Birthday Gift with Washi

Happy Saturday!

Today I get to show you a super simple favor box that I created and no patterned paper was used, only that gorgeous Washi tape from Love My Tapes. 

The tapes I used on my project are:

Lime with White Polka Dots

&

Pink Chevron

Here is my project:

I used the Candy Caddy From Jaded Blossom to create my little treat bag. I then laid out some strips of Washi tape onto some white cardstock scraps and used some balloon dies from My Creative Time to cut them out. I stamped a greeting onto the bag using a stamp from Scrappy Moms and then placed some of the Pink Chevron washi along the bottom edge. I popped my balloons up using some foam adhesive and then tied some strings onto the balloons. I cut the strings rather short with the hopes that they would appear to be forming the sentiment. Not quite sure if that worked or not but I went with it haha! After the bag was decorated, I wrapped each piece of chocolate with a piece of white cardstock and then more Washi.

I think these would make the perfect little party favors or even a simple but cute birthday gift for a co worker, neighbor, etc.

Stretch Your Dies--Day 2

Hi!

I'm back with another card that I made for the 

Stretch Your Dies online class from Online Card Classes .

This is the card that I made using a technique card "die cuts within a larger die" taught to us by Kristina Werner.

I thought this was going to be really difficult but it was actually quite easy. I had a lot of fun with this card! I even got to watercolor which I love but rarely do. :) 

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!

I hope you have a great crafty day!!

Stretch Your Dies--Day 1 (card 2)

Hi everyone!

Me again! I have been so busy that I am trying to play catch up with some blog posts so please forgive me for posting twice in one day :)

I'm back with another card that I made for the 

Stretch Your Dies online class from Online Card Classes

Julie Ebersole taught us this super cool technique where we created a on the edge card. This allows you to create a little flap to where one half of your card is actually held shut by the die cut edge. 

The die I wanted to use was a little small though so I decided to make a gift card holder instead of an A2 sized card using this technique.

Opened and showing the partial die cutting that creates the "lock":

Stretch Your Dies Online Card Class

Happy Thursday!!

Today I will be posting a couple of cards that I made for the 

Stretch Your Dies online class from Online Card Classes

The first card I made was from a technique that Jennifer McGuire showed us. This technique was all about how to get more from your dies by using some fun foam, die cutting it out and then shrinking it to get a slightly smaller word. I thought this was so cool! Often I have wanted to use one of my word dies but it was just a little too big. Now I know a way to make them slightly smaller. :)  

For my card, I simply colored my fun foam with a black marker once I shrunk it so that it popped against that sea of white. I added a bit of glitter cardstock to the side along with some hot pink striped paper and finished it off with a few sequins. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look at my latest creation!

I will be back a little later on today to show you another card that I created from the Day 1 lesson.

I hope you have a great crafty day!!

Terrific Tuesday Challenge---Pink & Yellow

Happy Tuesday!
Are you all ready for a new Terrific Tuesday Challenge over at the Scrappy Moms blog?

The theme for this Terrific Tuesday Challenge is.... Color Challenge---Use Pink & Yellow
I thought that color combo was perfect for a Spring type of card so I decided to make a Easter card.

I thought this little SVG from KaDoodle Bug was so cute that I just had to use it for my card. I made a square card and cut out the scallop square layer from the Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge. I popped it up onto the front of my card with some foam adhesive so that I didn't end up with a "bump" underneath from the ribbon placement. Isn't that greeting cute? It is from the For Peep's Sake set by Scrappy Moms. I decided to add some liquid applique to the bunny tail and then using my heat gun so that it would puff up and give the appearance of cotton to coordinate with my greeting.

Here is a look at the entire For Peep's Sake set:

Cute huh? I love this set!

I hope you will stop by the Scrappy Moms Blog to see the fabulous creations my wonderful Design Team sisters created for this challenge as well as entering the challenge yourself!  I would love to see what you create!
