WYEGW - Use Tag Feature or Stickles

 Hello my crafty friends!!! 
Welcome back and thank you

for visiting.For this weeks
Would You Ever Guess Wednesday,

we were asked to use the tag feature
or to use stickles.  Now, I thought that I had
signed up to use the tag feature, so I made
a tag using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge.

Then when I looked at the sign up sheet,
I realized that I had actually signed up to
use stickles!!  Well it is a good thing I used
plenty of stickles too...LOL.

Once again this post is very picture heavy!!

So, I was reminded on one of the blogs that I follow
about the chipboard tags that came with the
Art Philosophy bundle, so I decided to use
one of them this week.

A friend of mine had knee replacement surgery
back in March, and her recovery has been very slow. 
She is finally feeling better and I will be
meeting her for lunch today, so I thought
I would make her a little gift.

Here is a sneak peak!  This beautiful flower was
cut with the flower petal die from My Creative Time,
I added  glimmer mist, stickles, and a
glitter brad in the center..

I started by cutting out Tag 5 and the layer from
page 70 from Art Philosophy at 4".

All the paper for this project is from
My Minds's Eye "Fiddlesticks" 6 x 6 paper pad.

The sentiment is also from My Creative Time,
Floral Sentiments stamp set.

I added some Martha Stewart glitter

embossing powder in Sugar Cube.

I distressed the paper

using Tim Holtz Distress Ink

in Milled Lavendar and Antique Linen.

I added lots of bling using stickles in

Lavendar, Diamond and Platnium. 

The butterfly was from my stash.

Next I cut the Treat Bag from page 39 of

Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2

at 11" I used plain lavendar paper to cut the box

and then covered it with pieces

from the MME Fiddlesticks pack.

 I cut this tag from the
Spellbinders Fancy Tags die,
which I then embossed and stenciled. 
The sentiment was put together
using K Andrews "Winters Wishes" stamp set. 
I also embossed using the MS Glitter
Embossing powder,

you can't see it in the picture,
but it is very sparkly.

These flowers were cut using the

Rolled Flower Die from My Creative Time.

The back was kind of plain,
so that is where I stuck the tag!!!
For the bow on the tag
and the handle on the bag,
I used a piece of lace trim
that I had.  It was white,
so I inked it with the
Antique Linen Distress Ink
to gived it an aged look.

I filled the treat bag with Dove Chocolates

because there are my friend's favorite!!

Please be sure to stop by My Cricut Craft Room,

I am entering this in the following challenges:

Scrap Creations - Bingo Challenge

Heart 2 Heart Challenges - Distressing

Christmas Countdown - 3D Object

Today is April 25th, and that means

Christmas Countdown

over at My Cricut Craft Room.

This month we were challenged

with making a 3D object.

I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 to

make 2 little treat boxes today.

Here is a sneak peek:

This first box was made with the

Cone Box on page 63.

This was cut at 9", I used the

scoring tool to score the lines

before cutting.

I used Coordinations Glittter cardstock.

This was a fairly easy project.

I think I got it done in about an hour.

I embossed the tree with the

Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folder.

I added different colored

gems for the decorations

on my Christmas Tree.

I added a topper made with ribbon.

The tag and sentiment

are from My Creative Time

Teeny Tag Greetings.

This box has a little loop at the top

so it would be great to fill with candy

an hang on your own tree!!

Although I am not happy with the way this

project came out, I am still

going to show it to you!!

This box was cut at 5.5" from page 47.

The paper is DCWV.

The phrase was cut at 1"

I could not get the extra snowflake piece

to line up properly!!

This month I made 4 different projects using 4 different cartridges.

So just a heads up, this is a long post with lots of pictures!!!

This first card was made with the Cotton Candy cut

from the County Fair cartridge.

This cartridge has some really fun

Fair related cuts on it!!

The cotton candy and all the layers were cut at 4".

It is mounted on an action wobble.
I used glitter paper for the top layer
of the cotton candy and then
embossed it using the Divine Swirls folder.

This cute sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's "Sweetest Cupcakes" stamp set.

This next card is from the adorable Ole' Cartridge.

Being hispanic, this was a must have

cartridge for me!!  I made

this adorable birthday

card for my mom.

Her birthday was this past week

She is mounted on an action wobble

so she can dance the night away!!
She was cut at 4.5".
The border frame
was cut at 5".

The lovely senorita has a mole on her

cheek just like my mom!!

I used Peachy Keens Laughy Taffy stamp set.

I used the Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folder on her hair.

For those of you that do not speak spanish

(ha, I don't either...LOL)

This says Feliz Cumpleanos, which

means Happy Birthday!!
This was cut at 2".

This next card was made using the

Nifty Fifties cartridge.

I just love this poodle cut!!

I think it is my favorite of all the poodle cuts.

My spoiled dog #2 Jasmine is

a minature poodle.

I used my gypsy to weld the

base image together to

make a shaped card.
the base was cut at 5.5"

The poodle was cut at 5.5".

I used the swiss dots Cuttlebug embossing folder

on the body and the divine swirls

on the fur.  I also added some Diamond

Stickles to the swirls.  I gave her

a diamond collar and toenails!!

The sentiment is from the K Andrews

"All About Animals" stamp set.
I am entering this card in the Simply Sunday
Challenge over at Getting Cricky and
Celebrate the Occasion

This last project is my overall favorite!!

I made this beautiful box from

Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2.

It is the Bride Box cut at fit to page,

which cut at 8.75".  I also used

the scoring blade to score the lines.

I added crystal accents to the bodice.

some black ribbon and a white paper rose

I had in my stash.  I inked the edges of

the rose with black ink and dipped it in glitter.

 On the bottom of the dress I used a crystal border

and this beautiful flower ribbon.
