3-D Paper Pumpkin at Pammie's Inky Pinkies

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!  Today starts a new challenge week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and our sponsor is The Cutting Cafe.

For my design team project, I've used the 3-D Pumpkin Template and Cutting File kindly provided by our sponsor.  I have an electronic cutting machine so I chose to use the SVG file for the pumpkin pieces but you do not need a cutting machine.  You can trace the template provided in the set and hand cut the pieces.

I wanted a very full pumpkin so I cut the Pumpkin base and 12 half pieces.  I used various patterned papers from a 12x12 paper stack from Jen Hadfield and snippets of colored card for the leaves, stem and tendril.

This 3-D pumpkin is the medium cut size; the set includes a small and large pumpkin template also.  My project measures approximately 8" in total height.  I think I will create a large and small one to compliment this pumpkin and display on my sofa table.

Please stop by Pammie's to see what my teammates have created and be inspired.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge - Birthday Notebook

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!  Today begins a new challenge week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and the theme is Anything Goes.  Our sponsor this week is The Cutting Cafe and I've chosen to create a Notebook using a template from our sponsor.

The template I've used to create this Birthday/Address Notebook is the Notebook Cover Template which happens to be a PDF file however it's easy enough to print out the template and take measurements. 

The notebook meaures 8" H x 4" W and I've used papers from the Kat Scrappiness Birthday Essentials 6" x 8" paper pack to decorate.  This PDF file also contains a pocket template for the inside.

Using my Crop-A-Dile, I punched 3 holes in the Spine that were evenly spaced and sewed a bookbinding using Baker's Twine.  I used my Dymo Label Maker to create a Title and adhered the strips to a panel that has been punched with a decorative edge.

Please join us this week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies, we would love to see your projects.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - The Cutting Cafe

Hello Again!  I'm back to announce today starts a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and the gracious sponsor this week is The Cutting Cafe.  This sponsor has loads of SVG Cutting Files and templates for those without an electronic cutting machine.

For my design team project, I created a fun shaped card with the Crayon Shaped Card SVG file.  This card also comes in the following formats:  PDF, SVG, MTC and WPC.  The set also includes sentiments in PDF and JPEG formats. 

It's a cute, fun shaped card, easy to put together and I have a Cricut Machine so I opted to use the SVG file.  I cut a rainbow of card scrap and paper pieced the project together.  The sentiment is one included in the set.  I added White Gel Pen doodles and sequins to complete the project.

Please join us this week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Happy Mail - Pammie's Inky Pinkies

 Hello!  Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and our sponsor this round is The Cutting Cafe.  This challenge has a theme which is Orange.  For my Design Team Project, I had the pleasure of creating a shaped card from the Cutting Cafe.

The Cutting Cafe offers files in an SVG format for cutting machines such as the Cricut and Silhouette.  If you do not have a cutting machine, they also offer files in a JPG format for hand cutting.  Also included in your purchase are instructions and recommended dimensions for your project.

I used the Happy Mail Digital File in the SVG format, uploading it to Cricut Design Space.  I cut the recommended files in 3 different colors - the Shadow layer in solid Orange, the Middle or body of the card in White and the Outer Overlay in a Polka Dot Patterned card.  

I wanted to embellish my card so I used die cuts and green gems.  To give the card a bit of dimension, I inked around the images with distress inks.  I am pleased with the finished project, it was very easy to put together.

Please stop by Pammie's Inky Pinkies and enter your Orange themed project for a chance to win a gret prize from The Cutting Cafe.

Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!
