Caz used my TM00118 Diamond Card Inserts file to create this card.

Below she explains how:

I used on of the flower inserts, copied and reversed it. I then removed the outside edge and reshaped my card mat to follow the diamond shape of the inserts. I also made another diamond for my sentiment which was written with the pen tool on my KNK. I have used DCWV glittered and textured cardstock.

I just Love this card. Caz did a wonderful job and what a great use for this file. 

I created this card from Card-I-ology Creations gorgeous digital cutter file, TM00115 - Easter Card. I have used textured card stock and inked the edges of all the layers. I also layered eyelet lace under the front layer. I created the rounded corner card base, so rounded the edges of the mat the Cross sits on. I resized the Cross and Mat slightly, but they still cut really well. I have added Dimension Magic to the title.

Heather made this Birthday card using Darcy's Designs cutting file Birthday Stencil Kit. Here is part of her blog post, to see Heathers awesome blog go here:

Stencils with your Silhouette? Oh Yes!

Heather made the two cards below using Darcy's Designs Block Stencil Kit.  Her instructions follow each card.

For these cards I took two blocks of the Block Stencil Kit and enlarged them to 2.5x2.5" each.  They come either in the sheet, or as individual blocks, so once I enlarged them and centered them on a rectangle (4.25x5.5") I removed the outline of the block so that the stencil part would stay on the paper I was making for my card.  This created the centerpiece, if you will, for my cards.

For the hearts card I cut a frame out using my nesties and cuttlebug and put it over the stencil part.  I used a scrap piece of red paper to put behind the hearts.  Chalked the border of the paper I cut on my Silhouette and then stamped "love" and added some flowers to the end.  Voila!

For this card I followed the same kind of thing as above, but instead of the red paper, I used - get this - a part of the blue plastic bag that covers our paper each week.  Good way to recycle, right? :-)  I was going for more of a stained glass look.  I wanted the blue to really show through, but I wanted it on a black card, so I layered the blue plastic and then white paper behind the stencil (blue plastic on black would've been too dark).  Then I added bling, a ribbon, a stamped sentiment and then adhered to the black card and I was done!  Well, except that it's hard to write on black, so I put a white piece of paper inside to write a note on.

Below is Heathers creation on black paper using Darcy's Designs Floral Stencil Kit:

The picture didn't come out that great, but I still wanted to post this card.  I did this card by using stencils on a black piece of cardstock.  You'd never get colors like this using ink! lol  My good friend Diane gave me her set of chalks since she wasn't using them anymore, so I had to make her a card using the chalks to thank her :-) 


For this card I used the Flower Stencil Kit from Darcy's Designs, SU Stampin' pastels chalk, and PTI's Everday Classics stamp set.  In the corners I used an EK Success corner punch.  What I did was take the black card stock and I layed it on top of the white cardstock.  I lined it up to where I wanted it and softly drew pencil lines in the corners - that way I could line up the corner punch so that I'd get a perfect fit for the cardstock ;-)  For the mat behind the seniment I punched out a scallop and then trimmed it to be a mat.

Tools used: SU Stampin' Pastel Chalks, flower stencil, Everyday Classics stamp (PTI), corner punch, scallop punch

File Used:  TM00055 - Feeling Crabby. I have inked the edges of the layers to give dimension and embossed one of the background pieces. The inside of the card reads "Hope to "sea" you up and around again soon!" 

This card has been created using Tina's TM00006 - College Bound digital personal cutter file. This file was designed for a College Bound person, but I decided to leave off the rest of the title, and now I can use it to celebrate the getting of a licence to drive or the purchase of a new car!

I love how she added the ribbon that makes it look like a road.  Such a great card..

Heather used Darcy's Designs Block Stencil Kit to make this beautiful card.  Pop into Heather's blog to learn more about how she did it, using...shhhhh....eye shadow!!
