My Little Shoebox

Some Vintage Shop and Oh, Deer! Projects for you!

Hello My Little Shoebox fans! Today it's my turn to show you what I made with My Little Shoebox' awesome collections! As I wasn't able to choose between my 2 favorite collections: Vintage Shop and Oh, Deer! I decided to create something with both of them! 

First I made this "Vintage Shop" layout about my youngest who just came back from the hairdressers: 

I don't know if you can see it very well, but he has blue hairgel in his hair and was feeling very "tough"! Although "tough" and Vintage Shop don't seem a likely combination I decided to go for it anyway and am quite happy with the result! 

Here are a few close-ups:

Supplies: My Little Shoebox: Vintage Shop collection (patterned papers, 3D Roll-Up Flowers and Accents, Cardstock Stickers), Muse Cardstock Alphabet Stickers, Mini Alphabet Stickers, Unity Stamp & My Little Shoebox: Owl love You Always. Other supplies: Cardstock: Bazzill Basics; Heart Jewel: Doodlebug Design; Stamps: Studio Calico, Stampers Anonymous; Stamping Ink: Memento; Pen: K&Company; Doily and Staples: misc. Tools: Silouette Cameo. 

And then on to my Oh, Deer! projects: two cards. Here's a "Hi" card:

and also a "Bye" card:

I'm so in love with the little deer! I just had to use them! 

Supplies: My Little Shoebox: Oh, Deer! (Patterned Paper, 3D Roll-Up Flowers and Accents, Cardstock Stickers), Muse Cardstock Alphabet Stickers, Mini Alphabet Stickers. Other supplies: Cardstock: Bazzill Basics; Pen: Stabilo; Doily: misc.  

Although this is not quite my last post on MLS' blog, as at the end of the month I have a fun tutorial up, I do want to seize this opportunity to thank Helen from the bottom of my heart for this fabulous year on the design team. I've loved every minute creating with her awesome collections and am very sad to have to say goodbye. I'm wishing her loads of good luck and success with her new bags and accessories collections! I'm sure they will be a big hit as they are truly wonderful! Also many thanks to Shemaine and Pattie for their continuing and enthusiastic support! 

Thank you so much for visiting My Little Shoebox' blog today! Hope to see you back soon!

Hugs, Monique

Teen Adventures

Hello, My Little Shoebox friends! I'm happy to share 2 of my latest MLS layouts.  Today's projects are all about teen adventures.

My sons love hunting and four wheeling.  It's difficult to convince them to pose for pics these days, but they were all smiles on this outdoor adventure.  I combined fabulous products from these MLS collections: Oh, Deer and Vintage Shop. Also included: Want2Scrap chipboard, Tsukinko Ink, Beacon Adhesives.

What is more wonderful than a school dance?  The MLS collection "Cherry Delight" was perfect to showcase this special event.  Also included: Want2Scrap bling, Tattered Angels glimmer mist, Tsukineko ink, Beacon Adhesives.

A huge thank you to Helen Chu and My Little Shoebox for allowing me to serve on the design team for the past 2 years.  It has been a wonderful experience.  I LOVE MLS paper products and have enjoyed every moment of creating with this amazing team!

Layout and Mini Album Ideas with Oh, Deer!

Hello! Liz here today to share with you a few layouts and a mini album using our Oh, Deer! collection.

This collection works great with all of our fall family pictures.

It seems like there always has to be one kid in my family who does not cooperate during family pictures. This time it was my youngest son who did not want to take pictures and he wouldn't smile! I finally got a picture of his forced smile. LOL!

And finally, the My Little Shoebox team and I were lucky enough to receive mini albums from Punky Sprouts. These albums are so fun and unique, I really enjoyed creating with them.

Products used: My Little Shoebox's Oh, Deer! collection; Creekside Trail, A Walk in The Woods, Knock on Wood, Happy Campers, Cardstock Stickers, Woodgrain Muse Alphabet Stickers, Firecracker Muse Alphabet Stickers, Chocolate Cake Mini Alphabet Stickers, 3D Roll-Up Flower and Accent sheet.

Thanks for stopping by today!

An "Oh, Deer!" Punky Sprouts mini album!

Hello My Little Shoebox Friends! 

During the hectic month of December I had so much fun "unwinding" with this fun mini album from Punky Sprouts and MLS' Oh, Deer! collection! I find nothing more relaxing than creating a mini album.... every day I do just one page, no hurry, just having fun with this awesome collection!

I made this album about a day out with my friends. Let me show you:

And the inside pages:

And this is the Punky Sprouts album I used: "Soul Sprout"

I really loved this album; no two pages are the same even the texture of a lot of pages is different! And although the Oh, Deer! collection is all about nature and woods and little animals living in those woods it worked perfectly with my city-photos!

Dear Friend card set *Oh Deer! collection*

Hi friends. Grace here. Hope you all had a great Christmas. Now it's time to unwind. Looking for something fun to do today? How about make a card set for a special friend. 

Hope this set inspires you on your next card set....

Deer Friend card set

One of the things I've been doing a lot of lately with my card making is to make card sets. I've had friends come up to me and had been asking to buy my cards so sometimes I put together coordinated sets that I give them as a gift. This way they have a bunch to use and they're all coordinated. 

I think the best part of using a collection in making your card sets is that the prints and accents all match together. No need to rummage through a bunch of supplies to create these babies! 

Here are some more close-ups of my cards....

