Bigger Things are ahead

Hello everyone!!!!

Glad to be able to share again.

In April my son and daughter-in-law had a baby girl

named Hazel. We took a trip to Portland to see our

granddaughter. In May I ended catching the flu

which I was down for almost three weeks. Once I got

better my friend Sally (my business partner also) got

down to business. We worked and worked to get this

jewelry box SVG file ready for our Lime and Bean Etsy

shop.

Well after several tweaks here and there we finally

were happy with it. So now here I am sharing with

all of you our very first big project.

Hopefully our next two big projects that we have

in the works doesn't take as long but I have a feeling

that it just might now that her girls are home for

summer break.

I also have been busy trying to get a ScanNCut

boot camp together here in Medford, OR. The

very knowledgeable Jen Blausey will be here in

August to teach us about our machines and how

to use the Sure Cuts Alot program. Jen has been

out teaching so many people and we are very lucky

to have her coming to teach us. This is the only

class that she is giving in the Northwest so I hope

that I am reaching everyone in the surrounding

states and that they don't pass up the chance. We

don't know if she will make it back this way next

year.

Well as you see I get busy and don't make it as 

often to blog as I would like.

Hope you like our jewelry box..

Until next time have a great day!!!!!

Mother's Day box card

Hello !!!!

Well now that I have resolved internet issues, design

issues, keyboard issues I have been able to add a few

more cut files to the Lime and Bean Etsy shop.

Yes I am co-owner in the shop and can use the Lime

and Bean pictures on these posts. So don't report me

I am not stealing from some other crafter or designer

Hahaha.

I know Mother's Day is around the corner and it doesn't

give much time to work on things but these are pretty

fast and easy to put together once you get them cut out.

We would have had them up sooner if not for all the

issues but we are glad that we finally were able to get

them into the shop.

We count our blessings as they do come every day

and this is one of them that we can do this and work

for our selves.

This is what the cards look like thought I would share a

picture that doesn't have the watermark. You can make

either card and we also made it that the mom does not

have to be cut out in the front panel and you can use

the cut file for other occasions. There is also a tutorial

on how to put the box cards together on our Lime and

 Bean YouTube channel.  Thank you for stopping by.

Enjoy the day!!!!

A Grandma

Hello !!!

No more being away for long periods of time.

In April I became a grandmother. My header picture

is a card I made for my granddaughter Hazel for

her very first Easter. She was born in April and of

course that meant a trip to go see her.

Here are a couple of pictures of my husband holding

her and me holding her. Hazel also got to meet her

great grandmother as we were sure to take her with

us on our trip.

I haven't stopped working on that new venture with

my friend Sally. We have added a few new items

to the Lime and Bean shop and there is more to come.

Life gets crazy but we must keep going.

Have a great day.

Father's Day Box cards

Hello everyone!!!!!

I was hoping to have this post up yesterday but got

tied up working with my design partner Sally creating

some new SVG files for our Lime and Bean Etsy

store.

Sally created this box card SVG file (pictured below)

I love all the tools that she created to go with it.

I had a different idea as to how I wanted my box card

to look so I created the one below. I rounded the

corners of the box with my corner punch and I also

cut the front flap off. I cut a few rectangle pieces by

hand, inked the edges to make it look like drawers

of a tool box. I hand cut several strips from some

foil paper which I added to the top of the rectangles.

I cut the tools from the SVG file and used them to

decorate the tool box.

Hope I sparked some creativity. It is so nice to be

able to take an SVG file and be creative with it.

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a great day!!!!!!

Fathers Day SVG card file

Hello everyone!

Glad you could stop by.

Here is a couple of Fathers Day cards that are made

using the same SVG cut file.

In the first picture is my take on the Card file that Sally

Havice created for our Lime and Bean Etsy shop.

I used a foil cardstock to cut out the word DAD and

ran it through my big shot using my Spellbinders

embossing folder to create the diamond plate look.

The cardstock with the motorcycles came from a

cardstock pack that I bought a Tuesday Morning

some time ago. Below is Sally's card. 

The file comes with the picket fence, flower pot, flowers

and stem cuts.

The nice thing is that anyone can take a cut file

and with some creativity make several cards all with

a different look and style.

Hope you like both of the cards.

Good night everyone.

MOM SVG card file

Good afternoon!!!!

I have a couple more cards that I created using the

SVG cut file that Sally Havice created for our baby

company Lime And Bean on Etsy.

This style of card has been around for some time

I remember making it for my mom for Mothers

Day. I also taught some of my kids classes how to

make them.

