this one, I truly love all of Mary's Files from SVG CUTS

I also had to add a cutout of Marshall on to this fun Party decoration.  I think this will be so cute on the Cake/Gift table.

Celebrate Stars & Stripes Card

I decided to do one more Fourth of July Card while I still had my supplies handy.  It will be great to add to my stash for next year.  The layout is based on the fun new Sketch Challenge at Die Cuttin Divas this week

  

This card is sized at 5x5 with a top fold.  I used Neena 110lb white card stock for the base of the card.  The layers are all cut from a K&Company paper pad called Americana and a little more of the Neena White card stock.  The two triangle pieces, I used my sew stamper to add a stitched look down the center.... I need more practice with this tool lol  a little bit off center but that's ok, doesn't have to be perfect.  The Stitched Star shapes (3 larger Stars)  are from an SVG file called Basic Faux Stitched Shapes.  I purchased an embellishment kit that matched this Americana paper pad and that is where the pre-cut die-cuts - lighter blue Glitter star & the Blue glitter swirls are from.  The center red star is cut from Red Glitter Foam using the star shape from Simon Says Stamp dies - Bundle of Stitched Shapes.  I also used the Tag from that set as well.  I added a white inner piece for the sentiment to be stamped.  The Celebrate! Stamp is from Crafters Companion Sheena Douglass Christmas Stamp Set.  The Fireworks are cut from the Cricut Stand & Salute Cartridge.  I cut those from some blue and red holographic paper.  I accented with some fun new red and blue sequins I just got from a Peachy Cheap online deal.... I added bead in the center of each with Tulip Red & Blue Beads in a Bottle. 

For the Inside I used a 4.75x4.75 square that I had cut the middle layer red star from the front.  love to be able to use up the negative cuts too.  I stamped the Happy Fourth of July sentiment in blue, that is from Craftin Desert Divas Happy Celebrations Stamp Set.  The glitter fireworks are again from matching embellishment kit of pre-cut die-cuts. All edges of all pieces are inked with walnut distress ink using my round blending tool accept for front white sentiment piece... that one is inked with Abandoned Coral distress ink.

Beehive shaped Card

I adore shaped cards, so when my friend Cheryl and I were trying to come up with some cute card ideas I told her I would love a honeycomb shaped card, so she made that for me (Which I shared in post before this one)  but then she also made this adorbs one and sent to me to play with.... OMG!  I loved it as soon as I saw it!  So easy to put this one together!

Beehive Shaped Card file @ creativekuts.com

So I added a few extras like the twine flight trail.  She had a cute bee included with this file but I wanted to use my Cheery Lynn - "Tiny Things With Wings" Bee die-cut.  for the bee's...I cut the bottom layer in white and adhered the black cutout layer on top leaving the black eyes in because I thought it looked better in this case.  I colored in the wings and body with my spectrum noir markers on both bigger bees.  The smaller bee and heart are HOTP Dazzles(I used the same marker to color in the bee body). The sentiment stamp is from Craftin Desert Divas - Lil Bit Buggie set - Just Bee-Cause

The flowers, leaves and buttons were included with the card file.

For the inside:
I cut the inside layer from the card file out of White Card Stock which I inked the edges with Walnut Stain distress ink.  for the Sentiment I stamped the You're So Sweet from HOTP Thank You! Stamp Set.... once on yellow cardstock that I used my SNC2 to cut around the shape leaving a small extended edge around the whole thing.  I stamped again on white card stock and used my SNC2 to cut that as well only this time I choose to cut a preloaded pattern and went with a Circle.  I was able to scan in the white stamped image and then size and move the circle exactly how I wanted it over the "SO" circle and then cut.... I love that Machine!!!  I then took my Spectrum Noir Markers to color in the SO Circle with colors matching up with the front of the card.  I also stamped a couple of flowers in Red Chalk ink with the from the same stamp set.  I added a dotted trail and placed another Bee Dazzle like on the front and again colored with my spectrum noir markers.

I of course made a fun matching envelope with my WRMK 123 Punch Board just with some yellow paperthat was similar to the front of the card and stamped it with the adorable Bee stamp from Craftin Desert Divas Lil Bit Buggie Stamp Set.

Honeycomb Shaped Card

so here is the Honeycomb Shaped card.  When I asked Cheryl to make this card file for me I told her I wanted to be able to use it with a new stamp set and die cut set I recently received from crafters companion magazine.  Wow she nailed it, I was even able to size it to fit my die cuts perfectly, so some of the hexagons I cut with her file and the stitched ones are cut with my new dies.  The large yellow stitched ones I also stamped with the floral hexagon stamp from the crafters companion mag stamp set in stampabilities - bright pink pigment ink.

I thought it would be fun to go with yellow and black and throw lots of pink in there too.  I really like how it turned out.

Honeycomb Shaped Card @ Creativekuts.com

I loved playing around and layering this card up to create some fun dimension.  The Bee's are again Cheery Lynn die Cuts - Tiny Things With wings.  The center beehive and the flowers are all dazzles from HOTP.  I colored them all in with spectrum noir markers.  All of the pattern papers are from my new Lawn Fawn 6x6 stack - in the meadow

For the inside I used a flower and bee stamp from same crafters companion set as I used on the front. I colored in with spectrum noir markers.  The adorable sentiment stamp is from Craftin Desert Divas - Lil Bit Buggie Stamp Set.
