Humming Bird Box - My Sweet Tater

Good Morning my crafty friends, I hope you are all having a fantastic week.
Here is another gift box I made from a file from My Sweet Tater.
Go check out this and many more of her wonderful files over at Scrappin Hens.
So awesome and easy, just print out on your printer, cut, score and paste, thats it.
It is so easy and you don't have to own a cutting machine to use these.  You
can of course embellish them more if you would like but they really don't need it.
I just added a ribbon and bow for this one.
 This Box is approx. 3 1/2" x 5" x 1".  I used quick dry glue on this box
but from now on I will use ATG gun because I did not like the way the
glue wet the fibers in the cardstock and made it bow out some.


Have a Wonderful & Crafty Day!

Hugs, Eva :0)

Wild Card - Christmas Tree Card




Sorry the inside is blurry, it say's
"Wishing you a warm and Whimsical Christmas!"
So I decided to make a fold out card instead of the envelope with this one. I like the way it came out…I had to make a little sleeve to slip over it to keep it closed. I cut at 5” I blinged up the tree with some hemp cord and added red stickles to represent lights. I then dotted gold about the tree for decrorations & cut little ¾ light blue ornaments from same page. The papers I used are Green Bazzil & the patterned papers are from a page kit called Winter from Making Memories. The Happy Holidays is a sticker & also the stamps used inside the card are from my CardMaker Kit of the Month Club - Holiday Glitz.  The star I colored yellow and then dusted with gold glitter,
 which now of course is E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E!!! lol.
I am entering this over at Cricut Cardz Challenge - #85 Holiday, Anything Goes
& also at Whimsical Wednesday -Fun with Folds
Have a wonderful & Crafty Day!

Cupcake Birthday Card


Wow I did the Blog Hop this morning over at
Birthday Sundaes...it was so fun and inspiring.
Here is the card I am entering into the  Challenge,
the design team really had some great cards...I couldn't
wait to get busy on my own, now thats a great hop...lol!
I got to use my new Imagine cartridge, Better
together, on my E2.  I loved this cupcake...it's perfect.
I used my cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls folder for the top of the cupcake,
then I went over that with some pink stickles.
I cut the Candle from my new Doodlecharms Cartridge,
I then added some gold stickles to the flame.
The awesome tag & frame are from SVGCUTS, Liesl's Lacy Oval.
You can find their banner above this post, just click on it
to go check out their files...they are all awesome and a bunch
are free.  The sentiment's are from a stamp set by Hampton Art
called Foot longs, this was the cupcake set.  I also used them to stamp cupcakes on the inside.
Also the little red heart stamp is from this same set...I used red ink and then went over it with Red stickles.  The buttons are by Recollections and they are popped up.  I use my new white Gelly roll pen to dot around each scallop on the tag frame.  Oh I also used the red stickels on the cupcake's mouth.  What a fun card!  I think I will make one similar to this for my upcoming card swap.

Back To School Book Marks

Hello my crafty friends.  Here is the final project for
the Back to School items, Sorry it took me so long.
This is another great file from My Sweet Tater,
please go find her files @ My Scrappin Hens
I recieved my Doodlecharms Cartridge yesterday that
I won from Gigi over at the The Cricut Bug  during the Whimsical
Wednesday blog hop in July...It was awesome. 

So I wanted to add a little charm to these Back to
School Book Marks from my new Doodlecharms Cartridge.
I chose the apple as you can see for my charm.
I added each childs initial on their apple. There is one little girl and the rest are all boys so one got a pink ribbon, this will be her first year of school...awe...Love my Grandbabies.  So for the two
little kids I used the Book Marks with the crayon boxes and for the older two kids I chose to use the book stacks.
I hope they like all of their back to school goodies.
I find this whole set just adorable!
Thanks again MJ for your awesome designs.
before I laminated & added my embellishments
There are two more older boys I am making these for,
I just have to laminte them and I am waiting for other items
to stick in there with them so I don't waste...lol.  Woo Hoo, I got
to use my Your Story Laminator on this project...lol.

If you want to see the other 2 items that match these book marks, please scroll down in my blog to the previous 2 posts. 

Thanks for looking, if you like my blog please feel
free to follow, I love meeting new Crafty Friends.

Lunch Box Notes - Back to School

Hello Crafters, I am back again with another fun project.  This is #2 of 3 Back to school projects I am working on.  What a wonderful surprise it is to find a little note in your lunchbox from your Mom, or even from your Dad for that matter.
After I added my sentiments and Front of envelope shown
Before I added my sentiments and Back of envelope shown
 This Note Card & Envelope set are just so adorable.  I had so much fun making them.  You can write your message in by hand, stamp a cute sentiment or even use your computer to design and print your message.  I used my computer and printed mine on plain white paper.  You could also use a colored paper...pink for a girl, blue for a boy.  I chose to use my cricut...using the center point feature and cut out the square shape from my accent essentials cartridge at 2.5 inches with the real dial size on...Perfect...lol.
I then pasted it to the cute little notecard.  On one of
them I also stamped a little pink heart in my sentiment.
This is sure to put a smile on any kids face.  You could also
use this for a teacher note and even slip in a gift card for her.
(you would need to score the envelope flap just a bit higher)
So Head on over to Scrappin Hens and check out
My Sweet Tater Designs for this kit plus tons more.

I will be back with some matching Book Markers later on...
Until next time...wishing you a wonderful crafty Day!

Guess Who Says Happy Birthday Owl Box - My Sweet Tater

Can't get enough of these cute cute files from My Sweet Tater.
This one is my Fav so far...Love it!!!

Oh My Gosh Isn't this just way too cute?  I am loving these files.  All of you just hop on over to
Scrappin Hens to pick up your print and cut files
for this adorable 3x3 Box.

All I did was print it out on white cardstock, cut it out,
used my bone folder to crease the fold lines, used my hot glue
gun to glue it all together and then I just added a cute little
ribbon with a simple knot tie.  I love it!!!
here is a shot of it open with goodies in it before I added the ribbon.

Happy Birthday Tri-Fold Card & Envelope - My Sweet Tater

Another cute file from My Sweet Tater. 
I inked it up with pink but it was very cute as is.
The envelope that matches is wonderful.  You can add text before you print it out but I am not sure yet who it is going to so I will just add labels to it later. 


Here is the matching envelope...So stinkin' Cute
