Happy Birthday to Rob

Hey, Birthdays can be celebrated before or after the birthday.  I made a card for my middle son, Rob and will give it to him today.  I decided to try an unused file from Silhouette by Lori Whitlock and a little trial and error on my part came out pretty well.  But I didn't think about the measurements and my card is too big for most of my envelopes, so next time I'll reduce the size.  I didn't want anything girly, so chose chocolate for the cake bottom and a cream colored frosting.

When you pull the sides, the "51" pops up. 

Supplies:
Silhouette - Lori Whitlock design
Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 18 Nest
12 X 12 papers
6X6 Moda Scrap Thinking about Rio De Janeiro Collection from Elizabeth Craft Designs
Manila Folder
Nuvo Glitter Drops Ruby Slippers
Cameo Silhouette
Vagabond die cut machine

Thank you to Cheapo Dies

 which goes a long way.

The challenge at Die Cut Divas is to submit a project which uses silhouette(s). 

I'm thinking Halloween already with a black cat in a tree by the light of the moon.  This was so much fun for me.
This is not a Cheapo Die, but you can find so much to make a card similar to mine.  If you want a cat, you might choose Cat on a fence or Flowery cat, but if you want a spooky house, do I have one for you, right here.

Road Trip

Cheapo Dies is offering a $15 gift certificate,

 which goes a long way.

The challenge at Die Cut Divas is to submit a project which uses silhouette(s). 
A silhouette is the image of a person, animal, object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single color, usually black, with its edges matching the outline of the subject

I recently purchased the inner arch and wanted to use it, coupling it with the Spellbinders' large arch and a motorcyclist from Silhouette.  Not until I took the photo did I connect the RIP (Rest In Peace) above the motorcyclist.

While this is not a Cheapo Die, Cheapo Dies has similar dies such as unbranded cutting dies - Gothic Window or a lady pane.  Cheapo Dies has many dies that would make perfect silhouettes.  This post is on Die Cut Divas here.
