Be Merry with Nugget Holders

Hello Everyone,

The last couple of days have been quite productive since my daughter and I have been making projects for our Carson's Cards for Cancer fundraiser. We have made cards, tags, and candy treats. We are very appreciative for all the support that we have received so far and look forward to making more projects this weekend. My brother-in-law is going to be SUPER surprised when he hears all about our efforts!

Today's project...

I made Hershey nugget holders and the svg file came from My Scrap Chick. I used solid colored card stock for the nugget base and the candy wrappers are from a variety of paper that were cut with a Jaded Blossom die.

The red and green candies are milk chocolate and the blue ones are dark chocolate.

The tag and stamped sentiments are from My Craft Spot.

My daughter and I are going to My Favorite Things tomorrow for the holiday party. Looking forward to some crafty fun!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

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.

Let's Make a Box at Die Cuttin' Divas

 Hello Diva Friends,

Welcome back to Carson's Creations! I am so glad you are stopping by to see what I have been creating during the last week. Today brings a new challenge at Die Cuttin' Diva and this one is perfect for the holiday season.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Make a Box ~

Here is my Design Team project...

What better way to give a gift during the holidays than with a homemade box. I chose a milk carton by Lori Whitlock at the Silhouette on-line store that will open easily when the ribbon is untied.

I used kraft paper for the box and the pattern paper is by My Mind's Eye ~ Lost & Found Christmas stack. I used some brown and cream ribbon and then tied the tiny tag by My Craft Spot with a twine cord. The stamped sentiment is by Whimsical Designs.  

The Layered Snowflakes are by My Favorite Things.

Other Challenges:

Connie Can Crop ~ 3D Project

Allsorts ~ Snowflakes

DL.Art ~ December Linky

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

By the way...remember I said my daughter is home for Winter Break? She posted a card and has a few more coming this week. Would you please go check it out. She would love some views/comments! Her blog is One Creative Teen. Thanks!!!

Cupcake Treats for the Holiday Season

Happy Saturday Everyone,

I went to lunch with a couple friends today and then met the family at the mall to pick up some wallflowers at White Barn. WOW! It sure is busy on the roads and at the stores. I am so glad to be home now. I have a few projects I need to finish and a couple more that I want to start. Nice, quiet time in the craft room is the perfect way to spend the afternoon.

Today's project...

I have been collecting the free cupcakes from the 12 Days of Christmas at SVG Cutting Files. I have finished two and have two more half way done.

I am loving the nerdy Christmas reindeer since we have matching glasses. The wrapper is red foil paper (looks great in person, but leaves a glare in the photo).

The Santa suit cupcake is my favorite so far. I used Wink of Stella on the white portion of the hat although it is difficult to see. The yellow ribbon matched the buckle perfectly. 

I used a clear box with decorative shred, which can be filled with any type of individually wrapped holiday candy.

 Other Materials:

red, black, brown, yellow, and white cardstock

Trendy Twine and red craft thread

red ribbbon by Celebrate It

My Craft Spot  ~ Tiny Tags

My Craft Spot ~ Mistletoe stamp set

Versafine ink ~ Black Onyx

Challenges:

Hiding in My Craft Room ~ Super Scraps (LOTS in the drawer)

Cut It Up ~ Christmas Song (Here Comes Santa Claus)

Jo's Scrap Shack ~ Anything Goes

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie ~ photo inspiration

Enjoy the holiday season and be safe if you received snow. Looks so pretty, but way too cold for me! I will have to stick to my sunny, Florida weather.

Stay Creative,

Birthday Celebration at Die Cuttin' Divas

I hope  everyone is doing well. LOTS going on here! My daughter moved back to the college dorm this past weekend, went on a field trip yesterday with my class, took the dog to the vet since her surgical spot looked terrible, and we made reservations for summer vacation next year (my son and his girlfriend are going with us this time). PHEW! And it is only Tuesday.

Today brings a new challenge at Die Cuttin' Diva.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Birthday Celebration ~

Here is my Design Team project...

A co-worker asked me to make a birthday card for her 1 year old grand-daughter.

The flying unicorn file is by Miss Kate Cuttables. The scalloped frame and stitched rectangle mats are by My Favorite Things. The scalloped circle is by My Craft Spot.

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

Under the Sea at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back to Carson's Creations! I am glad you are stopping by to see what I have been creating. Today brings a new challenge at Die Cuttin' Diva.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Under the Sea ~

Here is my Design Team project...
I created two snack boxes for any day trip...perhaps to the aquarium. Me, I love Sea World and the best part is educators can get a free teacher pass. Guess what I forgot when I was making this project? The goldfish crackers. I went to the grocery store, but forgot to write them on this list. Have you ever done that? 

I cut the Silhouette boxes by Sweet Afton with my Cameo. The original came with the goldfish cut-out, but I changed the other one. I used a MKC dolphin file and only needed one layer. I added  a piece of clear transparency film so the crackers won't fall out. The mini tag is by My Craft Spot and the Fish On stamped sentiment is by Jaded Blossom.

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

Stay Creative,

An Easter Basket and Some Eggs "For You"

Hello Everyone! 

Happy Wednesday! The week is half over and I am excited since I will see my daughter this weekend...only a few more days.

Today is my day to post at Eyelet Outlet and Brads. Before I share my design team project,  I want to let you know that there is a Daily Deal where you can get a product each day at a discounted price. Be sure to check it out!

Here is my Design Team project...

I sure have been on a roll lately making treat bags, so when I saw this scalloped top tie bag by Lori Whitlock at the Silhouette On-line store I couldn't resist. I then found this Easter basket and adjusted the size to fit the front. 

 My goal was to add these Easter egg brads by Eyelet Outlet and Brads and it worked! They are perfect in pastel colors. A mini tag to let the recipient know "For You".

Side view

A purple bow and gold edge pearl brad tie the bag closed. 

I used the following products from Eyelet Outlet and Brads shop.

Colored Egg Brads

Gold Edge Pearl Brads

Eyelet Outlet and Brads has such a wide variety of products you need to check them out!

Easter Wishes in 3D

Hello Diva Fans,

Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. I hope you will join us this week since you can try something new and create something outside the box...or you may even want to create a box. There are so many options with this one!

This Week's Challenge...

~ 3D Projects ~

Here is my Design Team project...

I created a treat bag for one lucky person. I plan to make more, but ran out of time with all the remodeling we were doing at my son's house during Spring Break.  The house is looking good!

The scalloped handle trapezoid bag is by SVG Cutting Files. 

I put Reese's bunnies in the bag. Yum!

The boy Easter bunny is by Miss Kate Cuttables. I cut him out with my Cameo. If I make another since I already have the second bag cut, I may have my bunny hold an Easter egg or a carrot.

The mini tag (by My Craft Spot) was cut on my Cuttlebug and the stamped sentiment is by Jaded Blossom ~ Easter Treats 2.

Other Materials:

Orange, white, grey, black, and blue card stock

Lawn Fawn plaid paper

yellow ribbon

blue craft thread

orange gems

Versafine Black Onyx ink

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "3D" challenge. Be sure to check out the other design team boxes, bags,  and purses!
