Anything Goes at Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges

Oh La La! It's a day to share some love!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today I am also sharing the new challenge at Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges. I hope you will join us this week with any type of project you create. It can be a card, a layout, 3D project, birthday themed, anything! The possibilities are endless!

This Week's Challenge...

~ Anything Goes ~

Here is my Design Team project...

I started off making a half dozen of these tags from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon. I had some Valentine colored M&Ms and wanted to make a few different ways to share them.

I started with a candy tube ( I used the color challenge from last week's Color Throwdown.).

I cut the tag on my Cameo, stamped the Jaded Blossom sentiment, and then attached with a piece of ribbon.

Then I put some in a paint can (Michaels).

Lastly, I just used a clear bag because it doesn't really matter how you get the treat...M&Ms are still yummy any way you receive them!

Other Challenges:

Tuesday Throwdown ~ Sweets for my Sweets

Through the Craft Room Door ~ Anything Goes

Always Fun Challenges ~ Valentines

Valentine's Day at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Diva Fans!

Welcome back to Carson's Creations and thanks for checking out my new projects!

Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Valentine's Day ~

Here is my Design Team project...

Looking for a sweet treat for your favorite Valentine. How about some Tootsie pops? I found this heart shaped glass jar at Dollar Tree along with the bundle of cherry flavored pops. I just had to add a tag (the red sheer ribbon was even included).

The tag is by Jaded Blossom and I cut it with my Cuttlebug. The scalloped circle, sheep stamp, and cute sentiment are by My Favorite Things. I heat embossed the sheep with ebony embossing powder which prevents the markers from bleeding. I used a Spectrum Noir red for the heart and a Chamelon brown for the hooves and ear.

Other Challenges:

The Paper Players ~ red, kraft, and white

DL.Art ~ Pink or Red

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie ~ red/white heart photo

Tic Tac Toe Challenge ~ (tag, emboss, ribbon)

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Valentine's Day" challenge.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Thinking of You with Avery Elle Flowers

Hello Everyone and Happy Sunday!

Thanks for being here today. I have been busy in the craft room since early this morning. I saved a few sketches I thought would be fun and then I wrote the challenges for the past week to see what I might be able to join.

Today's Project...

I decided to join Tuesday Morning Sketches and I made not one, but two cards. I noticed I have been using quite a bit of pink the last two weeks, so I switched up the color palette to blues, yellows and then orange.

This week's sketch #439 from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

I used Avery Elle's Petals and Stem stamp set and My Favorite Things Oval Scallop Edge Frame. The inks are Tim Holtz oxide inks.

For the second card I rotated the sketch and changed the colors to yellow and orange.

I used the same stamp set, but adhered orange gems around the scallop to add a little pizazz.

Other Challenges:

Jo's Scrap Shack ~ Anything Goes

Glad you stopped by! This is going to be a busy and creative week with Valentines. Hope you will come again!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Valentine Treats at Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Welcome back to Carson's Creations and thanks for visiting!

Today I am sharing the new challenge at Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges. I hope you will join us this week and share some love.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Valentine Cards or Treats ~

Here is my Design Team project...

Making more Valentine treats for the class. This file is from SVG Cutting Files and is part of the trio set I made a couple weeks ago (see here).

I used Recollection and Pebbles paper from my stash, but love all the pinks. You could use this for any other holiday by excluding the heart shape and changing the color theme. Students ALWAYS need pencils!
