For That Special Friend…

Today I’m sharing this Square Window Square Box from Creative Cuts and More.

This is a 3 pc set, top, bottom, and acetate window. It comes pre-cut and scored, ready to decorate, fill and make someone happy!

Before taping together with Killer Tear-able Tape, I embossed the top with a pretty embossing folder. I added some flowers and some punched foliage. The sentiment and doily ‘frame’ are from Our Daily Bread designs that I cut by hand.

Be sure to check out Creative Cuts and More for those special gift giving needs… while you’re there, peek into the other categories too. Just be sure to have some time because you might just be a while! *wink*

No Fries… Just the Box!

Merry Christmas!
Do you have everything wrapped and ready?!

Every year I do up a little ‘something’ for our mail carrier…this year, Lisa will get a French Fry Box from Creative Cuts and More, filled with a chocolate mint cappuccino mix, a white hot chocolate mix and candy!

The Pinecone Bazzill Canvas was already cut and scored, I just used White Tear-able Tape on the tabs…easy peasy!

I thought the cute image holding a letter, from Sassy Cheryl’s was a perfect match too.

I hope you find some Creative Cuts & More under your tree!

Merry Christmas
and
Happy New Year!

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!

Tuck Top Christmas Box!

Hi, Dawn Lusk here, with a quick and easy gift box! This is the Tuck Top Cube Box from Creative Cuts and More. Everything comes cut and scored...ready for fun!

I say quick and easy because all I did before putting it together was run it through with an embossing folder... there it only ONE seam that needs tape or glue! I used White Tear-able Tape. The bottom easily folds up and "flaps" together! What more could you ask for!!

I added an embossed band, stamped and embossed in gold, and a bow and pine bough. The image set is from Our Daily Bread designs.

Put your order in today for those Christmas or any other needs!!

5 Minute Faux Leather Purse!

Hi! Dawn Lusk here... a tad late, but hey, it's my birthday, I'll blame it on getting forgetful in my "old age" LOL!!

In order to still make a post today, I had to think of something quick and easy. With the holidays coming up (or any occasion for that matter!), I went to my stash of Creative Cuts and More goodies and found this Purse A2 Card.

In just 5 minutes I was able to create this darling faux leather gift card holder!

All I did was run my Purse through my Cuttlebug with my Kassie's Brocade embossing folder, drag my Brushed Corduroy distress ink over it then, using a sponge, I added some Pumice Stone distress ink. I took my Versamark pad and "smooshed" (technical stamping term!) all over, sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set! Voila! You could add a button as a faux closure too.

Easy peasy... everything from CCM comes pre-cut and scored, giving you lots more creating time!!

Winter Sliding Pop-up

Dawn Lusk here, sharing an easy yet... did she spend all day making this... Winter card using Creative Cuts and More Sliding Pop-Up.

You can choose which way you want your card to "open", I chose sliding to the right to accommodate my images. It's so easy with everything coming pre-cut and scored!

These are a real favorite of mine...which reminds me, I need to go shopping at Creative Cuts and More and place an order! This was my last Sliding Pop-Up!!

I hope I've given you some inspiration!! (stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers)

A Thanksgiving Pop-Up!

Dawn Lusk here, sharing this cute
Standing Pop-Up Card from Creative Cuts and More.

I got to thinking, how cute would this be as place setting name tags for Thanksgiving dinner! Hmmmm...I just might have to do that!

With everything coming pre-cut and scored, it's a snap to embellish and put together! Before putting the base together with White Tear-able Tape, I embossed it with my Autumn Type embossing folder. The image is from Mark's Finest Papers, colored with Copics.

Here it is "closed", it's great because it folds flat for easy mailing!

Think how cute your table would look at your next family get-together! The Standing Pop-Up Cards come in a wide variety of colors. This particular one is Bazzill CrissCross Butterfly, Neenah Smooth White and Neenah Smooth Black.

I hope I've gotten your creative juices flowing!

Pop-Up Christmas

Hi, Dawn Lusk here, sharing this Pop-Up Christmas card.
It's not too early to start you know!

I used the Pop-Up A2 Insert with Card from Creative Cuts and More. The insert is Neenah Smooth Cream, the outside is Bazzill Canvas Wisteria. Having the pre-cut and scored cards makes designing a breeze! All I did was stamp my sentiment, add a little greenery and some color, and using White Tear-able Tape, attached it to the pop-up!

