Candy Canes

Hello Everyone

November 1, WOW!!! do you believe it! 
Next month we will be in the midst of preparing for Christmas.



The November Challenge has started over at Craft-Dee BowZ.  
So you have all month to submit a project 
Theme - Anything Goes and include a Handmade Bow
Sponsor - Beccy's Place
Prize - 1 Stamp Set

With the holidays getting closer, I thought I'd make a tag and a small pillow box gift box
for my inspiration piece.


The pillow box was cut from an Accu-Cut die. I've had the die for years and comes in handy for a medium size gift box. I used white cardstock for the box and added a 2" strip of red CS and then stacked a 1" strip of designer paper on top. Next, I added a gold multi-loop bow to finish the box off.

Here is a closer look at the pillow box.


The tag - now that came together in a funny way.  A while ago I had cut out 3 different sizes of poinsettias on a red piece of cardstock for a different project and I saved the cutout piece. So, for this larger tag, I was looking around for something to use as a background. I spied that piece that I had already cut out and it was a great fit. I trimmed it up and added glitter in the cutout spaces. Finally, I added the candy cane image over the red background panel and used some of that gold sheer ribbon to use as the string on the tag.

Here is a closer view of the tag.


 If you struggle with making a bow, let me suggest the Craft-Dee BowZ bow making tool.  It's easy to use and can make a bow anywhere from 1" to 4" in size. The tool is handy, portable and it's a tool that is easy to use. Besides the instructions that accompany the tool itself, there are online videos that make it easy to follow along.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project.

Season's Greetings

Hello Everyone
I've been crazy busy and on top of it all, I forgot to post this cute card.

Speaking of forgetting - Don't forget, challenge  #353 is going on right now over at Crafty Creations Challenges.
The theme - Anything Goes
Sponsor - Bugaboo
Prize - 4 images of your choice
Challenge will end November 6

For my card, I used this sweet image from Bugaboo,  called Candy Cane Bear.

 To make this 6X6 card -
I used a colorblock die from Accu-cut and just used the frame part. Next, I attached that frame to a sheet of adhesive and added glitter to the separate blocks. I added the Candy Cane Bear to the center of the block and attached it to a matte silver panel.

I then embossed the corners of the silver panel and then attached the panel sheet to the card front. Next, I made poinsettias using Spellbinders dies, glitter those up and attached to the card front. I then added the greenery and my die cut sentiment.




This was a cute card to make and can't wait to give it. 
I have the perfect person in mind already.

Well, that's it for today.

I will be back Wednesday with a post for my 1st of the month post.
Hope to see you then

I am submitting my card in the following challenges:
