Be My Valentine!

Hi Everyone, Amy here. I had a blast creating these Valentine Boxes! I just love cutting on my Sizzix Eclips and assembling but have to say had just as much fun embellishing these with my Creative Charms.

I started with the boxes - they are from SVG Cuts ~ Bundle of Joy SVG Kit ~ Baby Block Box. I had room on the mat for the square accent pieces and cut everything and mixed them up. I assembled using my hot glue gun - my go to tool for 3D projects.


I then started to embellish with Creative Charms. I added some stamped images from Punkin’ Patch Stamps. They offer SVGs called Stampables. You cut them and stamp them. Have to say they are fun. I colored some of the stamped images in with my Copic Markers.

Here are the details of each box:

1 ~ Creative Charms Gradient Pearls ~ LOVE Stamp from Punkin’ Patch Stamps
2 ~ CC Gradient Gems ~ Be Mine from SVG Cuts, 24 Valentines
3 ~ Felt Hearts from CC ~ XOXO Stamp from PP Stamps
4 ~ Vintage Velvet Poppie in Pastel Pink from Creative Charms ~ Love Struck from PP Stamps
5 ~ CC Braided Daisy Medley in Pink ~ U.R. Cool from PP Stamps
6 ~ Felt Hearts from Creative Charms

Papers are from Basic Grey ~ Kissing Booth & Bo Bunny

If you have some special Valentines ~ make them a little box and fill with goodies, jewelry or something special!

Romantic Cards

 

Hi, it's Diane today with a couple of cards to share.  It's already the middle of January and Valentine's Day will be here before you know it.  Adding just a few Creative Charms embellishments to your valentines will make your cards even more special.

This cheerful card has two colors of Groovy Petals string flowers layered with a single brad.  I used the Fancy Polka Dot Ribbon as a trim along the sides of the floral cardstock, allowing just one row of dots to show.

This card is a little more formal but still light and fresh.  I added pink Gradient Pearl Stickers in alternating sizes to the outer ring of hearts, the smallest clear Gradient Gem Stickers to the pink ring of hearts and a red Vintage Velvet Poppy in the center.

A few strategically placed gem stickers give your card the extra sparkle to make it perfect for a special occasion.  Have you started on your Valentine's Day cards yet?

Christmas Tags & Gift Box

Hi everyone, Amy McCabe here. I made a Matchbox with Tags as a gift for a crafty friend. The Creative Charms embellishments were the perfect touch and I used quite a few different ones on my tags.

Here is my box - it is a matchbox style. The poinsettia is embellished with Gradient Pearls. The box is from SVG Cuts Crisp Days of Fall Kit.

The box slides open and inside I have three tags perfect for Christmas gifts.

The first tag is my Santa Tag. I used Gradient Gems to accent the Santa image. Santa paper and background paper is from BoBunny.

The second tag is my Red & Green Tag. The Vintage Jewel Brads were a perfect fit for this tag. I did some embossing of the AC Cardstock.

Last but not least is my Snowman Tag. I used the Vintage Christmas Self-Adhesive Metal Frames for this one.
I cut the snowman along with all the other images on my Cricut using SCAL.
The snowman is actually a freebie from SVG Cuts.

These were so fun to put together - I think I may put together a bunch more as little gifts for crafty friends!

Thanks So Much!!

It is always nice to thank someone who has helped you, gifted you, or just plain was there when you needed them with a Thank You card. I know I always enjoy receiving them.  I used one of my favorite Creative Charms flowers to adorn this card, the Multi Layered Organza flower in blue.  It is such a soft looking flower and so very pretty!  I also used a MS edge punch on the Bo Bunny Double Dot CS and accented the flowers in the punch with the Gradient Pearl stickers in white.  The "lace" ribbon is actually a paper ribbon that I colored with ink to match the card and the stamped sentiment is from Stampin Up. 

Vintage Charm

Creative Charms has so many vintage cool embellishments for your pages.  I love mixing them all up and really giving my pages that one of a kind look.  For this layout I layered the Vintage Velvet Poppies with the Make It Yourself Vintage Metal Frames. The frames are wonderful because no matter what paper collection you are using, you can make it match perfectly....they're just the greatest thing.  I used some stickers from the same paper collection and viola.....custom brads.  I also added some subtle detail using the Gradient Pearls along the tips of my base die cut paper and some on my title. 

All of the Vintage collection just blends so well together the possibilities are endless. Here is another project I made using the Make It Yourself Frames...I topped it off with a pearl and it gives it a whole other look.

 

Hugs, 

Guess What...

Hi! Arlene here, absolutely thrilled to become a Creative Charms DT member! I've been peeking here in awe with all of the talented ladies here, have you been enjoying seeing all of the products being showcased so beautifully? I have!

