Hi there!

Happy Tuesday!

I'm so excited that the Krafty Girls challenge blog is back!!!

Are you guys ready to play??

Challenge #16 is.....Anything Goes!!

WooHoo!!

I decided to make a birthday card to add to my stash of cards to have on hand.

For my card, I used the sweet treats cricut cartridge and cut out my ice cream at 4.5".

I ran my cone through my cuttlebug using the mesh texture embossing folder by The Paper Studio.

I then inked the raised part of my cone using some Vintage Photo distress ink. I ran my pink ice cream scoop through the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder. After my ice cream was all assembled, I used some glossy accents on the chips as well as the chocolate layer. It is popped up using some foam adhesive to give it a little more dimension. 

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

Hello Cupcake

Hi Everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday season and rang in the New Year safe and sound. :) Today I get to share with you my very first post as a Trendy Twine designer! I am so excited to be a part of this design team and am looking forward to sharing my projects with you.

This month we are showcasing the yummy new Valentine Cherry Cupcake twine. This twine is absolutely beautiful and goes so well with all those pink and red projects that you may be making for Valentines Day.

Here is what I created:



I used my Sweet Tooth Boxes cricut cartridge and cut out my cupcake box at 9.5". I ran the top piece through my cuttlebug to give it a little dimension, added some doodling and finished it off with Valentine Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine as well as Christmas Berry Red Trendy Twine through my cherry button. I decided to make a little gift card to go with my cupcake (which is filled with starburst candies, yum!). I went with a 3x3 card and cut out my cupcake from the Sweet Treats cricut cart at 1.5".I kept the card really simple but I think the twine bow really put the finishing touch on it.

Don't forget to stop by the Trendy Twine Blog to see more inspiring projects from the Design Team and to join in on this month's challenge!

Cupcake Gift Bag

Today's project was made for the challenge over at The Paper Variety. This week the challenge is to use cupcakes on your project. That is right up my alley, since I love cupcakes and making things with cupcakes on it. :) I decided to make a little gift bag and a matching gift tag.

Here is a picture of both together:




And here is a close-up of the tag:



What a cute way to give someone a gift! For the bag, I cut the cupcake out of Sweet Treats at 3" and used a border punch for the top and bottom of the bag. The bag itself, is a little plain white gift bag from WalMart. For the tag, I cut the tag out of Sweet Treats at 3" and the little cupcake on the tag was cut out at 1.75". I added lots of dazzling diamonds to both projects to give it lots of sparkle. :) Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my latest creation! Have a great crafty day!
