Just because card using Chris Durnan's cutter file

What a cute little bird! I cut Chris's Silly Bird file, put some pen stitching around his beak and wings, added a little glitter glue and he was ready to go. I pop-dotted the stamped phrase and tied a piece of blue ribbon and voila! an instant "just because" card. You can find Chris's Silly Bird file here.

Thinking of You card using Chris Durnan's cutter file

How cute is this owl?! This is part of a cutter file that was included in Chris Durnan's Quarterly Membership Club. I cut him out, pin-stitched and chalked the edges. I layered him on a torn and inked piece of patterned paper. I stamped the Thinkin' of you! sentiment on a torn, inked piece of cardstock and pop-dotted it on the card. Be sure to check out all of Chris's great files here!

birthday card using Chris Durnan's cutter file.

I made this birthday card using Chris's cutter file - Fancy Journaling Frames. You can find it here. I really need to get a new camera, the one on my cell phone doesn't do this card justice. I cut the background from a lightly patterned yellow paper, then cut the journal block from patterned green, inked the edges with brown and layered it all on a solid sheet of green with torn and inked edges.

Two birthday cards using Chris Durnan's cutter file

 I used Chris's Never Let Age Tame You file (here) to make these two birthday cards. The first one I cut only the animal print frame and the greeting. I put two pieces of ribbon around the greeting to complete.

The second card I used the entire file. I love the effect of the frame around the Never Let Age Tame You collage. I put the greeting inside the card.

The animal print frame would also be great around a picture of your favorite animal or trip to the zoo.

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.

 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.