My assignment for today is "Deal of The Month". When I got my package and saw all of the magnificent bling, I almost fell out of my chair. I have to say that I love the quality. I was able to take the bling off the packaging without the bling separating from the glue, (am I the only one who dislikes when that happens?) and I love how the colors are packaged. I made 2 cards:

supplies used:
Gradient Gems in Pink, Polka Dot Ribbon in Blue

using the Gradient Gem stickers as accents really made little details that could go un-noticed really pop. Ready to see another project?

 supplies used:
Gradient Pearl Stickers in Assorted, Polka Dot Ribbon in Blue  These pearls are sooo pretty! I need more! I'm not sure if this will remain a card or if I'll be framing this to display somewhere. I LOVE this ribbon, I really loved layering them. So very pretty! I hope I've inspired you to get blingy with the May Deal of The Month.

All Blinged out!

Arlene

Happy Mother's Day!

I would like to wish all you mom's a Happy Mother's Day!  This is a card I made for my beautiful daughter to celebrate Mother's Day.  She will be coming up with her family to spend the weekend.  We have a wonderful dinner planned and a trip to the zoo with the girls.  This card was made using the Gradient Pearl stickers from the Deal of the Month (you get an awful lot of bling in this deal!) and the Layered Vintage Flowers from the Vintage Poppies collection. The CS and DP is from CTMH and the tag stamp and punch is from SU.  Have a wonderful Mother's Day!

Flowered Frames and Boxes for Mother's Day

Hi, it's Diane and I have a few gift ideas to share with you today.  Mother's Day is just around the corner so these are quick and easy projects that are perfect for giving.  I have been making lots of flowers lately  and using them to decorate frames and boxes.

You can hand cut spiral shapes from circles to make the flowers, however, if you have a Cricut machine and the "Mickey and Friends" cartridge, there is a spiral shape that is just right for these rolled flowers.  There is a very detailed explanation on how to make the flowers on my personal blog, Capadia Designs, at THIS POST. 

The flowers are pretty when they are rolled up and hot glued together but they do look a little bit plain.

Adding a Gradient Gem Brad to the center of each flower brings the flowers to life!

I hot glued flowers in an assortment of sizes and colors to the bottom of an acrylic table frame.  A calendar or a photo could be placed on the mat which was cut with a Spellbinders Nestability die.

 I used the same type of flower, cut from pastel papers, to decorate a small gift box.

 I used Gradient Pearl Stickers in pink for the centers of these flowers.  The small Sparkled Butterfly is a nice accent to the box top.

I used different sizes of pearls to fit the flowers.  I always appreciate getting three sizes on one sheet of stickers - you often need to use several sizes to make your project.

This sweet frame was so quick and easy to make.  I found these plain white frames at IKEA for 99 cents.

 

The Blue Knitted Flowers were just the thing to add to the frame to personalize it.  These flowers are also part of the May Kit of the Month.

This small gingham butterfly from the Kit of the Month adds a finishing cheerful touch.  I used some more Gradient Pearl Stickers to form the butterfly body.  The butterfly is part of the Knitter's Garden - Orange Flowers and Butterfly set.

I think the blue and white combination is so fresh and pretty!

Here is one more card that I made a while ago - I wanted to share it since the Knitted Strawberries it features are also part of the May Kit of the Month. 

You can check my blog, Capadia Designs, for more details on any of these projects.  I hope that you feel inspired to embellish your flowers.  Have a great week!

A Purse For Mom

We are getting ready for Mom’s Day at our house. We have purses to make for our Mom’s and for my son’s Godmothers.

This features Green & White Fancy Polka Dot Ribbon, Gradient Gems & Sequin Trimmed Butterfly.

This purse features Gradient Pearls & the Pink Vintage Brad was a perfect accent for the flower.

A Bag, Tag & Take Out Box

Well my Valentine’s projects are complete and now I am moving on to the next holiday...St Patrick’s Day. Here are some projects I created using Sure Cuts Alot. Files are from SVG Cuts (just joined their design team). Creative Charms are so versatile - they look great on any project for any holiday!
St Patty’s Day Take Out Box

Papers - AC Cardstock & Bo Bunny Dot


Rosette Tag
Rosettes are super fun to make and a Vintage Poppie in the middle really finishes this one off quite nice. I also used Creative Charms Vintage Jewels & Gradient Pearls. Papers from AC Cardstock.


Irish Gift Bag

Sweet Treats for Valentine’s Day

I tried to think “outside the box” on this Creative Charms Project.

Some of my fellow CC Designers have really come up with creative ideas to use CC products. I decided to work them into my Valentine treats.

I cut these Cupcake Wrappers and Toppers on my Cricut using Sure Cuts Alot (SCAL). The files are from SVG Cuts (I was recently invited to join their design team). Papers by Bo Bunny.

Here is a peek at each wrapper and topper and details on the Creative Charms products used.
For the first one I used Gradient Pearls.




This one features Vintage Jewels , Gradient Gems & Vintage Poppies.


For this wrapper & topper I used Gradient Pearl Stickers & Vintage Pearl Brads.


This last one would be perfect for a Princess Party! I used Vintage Jewels & Gradient Gems.

Thanks for stopping by & hope you have a Happy/Crafty Valentine’s Day!

Amy
