Halloween mug using Chris Durnan's cutter file

I found these customizable mugs at the Dollar Tree a few weeks ago. As soon as Chris posted it, I loved her ghost border. I knew it would be perfect for these mugs. I cut it with my Cricut and layered it on a piece of Halloween print paper. Best of all, I can remove the ghost liner, store it in a file folder and reuse the mug for another of Chris's great creations. Thanks Chris! Be sure to check out Chris here! Shhh, she's having an anniversary sale this weekend!

Thank you card with Chris Durnan's digital cutter file

I love this digital cutter file set from Chris!

It's actually designed to be a journal of thanks and blessings, but I love that it can be cut to make a fantastic thank you card. You can find the cutter file here. I cut the detailed image from a pattern paper, inked the solid background image, and layered it all on a patterned piece of paper for the card. Super quick, yet I love how it turned out.

Thanks for looking!

 I bought this necklace a couple of weeks ago when we were in Green Bay. It's very nice, but I wanted to do something to make it more personal.

I decided to make a charm to go on the necklace. I printed a picture of us at the practice field and cropped it to 1"x1". I picked up the charm holder at Wal-Mart of all places.




For the other side, I cut Chris's "G" file from her Green Bay Packers collection and put it on a piece of yellow cardstock. I added a lobster clasp and a green bead.










I added the charm to the ring with the other charms, and now I have a personalized necklace with a photo from our trip.

You can find Chris and all her wonderful files here. And guess what I saw in her store tonight - the newest QMC! Go check it out!!

Picture frame using Chris Durnan's cutter file

I found this frame at Wal-Mart of all places. It's one of those plain wooden frames that you can paint however you like. I put a green coat on all three of the frames, then cut Chris's G jumble out of vinyl and put it on the middle frame. I painted yellow over the top, let it dry, then pulled the vinyl off. Can't wait to get back up to Wisconsin to get some more pictures to put in these frames.

You can find Chris's Packer set here. And you can find all of Chris's fantastic cutter files here.

I used Chris's digital cutter file "Love" to decorate this picture frame. You can find it here.

I printed the picture with a blurred effect in photo shop and added the cut pieces to the mat in the picture frame - which I found at the Dollar Tree. I just love how this turned out!

thank you card with Chris Durnan's file

How elegant is this thank you card? It cut like a dream. It's so pretty on it's own, all I did was layer it over a patterned piece of card stock. Instant thank you card. This file is a great value, because it comes with two other card fronts - a congrats and I miss you card front - and an underneath layer with tiny stars! You can find it here.

This project was a year in the making. I bought these fake pumpkins at Michael's last year when they went on clearance. I bought the light (the kind that goes in the Christmas village houses) after Christmas at Hobby Lobby. And the "G", well it came from Chris of course!

The "G" is from Chris's file set - Pack Collection. You can find it here. I cut the G out of cheap drawer liner material and put it on the pumpkin. Then I used a craft knife, a dremel tool, and a metal finger nail file to first trace, cut and smooth the G. I cut a hole in the bottom and put the light in. Reusable jackolantern!

layout with Chris Durnan's SVG cutting file

Hubby and I went to Cumberland Gap over the Fourth of July holiday. I saw Chris's file of letters that look like pieces of road and knew it would be perfect for a Road Trip layout. As always, you can find Chris and all her fantastic files here. Another Quarterly Membership Club is getting ready to gear up, don't miss out!

thank you card with Chris Durnan's file

Aren't Chris's files great? I made these two thank you cards with Chris's files. The Thanks is from her Thankful Titles 2 file. You can find that file here. The sun is from her Lazy Summer file which was a part of her Quarterly Membership Club. I inked the edges of the suns with an orange ink. Then I used black ink on the edges of the patterned paper. Instant Thank you Cards!

recipe card with Chris's file

I just love using Chris Durnan's files on my recipe pages. For this recipe, I used her file, Chili Pepper. You can find it here. I cut the star off the top of it. I also cut the peppers in half, down the middle and placed it on the edge of the page. I'll use the other half of the peppers on another recipe card later.

Graduation Cards with Chris Durnan's files

Here are two graduation cards I made with Chris's Graduation borders. These are two of the borders she included in May's Grab Bag. You can find the Grab Bag here. I sized each page border down and layered it on top of a graduation themed piece of paper, matted on black. I also cut a small graduation cap out of black and placed it on each corner. I searched high and low for tiny tassels, but I couldn't find what I wanted. Next time I need a graduation card, I'm going to make my own tassel out of embroidery floss, but I need to start working on them more than a week before I need them. LOLAS!
