Pillowbox Purse/Handbag

Hello everyone! Today I am posting over on the Jaded Blossom blog with these fun treat/gift boxes to share with you. I decorated these pillow boxes with my Jaded Blossom Dies to create a fun purse/handbag!

Here is a video for a closer look:

I used the Border Dies to cut out the stitched handles and adhered them with brads. The new Label Shape Dies worked perfectly for the top layering piece.

The adorable bow is from the Bow Dies and I added bling to the center. The teeny tag is from the Mini Tag Dies and the tiny sentiment is from the Java Time stamps.

Here is a list of what I used for my project:

Here is what I made:

I created a sparkly heart shaped treat bag!

This little cupid is adorable! I just love him! The sentiments are fabulous in this set as well! I colored him up with my Copics. The bag is from the Tags Bags Boxes and More Cricut Cartridge. I added the sparkly heart frame using design space. The adorable bow is from the Bow Dies.

 

The sentiment is embossed and stamped on this label die from Mini Tag Dies 2.

This pic captures the sparkle a little bit better.

Snail Mail Note Card Set

Hello my crafty friends! Are you ready for Spring? I know in some parts of the country it is still winter but here in So.California the weather is warm and we even got a few showers this week. The hills behind my house are green, the flowers are all blooming and it makes me feel like Spring is in the air.

 Today I have a note card gift set to share...

I used my Cricut Imagine More Cards cartridge to print and cut all the images and papers on the note cards and tag. I welded the stamp shape to make 4.25" square cards that will fit in an A2 envelope. The sentiment on the card is from the Craftin Desert Diva's Lil Bit Buggie stamp set. This sentiment goes perfectly with the postage stamped papers. The To and From stamps on the tag are from the CDD Tag It stamp set.

I added a prima flower and a butterfly and decorated them with pearls. The box is from the Cricut Tags. Bags. Boxes and More cartridge. I added a crinkle ribbon that I won from Karen at the Little Scrap Pieces blog. I used papers from the DCWV Old World stack. 

Here are some close ups of the sentiments and the two Craftin Desert Diva's stamp sets I used.

Spotlight Sunday for Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog!

Hello my crafty friends! I really had fun being a guest designer for the

 Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. The Design Team was welcoming and 

so sweet to me! This is my closing project and I look forward to 

participating in future challenges!

For my Exploring Cricut and More Sunday Project keep scrolling or click HERE !

 Today I have a card I made with my Imagine machine.  I used 

my Enjoy the Seasons cartridge. I've had my eye on this little 

bunny in the balloon for a longtime. I finally made a couple things with it! 

I used an Ivory A2 card and all the papers are printed with my Imagine.  

The balloon and cloud was cut at 4.25". I embellished with tiny pearls 

and bronze colored rhinestones. 

I made a matching tag as well using the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge.

 I haven't really made a lot of tags but hope to have a nice stash of them 

eventually for the future. I also used twine and a button. I cut a scalloped 

rectangle with the polka dot paper for the inside layer. 

I just love this little bitty bunny!

I think like how this turned out. The colors make it so that it 

can be for a guy or girl. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my project! I will

Mom's 75th Surprise Party Invitations

We had a 75th birthday surprise party for my mom. She was clueless. It went off without a hitch. The theme was black and white and pink. For the invites I used the pun "Don't let the cat out of the bag".

I used the Kitty from Cindy Loo and like how she turned out. She reminds me of the kitty from Pepe Le Pew. The envelope was made from Tags Bags and Boxes and More.
