PPPR Go Green Blog Hop

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!

 

 

Welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Go Green Blog Hop!

 

If you arrived from Gloria's blog, then you're in the right place. If you want to start from the beginning, then hop on over to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog.  You aren't going to want to miss any projects today.

 

The theme of today's hop is "Go Green". So, we're sharing nature and conservation themed projects using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files. 

 

For my project I made a couple of plant markers.  Spring is here and we have started to plant vegetables.  I love having fresh vegetables to cook, and my little one loves watching them grow, and helping me pick them.

 

Tomatoes and chili peppers are just a few of the veggies that we like to grow, but this is what we have started with.  I hope to have a garden full of fresh vegetable plants, all with cute markers.

All American Boy

Hello Crafty Friends!

 

Are you ready for Spring?  Fortunately I live where the weather is nice almost year-round, but we are excited about the longer days and warmer temps.

 

We're also excited that baseball season is here!

 

Today is my day to share over at the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog.  I made a simple shaped card using the "Baseball and Bat" cutting file.

 

 

I made a baseball themed baby quilt for a friend's new baby and this is the perfect card to go with it.

 

Details:

"Baseball" from the "Baseball and Bat" cutting file

(To make it a shape card, I cut an extra base piece and attached it on the back.)

Sweet Stamp Shop Grand Re-Opening Celebration

Hello Crafty Friends!

Welcome to the Sweet Stamp Shop's Grand Re-Opening!

 

I am so excited to be one of the designers helping them celebrate today!

 

 

This card I made using a sentiment from the "Sail Away Sayings" stamp set.  The background is fabric!  I ironed it on to some fusible webbing before cutting to size, and then lightly ironed it on to the cardstock.

 

Sweet Stamp Shop is celebrating all month long so be sure to be a fan of their Facebook page.  You aren't going to want to miss a thing!

 

And...

 

You are going to want to make sure you stop by and comment/follow/like all the designer's links today because one of us will be giving away a $25 gift card to the store!

 

Is it me?

 

Maybe ;)

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Foxy Lip Balm Holder

Hello Crafty Friends!

 

Today is my day to share over at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and I made a cute lip balm holder using the "Lip Balm Fox" cutting file.

 

It seems like these eos lip balms are quite popular and Lisa has made a cute fox holder.  These are a great way to gift them.

 

 

Isn't it cute?!  And they are super easy to assemble too!  I think these are going to be a fun way for the Easter Bunny to leave these in my daughter's baskets :)

 

Have a great week and Thanks for stopping by!

 Whether you're cooking or baking you can always use some cute kitchen towels.  And if you're like me, then you like to have cute themed towels that get changed out regularly. 

 

 

 If you're a regular follower of my blog, you might have noticed that I have been sharing a few fabric related posts lately.  I am in love with using my Silhouette Cameo and PPPR cutting files to create cute fabric appliques.

 

Materials:

 

 

 store bought towels

fabric pieces

Heat N Bond

and your favorite PPPR cutting files (I find it easiest to use simple shapes.)

For these, I used cuts from the "Hoppy Easter" cutting files.

 

The blog candy for this hop is a $15 GC to the PPPR store.

For a chance to win, you must be a follower of each blog and leave a comment on each blog. For extra chances, you can also "LIKE" Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons on Facebook and/or sign up for the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Newsletter.

Fabric Shamrocks

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today is my day to share over at the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog, and I am sharing a fabric project using the "Shamrock Faces" cutting files.

I love using svg files to create and cut out fabric appliques for sewing and quilting projects.  But you can also use fabric on paper projects as well.

Here is a fabric zippered pouch and a matching card that I made using the same fabric applique.

 

Here is the zippered pouch:

 

 

 And here is the card:

(You will want to have the paper backing still on one side.  This is what will "stick" to your cutting mat.)
