Snowflakes at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Diva Fans!

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

Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. I hope you will join us this week and show off your creative side.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Snowflakes ~

Here is my Design Team project...

I bought these snowflake bags at Michaels for 80% off and thought they would be perfect for this challenge. I figured a tag would be a great addition to the front of each one.

I cut each PPPR tag on my Cameo. It is about 4" x 2.5". The Layered Snowflakes by My Favorite Things were cut with my Cuttlebug. I cut a variety of pieces in dark blue, silver, and light blue and then layered them. The stamped sentiment is by Whimsical Designs. The dark blue gingham and light blue striped ribbon was tied with a bow maker and adhered with a Glue Dot. 

I found the candy at Dollar Tree. I searched for wrappers that came in different shades of blue. I was going to mix the pieces, but the peppermint gum was too strong for the Cookies and Cream Hershey Kisses. Therefore, each bag has its own type of treat.

Other Challenges:

Dare 2B Artzy ~ Winter Wonderland

Use Your Stuff ~ Tag

Incy Wincy Designs ~ Tag

A Gem of a Challenge ~ Cool in Blue

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

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.

Stay Creative,

Heat Embossed Snowflakes

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to Carson's Creations! 

We went to Disney ~ Magic Kingdom this morning since our annual passes expire in a couple weeks. The park opened at 8am and we were able to get on the majority of the rides before lunch. I thought it was going to be super busy, but with the Disney app and three Fast Passes we enjoyed ourselves. That was until the ride home...the traffic on the turnpike was incredibly slow. It took us almost an extra hour to get home. During the long ride home, I was thinking about making a black and white heat embossed card. I knew I wanted red, and the blue came later.

Here are the results...

I used My Favorite Things Blueprint #20 for the scalloped edge and stitched black mat.

The Merry Christmas was cut with a MFT die.

The Martha Stewart snowflakes were heat embossed with White Zing embossing powder. I added either white or blue pearls to the center of each snowflake.

  

Inside both cards is a stamped MFT sentiment ~ Trim the Tree stamp set was used.

Challenges:

Challenge Up Your Life ~ Snowflakes

My Sheri Crafts ~ Winter

Hiding in My Craft Room ~ Any Holiday

4 Crafty Chicks ~ Winter Wonderland

One more day before heading back to school. I keep thinking about what I need to do to be prepared for students. Lots to do still, but tomorrow is another day!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana
