CU OK Valentine Resin Bits

I’m back with a last minute freebie with a Valentine’s theme.  I have been very busy playing with resin the past few weeks and have made some pendants and keychains for friends and family.  It is a lot of fun and I really have enjoyed finding fun things to embed in the resin.  Today’s freebie is a set of resin bits that I photographed and extracted.  Enjoy them on your Valentine’s Day layouts and kits!

CU OK Embossed Foil Overlays

Today’s freebie is a set of overlays I created by running aluminum foil through my Texture Boutique and scanning it into Photoshop.  You can create some cool looking embossed papers by playing with the blend modes!

CU OK Vintage Keys #2 plus .csh for Photoshop/PSE

I was perusing Ebay and found these cute vintage keys at a good price.  I bought the set mostly because I wanted the little heart one!  I scanned and extracted them, and then made a .csh set also.  The .zip includes the keys as scanned (rust and all) and black .pngs and a Photoshop/PSE custom shape set. 

You can also download my other key sets

Gum Box/Notecard Box Printable Template

Lately I’ve been busy playing with my new Cricut and having fun with Make the Cut software.  The other day I was admiring the packaging on my new favorite gum, Extra Dessert Delights Mint Chcolate Chip.  I thought, why not make a box like that to hold a little notepad.  I originally planned to make one for sticky-notes but I’m too cheap.  I bought 200 index cards at the dollar store and if you cut them in half they fit perfectly in my little box.  I had fun adding touches to my boxes and I think they will make cute party favors for the next birthday party.  I also thought you could decorate it with a playing cards theme and use the index cards for score cards.  Or, if you don’t want to put notecards in the box I’m sure there are several other uses for it.  Included in the .zip is a .pdf, a .svg, and a .mtc (Make-the-Cut) file.  If you don’t have an electronic cutter you will want to open and print the .pdf, then cut it with scissors and assemble.  I would love to see what you do with them!

CU OK Folded Tree Action for Photoshop and Layered Template

After playing around with real paper I thought it would be cool to have an action to make the little folded trees out of my digital ones.  This little action will create a folded tree from two background papers.  Unfortunately it will only work in Photoshop.  I tried to get it to work in PSE but just got too frustrated.  It’s been tested in CS3 and CS5, the only two versions of Photoshop I own.

For those who do not have Photoshop, I made a template of the tree so you can still make trees of your own.  However, you will probably want to rotate your papers so to make the tree look more realistic, like it was really “folded” from one piece of double-sided paper.  But I also tested it just slapping some patterned styles on the different layers and they turned out cute too!  I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday and best wishes to you for a Happy New Year!

CU OK Paper Christmas Trees

It’s Christmas Eve and I hope that all of you have a wonderful holiday!  I made these little trees after spying them on Pinterest and I’m going to make card or package decorations from them but thought I would scan them and offer them first.  The little green ones are made from paint chip cards – cute?? Anyway, enjoy your weekend!