Here's the front

This is a new set being released tomorrow from Our Daily Bread designs.

Accordian Christmas

Hi! Dawn Lusk here,
sharing this
Accordian Insert with A6 Card from
Creative Cuts and More!

It's definitely not too early to start those Christmas cards, and what better way to speed up the process than with any of the pre-cut and scored cards from CC&M!

I chose the Accordian Card since I wanted to have my ornament hanging freely on the inside. The "accordian" insert is Pear Crush Bazzill Smoothies and the "card" is Perfectly Plum SU Smooth. It quickly goes together with the help of White Tear-able Tape along the edges!

I used Holly Ribbons embossing folder, running it through twice on my Grand Calibur, to get the entire insert. The ornament is a peek at a new set coming from Our Daily Bread designs, Holiday Ornaments.

Here is the front, with Christmas Door, also coming in Oct. from ODBD.

Stop by Creative Cuts and More, Terry has it jam-packed with great products!
There is also a Gallery to help you with ideas.

A Fun Little Birthday Bag!

Hi! Dawn Lusk here with a quick simple gift bag.



You know, when I'm pressed for time and need something easy, I love reaching into my stash of Creative Cuts and More. Everything comes pre-cut and scored, ready to assemble and embellish! You can't get much easier!!

I needed something to tuck a birthday check into for my son-in-law that was turning 40! I chose this Mini Bag Purse in Bazzill Beetle Black! A gift card could also fit nicely.

Goodness...40 seems young when you're past mid-50's! I colored this Sassy Cheryl's digi in some colors that I didn't think my SIL would wear! Fun colors to go with the fun image!

Using White Tear-able Tape made putting this Mini Purse Bag together even easier!

Check out CC&M,
I know you'll find all sorts of things to make your crafting easier!

A Sliding Pop-up

Hello! I've got a Sliding Pop-up Card from Creative Cuts and More to share with you today!

Here's the front or "outside" of the card.

I used Neenah Smooth White and Bazzill Canvas Leapfrog. After stamping my image on the Neenah white I sponged with Distress inks.
I love these Sliding Pop-ups as they're different from your "normal folded" card and being cut and scored already makes it a cinch to put together! Just add a little Killer White Tape!

And the inside....



I added a piece of white to the inside and left it blank to write a note to the receiver.



Be sure to check out CC and M, Terry has added lots of new items, lots of fun!!

An Antique Accordion

What? An Antique Accordion? Are you looking for it?

Here it is! It's Creative Cuts and More Antique Label (small, Neenah white) and Accordion Insert with A6 Card (Watermelon Sensation-Bazzill). I love the guess work being removed with these pre-cut and scored items!

I embossed the outer folds with Kassie's Brocade. The stamps are some new sets just released from Our Daily Bread designs. I used another die to cut out the floral image and put it over the oval on the insert. Flowersoft is on the flowers. I used dental floss on the Antique Label. Tear-able White tape was used on the insert edges.

Thanks for stopping!

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.

An Elegant Gift Card Holder

 

Dawn Lusk here, sharing a simple yet elegant way to give a gift card.
My son has another wedding coming up and I know he'll wait till the last minute and say, "MooooooooOOOm, I need a card and gift... what can I get them?"

Then like a sweet loving mother, I'll hand him this and tell him to stick a gift card inside!

I used Oval Window Box with Acetate Rectangle, (Basically Black )from Creative Cuts and More. I ran the lid through the Cuttlebug with Kassie's Brocade embossing folder before assembling. I used Killer White Tear-able Tape on the corner tabs and the acteate inside.



Coming pre-cut and scored, each piece is so easy to put together! Hey... it makes my life a lot easier!! *Grin*

The stamps are from Our Daily Bread designs new July release, Sweet William Large and Small sets.

Sending Sunshine...That's What Friends Are For

Dawn Lusk, here, sharing this Hat Card from Creative Cuts and More.
This die cut comes ready to embellish whatever your need may be! I chose to do more of an "encouragement" type, but how cute would it be for a tea party invitation!!

I stamped it with Crocheted Background (Our Daily Bread designs) then embossed with an embossing folder. The fun part was adding these cool Felt Flowers from the Flower Assortment-Felt-Dark. For filler, I added some punched foliage.

That's what friends are for! The quote from Our Daily Bread designs.

I hope I've inspired you today.
Take a moment to peruse Creative Cuts and More...
