Pumpkin Challenge at Miss Kate Cuttables

Hello Crafty Friends,

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

This Month's Challenge...

~ Pumpkin ~

Here is my Design Team project...

I made a tag for this candy jar filled with Hershey Kisses. I used two different files from Miss Kate Cuttables...the tag and the pumpkin. The stamped sentiment is by Scrappy Moms Stamps ~ All About Fall.

Hope you will join us at Miss Kate Cuttables for the "Pumpkin" challenge. The other design team members sure did use some cute cuts. Be sure to check out ALL the variety! 

Stay Creative,

Fight for a Cure...Think Pink

Hello Diva Fans,

Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. I hope you will join us this week since this is an important and meaningful challenge.

This Week's Challenge...

Think Pink

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States (other than skin cancer). But millions of women are surviving the disease thanks in part to early detection and improvements in treatment.

Here is my Design Team project...

A dark pink tumbler (from the Dollar Tree) personalized with a light pink ribbon. I cut the vinyl on my Cricut at 4''. I peeled the negative around the shape of the ribbon, and then used transfer tape to apply the vinyl to the center of the cup.

The tag was cut from Plantin Schoolbook at 3 1/2". The ribbon was cut from the Pink Journey Cricut cartridge at 2 3/4". The stamped sentiment is from the Jaded Blossom stamp set ~ Fight for a Cure.

The Hershey Kisses (wrapped in pink foil) have two different sentiments on the bottom, which is part of Fight for a Cure stamp set. I alternated between white and kraft paper with Hope and Faith.  

Other Challenges:
Allsorts ~ Let's Make It Pink
In the Pink ~ Ribbon and/or Bows
Craft Your Passion ~ Always Anything Goes

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Think Pink" challenge.

Enjoy your day!

Stay Creative,

Heart Window Treat Bags ~ Silhouette Studio

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends,

 

I have been busy organizing my craft area to get ready for a new year. LOTS of goals and BIG plans for 2014. How about you...have you been thinking about what you hope to accomplish in the upcoming year?

 

I wanted to learn some new techniques, which using the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition might just meet that, huh? I received a $10 download card with my new Cameo and I bought one file (YES, only one so far...so many more I can see I want already!). I wanted to test it out and get good at the program. Using the Cricut is easy, so I am sure this will be too!

 

Here is a Heart Window Treat bag.

This was my first attempt. The card stock seems a little flimsy, but it works!

 

The tag was included, but I added the Peppermint twine, K Andrews Valentine stamp, and I used an edge punch for the small hearts.

 

On my second attempt...

 I was able to fit 3 bags on one sheet of 12 X 12 paper.

Each bag is 11.180" X 3.405".

Other materials:

K&Company paper ~ Smitten

white card stock

Hershey Kisses

plastic bag ~ 3" x 3"

pink ink

 

Looking and feeling like I am ready to conquer the world!

What is next?!?!

 

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Giving Santa Kisses

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my newest creation. I made these treat bags for my class and will give them out on the last day before Winter Break. I used a new stamp that I bought from Jaded Blossom for my 20th anniversary. Hubby said to get what I wanted. : ) I didn't get everything on my wish list, but I sure did get a nice collection to get started. 

 

Santa Kisses...

First, I created the topper using Elegant Edges Cricut book feature (p. 53). Then I cut the tree from Gingerbread Cricut cartridge. I added faux stitching with a white gel pen, red sparkle ornaments, and a twine bow. The 2 1/4" tag was cut from Elegant Edges also. The stamp is from the Christmas Poop set.

The labels for the Hershey Kisses were downloaded from Amanda's Parties to Go.

Here is the class set!

Other Materials:

red, green, and white card stock

Recollection striped holiday paper

red glitter paper

3x3 plastic bags

red ink

 

Challenges:

Jaded Blossom ~ Anything Christmas

Hiding in My Craft Room ~ Holiday Colors

Little Scrap Pieces ~ Linky Party

Love to Create ~ Holiday Gift

 

Be sure to come back again! I have more treat bags, tags, and holiday cards to share. Next weekend I will be participating in a Jolly St. Nick Hop. Lots of creativity!

 

Happy Holidays,

Georgiana
