It's a Week Full of Love at Die Cuttin' Divas

Happy Tuesday!

Valentine's Day is only a few days away. I am looking forward to visiting the classes to see all the students' cards and see how they enjoy their parties. I am already starting to feel the love!

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

This Week's Challenge...

~ Love ~

Here is my Design Team project...

I made these Hershey Nugget boxes from My Scrap Chick for a few of my co-workers. The base of the box is heavy white cardstock and the sliding lid is paper from Pebbles. Some of the boxes have a heart window cut out while a couple don't. I used transparency film to cover the windows so there was no poking the candy treat.

 Each nugget was wrapped using the Jaded Blossom candy wrap die. I found some red, white, and pink twine in my stash and added a tiny tag stamped by My Craft Spot (closed).

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Love" challenge. The design team sure is feeling smitten with their awesome projects! If you like what you see, please become a follower so you do not miss any of my creations.  Be sure to leave your blog name and I will stop by to see what you have been making!

Stay Creative,

Not Just Cards February Challenge

Hello Crafty Friends,

Happy Monday!

The weekend went by too fast since I went to a Boat Show on Saturday and then spent yesterday at a Baby Shower for my first niece. She is due in April and had quite a turn out. We teased her about having enough room for the baby with all her new stuff.  I am already looking forward to next weekend since it's a three day one with President's Day although I don't have any plans yet. Rest and relaxation may be enough.

Today is the first day of the Not Just Cards Challenge for February.

Here is my Design Team project...

Since I don't have a class of my own any more and visit lots of others for math and science, I decided to make some treats for the classes that I visit the most. These monster pops by My Scrap Chick are for a Kindergarten class.

I cut all the pieces with my Cameo trying to use up scraps of white, black, pink, and red.

The noses are cherry flavored Blow Pops and the wrappers have cute phrases for Valentine's.

Hope you will join us at Not Just Cards for the February Challenge since you can create anything you would like.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Piggies for You

Hello Everyone,

It's Wednesday, which means we are halfway through the week. I have Coaching Institute training for a couple days this week and then again a couple days next week; therefore, the new school year is just around the corner. Summer vacation will be coming to an end sooner than later.

The challenge at Craftaholics R Us begins today. So does the challenge at Pause Dream Enjoy. Let's combine the challenges for more fun!

This Week's Challenge...

~ Craftaholics R Us - Anything Goes ~

~ Pause Dream Enjoy - Photo Inspiration ~

Here are my Design Team projects...

I chose a piggie file from My Scrap Chick. It includes three different projects and I made two of them. The first one is a tag which is attached to a Jaded Blossom purse. I went to the store (Publix) and these Hershey treats were BOGO. Such an awesome deal!

I inked all the edges of the pig with Tim Holtz distress ink ~ spun sugar and the yellow circle was inked with squeezed lemonade. 

The stamped sentiment is by Jaded Blossom ~ Chocoholic set.

This card was created using MFT stitched rectangle dies, gray polka dot paper by Echo Park, and the yellow organza ribbon is from my stash.

I used my Cameo to cut the pig.

The stamped sentiment is by MFT ~ Sow Much Cuteness set. 

Other Challenges:
Craft-Dee BowZ ~ Anything Goes with a Bow
Crafty Animals ~ Anything Goes
DL.ART ~ July Linky Party
Sunny Day Crafting ~ Animals

Hope you will join us at Craftaholics R Us and Pause Dream Enjoy this week since you can combine the two challenges together. Be sure to check out the other crafty creations.

Lots of Layers at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Everyone!

Welcome back to Carson's Creations. 

I have been super busy working out lately and taking quite a few classes at our local Y.  I am hoping to tone up and lose some weight before school starts in three weeks . The scale hasn't changed much, so I am being optimistic it is muscles since I am taking a bunch of strength training classes. Today I am feeling it, so I hope that means it is working. 

Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. Every Tuesday a new theme is posted and we always have a Guest Diva and a generous sponsor.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Lots of Layers ~

Here is my Design Team project...

Our sponsor, Dreaming Tree, offered a file to each design team member. Leo, founder, has numerous free files to try and elaborate svg files for the more advanced artist. I chose the Give a Gift Bundle and here is one of the five pieces. It is called Dainty Gift Bag. 

I used my Cameo to cut the svg file and assembled it using a Zig glue pen. I did watch a video on how to assemble the pieces because the first one I made I did glue the front flap on incorrectly. 

The teal polka dot paper is by Core'dinations and the striped paper is by PhotoPlay.

