More Wedding Cookies for the Newlyweds

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back to Carson's Creations!

Today I am sharing some yummy wedding treats from If You Give a Crafter a Cookie. It is week two of the challenge and you just need to create a project using the photo as inspiration. There are two different prizes available this week...one from Elisabeth Bell and another from The Cutting Cafe. Last week I used a file provided by Regina at The Cutting Cafe (click here to see).

Here is my Design Team project...

I have seen numerous bride and groom heart projects, so I searched for quite some time for a svg file but was unsuccessful. I decided to create my own.

I used the following sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches...

I used my Cameo to cut the scallop and regular hearts. I layered and trimmed the pieces to create the bride and groom outfits. I chose cream, pink, and kraft to match the colors of the cookies in the photo. Small pearls were added as buttons. The stamped sentiment on the center pink heart is by My Craft Spot.

I used a MFT stitched rectangle die for the bottom layer. I ran the two cream pieces of card stock through the Cuttlebug in a Swirl embossing folder. The "Congratulations" stamped sentiment is by JustRite stamps.

Other Challenges:
Crafty Creations ~ Anything Goes
Alphabet Challenge ~ H for Hearts
Everybody Art Ch ~ Lace or Pearls
Through the Craft Room Door ~ Anything Goes
Crafting From the Heart ~ Anything Goes

Hope you will join us at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie this week for our "Photo Inspiration" challenge. The other design team members all interpreted the picture differently, so go check it out!

Let's Go to a Wedding and Eat Cookies

Happy Thursday to Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by to see what I am sharing today.

It's a good day for a summer wedding and while there I think we should eat some cookies! If You Give a Crafter a Cookie has a new challenge and here is the photo inspiration...

Here is my Design Team project...

The team was offered two files from The Cutting Cafe and I chose this one...wedding word shaped card. Thank you Regina for giving us the opportunity to showcase your products. I cut the svg file on my Cameo.

I chose the colors of the cookies: kraft, cream, and pink. I made two cards and alternated the base and letters. The pink flowers are Jolee stickers and pink pearls are lined in threes. 

The stamped sentiment is the oldie I used the other day by Inkadinkadoo. It was still sitting on my desk, so I just grabbed it. It worked because it was just the right size for the space since I didn't want to cover up the lettering.

The opposite colors.

Thank you again Regina from The Cutting Cafe for allowing us to use your files.

Hope you will join us at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie this week for our "Photo Inspiration" challenge. The other design team members all interpreted the picture differently, so go check it out!

It's Your Wedding Day at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back to Carson's Creations and thanks for ALL the kind words in regards to the camera. I was thinking about asking for a new one for my birthday or Christmas, but I am going to wait and see what happens. Especially after going to the dentist this morning and unexpectedly being told I need a crown (that is better than a root canal). Good thing we have dental insurance, which will cover some of it (of course, that cuts into my crafty spending ~ bummer).

 The new challenge at Die Cuttin' Diva starts today.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Wedding or Anniversary ~

Here is my Design Team project...

This is the photo I was trying to get a better picture of because I wanted to show the bright white and vellum with the silver. Just try to use your imagination!  I cut the My Favorite Things Blueprints 20 and the Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frame with my Cuttlebug.

The "Amanda" bride is by Rubbernecker Stamps, It was one I picked up at the Scrapbook Expo (it is on sale for 50% 0ff if you are interested). I also thought you might be able to add just a splash of pink or red watercolor to the bouquet, but I decided to save that for next time.

I found the congratulations stamp in my stash...it is an oldie by Inkadinkadoo. I really like the font. A couple pearls were added in each corner.

I hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Wedding or Anniversary" challenge. Be sure to check out the other design team projects.

Stay Creative,

Wedding Challenge at Miss Kate Cuttables

Hello Miss Kate Cuttables Fans,

It is Monday night and I am getting up early in the morning since my daughter is having knee surgery. Hopefully the orthopeadic surgeon will find out what is causing her pain and this will alleviate the problem (in one knee). She will be out of commission for a few weeks, but then should be able to get around again. If they discover what is wrong and determine it to be beneficial, then we will have to plan for the other knee possibly during Winter Break. 

The new challenge at Miss Kate Cuttables starts tonight, and remember there is a free file every day! Hopefully you will be able to join us during the next two weeks with your own creation.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Weddings ~

Here is my Design Team project...

I have always adored the antique cars driving away after the reception and the bride and groom waving as they leave. That is why I chose this MKC file ~ Just Married.

I added a Freehand Border and a French Script background by Rubbernecker Stamps and a few black gems.