Supplies Used:

Cardstock- Lavender, WorldWin; Pattern papers: (50051, Creekside Trail; 50052 A Walk in the Woods; 50053 Knock on Wood; 50054 Happy Campers) Oh, Deer! My Little Shoebox; (stripe) Bella Blvd; Stickers- 50056 Cardstock Sticker, Oh Dear! My Little Shoebox; Twine- The Twinery; Sentiment rubons- Friendship, It Takes Two; Flowers- Prima, Petaloo; Button- Favorite Findings; Scallop Scissor- Provo Craft; Photo Corners- Recollections; Adhesives- Glue dot, Creative Memories, Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L;

I wish you all a Happy New Year. See you next year!

Mixing It Up with Oh Deer!

Hello, MLS friends! It's Robyn with you today to share my projects with the Oh Deer! collection.

Each year, we spend Thanksgiving at a cabin on the lake, and I always take some photos of the girls. It's interesting to see how they change from year to year. I love this photo I snapped of my youngest daughter, and it worked perfectly with the papers.

I mixed a lot of different edges on this layout, including the die-cut border strip and the woodgrain tag sticker. I also used an edge punch with pink cardstock to add another detail to the page.

A couple of strands of twine, looped loosely through the tag, created yet another shape. I used a tiny glue dot behind each loop to hold them in place.

For my next project, I decided to alter a journal I purchased from the clearance bin at Staples a while back. It had a really bright green cover, which was easy enough to cover up with the Oh Deer! papers and stickers.

I used washi to cover the binding and finished it with a paper clip and seam binding trim.

Oh, and that polka dot scalloped circle in the background? It's one of the roll-up flowers from the die-cut sheet. (You don't ALWAYS have to roll them up!)

Hope you're having a fabulous fall!

Fall Mini and some Oh Deer Cards

Hi Jenifer here with you today to share some fun cute projects with you using the Oh Deer collection.  First up is this fun Fall Mini.

front and back covers

pages 1-3

pages 4-6

I used every single piece of paper and scraps in this mini, one fun thing I did was use copper embossing powder around all the edges so it looks like it is soddered together.

Next up are a couple cards I made using the rest of my papers and cardstock stickers.

How cute is this little deer?  I could use them on everything.

This one is a super quick card to just let someone know you are thinking of them.

I hope you have enjoyed my projects today, make sure you come back tomorrow for even more inspiration.

Tuesday Tutorial - Box o' Tags

 

Hello, MLS Fans! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! It's my turn to share a tutorial, and I've used the Oh Deer! collection to create a fun project that will be perfect for gift-giving during the holidays: a set of gift tags inspired by Fall!

 

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the Wood Tag shape (available in the Silhouette Online Store) in two different sizes. You'll be using the Print and Cut feature on the Silhouette, so you'll need to make sure you turn on the registration marks setting before you print the design onto cardstock.

I cut two large tags (sized at 4.25" on the long side) to go on the outside of the box, and I cut ten smaller tags (sized at 3.75" on the long side) to go inside. You can certainly cut more or less, but ten is a good number to fill up the box.

Once you have your tags cut, it's time to make the box. Start by cutting a sheet of cardstock (I used the Linen/Carnation from My Little Shoebox) to 8 1/2" x 9".

Next, score each side at 3". In other words, score one side at 3", then turn the paper and score at 3" and turn again until you have four score lines.

Turn your paper over and find the 9" long side. Cut along the score lines toward the middle as shown here.

Then fold in your sides to create the box.

Attach the large tags to the front and back of the box. I used double-sided tape.

So your box will look like this:

Cut a strip of the leftover cardstock to 3/4" wide by 7 1/2" long to create a handle for your box. Attach each end to the back of each tag where it meets the box. I added a brad to cover the hole on each side, but you could use a button or whatever you have handy.

Next, it's time to decorate! I used cardstock stickers and additional Silhouette cuts to match the collection. I also used a to/from stamp on each tag, but you could easily handwrite "to" and "from" if you don't have a stamp handy.

I also tied a strand of ribbon or trim through each tag so they can be easily attached to a gift.

And here is my finished box with all the tags inside:

There are plenty of possibilities for creating all kinds of gift tags. Try mixing collections or using mini alphabet stickers for a different look!

Happy creating!

'Oh Deer' Creativity!

Hello MLS Friends

Today I am here to share a few of my projects that I have made with the 'Oh Deer' collection.  This is just such a fun set to create with especially at this time of year when all the leaves are changing colours (well unless you are in your spring months!)

First I would like to share with you a little notice board I altered.  

Product Used :

Oh Deer! 12 x 12 papers Creekside Trail, A Walk In The Woods, Happy Campers, Knock On Wood

Oh Deer! 3D roll up Flowers and Accents, Cardstock Stickers, Trim Pack - Morning Mist

Muse Cardstock Alphabet Stickers - Woodgrain

Xcut leaf punch

It started out life as a plain cork board which I covered with the papers.  The patterned paper with the deers on is a fun background for when you haven't got the board filled with notes!!  The 'Oh Deer' trims were perfect for the criss cross and the 3D roll up flowers embellished the joins.  

Around the edge of the notice board I used some punched out leaves which added some texture to the board.  Of course I couldn't resist those cute deers from the cardstock sticker sheet!!  The muse alphabet stickers are perfect for adding a name to the board too.

Next here are a couple of cards using this range

Products Used :

Oh Deer! 12 x 12 papers Creekside Trail, A Walk In The Woods, Happy Campers, 

Oh Deer! 3D roll up Flowers and Accents, Cardstock Stickers, Trim Pack - Morning Mist

Xcut Doiley Border Punch

This is a centre stepper card.  I love how you can create 3D scenes with this style of card.

Unity Stamp Co - MLS You Make Me Mushy

This card uses the co branded stamps from Unity, 'you make me mushy' and were coloured in using the Kuretake kurecolors.  I have a few more cards made using this stamp over on my blog.