Other Challenges:

Brown Sugar ~ Two Patterned Papers

Jo's Scrap Shack ~ Anything Goes

Simply Papercraft ~ Anything Goes

This Week's Sponsor...
~ Dreaming Tree ~

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Lots of Layers" challenge.

From Me To You Treat Boxes

Happy Wednesday! 

I have some good news...I am joining the Not Just Cards Design Team. A new challenge will be posted on the 11th of every month. This month it happens to fall on the same day as a challenge at Pause Dream Enjoy (which is always on Wednesdays). 

This Week's Challenge...

~ Anything Goes ~

That makes it super easy to combine challenges.

Here is my Design Team project...

I used the bread gift box file from My Scrap Chick. I adjusted the size of the box to make it smaller for treats. The stamped sentiment is from MFT ~ Critter Clan set, pattern papers are from my stash (My Minds Eye, Recollections, and Colorbok), and the flowers are by Recollections.

I made the base of the gift box in three different colors using heavy 110lb cardstock. Since I haven't added any treats yet, I didn't tie the boxes with ribbon.

Hope you will join us at Not Just Cards and/or Pause Dream Enjoy this week for our "Anything Goes" challenge. Be sure to check out all the other DT projects for a variety of inspiration.  Each design team member has their own style, so I am sure you will find something you might want to try.

Stay Creative,

Craftaholics R Us ~ Use Kraft

Hello Everyone,

It's Wednesday, which means we are halfway through this week. 

The challenge at Craftaholics R Us also begins today.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Use Kraft ~

Here is my Design Team project...

I like to make treat containers and even though it is summer with no students, I am thinking ahead. I found this cute mini treat cup with handle by My Scrap Chick and thought the teachers would like this one when it is time to go back to school (Please understand...I am not rushing it...I just thought these were super cute treats.). I decided to give it a try now to see how quick and easy it would be to make a bunch.

After all the pieces were cut on my Cameo in kraft and gingham paper, I started to glue the bottom portion. Then the handle was attached with white brads.

The 2 oz disposable treat cups can be found in the paperware section of your local store. I bought mine at Target this time, but you can find them at Walmart or at a grocery store. The pack is about $3 for 50.

I added organza ribbon, burlap flowers, and a stamped sentiment by Scrappy Moms Stamps.

Hope you will join us at Craftaholics R Us this week for our "Use Kraft" challenge. Be sure to check out the other crafty creations.

DCD ~ Masculine or Father's Day

Happy Tuesday!

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

This Week's Challenge...

~ Masculine or Father's Day ~

Here is my Design Team project...

A couple week's ago I won a challenge at Cut It Up and the prize was gift certificate to My Scrap Chick. I bought a bunch of files and this happened to be one of them. It is a beverage shirt wrap.

My hubby's favorite drink is Coca Cola. 

The box to hold the can is actually quite durable. I was a bit worried at first, but it turned out nicely.

The stamped sentiments are from Jaded Blossom.

Other Challenges: 
Try it on Tuesday ~ For the Boys

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Masculine or Father's Day" challenge. Our sponsor this week is Scrapbook Adhesives and it is a $35 prize package. How awesome is that!

Cut It Up! Spring Blog Hop

Happy Springy Friday!
Today brings a special blog hop which combines Cut It Up and Die Cuttin' Divas design team members.

Here is my project:

I just love treat bags and boxes. What better way to tell someone you are thinking about them than with a pretty gift (This Jamie Cripps large gift box is from Silhouette Design Store). Give them a flower that will last, along with something they like (maybe candy, nail polish, craft goodies, or a gift card).  

I cut the flowers on my Cameo and the tiny tags with my Cuttlebug. The pattern paper is Hello Spring by American Crafts (I found this stack at Tuesday Mornings.).

Ribbon, twine, and gems were in the stash.

Golfer's Day at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Diva Fans!

Welcome back to Carson's Creations and thanks for stopping by!

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

This Week's Challenge...

~ Golfer's Day ~

We did watch some of The Masters this past weekend. We were rooting for Ricki Fowler although we like many of the other players. He had a great game, so maybe next year he will win. Have you ever seen The Golf Boys videos? The first one is Oh Oh Oh and the other is 2.Oh.

Here is my Design Team project...

When I saw this golf bag, I thought it was going to be a cool treat.  While preparing, cutting, and assembling I was not impressed (the instructions were not very clear). It was a bit complicated and the size really is giant. I was at Wal-Mart last night after 9pm buying this huge candy bar, so I could get it all done. I would have preferred a regular size candy bar then I could make a bunch. Now that I am finished, it is pretty neat (but I was not thinking that along the way). 

The other side...

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

Stay Creative,

Georgiana
