Valentine Cake Box Treat...

Here's a pretty Valentine Cake Box Treat I created using the Cake Box die cut from Creative Cuts & More. These little cake boxes can be made so quickly and decorated for so many occasions. My image is from Fred, She Said and my sentiment is a dollar stamp from JoAnn's.

Ladybug Love...

Hi all, it's Darsie and I created a darling Valentine card using the Heart Window A7 Scallop Card - Vertical! Oh my gosh, the open heart can be decorated so many ways! You could put an image on the inside of the card to peek out from the opening, put a dangling cupid charm in the center and more! Hop over to the store and just see all the fabulous dies available for Valentine's Day or any occasion.

Polar Bear Matchbox...

Hi, it's Darsie posting today, and there are only 2 days left til Christmas! I have finished up all my wrapping, and crafting, but just have to show you this darling candy box I created using the Match Box #1 - Large Die Cut! It is so easy to put together and decorate! Once you're done decorating, add some patterned paper to any flavor of Hershey's Nuggets and tuck them inside the matchbox. A cute gift to leave on a co-worker's desk, for a teacher or in a stocking!

To all my friends and family and to the fabulous Die Cut Diva Design Girls, I wish each and everyone of you the Most Joyous Christmas, and a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Designer Paper: Tis the Season by Die Cuts with a View

Peace on Earth Sleigh

Hello, everyone, it's Darsie! I have created an elegant centerpiece for my Christmas table using the 3D Sleigh die cut! This was surprisingly easy to make using glitter paper, and some sparkly greenery and poinsettias for accents! I just love how you can order whatever color paper you want for the die cut, then all you have to do is tape it together with Killer White Tearable Tacky Tape! Then the sky is the limit in decorations for it!

I had my card party play with the sleighs and they created some of the most beautiful sleighs I've seen! I even had one lady decorate hers with gumdrops and candy canes!! Once you're done decorating, you can fill this little sleigh with just about anything: cookies, candies, small packages or greenery like I did!!

Wishing you a Happy Crafting Season! ~ Darsie

Waterfall Card!

Hi, it's Darsie! I created this Waterfall card using an exclusive diecut from Creative Cuts and More. When you pull the tab on the card, you'll see more birds! My bird images are from Fred, She Said! I just love making Waterfall cards and Creative Cuts has made it so easy! No more measuring, cutting, or trying to figure out the mechanism! Nothing like an interactive card!!

I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter and lots of good food! Be Thankful for all you have as you never know when it will go away!!! 

 

 

 

Moose Sighting...

Hi, it's Darsie, with a fun card! I just got a bunch of Christmas die cuts from Creative Cuts & More, and created this delightful holiday scene! My base card is the Arch Window A6 Card which I ran through a Cuttlebug folder for my decorated window. I then brushed a black ink pad over the embossed areas for highlights. Next, I took a piece of  acetate and painted my "frosted windows", with white acrylic paint, added snowflakes, then adhered it to the back of the window. My Christmas Tree #04 Large is made of Alpine Velvet Paper which I put through the "Swirls" embossing folder, and my Moose - Small is cut out of Midnight Velvet Paper. Most all of Creative Cuts Die Cuts can be ordered in the Velvet paper, or the hundreds of other varieties of paper they carry.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a pine tree from Stampin' Up in Pine and Gray ink, then brushed the bottom portion with Brilliance Moonlight White for my snow. I added some presents, a chipboard sentiment, K&Company stickers, a sparkly red star, and a velvet bow to finish the scene. 

 

 

 

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween, everyone! It's Darsie here, and I just love, love, love Halloween! There are so many fun ways to create with diecuts, and today I chose to make spooky candy boxes using the Coffin box diecut!

For this coffin candy box, I cut an oval out of the coffin lid, then embossed it with an embossing folder from Quickutz. I swiped Brilliance White ink over the entire coffin lid and base to give it that "aged stone" look. I accented the coffin with some sparkly red and black tulle, and an adorable Dracula image by Repeat Impressions which I glued to lollipops! I added a few rhinestone bats, and I was finished!

My next candy box was more on the simple side! I added the Small Spider diecut, which I had embossed with a Swiss Dots Folder. I also embossed the lid, same as above, and aged it with the Brilliance White ink. My spider web is from a Martha Stewart punch. I added a few rhinestones for eyes on the spider, a sticker for the sentiment, a big fluffy tulle bow and I was done!

Warm Wishes...

Hi everyone! My project today uses the  Milk Carton with Snowflake #4 Large and Snowflake #4 Small. I had a lot of fun creating this treat box for a friend! Using the color story for the Play Date Cafe Challenge (read below for Lisa's description), I colored my bear with Copic Markers, and luckily found designer paper with both blues incorporated in it to use!

Lisa said "Creative Cuts & More is the Sponsor for this weeks Play Date Cafe Challenge. Grab your stamps and play along on the PDCC Blog***.  The winner of this weeks Play Date Cafe Challenge will receive this FAB Holiday Treats Apron Kit, courtesy of Creative Cuts & More!" 

Happy Crafting! ~ Darsie
