Make It Monday #47

Make It Monday #47: a la carte

I thought Make It Monday #46: Any Die into a Folded Tag looked like a good challenge. I used my new favorite PTI set and dies.... Truckin' It.

Here's the folded pieces I cut from the die. I colored three separate die cuts to go on top of the folded pieces.

 Super cute tags for Back-To-School gifts for teachers or kids or even just for a boy's gift. 

 Can you see how there are two pieces here?

Traffic Jam. lol

Happy Holidays!

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.

Wedding Invite

Just a little Graphic Design project I worked on this year for a dear cousin.
Although, they have not set a date, this is a sweet little mock-up of a unique
invitation with built-in panel for RSVP.

Modern and hot, right? I hope they pick a date soon! No pressure! :)

Papertrey November blOg hOp Challenge

I've been anxious to use my little turkey die from Papertrey Ink and it's matching stamp set, Gobble, Gobble!

Today PTI put up a challenge to make holiday tags so I did just that! Turkey Day is the perfect excuse to break out this die, stamp set, felt and label die (also PTI)!

Happy Turkey Day all!

Fall is here . . . .

 I miss you already sweet summer . . . .

Head over to Caardvarks for the latest and greatest challenge! SRM Stickers is the sponsor and they have a FABULOUS prize pack up for grabs!! You don't want to miss out!

THE CHALLENGE
Create a card based upon one of the Crew Caards on this post. Create your best, NEW scraplift card and by November 18th at Midnight, PST. Be sure to let us know which card you lifted, in your blog post!


I used one of their stickers here. Isn't it perfection? I used my old oval SU! punch. It's a perfect match!

 I mixed up a little SU! and PTI..... love it, love it all!!

The butterfly is a die from SU! along with the pattern paper. And the scallops are a die from PTI as well as the blue pattern paper and the scrumptious little button! There are two things on this card that were headed for the trash. Can you guess what they are?

The cream linen rectangle with rounded corners is left over from a big print job at my local print shop. I have a ton of these. I use them all the time!!! The other thing that was headed for the trash is the wide, cream ribbon. It was wrapped around the curtains I got at Pottery Barn. You simply can not throw away good ribbon. I covered up the PB text on the ribbon. I normally let it show. It think it's cool either way!

Thanks for stopping by!

World Card Making Day Challenge #1

This Challenge Sketch is from Creating with Christina.

Holiday Card Challenge

Countdown to World Cardmaking Day Challenge from Betsy Veldman.

I chose to re-create a holiday card from a Mother's Day card on  

page 92 in Card Creations magazine Vol. 8.

I made 3 sets of three . . . .

All of the papers here are from Crate Paper. 

Cute holiday collection, right?

The sentiment stamps are from PTI 

and the snowflake stamp is from CTMH.

This is a good head start for getting those holiday cards done on time!

Awareness Blog Hop

Welcome Blog Hoppers!!!
Are you ready to kickoff 
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.
