Christmas Matchboxes

My oldest son wanted matchboxes to take to school at Christmas time to give to all of his classmates. So these are what we came up with.

We decided to make them look like presents and sealed them with a kiss :)

I used the Stampin' Up! matchbox die to make these and it also cuts out the little labels so we used them to label them all.

Red with Green Ribbon, it was a satin Ribbon from Paper Trey Ink.

Green with Red Ribbon, Pure Poppy is the color of the ribbon, from Paper Trey Ink.

Lots of boxes!!

And of course a special one for his teacher!! I used Graphic 45's Nutcracker Sweet paper to make the box and the Rosette. The kiss seals the Rosette and then there's a star stick pin stuck in behind it.

Sorry this is blurry, I was trying to get some quick pics with my phone before he left with them.

A view of the side.

I hope you all enjoyed seeing these!! I would have liked to do more to them but he asked me to do them like 2 days before his class party. So I did what I could with the time given :)

Thanks for looking!!!!

Happy Crafting!!!!

Ice Cream Card

I am so proud of this card!!! I had an overwhelming sense of accomplishment when I finished this project. I made this card for Fantabulous Cricut's Challenge Me Monday Contest. The challenge was to make a project incorporating ice cream, cold drinks or just any cool treat. It took me a couple days to get it right but I finally got it finished up last night and so I wanted to share it with you all today!!! I started with a 5.5"x8.5" piece of card stock folded in half for the base of my card. It was a piece of brown from The Paper Company's Natural Fashion Colors value pack. Then I cut a piece of dark orange from the same pack at 5 1/4" x 4" and used it for my first layer on the card. I attached it using my ATG gun. Then I used a piece of paper from DCWV Animal Crackers matstack and cut the bowl. The bowl is from the Cricut cartridge "Create a Critter" and I cut it at 3" using the real dial size button. Also from this cartridg

Danger ATC

This is an Artist Trading Card (ATC) that I created for the Diemond Dies' Design Team Call. The background is a couple different mixed media techniques, mod podging tissue paper with lots of wrinkles in it and then stamping on top of it. Then I used some Shimmerz Texturez to add even more texture and then some gray gesso is added in there too. I used some corrugated cardboard to add some texture and then I used the Tim Holtz Tattered Banners Die and Bat & Skull dies for my embellishments. On the bat I covered it with haematite Inka Gold, buffed it and then adhered it with 3-D Dots. The skull I gessoed, colored it with my Faber Castell Big Brush Pens and then used some Shimmerz Texturez to put the "cracks" on it. This is one of my favorite ATCs that I have ever made. I hope you enjoyed it too!! Happy Crafting!!!!

Frisky Melon!!

I made this card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog's Challenge Me Monday Contest!! Yay!! I started with a piece of pink cardstock cut at 5 1/2"x 8 1/2" and folded it in half for the base of my card. This was from one of The Paper Company's value packs. Then I cut a piece of black cardstock, also from The Paper Company, at 5 1/4"x 4" and used it as my first layer. I attached this using my ATG gun. For my second layer I cut a piece of paper from the Colorbok Pattern Pack at 5"x 3 3/4". I then wrapped a piece of grosgrain ribbon around it and secured it in the back using regular tape. Then I attached the whole thing using my ATG gun. I cut the watermelon at 4" using the "Stretch Your Imagination" cartridge with my Cricut Expression. I used a black, pink and green paper, all were from The Paper Company value packs. I attached it to the card using 3D-Dots. Then to finish off this card I added a My Pink St
