Charistmas Gift boxes

Hi friends.  I am sharing some Christmas Gift Boxes I made as gifts for our craft group at church.  There is a stamp in each box and they are decorated for Christmas.  I made half in green and half in red.

There are 11 total. I used a cut file from Silhouette to cut them out.  After assembling them, I added a strip of Recollections pattern paper, a scallop circle punch, and an SU scallop oval punch.  The sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy Poinsettias & Candles set.  The bows are made with an MFT die.  I tied them together with some older Christmas ribbon from Michael's.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Merry Christmas Tag -25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hello friends.  I made another tag for Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  They are on Day 25, the last day today, but I have only completed two tags as I have been very busy with other things.  For my tag I was inspired by several cute tags with doggies.  One was this cutie by Angela:

For my tag I used an adorable doggie print & cut image on my Silhouette.  He is mounted with foam tape.The sentiment is die cut from red glitter paper with an Elizabeth Craft Designs die.  The DSP is a scrap from my stash and the tag base is SU Crumb Cake.  I added some Christmas ribbon to the tag and it was done.

I am linking my tag up with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge as I used IO Merry Christmas die.


Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Merry Monday #175

Good morning friends.  This is my card for the Merry Monday #175 challenge - use a moose on your card.  I searched through my stamps and did not have a single moose stamp so I used my Silhouette  Studio and printed this adorable moose.  It is a Print & Cut image, but I fussy cut it myself.  It is mounted with foam tape to an MFT Stitched Circle die cut.  The mats are Recollections Black CS and the card base and white circle are Coredinations Heavy White CS.  The red  DSP is from The Paper Studio A Very Merry Christmas 6x6 pad and the green is from Echo Park The Story of Christmas 6x6 pad.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Wedding Card & Layout - Cheery Lyn Designs Challenge

This is a card and layout that I made for a couple at our church that are getting married this weekend. Their colors are pale blue & yellow. I will be framing the layout in a white frame. The center panel is for their photo. I had a lot of fun making both the card and layout.

The card idea is from my good friend Jeanie, The Spotted Chick (click on the link and check out her card, and while you are there check out all her fabulous creations). She made wedding invitations (and a whole bunc of other stuff) for her daughter's wedding last year using this Silhouette Cameo cut file for the card wrap and I just loved it. So with my NEW Cameo I cut the card wrap and made the card similar to Jeanie's. I used SU Whisper White and Bashful Blue CS and DSP. I typed the couple's names & date on my computer and cut it out with a Spellbinders oval & scalloped oval. The card sentiment is from SU Occasional Quotes set. The band for the card is glued only on the back of the card and has a Basic Gray small magnet for the closure. The card is 4-1/2" square.

 

 

For the layout I used Bashful Blue CS & DSP. Whisper White, Certainly Celery and the yellow is from The Paper Studio.  I die-cut the Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flouish in Celery Green.  The yellow flowers are made with Spellbinder's Rose Creations dies with a SU white brad in the center. I inked the edges with SU Daffodil Delight ink.  The small blue roses are made with MFT's Rolled Rose die.  The date is done on my computer and matted with a Fancy Tags Two die.  The & symbol is also done on the computer and cut with Heart & Scalloped Heart dies.  The names are cut on my Cricut.  The fancy corners are a Provo Craft die.   I embossed the center white panel with a Sizzix EF and punched Bashful Blue boders with a Martha Stewart punch.  I punched the corners of the photo mat with Family Treasures corner punch so the couple could insert a photo of their choice.

 

I am entering this layout in Cheery Lynn Designs die-cut flowers challenge.  You have to use at least one Cheery Lynn die.  I don't have any of their flower dies, but I do have the Fanciful Flourish and some border dies.  Check out their challenge, just click on the link.
