Deer Friend

 Hello All!

We are still celebrating Christmas in July and sharing all the great Christmas die cuts available from Creative Cuts and More.

Today I have a fun card to share.  

I made this with Arch Window A6 card from Creative Cuts and More.

It also uses Elegant Reindeer by Cottage Cutz. 

I got the tree from Creative Cuts and More too but I can't find it on the site right now....I'm sure Terry can help you if you want it though!

The sentiment is from AmyR stamps.

Here's another view of the card.

I hope you are enjoying all the great Christmas ideas this month.

Stop by soon for more Christmas inspiration!

Cheerful Pocket Window

I hope everyone had a great Christmas, and wishing you a healthy, happy New Year too!

Just sharing this Pocket with Window & Tag card from Creative Cuts and More. The pocket is Bazzill Maraschino Red that I dry embossed with Swiss Dots. I used Tear-able Tape on the scored tabs.
The stamp set is by Our Daily Bread designs.

Thanks for stopping!

Happy Birthday Tuck & Close Bag

Hi! I'm sharing 'just a little something' that looks like you spent hours to make, but only took a short time!

My daughter-in-law's birthday is also Christmas day...so I always try to make her card or gift bag as far away from looking "Christmas" as possible. This time I chose a Tuck and Close Bag, XL, in Bazzill Criss Cross Forget-Me-Not from Creative Cuts and More!

It's so easy...every die cut comes pre-scored, all you have to do is assemble and decorate! This particular die cut has one seam to stick together, and that was easy with White Tear-able Tape!

I love the flaps on this box!

I'll tuck a check or giftcard inside, but it's plenty big enough to hold some large items!

Thanks for stopping!

Picture Frame Fold-Up

I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving! I think I'm still full! LOL

I ordered the Picture Frame Fold-Up Card from Creative Cuts and More intending to put a picture in it, but... when I started this card, I really liked the idea of slipping a quote in! Having the extra flap of the 'frame fold-up' makes the inside totally finished! Cool!

I stamped the front with Honeycomb Background and the quote in Distress Wild Honey (so appropriate! lol). The quote and image are from Simple Things. These are both peeks....shhhh.
The Picture Frame Fold-Up is Bazzill Criss Cross Sugar Cookie, I love it with the Honeycomb! I love the textured Bazzill cardstock. Check them out here, in sooo many colors! Yum!

Here's the finished inside.

See how nice and finished it looks!

I put it on a piece of black just to make it pop!

Stop by Creative Cuts and More. There are loads of die cuts just ready for you to embellish! All come pre-cut and scored, makes it sooo easy!

By the way... I have another Picture Frame Fold-Up Card, maybe that one will have a real photo!

Thanks for stopping!

Happy Halloween Square Scallop Card

The cherries at the top are an ippity set called New Season New Wonder.

The Watermelon slice was used. The Ice-cream #4 was decorated with lots of stickles. The recipe card is a Susan Branch stamp.

The Ice-cream cone #4 is decorated with seed beads and glossy accents. The Knife - Fork - Spoon #01 Set - Large were ordered in chipboard and paper to make them sturdy enough to hang off the page. The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.

This is an acetate page, same thing on this side. The orange is by ippity New Season New Wonder. Recipe card is a Stampabilities.

Another acetate page. The Banner #1 - Small.

Life Is Short

It's Nora Anne here today and I love ice cream! It doesn't have to be summer, it can be 10 degrees out and I still want ice cream :) This card was so fun to make and so easy starting out with the pre-cut and pre-scored A2 card in Bazzill Canvas Raven Black. I love grabbing the pre-cut card bases, it cuts out time and gives your project a clean look since they are scored perfectly every time!
Have a great Sunday, why not stop by Creative Cuts and More and stock up on some of your own card bases and lots of other fun stuff!
 

A Tweet Sliding Pop-Up!

Hi! Dawn Lusk here,
sharing this fun Sliding Pop-up Card
from Creative Cuts and More.

I embossed the front, Bazzill Lakeshore (canvas) with my Victoria folder before assembling.





Precut and scored, it's easy to put together! I just put some Tear-able tape along the bottom part of the "sliding window" and attached my card mechanism (Earthstone, Neenah Smooth) and picture.





All the images are peeks at some new releases coming from Mark's Finest Papers next week.

Thanks for stopping!

Peek-A-View Box!

Hi everyone! It's Taylor here today to share a quick project. I made a fun little peek-a-view box recently, with the intention of giving it as a gift. Except, once I colored it, I decided I liked it so much, it's still sitting on my desk! The box is entirely unembellished and I really like it as is.

I love these boxes from Creative Cuts and More - they are SO versatile! They couldn't be any easier to put together, either. I started with the pre-cut and scored pieces (in Neenah White, and acetate). I stamped my image (it's a Cling Jumbo Dogwood stamp from Stampendous) and colored it with Copics. Once that was done, all that was left was to put it together! I highly recommend the Killer Tacky Tape, which is available in different widths.

I think I'll be making a lot more of these - they are prefect for hostess gifts, teacher gifts, or just to sit on my desk and look pretty, like this one is!

Die Cut Diva

Yeah! It's Officially Halloween Today!

I wanted to share with you a great way to showcase die-cuts. I found this fun tree and thought it would be perfect for Halloween. Add some Creative Cuts & More die-cuts, gauze and sparkle and you have instant boo-factor!

Here are the die-cuts I used on the tree: Pumpkin Large and Small, Spider, Witch, Black Cat, and Tombstone. I mixed up the textures by using some acetate, Bazzill {with and without texture{, tacky tape and felt.

Some ways to accent them are: emboss them with your Cuttlebug, Glimmer Mists or Shimmerz, Doodlebug Glitter and Crushed Velvet, stamping on acetate and Stickles. I am sure there are more but this is what I did on this project.
