More new Cut Files

Good Evening Everyone....And Happy Hump Day to you all....I hope you've all been blessed with wonderful days and are all able to stay warm and safe from this cold weather!!!!  I've been having lots of fun lately creating some items for swaps and a couple orders I had....which included me creating some more new cut files!!!!!  Thought I would share with you my creations and the cut files!!!!!

So.....Here we go!!! ;)

This first creation is for a Christmas Candy Bar Swap for my ARTHaven Creations & Friendships Yahoo Group.......We are to design a wrapper for a Hershey's Candy Bar......this is my creation.....Had ALOT of fun doing this....the FLOWER is a Poinsetta Cut File I had designed and shared a couple months ago....if you like it you can click on the link and download the svg file for free....3DPONSETTA

The Merry Christmas on the tag I actually did with my Cricut and some mini Gel Pens.....LOVE it....I placed it where I wanted it located on the shape I wanted....placed the words on one layer in Inkscape and the scallop on another layer below it......turned the eye off the scallop layer and printed the words Merry Christmas first.....INSTEAD of hitting UNLOAD I PUSHED LOAD......then I swapped out the gel pen for the blade housing....closed the eye on the Merry Christmas...opened the eye on the scallop shape and then cut....WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!!!!  The Scallop shapes are a file I created months ago and shared also...if you like it you may click SCLP3ST to download the scallop oval file......


Ok....These next creations are for some tags I designed and created in Inkscape per a request from my boss.......I LOVE the way these turned out......

These files have MULTIPLE uses.......as you'll see on my next project........Used my embossing sleeves to decorate, embossing powders.....Tim Holtz Distress Inks...Skittles...Ribbon and Glitter.....LOVE the way these turned out and they resize wonderfully!!!  If you're interested in these files I've got a picture of the SVG files below...you can just click the image and it will take you to the page on my website where you can download the svg files for free......I do offer them in other formats for a small fee.....


This next project......Is very special to me....it's for a very dear cyber friend who is like my soul sister......I can't wait for her to get it...I just wonder if she'll be able to stay away from peaking until her package arrives....This is a Christmas Book for my ARTHaven Creations & Friendships Yahoo Group........We used 3 lunch sacks folded in half and made into a book...SUPER fun to make.......

I designed and created several different cut files to create this book.....I'm showing images of the SVG files below....if you would like to have any of them....please just click on the image below and it will take you to the page on my website where you can download the SVG file.........


Now these are all the cut files I've designed and created as of late.....the 2 tattoo cut files are drawings my oldest son Billy Duncan has drawn free hand.....I decided to bring them into Inkscape and hand trace each area on them.....WELL worth the outcome I believe...He's SO talented and I treasure his creations.....so I'm sharing with you the cut files as well........Some of the others are requests I've had the past couple of weeks....As always if you would like to have any of them....just click the image...it will take you to the page on my website where you may download the SVG file for free...they are also available in other formats for a small fee.....

I AS ALWAYS want to THANK YOU for taking time to stop by and visit with me.....Means WAY more then you'll ever know!!! I hope you've found somethings here you enjoy or can use!!!!!  I love hearing from you and I do hope you will come by and visit with me again.......I hope you all have a VERY blessed Thursday.....until next time......

Another one complete...

Yahoo....It feels SO good to be productive with paper!!!! I had a swap I needed to get completed for a yahoo group I belong to...ArtyKards.....the theme is Black/Red.......I wanted to do something special so I decided to use this AMAZING copy of a drawing my oldest son...Billy Duncan drew back in 2008.....He is so wonderful at drawing and this is just a small sample of his talent......Yes it is a tattoo drawing for something he had a request for....but I think it is beautiful!!! I've used this drawing before but I just couldn't resist for this swap.......because he had created it in red/black....

