Creations By AR Saying Farewell!!!

 It's a sad day here for all of our Creations by AR Design Team. Adela Rossol, owner and designer of Creations by AR,  recently announced that she would be closing her store on July 31st due to health reasons. You still have several weeks to buy your favorite files.  Don't forget to use the code 'farewell' by July 31st! 

 Adela-you will be missed!

To My Dear Fellow Crafters,

It's always difficult to say good-bye, but it is time. Many of you already know that I have been dealing with health issues which prevented me from designing and crafting. I miss my craft time so much! I discovered my passion for crafting when I was only seven years old and it immediately became my favorite hobby! Needless to say, my love for crafting will now take a back seat in my everyday life, but it's okay because I now have more time to spend with family. I'm very thankful for the blessings that God has given me and continue to give to me and my family. 

Thank you friends, for allowing me to share my love for paper crafting with you. It's always so exciting when I find AR projects online that someone has shared. Thank you for your lovely words and for being such a big part of my life!

I will be closing shop on July 31st. Please take advantage of the 50% off all files in my shop.  If you have AR Points accumulated, use them before the 31st.  If you have any questions not covered in the FAQ section of my website, please email me directly at adela@creationsbyar.com

Thank You and Farewell My Friends!

Fragrance Bottle Set 

Potions and Eye of Newt....spooky stuff! 

 I think these were intended to be a manly foo-foo smell good bottle and a sweet girlies foo-foo parfume...but you gotta know that I love Halloween projects!  I saw these labels  in the Silhouette store and knew right away they were perfect for this project!!! I decorated each bottle with with a fun print and cut label . (linked below).  

   

 Ewwwww...don't you love that spider hanging  in the middle of the bottles? 

 I thought these lids would be really hard to make-but both bottles and lids were super easy to make. I would suggest that you use Zip Dry Paper glue on these (or a similar liquid glue) as it allows for a little alignment time before it sets up.

I have to tell you that the cobwebs I used for the pictures were a real pain.  They kept stretching and getting tangled-the whole picture taking scene made me laugh! But--- It was oh so worth it to see that spooky spider hanging in the background !!!!

Gift Card Holder inside

 Card Armoire

Doesn't this looks like Santa's Armoire?  

I love these little frames-I cut the "little, teeny tiny" numbers with my Silhouette. 

 The lid(top) closes and holds the doors closed

Flip the lid back and the doors open

I am showing you the inside with  A2 envelopes tucked inside, but I really think this would be just the cutest full of fun little wrapped gifties at Christmas time! It is fairly large inside ---  about 6.5 inches tall, 5 inches wide by  x 2 inches deep!!  The Armoire itself is 7.5 inches tall!

Welcome to our latest blog hop-sure to be full of fun ideas for these new release files!

You can be a winner of these files by following along on this blog hop!

Gingerbread Gift Bag  

Details:

I used SU! brown cardstock, and the SU  white shimmer cardstock and misc green, red and kraft papers. 

I also used a Memory Box Tiny Bow die to add a festive touch! This cut file also comes with a little Gingerbread couple to add for decoration.  It is the perfect size to be a candy cane holder or hold a good size present!                                                                      

                                              
   Stack A Snowman

Details:
I used Tim Holtz Merriment Cardstock for the Snowman and Dear Lizzie Jingle All the Way for the wreath. I added some black buttons and green twine for the scarf. The holly is a misc cut file I already had.  I have to tell you how I measured this cute little box...the head holds 1 Lindor Truffle, the middle section holds 3 Lindor Truffles and the bottom of the box holds 6 or 7!  So basically, a whole bag of Lindor Truffles LOL!

          Starry Tree

Details:

I used some yummy new My Minds Eye 'Joyous' Christmas paper for these Starry Trees! Love the glitter and pretty patterns!    Open them up and they have a spot for a nice surprise!

It's A Beach Hop-Creations by AR

Sandy Beach Bucket

Beach Bucket Card

Welcome to our Creations by AR June It's A Beach 

Blog Hop!  

I have a fun quick and easy little Beach Bucket file to

 show off today. I was wishing I was sitting on the beach 

and getting ready for fireworks, so instead here I am-making festive 4th of July projects!

I used some Star Spangled papers for the Beach Bucket Card and added some fun 

little "fireworks" inside my bucket. I  added a few pinwheel fireworks and a 4th of July 

sentiment(from the Silhouette Store) Finally--adding in a few sparklies made me happy---

and it was done in a flash. This file would make great table setting cards don't you think?

So Sorry, but Cherry Harvest is biting into my crafting time big time, so I only made one of 

the files, but I am sure you will see the fun 3D bucket all made up along the way!

 I do hope you will hop along and see what the rest of the crew came up with!  I am last in 

line, so start at Adela's blog, she is first in line!

You can see how the card  stands up it's little base!

PRIZE: Winner will win one of the new templates.  There will be two winners:

ONE winner chosen from DT blogs and ONE winner chosen from FB

Creations by AR Designers Choice Blog Hop!

Crayon Box and Card Set

Our Creations by AR May Blog Hop is 

Designers Choice!!!!

Each Design Team member will choose a favorite file to show off!

 Since it is the end of the school year, I thought it would be fun to do a little Teacher Appreciation giftie...and the best part is that this file is on sale this month right HERE!

I cut the box and card base out of kraft cardstock. I stamped the Teacher sentiment on another piece of kraft using Versafine ink. To add a little pop of color I added a cute little apple brad on the front. Yep, I like crafty simple. Not too fussy, but something that really pops! 

 I made 4 of these cards to add to the inside of the crayon box. I used some school themed cardstock to dress up the crayons and added a perfect sentiment to the front of each card!

 A box full of crayons!

Here's the whole set I made!

PRIZE:

One template of your choice

HOW TO QUALIFY TO WIN:
