More Box Frame - Family Tree's - Silhouette Cameo

A few more family trees to share with you

As before the wooden pieces are bought from Bespoke Lazercutz .

The first one is a little different as I have painted the leaves and hearts with acrylic paint before adding the lettering. 

 

 

The lettering has been cut in silver vinyl as I didn't think black would show up very well on the burgundy hearts.  The frames I have used so far are from Ikea which are good value but only available in black or white.  The frames used for these trees are Ribba Frame  which are approx 25cm square (inner approx 23cm square)

 

 

This was my first black frame,  I quite like it!

The background and gem colour are chosen to fit in with the décor of the home it is going to live in.

 

 

For this size of Tree and frame I wouldn't want to add many more hearts/names than this one as I feel it would hide too much of the beautiful tree.

 

 

Silhouette Cameo - 21st Birthday Box Card

I am just catching up on posting,  

I have lots to share 

This is a 21st Birthday Card from last year.

I was asked to make a Barbie Pink, More bling the better card.

This is another model of the Box Card I have developed during the year.

This card ended up being 12" tall

All cut on the Silhouette Cameo Machine  most of the shapes are bought from the 

Silhouette Library with lettering designed.

I did try to use glitter to make the letters blingy but failed miserably...

In the end I cut the letters etc from white card, 

 stamped with pink ink and heat embossed with holographic powder.  

I think it worked well.

A Card would not be complete without a box.

The box has been covered with papers from Pink Petticoat Digital Papers.

Love them as you can colour co-ordinate with anything.

Box Frame - Family Tree - Silhouette Cameo

Today I would like to share with you my latest projects.  

Although I would like to say they were totally made on the Silhouette Cameo Machine  

To get the look I wanted I needed to buy Lazer Cut wooden trees & hearts.

I bought the trees from Bespoke Lazercutz , a small business just setting up, very approachable and providing a wonderful service.  

The trees are specifically designed to fit the Ikea, Ribba frame  10" square  (23cm)

The lettering for each heart is cut in vinyl on my Silhouette Cameo Machine.

I have left all of my tree's natural so far but the tree and hearts can be painted.

The four shown here were given as presents to family and friends.

But I am taking orders for these if anyone would like one made.

Please contact me at karenmanton99@aol.com for more details.

Silhouette Cameo - Modern Wedding - Box Card 2

Here is another Wedding Box Card made for a friend to give to her son and wife made with my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine.

 The box base was made from Centura double sided pearlescent card (which I love crafting with)  The front face of the box is 5" x 5" with the side faces 5" high x 3" deep.

The cutting file for the box base and most of the personalised lettering is my own design, the lattice, hearts and other shapes were bought from the Silhouette Design Store where most cutting files are 59p  

 

 

The request was to "bling it up" so I used holographic mirror card as the

second layer of the lettering.

 and added diamante's to the lattice on the base for extra bling!  (5mm on the front and 2mm on the sides)

For a personal message to the happy couple a card is added to the back of the box

You can see the coffee stirrer sticks from this angle!

 

 A custom made box/envelope is made for each card,  although they fold virtually flat they are quite tall and wide.

 

Silhouette Cameo - Modern Wedding - Box Card

I enjoyed making this wedding card so very much,  My friends (who it was made for) gave me a blank canvas of Colour theme, Names & date and left me to it.

The base of the card is 5" x 5" front panel with 5" x 3" side panels.  

All cut from Pearlescent Card on my Silhouette Cameo Machine.  

 The shapes (hearts, butterflies, Lattice, Mr&Mrs, Horseshoe and Kissing Couple) were all bought from the Sil Store.  

The words, names and dates I designed and blinged up with some Stickles.

Once the base box was constructed and elements cut each one was glued onto a 

wooden coffee stirrer and placed using a glue gun

Although I forgot to take a photograph the card will fold almost flat.

I made a Card Box approx 10" wide by 10" high by 1" deep which I added ribbon to and personalised.

Silhouette Cameo - Tina Fitch - 75th birthday

This is my latest card made for my dear Mother in-law.

Most of the elements of the card were cut on my Silhouette Cameo machine

The cutting file for the numbers and the main background were bought from 

Tina Fitch - Forever Memories   I adore her files for the detail.

I made a standard 8" square card which I have then mounted on an easel base to allow to add the "Mum plate and some embellishment 

 The numbers have four layers, the base is cut from Burgundy, layer 3 is holographic card,

layer 2 is burgundy again with the front layer cut from Docrafts, Papermania, Capsule collection. 

The front stopper plate was made from the same cards with the label and "Mum"

cut on the Cameo.  I cut 4 layers of Mum to make a chipboard.

The flowers and pearls were from my stash. 

I also made a box for the card with a file bought from the Silhouette Cameo store.

Silhouette Cameo - Tina Fitch - Mothering Sunday Card

This is another beautiful cutting file from Tina Fitch Forever Memories  and cut on my Silhouette Cameo machine  

I made two of these cards (one for Mum & the other for Mum-in-law)

I felt the back needed a base colour behind it so added the purple back on both

This also made it a sturdier card.

On one I added the backing colour to the front gates too

Although I liked both cards I prefer the one with the front gates left as a lattice.

I added a bunch of spring coloured mulberry flowers tied with a contrasting ribbon 

 to the inside of both cards and also some flat back pearls to enhance the pattern.

The slightly larger pearls show up much better.

I am still playing with my cutting machine really,  I have so much more to learn but love it when I get the settings right and get a good clean crisp cut without the need to "weed" too much
