You've Been Boo'd!

It's time for another 

PDE Linky Party!!!

The theme is Halloween Treats!!! This one will be fun as we are all getting those last minute treats ready for school parties and such!

I have always liked the idea of secretly leaving a treat on the neighbor's door, ringing the bell, and running off. I haven't done it, but this year I have at least made the boxes. Maybe I'll let the kids give it a try as we have several widows as neighbors.

So here they are:

Can I say, "EASY to put together!!! The box itself is two pieces of paper - the top part of the box and the bottom part. Glue some tabs on both pieces and slide the top over the bottom. Done!!! Nothing better than a quick treat box!!! The box is from SVG Attic's Halloween Character Boxes. The paper for the ghosty top is from Doodlebug Design. It is the Kraft in Color White Woodgrain. It is one of my favorite papers. Anyway I had started these late one night earlier this week. I made the first box with a plain white top and it took me two seconds to say, "No, that's just not going to work! I need a patterned paper!" My next thought was that my local craft store a block down the street carries the Kraft in Color collection year round. So the next morning I was off to pick some up. I'm so glad I did. I really like how they turned out. The sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's Stamps' Bewitched set. It was stamped onto a Labels Ten die from Spellbinders. 

Here is a close up of one of them. 

So glad you came by today!!! Hope to see you again soon!

Don't forget to link up your treat boxes this week at PDE Linky Party!

Blessings,

Sweet Summertime Co-Blog Hop with Trendy Twine and SVG Attic



 

Welcome to the Trendy Twine-SVG Attic Sweet Summertime blog hop! We are excited to have you join us today.

 

At each stop of the hop we hope you will be inspired by the creativity of the design teams of Trendy Twine and SVG Attic. You are sure to find many wonderful projects that will  be at the top of your crafting lists.

 

You should be arriving here from -----'s blog. if you happened across this post out of order, please head to the Trendy Twine blog to start at the beginning of the hop.

 

SVG Attic's Cape Cod collection has a lot of fun elements perfect for a variety of projects. I decided to use them to make these two cards for you. And pairing them up with some Totally White and Totally Red Trendy Twine was the perfect touch.

 

For the first card, I pieced together the sailboat to fit nicely on my A2 size card base. I then took my Totally White Trendy Twine and wrapped it around the left side and attached the anchor to it. I then added the sentiment "Make today ridiculously Amazing!"

 

 

For the second card, I cut out the pieces for the lighthouse and added the rock to the bottom of the card base flush with the background paper. I then took the background piece of the lighthouse and wrapped Totally Red Trendy Twine around the bottom half. I then layered the rest of the pieces over the top to finish it off. I added this to my card on the left side leaving room for my sentiment in the top right corner that says "Faith does not make things easy, it makes things possible."

 

 

 

I can't wait to see your projects using Trendy Twine and SVG Attic products!!!

SVG Attic Guest Designer - Baby Boy Gift Box

I'm excited to be Guest Designing again today for SVG Attic!

 

I am still in the baby mood!!! Sssh! I have a baby shower to help plan soon, so it is on my mind!!!

 

For this fun gift box, I used the Cottontail Bunny Kit and the Baby Boy Kit.

 

 

 

I really like to watch little boys when they are fascinated by a plane, train, or automobile. If fact, some cute little plastic transportation toys might be the perfect thing to stuff in this box. It would also be the perfect size for some socks or onesies to give you a few ideas. The finished box is 5" W x 3.5" H x 1.75" L (deep). I used Canvas Corp's Blue and Ivory Dot cardstock. To close the top of the box I used some Totally Natural Trendy Twine. I added a tag from My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags stamp set.

 

Thank you for dropping in today and I hope you will stop by the SVG Attic store to see all the fun SVG collections they have for you there.

 

Blessings,

SVG Attic Guest Designer - Congrats, It's a Boy Card

Happy Wednesday! Exciting news!!! Today I am Guest Designing for SVG Attic. Thank you to Beth and everyone over there for such a fun opportunity!

Well, you all know that I love making cards, so that is what I have for you today. I used files from two different sets from the SVG Attic store - Tent Cards and Baby Boy. Great thing about this card is that it can also be used as a centerpiece on the tables for a baby shower or as a baby announcement (just take off the 'Congrats'). I really like how it turned out!

 The card is A2 size (5 1/4" x 4 1/2"). I used Coredinations Teal Stripe and Moonstone cardstocks and Recollections white cardstock. The base of the card is from the Tent Cards collection. Just open the file and follow the instructions on the PDF to get the card to the size you'd like. The onesie, plane, train, and the 'It's a Boy' phrase are all from the Baby Boy collection. The 'Congrats' is a die from My Creative Time and does not come with either set of files from SVG Attic. And the twine is of course from Trendy Twine. It is called Tickled with Teal. It is a beautiful combination of white and light and dark teal. It gives a nice finishing touch!

For instructions on assembling this card, head on over to my post on the SVG Attic blog.

I wish you could see the card in person. The moonstone cardstock for the onesie, plane, and train is a shimmer paper that is just beautiful on this project. I hope you will give this a try and then share your finished piece on the SVG Attic Fanatics FB Group. I'd love to see all the color/paper combos you all could come up with! Also stop by the store to see all the fun collections and get creative!

Thank you for stopping by! I invite you to visit my Facebook and Pinterest pages as well or to find me on Instagram @mmirandcreations.

Blessings,

Guest Designing for My Craft Spot - Christmas Inspiration

Happy Friday!

I'm so excited to be joining in on the fun at My Craft Spot again as a Guest Designer. Thank you so much Kimberly and the MCS DT.

 

I just loved the last couple of stamp releases at MCS and couldn't help but to make a couple of Christmas projects to highlight some of the newest Christmas stamps.

 

First I made this sweet street lamp that I imagine must be in front of Santa's cottage.

 

 

For the sign, I used stamps from the Naughty or Nice set and the Tiny Tags Christmas set. I also used the Chalkboard Sentiments Fall for the flourishes and dotted line. I did a bit of masking to only use the portion of the stamps that I wanted.

 

 

 

For my 2nd project, I made some Christmas Gift Card Holders.

 

 

Of course, the Tiny Tags Christmas set is perfect for these.

 

The finished policy style envelope that I used here measures about 2 1/2" x 3 3/4".

 

I have made about 20 of these and have used an assortment of stamps from the set on them even though I only have two samples pictured here.

 

Supplies Used - Lamp Stand

My Craft Spot:

Naughty or Nice Stamp Set

I hope you will stop by the My Craft Spot shop and take a look at all the wonderful products carried there. You are sure to find something that you will enjoy!

 

And I am truly glad you have stopped by my blog today. I invite you to stop by my Facebook and  Pinterest pages as well and to take a peek at my new Etsy shop with its first few listed items.
