Hershey Nugget Box

I have finally designed a cute box for those ever so popular Hershey Nuggets! I used my Gypsy (not sure i know how to use my Cricut without it anymore!) and the matchbox from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More.

I have a few designs... I have the window box pictured here and one without the window (will post later).

What do you think?

Jinger Adams Design Team Call

So one of my New Year's Resolution is to be more creative... like actually doing something and not just looking to see what others are doing. I know, it's March, the end of March, to be more precise but it's better late than never, right? Well Jinger Adams is having a design team call for her new line. Super exciting and super happy for her!! Way to go Jinger! What a great excuse to get going again.

Here is my submission for Jinger's design team call:




To make this card I used:
kraft cardstock for the card base from Joann's
Nestabilities for the "hello" base
the ribbon I had in my stash and I sprayed it with a Smooch Spray
the pearls are Recollections
Stickles for outline the "hello" base
Making Memories and K & Company paper
I used my Cricut for the swirls cut and the yellow paper is from Bazzil

To create the flower in the middle I used the carnation dimensional flower punch by EK Success, rolled the edge and used hot glue on the bottom to keep it from unraveling. Then I "fluffed" the petals a bit.

I hope you enjoyed the card! I would love to see your version!

Thanks!

Petal Cones

I just love, love these cones! I used this using my Cricut and Tie The Knot cartridge. I hid the predone holes and made my own to fit what I wanted. Now I do love the scallop but wished there was a cut without it. I guess for now, this will have to do. I used my Gypsy and was able to fit 2 on a page. I first cut them out with cardstock but it wasn't very pliable. Although the paper I used is normal, it turned out well. I won't be able to put anything to heavy but it's ok. I think these would be cute with some pretzels...

Pillow Boxes

I not only love cupcake boxes but I love boxes of all sorts!

I am capable of using my Cricut to make pillow boxes but while perusing my Michael's I found a pack of 20 for $2.99. I really couldn't pass it up at that price. There's no way I can make that many pillow boxes for $2.99. Yes, they were plain but I knew with my handy dandy Cricut and my right sided brain, I could come up with something... and so I did...



I used my Tim Holtz die for the rosette, Plantin' Schoolbook for the flourish and the butterfly in my stash as well as the ribbon. This size pillow box makes a great gift card holder or for anything small. Someone ordered a scrabble tile necklace from me and it fit perfectly with some tissue paper.

Thanks for looking! I would love to see your thoughts/comments on this!

Decorated Flameless Candle

For Christmas I gave one of my good friends this flameless candle. Many years ago when she was in high school she burned down a portion of her bedroom due to an attended candle. So i wanted to give her something cute and safe :). Yes, a little bit od a koke but it turned out so cute!

I used an edge punch for the band. For the rosette I used Cricut's "Something To Celebrate", Bazzil flowers for the center and recollections pearls. The patterned paper is also from recollections.

Sweet Tooth Boxes Cupcake Box

I love, love boxes! I especially LOVE cupcakes boxes! It goes with my love of making cupcakes :)

So as you can imagine I was absolutely thrilled when Sweet Tooth Boxes came out for the Cricut. So with my Gypsy I did these boxes below. The bottom set of images are from my first go at making these cupcake boxes. For the clear window I used transparency that you can buy at the office store,

For the first set of photos I made for my boss' birthday. For the rosette I used my Tim Holtz Sizzix die and for the swirls I used Plantin' Schoolbook and cut up the die to make it work for me.




Since I used my Gypsy I had to play with it to get the right size. I can't tell you off the top of my head what size I used. Of course its' best to use card stock paper cause that's the heaviest. Due to the size, you end up using 3 sheets of paper. Since the top of the box goes over the bottom of the box, I use printed paper for the top, and solid for the bottom. Why waste a cute piece of paper if you can't see it, right?




Thanks for looking! I hope you've enjoyed today's post

Gift Giving Season...

Happy Holidays everyone! WIth Christmas fast approaching it's time to get those gifts bought, wrapped and delivered! And I can help!

For the first time I upcycled Scrabble tiles into pendants. For the most part I used recycled and scraps of my scrapbook paper. I knew saving all those pieces of paper - big and small, would pay off!

Here is a preview of my shop:


I still have many, many more pendants to post.

If you are looking for something specific or need help with ideas, please convo me and I will be happy to help!

Each pendant comes with a silver plated ball chain necklace wrapped in tissue inside a pillow box ready for you to give!
