Jewelry Tags and Wedding Attendants' Favor Bags

A wedding is afoot for one of my cousins. Since I can't be there (just had a baby) I wanted to make not only her invitations but some favor boxes for her attendants. At the last minute, I decided to fill the boxes for my cousin with some of my handmade earrings. I have a huge stash just waiting for a good home. To make these lovely little tags, I used some scrap papers measuring approx. 1.5 x 2.5 scored. I punched two holes near the top and stamped with Clear & Simple Stamps On the Mend set and sentiments from PTI.

 Using the small stitch image, I made a necklace by curving the clear stamp.

 Some of the jewels....

 These tags fit perfectly inside this darling dress box from Creative Cuts & More.

 I didn't actually TIE the twine around the box. I tread it through a button then wrapped it around the middle of the dress. Looping it back around the button then securing the twine by simply threading it behind all the layers.

Then I added this cool die cut dress form from Clear & Simple Stamps.

Gift Box

I have a darling little box for you today that I made for a friend. This fabulous little box is from Creative Cuts & More and the stamps are from Waltzingmouse Stamps.

Perfect Pair 2-day Blog Hop

Welcome to DAY 2 of the  
Perfect Pair 2-day Blog Hop.

Creative Cuts & More has paired up with Clear & Simple Stamps to bring you two days of amazing inspiration and prizes! We challenged both design teams to pair up die cuts from Creative Cuts & More and stamp sets from Clear & Simple Stamps. A match made in Heaven!

The Prizes

There are 2 prizes up for grabs today. Two lucky people will win either a $25 Gift Certificate from Clear & Simple Stamps or a $25 Gift Certificate from Creative Cuts & More. Your chances to win end Friday, 11:59pm EST. Winner will be announced on Saturday. Thanks for stopping by and good luck! 

I have two projects for you today. The first project is the Circle Window A2 Card with Mat.

The stamp set I used is one of my favorites from Clear & Simple Stamps, ABC123.

 I ordered this Apple #01 small in chipboard, as well as, red and green cardstock to make this delicious, layered embellishment. I think I used every stamp in this set!!

I stamped the apple on yellow paper then colored it in a bit with Copics. The house image is from another Clear & Simple Stamps set, Home. Isn't it just darling?

The more you stamp on the inside the less you have to write. Am I right? ;) I think the staples are a nice touch.

Now on to the second project . . . .

Every teacher deserves not only a beautiful handmade card but a gift box to match. This is the Apple Window Square Box #01 from Creative Cuts & More.

I made the banner with three Triangle #01 petites. I love the look of the graphic crayon stamp in the background and the pop of yellow on top.

I stamped the alphabet repeatedly from the ABC123 set and distressed the edges of the box with ink and a sponge. Even the button is from Clear & Simple Stamps!

Inside is a special keepsake for teacher. It's a magnet made from the same chipboard apple I used on the card. Below you can see the magnet in action.

These die cuts and stamps are truly the Perfect Pair!! Leave some love for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate!!

Your next stop is Jen Tapler! 

Thanks for stopping by and good luck!

Awareness Blog Hop

Creative Cuts & More's
September Awareness Blog Hop?!!

Creative Cuts & More challenged the Design Team to

bring awareness to our readers through our crafts....

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?

First, I want to showcase the Awareness Window Card from Creative Cuts & More. It is cut from Curious Metallic Cardstock: Cryogen White. This cardstock has a shimmering surface and a luminescent sheen of metal. It is so subtle, yet magical, in this white color.

You can even stamp on it. I used Staz-on black ink. The stamp is from Midnight Feast from Waltzingmouse stamps. I thought it wouldn't hurt to tell a bit of truth about how most people feel about cancer. Cancer BITES!

Here's a sweet, shimmering 2-piece gift set filled with Smarties candies.

The inside of the card is made up of a few scrap papers from Papertrey Ink. I stitched the pattern paper for a nice finished look. Really, I just am enjoying using my sewing machine!
Until the bobbin breaks.... I won't know what to do after that! ;)

Now for the Awareness Window Square Box...

You'd think this box was filled with buttons. Oh no, not from me, I am not giving up any buttons, I don't care how bad it bites. ;)

Here is how I did it... I cut some paper to fit inside the lid of the box (4.25 x 4.25) and ran it though my Xyron adding adhesive to one side. I then arranged the buttons UPSIDE DOWN in the shape of the ribbon and picked them up using the adhesive sheet I just made. Then, I simply attached it to the inside of the lid (you know, the whole sheet was sticky, too easy!!). Cool right?

Like the song goes . . .  Love STINKS! Maybe someone will make a song out of this Cancer BITES phrase. Cancer BITES, so bite back!   What do you think?    Is it a hit?    Maybe a one hit wonder, at least?!

I also cut a square of paper to fit the bottom of the box and stitched along the edges before adhering it to the bottom of the box.

Just a little ribbon along the box's edge and a simple bow, too easy right!?
You can get the awareness ribbon window shape in an album cover as well.
Check it out, HERE.

Your next stop along the hop is Chrissy.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to leave some love along the way!!
