From Me To You Treat Boxes

Happy Wednesday! 

I have some good news...I am joining the Not Just Cards Design Team. A new challenge will be posted on the 11th of every month. This month it happens to fall on the same day as a challenge at Pause Dream Enjoy (which is always on Wednesdays). 

This Week's Challenge...

~ Anything Goes ~

That makes it super easy to combine challenges.

Here is my Design Team project...

I used the bread gift box file from My Scrap Chick. I adjusted the size of the box to make it smaller for treats. The stamped sentiment is from MFT ~ Critter Clan set, pattern papers are from my stash (My Minds Eye, Recollections, and Colorbok), and the flowers are by Recollections.

I made the base of the gift box in three different colors using heavy 110lb cardstock. Since I haven't added any treats yet, I didn't tie the boxes with ribbon.

Hope you will join us at Not Just Cards and/or Pause Dream Enjoy this week for our "Anything Goes" challenge. Be sure to check out all the other DT projects for a variety of inspiration.  Each design team member has their own style, so I am sure you will find something you might want to try.

Stay Creative,

Craftaholics R Us ~ Use Kraft

Hello Everyone,

It's Wednesday, which means we are halfway through this week. 

The challenge at Craftaholics R Us also begins today.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Use Kraft ~

Here is my Design Team project...

I like to make treat containers and even though it is summer with no students, I am thinking ahead. I found this cute mini treat cup with handle by My Scrap Chick and thought the teachers would like this one when it is time to go back to school (Please understand...I am not rushing it...I just thought these were super cute treats.). I decided to give it a try now to see how quick and easy it would be to make a bunch.

After all the pieces were cut on my Cameo in kraft and gingham paper, I started to glue the bottom portion. Then the handle was attached with white brads.

The 2 oz disposable treat cups can be found in the paperware section of your local store. I bought mine at Target this time, but you can find them at Walmart or at a grocery store. The pack is about $3 for 50.

I added organza ribbon, burlap flowers, and a stamped sentiment by Scrappy Moms Stamps.

Hope you will join us at Craftaholics R Us this week for our "Use Kraft" challenge. Be sure to check out the other crafty creations.

Stay Creative,

Happy Easter from Trendy Twine

Happy Easter,

Today is the last day for the Spring Guest Designers at Trendy Twine. What a wonderful opportunity it was using this fabulous twine. Thank you again Lesley for allowing us to showcase a variety of colors during the past two months. 

Although my children are older and do not hunt Easter eggs any more, I still like to give them goodies. I made an Easter treat using a Jaded Blossom purse. 

I wrapped my Grape Fizz twine around the handle and then attached my tag. The stamped setiment is from Jaded Blossom's  Bunny Poop Revamped stamp set.

I cut out the chocolate bunny on my Cameo, added a wiggly eye, and made him a twine bow. I chose to adhere a couple yellow sequins since they matched the jelly beans.

Be sure to get your Grape Fizz Trendy Twine today!

You can find this great twine color along with many more  at  Annie's Paper Boutique store.

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.

I added heart shaped enamel dots by Eyelet Outlet and Brads to the feet.

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!

Die Cuttin' Divas ~ Rainbows

Hello Diva Fans,

I am officially on Spring Break, but we have no plans to travel  since my hubby is still helping my son remodel his new house. They have been working on it for 3 1/2 weeks, but it sure is looking good. We have six days and hopefully they can get the list accomplished! There is a half wall that needs to be finished (they took out two walls and replaced it with one half wall), texture to ceiling and walls must be applied, painting all the rooms, install new kitchen cabinets, and new flooring. Fingers crossed!

Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. I hope you will join us this week since it is much easier than ALL that house remodeling!

This Week's Challenge...

~ Rainbows ~

Here is my Design Team project...

I found the tag in a pile of extra cut-outs on my craft table, so all I needed to do was add the Miss Kate Cuttables Rainbow into Leprechaun hat and stamped sentiment by Jaded Blossom ~ Dream in Color. I thought the rainbow gems brightened the edges.

I used a gable box by Jaded Blossom to hold the Skittles.

The tulle bow was the final touch.

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

Trendy Twine Guest Designer

Hello Everyone,

I am back as a Spring Guest Designer for Trendy Twine. I am super excited because we were able to pick any color of twine we wanted to use. Well, I couldn't pick just one (too many fabulous colors to choose from), so I sent Lesley my wish list and told her to surprise me. I LOVE the color she sent me...Grape Fizz. The purple is perfect for this time of year.

I created little bunny treat boxes for a few of my co-workers.

I used Grape Fizz Trendy Twine as the front bow, which holds the box closed. 

The side view...the treat box is big enough for a small hand full of jelly beans.

Be sure to get your Grape Fizz Trendy Twine today!

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

Hershey Nuggets Make A Happy Day!

Happy Sunday...well, sort of...we are in the midst of a tornado warning with severe storms in the area. Hoping everyone stays safe! We are inside where it is dry and I am keeping my fingers crossed that the power does not go out. I want to get two more projects done tonight. 

For today's project I'd like to share a file by SVG Cutting Files. It was from a Valentine Hop last year, but I never made it. So glad I remembered and found it! I cut it out on my Cameo.

The sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps ~ With All My Heart set was stamped on a MFT fishtail flag.

The treat box file is called Arched Nugget Polar Bear Heart (It is still available in the store.). I wrapped Hershey chocolate nuggets with matching pattern paper.

Other Materials:

Heart pattern paper  ~ Recollections

white, pink, red, and black card stock

red heart gem

Versafine Onyx Black ink

Challenges:

Little Scrap Pieces ~ Show It Off Saturday

Crafty Gals Corner ~ Add a Heart
