Today it's my turn to post on the Snapdragon Snippets blog: 3 and 3 Under. I've used a fab little file called Mini Fairy Light Houses by Crafty SVG Designs.

These are so easy to make but so effective. Here they are lit up with little electric tea lights.

All the card I've used is from Papermill. I've used some heated snow puff to layer onto the windows and roof. For the main part of the roof I embossed them with an embossign folder and I have used some white frantage to make it look like a light layer of snow. The little snowflakes in the window have been cut on my Explore using some white vinyl. They will look really pretty lit up on my window sill in the house.

They are really easy to make but when you buy the file from the Snapdragon Snippets store you also get a tutorial included with your cut file.

Crafty SVG Designs 3D layered christmas card - Snapdragon Snippets

Today's project is a beautiful 3D card.

The svg file is from one of our new designers on Snapdragon Snippets - Crafty SVG Designs. I tried to cut it on my Cameo but it didn't cut it well enough so I tried to cut it on my Explore and it worked perfectly. And... this is the reason why I bought an Explore it cuts intricate cuts so much better.

I've used Papermill white linen card for all of it. I added glitter acetate to the very back of the card and also some fine glitter accents to the other layers. Which you can't see very well!!

Snapdragon Snippets - Witch Fancy Shoe

And it's also my turn for a project on the Snapdragon Snippets blog.

It's a Halloween card or invitation.

I've used a Snapdragon Snippets file from the SIL store #67670 Witch Fancy Shoe Shaped Large Card.

I've used  Papermill black card as the base and some bright Halloween colours and some mauve Wow glitter embossing powder for this one.

Snapdragon Snippets - 3D Mason Jar with beets and pickles

Hi Shary here and this is my first post for Snapdragon Snippets.

It really is Autumn here in Scotland, the winds are blowing the leaves off the trees and it's wet!! So this turned my thoughts to all those people who love to preserve and pickle and I made a little mason jar with beet and pickle pods.

I've used the mason jar 3D short  replica jar with lid file #65656 and the beet and pickle mini pods file #65657



Such a fun project and it really does look like a real jar!




Here you can see the pickles inside the jar. I used acetate to make the clear windows.

There is an option to use fabric for the topper but I've used patterned paper for mine and tied it round with some twine.

There is a side label that comes with the kit which is "sweet harvest" but I've used a label to match my topper.

Jodi has a fantastic instructions on her blog Needles 'n' Knowledge giving you clear step by step instructions with photos. 

I hope I've inspired you to make this fantastic project.

See you again soon :0)

Snapdragon Snippets & Papermill Direct

Just back from a lovely day at Crammond Beach just outside Edinburgh. Gorgeous sunny day too! We actually had something that I haven't seen for a very long time too. Do you remember Oysters from the ice cream van? Yummy!

Well I think my project that I'm showing is just right for today, it's a flip flop 3D box from Snapdragon Snippets.  I cut the file on my Cameo. It's really easy to put together and looks fab when finished.

I've used some lovely summer colours from Papermill Direct for the card. The card is Ocean Blue and Lime Green. This colour card is ideal for all your summer projects.

So here is my flip flop