Sallys' design is a little less boxy in the letters.

The picture above is more a fun card. The one

below is a little more sophisticated.

I used a Sizzix embossing folder and embossed

the Mom panel then I took some of Tim Holtz distress

ink and lightly sponged it on which gave it a different

look.

Hope you like both of the cards.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great

evening

Mom Card SVG file

Hello everyone!

Well look who's back. A while back I told you all that

I was on a new venture with a friend of mine. We finally

got all of the issues taken care of . Now that we got it

some what together more files will be going into our

baby company Lime and Bean on Etsy.

 

My friend Sally the designer of our baby company

created this card SVG cut file. I really like this card

but those of you that know me know that I always

think or at least try to think out of the box and so I

created this card.

 I used the Lawn Fawn die and cut out the Happy

Mothers Day. I used the dollar tree glitter paper

and cut out the MOM letters. I found the ribbon

with the stamped image in my stash along with

the bling. So there you have it one card SVG cut

file done two different ways. So remember to be

creative and think outside the box.

Thank you for stopping by. Make sure you visit

Lime and Bean at Etsy. Have a great evening!

Pokemon Piñata

Well hello everyone!!!!

Sorry I have been MIA was a bit under the weather.

I don't want any of you to think that I have given

up on our new venture of doing SVG cut files with

my friend Sally. Along with not feeling so well

we were having problems with our files and how they

were changing in size. We have taken care of that issue.

So we have created a couple of new files that will be

going up soon over at Lime and Bean Etsy shop.

The other thing that kind of stopped us in our tracks is that

Sally's daughter has a birthday coming up this weekend and

she wanted a Piñata. Well I got to working on one and this

is what I came up with.

Wish I would have had a little more time to make this

but I am happy with how it turned out. As you can see

now I am just not a card maker. LOL

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!!!!

Talk to all of you soon.

Layered Pickup SVG file

Hello everyone!

I wanted to get this posted earlier but I have been a

little under the weather. I first started out with a cold

and now am feeling sick to my stomach but I think

that the whole stomach thing is just some stress.

So my friend Sally has been creating SVG cut files

and I have partnered up with her and are trying our

hand at designing cut files.

The blue pickup I did on a smaller scale that will work

for and A6 or A7 card the red one is a bit bigger that

can be used to decorate for a party or on a wall. Yes

I did leave out the center black circles. Like I say I am

playing with the file and trying to decide which way I

like best.

If you would like to purchase this file you will find it

on Etsy

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great

afternoon!!!!!!

 

Pick up SVG cut card

Good morning everyone!!!!

Hope to find you all doing well. Here is a card that I

made using the pick up SVG cut file created by Sally

from Lime and Bean.  I am not sure if you all know

that I have partnered up with Sally to create SVG cut

files. A lot of the cut files will be more geared to the

masculine market. We will have a cutesy file every

now and then but we are hoping to fill that void that

so many talk about that there just isn't enough masculine

cut files out there.

Lime and Bean is also trying to get a design team

together. Those who make the design team would get

free SVG files to be used to create and then blog or

post to facebook. If you or anyone you know might be

interested contact Lime and Bean by commenting on

their blog or facebook page or by e-mailing to

limeandbeansvg@gmail.com

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your day!

On a new venture

 Hello everyone!!!!

It's been a while yes I know. I am on a new journey.

I have partnered up with my friend Sally who has

graphic design knowledge and we have created a

new business. We have gone into the SVG cut files

business. I have the cutting machines and programs

along with all the paper supply needed to go into this

type of business I just am not great with computers

and designing. Our Company is called Lime and Bean

The picture above is our logo. Kind of my husbands

idea. We wanted a combination of both of us. Sally is

originally from England and my husband is always

calling her Limey. I am an American of Mexican

decent and get called bean by my husband along with

other names like Sugerblup. Hahaha. That is how our

logo became what it did. It's all in fun. When Sally and

I are together he says that the Limey and the Bean are

together again.  A biker thing about giving others a

different name than the one that was given to you at

birth. So we ran with that. Hahaha

In the picture above is one of the cutting files that Sally

created and is now in our Etsy shop. We also have a blog

and facebook page the links will be below. I work at

putting the items together, blog about them and do the

video tutorials and photos.. We are hope to get a design

team together which would help with the blog posts. To

learn more about that read about it on the Lime and Bean

facebook page or blog.

I know this is long and am truly sorry. If you made it

to the end of this post Thank you!!!!!!
