Hanukkah Gift Card Box

Today I have a fun box to share with you that is the perfect size for giving a gift card.

I decorated mine for Hanukkah but you could decorate this box for any occasion!

I started with an Oval Window Box with Acetate Rectangle cut from Wildberry Pie cardstock.

I put the box together with Killer White Tacky Tape







I decorated the box with images that I stamped, colored and cut out.  
The stamps are from the "Celebrating the Festival of Lights" set from The Rubber Cafe.

I added a little shredded paper fill to the box to help hold the gift card in place.
And tied the ribbon around it to hold the box shut.  It slides right off.

Stamps:

Paper:
Oval Window Box with Acetate Rectangle

Christmas Tag Card

Today I have a fun Christmas Tag Card to share with you.

I started with a die cut Slash Pocket with Tag from Creative Cuts and More. 

I stamped this image from Mulberry Wood-Wish Upon a Star. on a white panel in black Memento Ink and colored it with Spectrum Noir Markers.

Then I trimmed the panel down to fit the front of the card. 
 

I left the tag blank so I could write on it.

I love this die cut Slash Pocket with Tag from Creative Cuts and More because it allows you to make a unique card that looks like it took a lot of time.  You can find more die cut tag cards HERE.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Coasters

Kristine here today and I am very excited to share some fun coasters I made with  
Chip Board Coasters from Creative Cuts and More, 
Stampendous Stamps, and Beacon Fast Finish Decoupage.

The Chip Board Coasters come in packages of ten.

To make these I started by sponging Ranger Old Paper Distress ink on each of the coasters.

I stamped Music Score background (Stampendous) two times with Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink on tissue paper.

 

I tore the tissue into four pieces and adhered it to the coasters with Beacon Fast Finish Decoupage. 

For this one I stamped Holly Basket (Stampendous) on tissue and colored it with Prisma Color Pencils.

Then I adhered it to the coaster with Beacon Fast Finish Decoupage.

When it was dry (which happened very quickly) I stamped the flourish from Jumbo Cling Poinsettia (Available at Michael's) on the edge with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Aged Silver Embossing Enamel.

I used Jumbo Vintage Santa  for this coaster.

I stamped santa on tissue and colored him with Prisma Pencils.  Then I adhered him to the coaster with Fast Finish Decoupage.  I stamped the banner with Memento Cottage Ivy dye ink on tissue and then added it to the coaster with Fast Finish Decoupage.

When dry I stamped Scrolled Medallion with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Shabby White Embossing Enamel.  I also used my VersaMarker to add ink to his hat and embossed with the Shabby White EE here too!.

For the third Coaster I used Jumbo Cling Poinsettia (Available at Michael's). I stamped the poinsettia on tissue paper and colored with Prisma Pencils before adhering it to the coaster with Fast Finish Decoupage.

When dry, I stamped the flourish from the Jumbo Peony Set (Stampendous) with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Aged Gold Embossing Enamel.

 For the final Coaster I used Stampendous Snow Bird.  I stamped it on tissue and colored with pencils and then adhered it to the coaster with Beacon Fast Finish Decoupage.

When dry, I sprinkled Shabby White Embossing Enamel  randomly on the edges of the coaster and heated until it melted.

These coasters are quick and easy to make and make terrific gifts!
I hope you enjoyed my project today!

Bonne Fete Slider Card

I used a die cut sliding Pop Up card from Creative Cuts and More to showcase this beautiful French Flower Cart Clear Stamp Set by Stampendous.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Markers:
 Pink: PP3-PP2-PP1
Grey: BG3-BG1
Beige: EB2-EB1
Green: CG2-CG1
Purple: HB3-HB1
Brown: TN1-TN2 

Here's a closer look at it before you slide it open.

When you pull on the ribbon the card slides open.

Here's what it looks like when it's open all the way.
I stamped the inside sentiment with VersaMark ink and embossed with
Detail White Embossing Powder.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a great rest of the week!

Creative Cuts and More is continuing to showcase terrific ideas during

Christmas in July!

Today's project is a Tall Gable Box that I decorated with Cottage Cut dies, Celebrate the Season, and Penguin with Lights.

Then I added the Cottage Cut Dies to the box.

This would be a fun way to give a gift that the receiver would LOVE!!

Celebrate the Season

The Die-Cut Divas are celebrating Christmas all month long with tons of die-cut inspiration!!!

Terry has started carrying the Cottage Cutz Dies in her store and they are awesome!

For my project today I made a card and gift box set using 

Celebrate the Season.

The card base is a 5 1/4" Square Scallop card from Creative Cuts and More that was die cut from Bazzill Red Canvas cardstock.  The words were die cut from Bazzill Green cardstock.  The Dew Drops are from The Robins Nest.

The box is Square Box #01 from Creative Cuts and More cut from Red Bazzill cardstock.

The Cottage Cutz die, Celebrate the Season, is one that will get lots of use.  

You could use it to make all your Christmas cards and it would be great on a scrapbook page full of wonderful Christmas pictures too!

Make sure you check back all month.

I'll have more great die cut projects to share with you!

Square Scallop Cards

Hi All!

It's Kristine again!

I had these two cards on my blog all ready but I wanted to share them here too since I made both of them with a Creative Cuts Card base!  This is a 5 1/4" Square Scallop Card.  I love these because with the scallop edge they all ready look cool before you even get started decorating it!

This 5 1/4" Square Scallop Card was cut out of  Ivy Bazzill Canvas Textured Cardstock.

I cut a strip of patterned paper and adhered it to the bottom backside of the card so that it shows through the scalloped edge.  I adhered Dew Drops to each of the Scallops too.

The image is a newly released image from High Hopes Stamps and I colored it with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.

Here is another card that started as a 5 1/4" Square Scallop Card.  This one was cut out of Caribbean Breeze Bazzill Smoothies card stock.  I used dew drops on this one too!  Those scallops just cry for some fun embellishment...don't you think?

The mermaid is from Stampendous Stamps and the sentiment is AmyR stamps.

I always keep a bunch of different colors of these 

 5 1/4" Square Scallop Card's

around because they are such a great jumping off point for making cards!

I hope you liked what I did with them are feeling inspired to try some!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cupcake Slider Card

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a great weekend and that you got a little stamping time.

I had lots of stamping time because Hubby was perfectly happy watching the football playoffs with wifey not in the room!

I have a fun cupcake slider card to share with you today!

The card started with a die cut Pocket with Window & Tag from Creative Cuts & More.  You can choose what color you want each of the pieces to be cut from.  Die Cuts make it so easy to make a fun slider card that will look like it took hours to make.

I created a panel from white card stock and adhered it to the back of the pocket.

Then I taped the window pocket together with Tear-able Tacky Tape.

Then I stamped the two white panels, colored them, and added the pocket to the front of my card.
