Grad Cards

This file was a freebie from TreasureBox Designs. Since I had so many cards to make I decided to do it assembly line style just changing the colors to match the schools they were graduating from.

Handy Boy Set Card

Tool Belt Card

Using a file I found in the Silhouette store for a card and adding my own images from ppbn designs I created a cute card. Still deciding if it is going to be a birthday card or a Father's Day card. These tools are just too cute. I made sure when I glued the pockets on the card that I left the top open to insert my pieces.

Quick Beary Special Valentine

 Just a quick print and cut valentine. I made a offset around the bear after I traced it in Design Studio. I then mirrored it up and moved it so that the ears toughed just a little and then welded both together. the phrase inside was traced, printed and cut. Only took a few minutes to finish. This could of also been done as a pieced project. File used was Beary Special Valentine.

Santa Owl card

This is a card I made to send out. I printed the png. file and then sized the two green svg. file pieces to fit on my base to give it some depth. I added ultra fine Flower soft to the brim and ball of hat. Before I cut the base I offset the image because I wanted the white layer. To make it a card I cut this layer twice and placed a fold line on the back image. Simple card but came out cute. File I used was Santa Owl.

Finger Puppets with bendy card.

 I loved the card by Samantha Walker from the Silhouette Store but wanted it to be a fun card for my granddaughter so I knew just what to add, print then cut figures from PPbN Designs.com. Instead of piecing such small figures I used the .png.

Sleeping Princess and the retired set Once Upon A Dream. I used a cone shape to turn these cuts into finger puppets.

I print then cut the Happy Birthday title to go on the inside and cut the Princess. I hope my grand daughter will love this card.

Print Then Cut with the DE software for the Silhouette Cameo. I have updated to 3.0.343

1. Choose design, I choose the png but you can also color and put back together the svg file. For this I am going to talk about a png file.
2. add the Registration marks. 4th button at top from the right. Looks like sheet of paper with registration marks. Under style button choose your machine.
3. Now to get cut lines go to 6 button from right. Open trace window. The one with a butterfly.
Select trace area and make a box around image. Now time to play with the different settings. I turned off High Pass and moved the Threshold to 100%. The balloons on my image didn't completely yellow out but I am just tracing the outside edge so it worked for me. Trace outer edge.
4. If you are wanting a white border just use the offset and remember to take away the other cut line.
5. Choose print setting for you printer and print. Button looks like printer.

6. Put paper on mat and I add a extra light in front of my machine. Cut.

 Add the Registration marks and make sure your image is inside the marks.

This is with High pass on and I might have gotten away with this since I only need the outline but I choose to unclick that and use the Threshold to 100%.

 Just showing the cut line, move image back into place to print and then cut or if you like the white border use the offset but remember to remove the first cut line either by moving it out of the way or changing it to no cut.

Halloween Card

Hello everyone I am posting on Tuesday this week because I am a guest designer Die Cuttin' Divas this week. My challenge this week was to use this sketch to make a card or layout.

I decided to make a Halloween card.

The file I used was Scary-Haunted House and for the title I used Halloween title both from ppbndesigns.com. For fun I cut the bottom layer from glow in the dark paper. Hope you enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed making it.

Jasmine Birthday card with pop out book base

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I found this card base and I knew I wanted to make a card out of it. The ppbn files worked great for my princess birthday card. I first put the card together so I had an idea how large I could make my paper piecings.

 Next I cut out the figures I wanted, I glittered the castle tops and generated the Make a wish in my DE software. The genie is on a wobble so he moves.

Members Exclusive file Dessert Princess with the Lori Whitlock file called 2a pop out book card. Put it all together and this is my card. To become a member of PPbN Designs.

Monster Card

Welcome to PPbN Designs blog post for this Monday. I made a layout with these monsters last week and this week I made a Birthday card for my grandson. The file can be found here.

 This shows how I laid out the card before I cut the pieces. I did this to make sure all my pieces would fit or if I would have to re-size them. I had a large envelope but no card bases so I just cut a 12 x 12 piece of white cardstock to 12 x 9, scored at 6 inches, and folded. The monsters are on foam dots with Mike on dots thicker than Sulley's. The stamp I used was from a CTMH set I had around. This was a great way to use my scraps from my layout. Thank you for looking.

M&M Mother's Day Card

               You're My Favorite M&M Mother's Day card                         This is the image I started with,

I loaded the SVG file of the title and rearranged the pieces to come up with this image.

I separated the pieces out and loaded the mat.

 I cut two of the base shape and on one I added a score line.

You can either put the M on the green M or not.

Bride and Groom from PPbN Designs

This is a new file and I just had to try and make something from it. Bride and groom file is here.
I used a card base and added a background paper and the ribbon. The Mr & Miss is from the Sil. Store and I made an offset for it.

Choo-choo pop up card.

This file is from the Silhouette online store. The stamp set is from CTMH.

Making a card from a shape file.

 ppbndesigns,com Hoppy Easter. to make a card I first set up the card in DE of the Silhouette software. I added a off set when I have everything where it would be in the finished card.

 I then took all the pieces and separated them. I choose my paper and cut out each piece. The offset piece I cut twice and added a score line when I was going to attach.

 This is all the pieces laid out for assenbly.

 I attached the back to the front.
