Hi everyone!

I just enjoyed all the snow we’ve had here in NH at Pat’s Peak with the kids while they are on vacation. Each year Childhood Cancer Lifeline has a snow tubing even for the families of children with Cancer, and it is always a blast!! We met several great new families, and while it was a bit chilly (it was snowing all day) going downhill, we all had a GREAT day!!

I really need to get some photos edited soon too 😀 The kids are getting SO BIG! And seem so OLD!

Today we have our last day of peek projects until YOU can start making your own instantly!

    • Now let me get started with today’s project!

    I wanted to create something that would really stand out, and show you the amazing design possibilities of the What’s Your Angle? template. I think I really achieved that with little effort. I let the pattern be my focus.

    Many of you tell me you are scared to use more than one piece of patterned paper on a project. Those of you who find this challenging will possibly love today’s project, as it shows you how you can easily do that!

    All our Pretty Printables Digital Paper comes in a collection. All the pattern are made to coordinate with each other, and make pairing patterns easier than ever. Best part too…they match our Pretty Impressions Stamp Sets 😀

    Today I used a total of 3 patterns using one of our newest Pretty Printables Digital Paper Collections called Cheerful Chirps, to be the focus of my project! The bird pattern was used on the large panels. I also added the additional coordinating pack: Cheerful Musical Magic (the music note paper). That was used on the side angle panels.

    FUN huh?!!

    All the way around, this template is perfectly patterned!!

    Now how about that label?

    Well, this is another Pretty Pieces Cut File: Cornice Trimmed Circle.

    Be sure you check out the entire set of Cornice Trimmed Labels:

    4 label styles in total: circle, square, rectangle, oval

    This is a set of layering labels that have a simply stunning cornice border! You can use them to perfectly frame/layer any of our sentiments, or images! No matter what you add to the center of these shapes, it is sure to take the attention.

    You can add adhesive pearls or rhinestones to the bordering details for some extra WOW!

    I resized it to about 3 inches.

    There I stamped my branch image from Singing Silhouette, with the berry builder, and then stamped the sentiment over it, from the NEW! Keep Strong set.

    Soft, simple and serene. A perfect package for a someone going through a tough time.

    Some sentiment contributions from Catherine Doucette

    The sentiments in this set were designed to be inspirational for those going through a difficult time. I’m certain they will help you make a card for anyone in your life who needs to “Keep Strong”.

    You Rock: 2 inches wide X 1 inch tall

    Because I care: 1 1/2 inches long

    Keep strong and carry on: 1 1/4 inch long

    Failure is not falling down, but refusing to get up.: 2 inches wide X 1 1/4 inch tall

    Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will: 2 3/4 inches wide X 1 1/2 inches tall

    The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step – Confucius: 2 inches wide X 1 1/4 inches tall

    I think we can agree the collection of sentiments is amazing!

    Last but not least…the TOP of the box!

    Isn’t it lovely?

    More patterned paper (matches the Singing Silhouette Stamp set) and the Branching Out Cut File.

    This is a stunning branch and flower cut out that is perfect for decorating cards, tags and packaging templates!

    Branch image is 5 1/2 inches long. Included 2 flowers. Images are resizable.

    Also be sure to check out the Singing Silhouette stamp set, the Caged Pretty Packaging Template , and the A Little Birdie Pretty Pieces Cut File, which are a perfect addition to this cut file!

    I used the flower from the NEW! Branching Out Cut File resized to 3 inches, then 2 1/2 inches, and lastly 2 inches for this project.

    I scored the center of the flowers , making the folds of the petals alternate  for each petal layer.

    The perfect topper for this box!
