Cupcake's Creations: Season's Greetings

Hi there! Hope you are all having a great weekend! I have a few photos to share from Jerry's graduation ceremony on Friday. I won't babble on but I must say, I'm so proud of him :)

I spent some time today finishing up several gift card boxes that I have been working on. I pulled out my Cricut Expressions machine and made a few boxes using the Bags, Tags, Boxes and More cartridge along with patterned paper from the Pink Paislee City Sidewalks collection. The boxes measure 4 1/2" W x 4" H x 1/2" D, perfect size to house gift cards :)

This year, I didn't shop for my son's sweet GF April, we bought her gift cards to several of her favorite stores so she can shop for herself. I'm so proud of her because she wanted to lose weight, she put the effort into it and has successfully lost over 20 lbs. So we thought she would have more fun shopping for herself :) The tag on this gift box was made using Die-namics Tag You're It and Stamp Set. I stamped the tag image using MFT Wild Cherry ink, adhered an embellishment on that was made using a die from Die-namics Dizzy Doily DUO along with a fan fold decoration that was made using Die-namics 1/4" Rosette then finished it with a Wild Cherry button and a hemp bow.

The inside features a gift card pocket using the Die-namics Gift Card Pocket - Horizontal die then stamped a sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments using Wild Cherry ink.

The next gift box features an embellishment made using the following combination of MFT products: Die-namics Snowflake Doily, Die-namics Decorative Doily DUO, Die-namics 1/4" Rosette, Sno Cone button and hemp.

This gift box also contains a pocket that was made using the Die-namics Gift Card Pocket - Horizontal die then stamped a sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments using Wild Cherry ink.

The next gift box features an embellishment made using the following combination of MFT products: Die-namics Jumbo Snowflake, Die-namics Open Scallop Doily DUO, Die-namics 1/4" Rosette, Sno Cone button and hemp:

The inside contains a gift pocket made using Die-namics Gift Card Pocket - Vertical that was stamped with a sentiment from LJD Stitched Stockings:

And last but not least is a gift box for Jerry featuring an embellishment made using the following combination of MFT products: Die-namics Decorative Circle STAX, Die-namics Dainty Doily DUO, Die-namics 1/4" Rosette, a Wild Cherry button and a hemp bow:

Hi there! Welcome to Day 6 of the MFT November Teasers! Today I am sharing a mixed media canvas featuring the sweet Pure Innocence Angel image.

I stamped, colored and paper pieced the sweet Pure Innocence Angel image then adhered her on top of an oval layered frame made using a Die-namics Oval STAX die and Die-namics OVAL Decorative Doily.

After painting and spritzing the canvas, I randomly stamped polka dots using an image from Darling Dots and acrylic paint/Gesso. I adorned the canvas with lots of pretties made using an assortment of Die-namics. In case you haven't noticed, I'm really loving the beautiful Die-namics Poinsettia! Shown below is a Sno Cone Poinsettia with Natural leaves, a Kraft Medium Fancy Flourish, a Whip Cream Royal Rose and Rolled Rose.

Another Sno Cone Royal Rose, Natural Royal Leaves, a Kraft Fancy Flourish and a few altered Whip Cream buttons.

I stamped a pretty sentiment from Season's Greetings on a die cut label made using Die-namics Framed Greetings die.

In case you are curious how I made this project, I made a short video tutorial sharing steps taken along the way. I hope you like it :)

Shown below are the Die-namics I used on my project today included in the November release:
