Welcome to Lynne's Mad Hatter 60th Birthday Tea Party Blog Hop --- don't be late for this very important date and just to be sure you're not late, we're serving tea for not one day but two!! Watch out for rabbit holes, and those drink me and eat me potions as you must do them in moderation. You'll never know what you will see beyond the looking glass --- sew, sit down a spell and enjoy the talented ladies as we hop along in Wonderland. Warning, watch out for the Queen of Hearts as she is losing in the game of croquet and its off with your heads!!!!!

To be eligible by posting you must comment and post on each stop of our tea party along the way --- now remember to hold your pinky out when drinking your tea --- will that be 1 lump or 2?

If you stopped at my blog to just visit today, I don't want you to miss a single thing along the way and you need to start at the beginning which is two hares by the Cheshire cat who is grinning at you and that darn caterpiller smoking her pipe at http://slasewcraftiness.blogspot.com/!!!

For my second project and since I love to make rosettes, I made a special banner for the birthday girl.

I took the picture before I strung it because it's so hard to get the whole banner once it's strung. I used the SVG Attic file Mad Tea Party Kit for my rosettes and letters.

The adorable teapot and teacup also came from the set.

I used glitter glue for my tea pouring out from the teapot. This is a very special banner since it's heading to a very special lady for her 60th birthday and the fun thing is she can keep it up all year long because we all love tea time anytime.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed your tea and crumpets and your next stop is not Twiddledee and Twiddledum but Katie's blog.

Enjoy the rest of the hop and Hugs from Jearise in Lorby's World.

SVG Attic DT Monday

Hello Monday and welcome to my DT Monday project for SVG Attic.

I made this adorable birthday hat for my son's 6th birthday. 

 The birthday hat and rosette are from the New Year Party Collection.

 The tag is from the collection Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes.

Side view of the rosette and how I used foam Sticky Doos to make it stand out.

You can check out all the wonderful files at SVG Attic.

Wishing you a great day from Jearise in Lorby's World

SVG attic gift card holders

Aren't these little gift card holders adorable? They are so useful the whole year through and the svg files for them are available at SVG attic. I made mine with Christmas in mind but you can use these for anniversaries or birthdays also. They are cut from the file

: HOLIDAY CHEER

While the adorable little snow girl came from the file: 

BUILD A SNOWMAN

I cut each box at different settings so one is bigger than the other. The settings for the smaller box which go with the Sizzix, eClips and eSCAL are: outside cut W 5.286 inches and H 9.130 inches; inside cut W 4.325 inches and H 6.727 inches; inside tag W 4.069 and H 7.579 and the bottom, middle and stamp area are W 2.422 and H 1.211 with the rosette being cut at W 3.00 by 11.250. I used only two strips for my rosette but I would break apart the strips and add a third one next time.
Here are move views of the boxes...

 The bigger box not only holds the gift card but also the cardboard backing it is attached to.

The small box just holds the gift card.

Both files are available at SVG attic

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Jearise in Lorby's World.

Hello Kitty and Friends Blog Hop (Nov. 5th and 6th)

If you're looking for the "I'm Quackers About You" Blog Hop, please go here: Quackers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Hello Kitty Blog Hop! We have lots of FABULOUS projects and prizes for you today, so make sure you make a stop on every blog! This hop is a 2 day hop, so you have plenty of time to get through all of the blogs. If you've arrived here from Tammy's blog you're on the right track! If you're stopping by my blog today and want to start at the beginning, please visit Emily's blog

*********************************

Don't you just love Hello Kitty? I sure do and so does my almost 7 year old daughter who has bugged me to have a Hello Kitty themed birthday party December 6th. This blog hop was the perfect excuse to get me started on making her decorations instead of procrastinating till the last minute.

I got my Hello Kitty angel from Pudgy Bunny coloring pages. I converted it to an SVG file and added the embossed star instead of the flower she was holding. Disclaimer: I am allowed to use the coloring pages from Pudgy Bunny as long as I don't sell them or use the drawings for profit in any way.

The star is cut at 1 inch and embossed with Jeweled Gold by Stampendous! 

I used Studio G gold glitter glue on the wings and Martha Stewart red glitter glue for the belt and waist bow.

I loved making the flowers for Hello Kitty's hair. They are just a basic daisy cut with rolled pedals and layered. I added a few extra touches as you can see.

The rosette took some time but were well worth it. I used a Fiskers snowflake punch around the outside. I like to have my rosettes scored when I cut them out. I used a SVG file from SVGCuts entitled Vintage Rosettes and cut my plain rosettes at 9 x 11 inches.

I used paper clips to clip it together before gluing to make sure I had enough sections. I had three sections due to it's size. I used a low temp heat gun to glue it together.

Here is my hanging Hello Kitty one more time... 

 Thank you for looking today and please stop back tomorrow. Now trot on over to Ashley's Blog and remember to leave a comment at each and every blog along the way to be eligible for the grand prize drawing. Jearise in Lorby's World
