Easter Cookies for Inspiration

Today, I am sharing If You Give a Crafter a Cookie's new challenge. These are quite creative challenges...you have a picture of a cookie (yes, a cookie) and you use it as inspiration to create your project....a card, a layout, a tag, a gift bag...anything!

This Week's Challenge...

Here is my Design Team project...
I found this super cute bunny box on Silhouette Design Store. I just had to pick out the perfect papers to bring it all together.


Pink organza ribbon with Pink Sorbet Trendy Twine tie the mini tag to box. The stamped sentiment is by Craftin Desert Divas ~ Simply Said set and the mini tag is by My Craft Spot.
Hope you will join us at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie this week for our "Photo Inspiration" challenge. The other design team members all interpreted the picture differently, so go check it out!

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".

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

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

Using a Die Cuttin' Diva Sketch to Send Birthday Wishes

Hello Diva Fans,

Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. I hope you will join us this week since there are so many choices.

This Week's Challenge...
~ April's Sketch ~

Here is my Design Team project...
My daughter's birthday is this weekend and we are visiting her in Jacksonville, so I decided to surprise her with a birthday card. I used her favorite color (well, it's close to Tiffany Blue) with a splash of pink (not her favorite color, but I sure do think it looks good together).

I found this stamp by Stampendous in my stash and I used my MISTI to center it within the MFT stitched circle. A few pretty pink flowers by Recollections and some matching pink gems by Eyelet Outlet and Brads.
Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Sketch" challenge. Be sure to check out the other design team projects.

Stay Creative,
Georgiana

Springtime Thank You Bags for Trendy Twine

Hello Everyone! Happy April...no fooling here!

Today I am back as Trendy Twine's Spring Guest Designer again. I am thrilled to share a couple different color combinations that are perfect for this time of year. My AP asked me to make some treat bags for the teachers and staff that were involved with 3rd Grade Reading FSA. I jumped at the opportunity since I knew everyone has been working so hard this school year. What a great way to show them they are appreciated and to keep them motivated!

I used Grape Fizz Trendy Twine for the purple butterfly bags.

I used Lemon Peppermint Trendy Twine for the red and yellow butterfly bags.
  
This twine works wonderfully with mini tags.

Be sure to get your Grape Fizz and Lemon Peppermint Trendy Twine today!
 










You can find these great twine colors along with many more by visiting the Annie's Paper Boutique store. 

Stay Creative,

Believe in the Bunny at Paper Play Sketches

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Welcome back to Carson's Creations and thanks for stopping by.  Today I am sharing the new challenge at Paper Play Sketches. Great way to combine a few challenges since you can choose any colors, theme, sentiment, etc.

This Week's Challenge...

Here is my Design Team project...
I have been thinking about Easter, so I thought I'd find a cute bunny for this sketch.

I cut the bunny on my Cameo (it was part of a 3D stand up card from Silhouette On-line Store) and then added a wiggly eye. The stamped sentiment is by Jaded Blossom ~ Easter Treats 2.
Other Materials:
Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid paper
white and green card stock
MFT stitched circle die
blue sequins
Versafine Onyx Black ink

Now, I hope you will  join us this week for the Paper Play Sketches challenge. Be sure to visit the other Design Team members to see how they interpreted the sketch.

Stay Creative,

Anything Goes at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Diva Fans,

Although I haven't been around much, I have been super busy...well, that is at my son's house still. Only two more BIG projects (kitchen cabinets with counters and new hardwood floors in the entire house) and then his house will be ready. Once he is able to move (he will need furniture), I will be able to create a craft room in his old space. Exciting! 

Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas and I am hoping LOTS of crafty people will share their projects that they have been making.

This Week's Challenge...
~ Anything Goes ~

Here is my Design Team project...
I thought this lamb candy dispenser would be a cute treat for someone.

This box is by Lori Whitlock and I found it at Silhouette On-line Store. I cut it out with my Cameo. Make sure you use thick card stock to create the box. You don't want it to be flimsy or it will not hold its shape.

You can add small individually wrapped treats for your favorite person.
Other Materials:
cream, black, brown, white, and pink card stock
Brushed Corduroy Distress ink  by Ranger

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Anything Goes" challenge. Be sure to check out the rest of the design team since there is a variety.

Stay Creative,

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!


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!

Stay Creative,
Georgiana
