Happy Bee-Day!

Hi Everyone!!

It's Noelle here, from VERY rainy Denver! I made this fantastic Standing Pop-Up Card! It was SUPER EASY! That is my kind of card! I stamped the Stampendous stamps in Chestnut Roan Chalk Ink and covered everything is Stickles! I used a strip of Killer Red Tacky Tape to put it together and tied a piece of ribbon on from my stash. It was that easy!

HAPPY SHOPPING!!!

I just wanted to let you all know we brought back the Holiday Treats Apron Recipe Album Kit for a limited time. When these are gone they are gone forever, we are working on new kits and won't be bringing this one back again.

Thanks for stopping by today!

They Say it's Your Birthday!

Hi, Lisa here!  Today I have a quick CAS birthday card to share with you using the Balloon #01 Set from Creative Cuts and More.  I only used the large balloons, saving the smaller ones for another project.  I embossed the die cut balloons using the Big Shot and Stars Cuttlebug Folder, sponged the edges and embossed area, then randomly added them to Orange base card.  Trim off the areas extending past your card stock panel, sponge the edges, add a sentiment.  Gotta love those 5 minute or less cards!

Beige Flourish Purse

Today I have a cute little Flourish purse to show you. I got this Tiffany Purse from Creative Cuts and More in an Almond Cream Bazzill Smoothies color. I stamped some flourishes around the purse to mimic flower stems and vines and then added a couple of punched butterflies to the scene. The crumpled flower is created by punching out four layers of a scallop circle, stacking them on each other, and then crumpling them up in my hand.

This is such a quick and easy project when you need a little something to give to a sister or a girlfriend who might need a little cheering up. Stick a few little pieces of chocolate inside the purse or maybe a couple tubes of a favorite lipstick for the perfect little pick-me-up!

Shaker Card Turned Mini

I really enjoy adding pictures to cards. Here, I used the Shaker Card & 3D Shaker Envelope Set.



A close up of the flower. I am hooked on these flowers cause they are so easy and cute!

The accordion mini in the shaker box (which was super simple to adhere together using the tacky tape I got from Creative Cuts & More):

And the mini:

I used the Cosmo Cricket Early Bird line and was able to find bits and pieces of cardstock that worked perfect.

Wedding Favors

Hi, Lisa here and today I have some cute Wedding Favors to share with you.  With the Wedding season quickly approaching, the Tuxedo and Dress Box die cut boxes make creating Wedding/Shower favors a breeze!

I embossed the White Dress Box with the Cuttlebug Stylized Flowers Folder, tied on a pretty Pink Satin Ribbon and added a Felt Flower and a Basic Grey Half Pearl.  To finish the Tuxedo Box, I simply added some Basic Grey Black Half Pearls and a Pink Felt Flower with a Basic Grey Half Pearl.  Creating these beautiful favors only takes a few mintues!

HAPPY EASTER

Hello! This is Chris Dickinson popping in to say hello. I am currently visiting the beautiful state of Alabama but as you know hail from Wisconsin. I am loving the warmer weather here and have had a wonderful little vacation!

This beautiful card base uses Creative Cuts and More's Scallop Cross. I embossed the Path of Life image from Our Daily Bread Designs with silver embossing powder and sponged it a bit with a plum color. I then took a Copic and colored around the cross to highlight the area a bit. The Scripture is from Stampabilities and the accessories: Gems, Purple grosgrain, Copics, Sponge, Dimensionals...

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!

Card Portfolio: Baby Gift Thank You

Hey Paper Crafters, Steph Zerbe here. 

My little sister is having her first baby any day now!!!!

. . . . . . . . . .

I crafted a whole bunch of goodies for her baby shower. This is just one little part of it and the rest will be revealed mid April!!!

. . . . . . . . . .

This is the Card Portfolio from Creative Cuts & More.

This is a  must have  for any baby shower gift. Just fill it with 8 or so handmade, matching Thank You cards and envelopes!

Add a ribbon tie to tame the BULK that just might occur if you add too many pop dots like I did.

I stapled the ribbon to the inside of the side flap.

"Thank you for your baby gift" isn't that the perfect stamp for any mommy.

Confession... I am terrible, I do not know where I got this stamp!

However, the other stamps are from Papertrey Ink!

Practical gift, right? I think so!

Hey, don't get me wrong.... I sent my sister a huge package of other practical  MUST HAVES  like... like, a bottle scrubber, a bottle drying rake, a TO GO changing pad and wipes holder, TV button guard, bath essentials, etc. You could use this Card Portfolio for many , many different reasons....  order yours in any color and texture that we offer!!!!

I LOVE this Square Bag!

Hello Everyone! It's Noelle posting today! A Quick and easy gift!

The T is for Terry the owner of Creative Cuts and More! I wanted to give her a little treat and I thought this Square Bag was the perfect holder! The T is chipboard from my stash. I painted it purple with a Paint Dauber. Then I added some Rhinestones from my stash using my Bling Tool. It is SO EASY to quickly decorate a bag or box for a little gift for a friend or a goody bag for a birthday party. I couldn't find tissue paper in my stash to match so I just grabbed some white, got out 4 Studio G heart stamps and went to town stamping all over it. SO EASY!

Thank you for looking today!

Blossom Tin project

Are you ready for Spring??? It is gorgeous here in Texas with 75 degree weather this week, ahhhhhhhh......... My thoughts always turn to flowers and butterflies and gardens when I think of spring, and I created this Blossom Tin project to usher in the gorgeous spring weather.











I used the Rectangle Mini Album Tin Set from Creative Cuts and More to start this project. I chose to use smooth cardstock because I wanted to stamp on these. The brown accordian layer (called Album on the website) is Carob Cream Bazzill Smoothies cardstock, and the little panels (called Mats on the website) are White Bazzill Smoothies cardstock. The metal tin comes with this album and they fit together beautifully. The Killer Red Tacky Tape is the only adhesive that keeps the cardstock on the metal tin. Everything else just popped right off, but the cardstock is NOT moving since I used the Killer Red Tacky Tape.

All the stamps used here are from Verve. I just pulled out all of my Verve stamps and had a blast picking and choosing which stamps to use. I laid out all of the cardstock pieces and set the stamps next to them to get a feel for how this project would flow. I love the way it turned out!

Hi Cupcake

Hi there Crafters, Steph Zerbe here.

I'm bringing back an oldie, but a goody for you today.

Here she is, the Cupcake Box Set!

The Cupcake Box Set includes 4 pieces.
Top

Acetate for top
Bottom
and an Insert
to hold your cupcake.

I wrapped the top piece with a strip of fabric tape and the bottom piece with a strip of SU! pattern paper.

 I stamped this adorable image from The Greeting Farm on cream card stock and three pattern papers. I cut pieces from each color and just glued them to the image on cream cardstock.

 First, I cut the socks from the yellow pattern paper. Then the shoes from the gray.

Too cute right? I added little pearl gems to the shoes and covered the stamped buttons on the coat with real buttons. LOVE IT!

 The cupcake.

 The insert that holds your cupcake in place.

Brilliant!

 I gave the box some push pin feet. The insert hides them perfectly!

................

You get to choose your colors for the top and bottom!

I love that!!

Get your very own Cupcake Box Set HERE!

Thanks for stopping by, leave some love!!!

Window Cards

Hi, Lisa here, and I have a really quick project to share with you today using the Window Card Die Cuts from Creative Cuts and More.  For this card I used the Window Die Cuts with a Mat.  The base card is Bazzill White Canvas, the mat layer is Bazzill Lava Canvas. 

I stamped the flower image from the Artistic Outpost Lovely Day plate in Black Archival right through the opening of the window.  Let the ink dry, then colored the image using an H20 Brush and Rose Quartz and Green Olive paints from Creative Inspirations.  The sentiment was stamped in Black Archival on the Mat, then adhered to the base card.

I love the window cards, because not only does the recipient get to enjoy the image on the outside of the card, it's on the inside too!

Snow Layout

Hopefully this is greeting you on a sunny day! I know a lot of you have had more than your fair share of snow this year. We, unfortunately, here in Oregon haven't gotten very much at all!

My son got so excited the first morning he woke up to snow. He could barely wait to go outside and play in it. You can tell by his expression he was just too excited to pose for a nice picture.

Supplies used: Doodlebug Bubble Gum Glitter, Tacky Tape Circle, Scallop Frame, Circle Scallop, Snowflake #01 Petite, My Minds Eye Paper, American Crafts Thickers, Unknown Scraps

This was my first time playing with Tacky Tape die cuts and glitter. Boy was it fun! I wanted to give a close up of the frame.

In case your wondering what the tacky tape die cuts are like and how you use them I took pictures along the way.

First, this is what it looks like.

I peeled off one side and put it in a bowl.

I then sprinkled the glitter over it and patted it down to make sure it was on there good.

I then shook the excess glitter off and peeled off the back and stuck it where I wanted it.

It was as simple as that! The Doodlebug glitter bottles don't look all that big, but my container still looks new after using this. there is a TON of glitter in them!
