Heart Flower favor box

This romantic little box would be a wonderful favor to give away at a bridal shower, a wedding rehearsal, or an anniversary party. The soft blue flower is something I created by using the mini heart die cuts from Creative Cuts and More. I simply arranged and stacked them until I was satisfied with the floral shape. Then I punched out some small circles and glued them together. I added some gorgeous gold glitter to the circles and adhered that to the middle of my flower.

I highly recommend using the 1/4" Killer Red Tacky Tape to assemble this box and its matching lid. I've tried using ATG tape (tape gun) and the edges just pop open after a few minutes. I assembled this box back in June and it is still stuck together with no signs of coming apart.

Just a little reminder - join us for our special joint blog hop featuring CC&M die cuts and Clear and Simple Stamps on September 21 and 22. This will be an awesome display of die cuts and stamps that you don't want to miss!

Diva Dresses

These dresses are from one of the newer dies from Creative Cuts & More, the Dress Box die. It's so easy, and very versatile!

My wedding dress was very easy to make. It was cut from Bazzill Smoothies Coconut Swirl. The only embellishments used on the project are Prima Marketing's new Say it in Studs self-adhesive embellishments. The studs were arranged in an ornate frame pattern. I used my sharp Tonic snips to cut only certain parts of the frame to create the bodice, waist, and hem adornments.

Because these studs are self-adhesive, they were very easy to adhere. They're nice quality, too, and the segments held together very nicely.


My other sample was also very easy to put together. This next dress is cut from BasicGrey patterned cardstock from the Two Scoops collection and tied with a thin pink grosgrain ribbon. I made this to show that this die is not just for weddings!