I printed his drawing onto watercolor paper........and then cut a couple extra layers of the Chinese writing as well as an extra of one of the flowers to make them pop up off the card......I kissed the edges of the image layer with black and red Tim Holtz distress ink...as well as the card base......I also added the silver brads to the card......I REALLY like this card...very different from what I usually create but perfect for this swap I think.....


I wanted to create an envelope to cooridinate with this card so I created one using his image.......because the card was an odd shape I had to do a bit of modification once I printed off the template I created by adding a bit more paper to one end of the envelope....If I would have had a 12x24 mat for the cricut I would have been fine but I haven't gotten any of those yet....so I made due......where I had to splice the paper together I ran a strip of ribbon across the seam to make it look like it was intentional.....turned out well I think........


Ok.....I'm attaching the files if anyone is interested.......If you are you know the drill on downloading.......

Ok, that's about it for me for tonight...I have a screaming headache I can't seem to get rid of...I knew better then to come home without my migraine medicine..regular tylenol or ibuprophen just doesn't cut it.....so I'll have to try and deal with this til morning....probably won't be a good night's sleep... sigh!!!! BUT...as ALWAYS I want to THANK YOU for coming by to visit with me........I TRULY appreciate it!!! I pray you all have a VERY blessed Tuesday!!!!

It's Tuesday...but feels like Monday!!!

Good Evening everyone......WOW what a wonderful weekend I had playing with paper...sure was hard getting back into the work groove today....All day I was thinking it was Monday!!! LOL But tomorrow is ALREADY hump day!!! :)

After posting all the cards I created this weekend I couldn't resist doing one more last night.....I have 2 boys as I've shared previously.....one that's 14 and one that will be 23 in March.....He's and ARTist in his own right but will never admit it....He LOVES to draw....he also loves to get tattoo's (which mom doesn't like) but what to do....anyway.....he also draws art for people to have tattooed on their body.......I love what he does and I always scan them and save them to my computer so I'll have them forever and ever....I've been wanting to use some of them in my art....so yesterday I decided to do just that!!!

I printed the image on to vellum paper...layered it over black cardstock and used square brads to attach them together...I think it gives the vellum a cleaner look.....the base of the card is black and then I created a red/black crayon paper to use as the background......Have I mentioned how much I LOVE crayon paper!!!!! :) LOL, you can custom make whatever color you might want!!! LOL...BUT, I MUST warn you...it is VERY addictive!!!! LOL....Just like Lay's potato chips...You CAN'T MAKE JUST ONE!!!! LOL

Ok, back to my story...sorry, I tend to get distracted easy when it comes to crayon paper!!! LOL
The message on the card I did combining 2 different Rubber Stamps....then layered my layers of paper them the same way.....I've raised the image and the words up off the card in different levels.......I also took a photo of my crayon paper then imported it into my graphic program, duplicated turned duplicated layer....etc, you get the point to create another designer page then printed on my large format printer and made the envie to match the card!!! I think the colors of everything work awesome together...I believe my baby will be happy with the results....


Today I've decided that I MUST organize my graphics on my computer.....I have literally thousands and thousands and thousands of images....some of which I know I'll never use......some are in folders I don't want them in and I know I'm not accessing them the way I want....so I'm going through each folder and doing just that.....talk about taking a LONG time!!! But I'm super anal and I know it's gotta be done or it's going to drive me CRAZY!!! LOL

Also have several swaps I'm signed up for I need to get working on...which is one of the reasons I want my images organized so I can FIND SOMETHING!!! LOL

OH YEAH....Almost forgot to share....I purchased a slot today to showcase my ETSY store all day http://pennyduncancreations.etsy.com/ .....I'm kinda excited about it only cause it's something I've never done before and I'm just wondering if it will make any difference...only time will tell but I'm surely hoping so!!!

Ok, guess NOW that's about it....I want to again THANK YOU for stopping by to visit with me!!!! Please come again....I love having you stop by!!! Until then, I pray you ALL have a wonderfully blessed evening!!!
