Welp, dang it. That coronavirus has got us all topsy turvy. While I'm hibernating, I might as well use up my stash to make something purty. If you're stuck at home too, come check out the newCupcake Inspirations challenge - we want you to add some butterflies to your projects!
I'm combining a cowboy boot A7 card-shaped Silhouette cut file with the new Club ScrapWestern kit for a mighty fine pair of boots! (All supplies will be listed at the end of this post.)
Stickin' with the theme, I decided to add a little feminine touch to my boots!
This was one of the easiest cards that I have put together in a long time! I downloaded the file, opened it in the Silhouette Studio program, arranged the pieces on the workspace according to the color of card stock that I would use, and fed the cutting mat into the machine.
Easy as pie!
Now for the fun part! After I arranged all the pieces, I added some flair! I started off inking the edges of the cardstock for a distressed look.
Club Scrap's Earth ink did a nice job of adding a little pop but just couldn't leave this piece bare, especially with the beautiful Western stamp designs. I started out thinking I would apply a tone-on-tone effect with Versamark ink, but I just had to kick it up a notch!
I had my neglected stash of Perfect Pearls still out on my craft table, so I gave it a lick and promise and dusted over the stamped areas with the color Blue Smoke.
Yeehaw! What a good lookin' card!
On a serious note, I hope you and your families are well and that you all stay that way. Take care, spend time at home with your families, clean the house, play in the yard, get crafty if you're bored, and WASH YOUR HANDS!
Happy trails to you!

I don't know wine, but I do know what tastes good. My family owns an Italian restaurant and I have been introduced to the "good stuff". I've sampled numerous varieties over the last fifteen years and I've narrowed down my favorite grapes to pinot noir and pinot grigio. My oldest son is the wine aficionado in our family. If he recommends it or pairs it with food you can guarantee your taste buds will be happy. However, I drink wine so that I can do something crafty with the corks!
Today’s project is part of the monthly YouTube hop for the TMC4u Inspiration team and we have teamed up with the Crafter's Castle Design Team. TMC4u is the new sponsor for the monthly challenges on the Crafters Castle Challenge blog and each team will create projects showcasing a vintage digital kit from TMC4u. The featured kit will be the prize for the winner of the challenge and this month’s kit is the Passport to Italy!
I found a cut file by Jamie Lane Designs for this 3D wine bottle gift box in the Silhouette Design Store and thought it paired well with the Italian theme of the kit. (A full list of available supplies is listed at the end of this post.) If you download as an SVG file, you can cut the images with other die cutting machines like the Cricut and Brother ScanNcut. The designer has also included a link to her blog where she posted detailed photos and step-by-step written instructions on how to put the pieces together. It’s super easy to assemble!

I "print and cut" the the panels of the box using digital backgrounds and elements from the Passport to Italy kit that I resized using Photoshop Elements.
I love how easy it is to be creative using digital designs!