Hope you will join us at Miss Kate Cuttables for the "Wedding" challenge. The other design team members were quite creative this month! Be sure to check out ALL the variety! 

Stay Creative,

Think Pink at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back for another Die Cuttin' Diva Challenge.

This Week's Challenge...Think Pink

In Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month

My Design Team Project...

I made this wedding card for a friend at work a couple weeks ago. Love the soft pink and cream colors, lace, and heart charm.

Here are the wedding party cards I made to coordinate.

The cards were personalized for the flower girl, matron of honor, and bridesmaid. The flower girl was my favorite.

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Think Pink" challenge. The other design team members have done a fabulous job honoring breast cancer awareness, so be sure to check them out!

Hope you will join the challenge this week!

Just Married at Die Cuttin' Diva

Hello Diva Fans,

Thanks for stopping by today (and every other day!)

It is a terrific Tuesday since it is the Die Cuttin' Diva challenge day.

This Week's Challenge...

Wedding or Anniversary

Here is my Design Team project...

I typically stay away from wedding cards because I am not the overly mushy type of person. I enjoy seeing what others make (and usually get a bit envious), but I don't have much of a romantic bone in my body.

I used the following sketch from Mojo Monday.

This is the first time I cut the license plate from the Sweethearts Cricut cartridge. Easy to cut and looks great! I used foam squares to add dimension and then I cut the flower from the Flower Shoppe Cricut cartridge.

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Wedding/Anniversary" challenge. The other design team members have done a fantastic job with their creations, so be sure to check them out!

Hope you will join the challenge this week!

Stay Creative,

Mother of the Groom and 3 Year Blogoversary Coming Soon!

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

I hope you are having a great day. I have been staying busy. I went walking at the trails again this morning (another 3 miles). Then I began working on a project.  Do you ever have so much to do that you are not sure where to start? That is how it seems today...I have so many goals I am not sure which one I want to do first. Eventually they will all need to be done!

 

Here is a card I made yesterday for my walking friend. 

No, her son is not getting married but someone else in her family is. I really get stumped on wedding cards, but tried. I gave it to her last night before walking and she loved it. Not sure if she was being nice, or if she really liked it.

 

I used the sketch from Come and Get It.

 

I sure do enjoy making these pins. If you are interested in any, please let me know. I would be happy to make you some! I love to mix the different types of beads and colors!

I thought the front was a bit bland, so I added the white crochet flowers with silver heart brad.

Materials:

K&Company ~ Elegance paper

Sweethearts Cricut cartridge ~ dove (p. 56) cut at 2"

glitter glue

handmade stick pins

silver ribbon

white crochet flowers

silver heart brad

silver liquid pearls 

computer generated sentiment

Spellbinders

 

Other Challenges:

Fantabulous Cricut ~ Wedding Days

Hiding in My Craft Room ~ Die Cuts

 

Look what is coming soon!

My 3 Year blogoversary!

I sure hope you will stop by!

Creative crafters! Fabulous sponsors!

 

Until tomorrow for Little Scrap Pieces challenge,

Georgiana

It's a White Wedding with a Billy Idol link

Hello Again Crafty Friends,

(This is my second post for today...please be sure to scroll down for more projects and upcoming news! I don't want you to miss anything.)

 

Today brings a new challenge at Little Scrap Pieces.

The Challenge...White Wedding

First, I just can't stop singing White Wedding by Billy Idol! Listen here for an 80's flashback. Now onto something a little more romantic...Most traditional weddings are white, but now-a-days brides are turning to alternative colors. When I Googled I saw cream, pink, blue, and purple dresses. Mine...Mermaid style in white.

 

 Here is my Design Team project...

I was so excited to make these wedding cards because a very dear friend's daughter will be getting married soon. We started teaching together (13 years ago) and we have learned from each other since. Yes...I know we were there to teach the students, but teachers can still learn something new too. : )

This first card is truly all white...layers, bells, and pearls.

 This second card is cream and sage green. Those are the colors of Amanda's upcoming wedding.

Remember...you can click on each image to enlarge.

Materials:

white, cream, and green card stock

Sweethearts Cricut cartridge ~ bells (p. 56) cut at 2 3/4"

Spellbinders ~ Labels 8 and Floral Ovals

white (Want to Scrap) and green pearls

 

Hope you will join us at Little Scrap Pieces for our "White Wedding" challenge. Be sure to come back tomorrow for the 100 Acre Woods and ME4Y Hops. A wide variety of projects with great prizes!

 

Stay Creative,

Georgiana
