Thanks or Thanksgiving Challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Everyone,

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends. There is so much to be thankful for and I am hoping you have the opportunity to share that with someone today.

Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. It started on Tuesday, but you may be able to find some time around the holiday or shopping to create a thank you card. 

This Week's Challenge...

We are going to my in-laws today and I decided to make some candy treats for the guests.

I love the fall colored M&Ms which are perfect for this time of year.

Trendy Twine Guest Designer Announcement

Hello Crafty Freinds,

Not that long ago there was Guest Designer Call for Trendy Twine and I eagerly jumped at the opportunity to apply. I even got carried away with the application requirements. I think you only had to submit two projects. Well...I couldn't decide which color twine to use since there are way too many choices, so I made more!

Here are the various projects I made for the Trendy Twine Guest Designer Call. Definitely a couple extras, but it was worth it because I have been selected! Yippee! I will be a Trendy Twine Guest Designer in September.

The first two projects I made were for my daughter and her two roommates. They just started college at University of North Florida this summer. I used Blue Berry twine.

The boxes were each embossed with a different design and filled with Hershey Kisses.

The school colors are blue and grey. Each candy tube was filled with Skittles. 2020 represents the year they are to graduate with their undergraduate degrees.

Here is the second set... I created two birthday cards.

I used Strawberry Cupcake twine with the owl.

I used Pink Licorice twine with the hippo.

Both the nerdy owl and baby hippo are Miss Kate Cuttables files.

I used the following sketch for both birthday cards.

Looking forward to seeing the other Trendy Twine Guest Designer's projects. Be sure to check out who else was selected on the Twine It Up! site.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

 

September Challenge at Jaded Blossom

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today is a SUPER exciting day! It is my first day as this month's Jaded Blossom's Guest Designer. I have the honor of showcasing the September Release.

It is time for the September Monthly Challenge.

Theme: Fall Colors

Here is my project:

When I think of Fall colors I think of reds, oranges, yellows, and browns...the colors of leaves changing. What better way to celebrate the seasons changing than with Fall M&Ms and a fun owl.

I used the Kind Thanks stamp set for the 1" top. This is a fabulous set since it has so many different ways of saying thank you. It is going to be perfect with all the upcoming holidays!

The tag was cut from the Scallop Slider & Topper Die. I used a Glue Dot to adhere it to the candy tube. The over-sized bow ties the fall colors together with the candy pieces.

I used the Jaded Blossom 1"x 6" clear tube...what a great container to hold so many different types of candy. The top pops on tightly keeping the candy fresh!

This month's JB Monthly Spotlight stamp set is Halloween Treats. It is on sale all month long for $10.99. Get your set today before they run out at that price!

Remember to share all your Jaded Blossom projects in the Garden of Creativity FB group and be sure to check out ALL their great products in the JB store.

Hope you will join this month's Jaded Blossom challenge...Fall Colors. Can't wait to see what you create! Looking forward to sharing the September Release! It's coming soon!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana
