Wedding Congratulations

Wedding Congratulations

This past weekend we attended the wedding of a lovely bride and her groom. The bride and her family have been friends with ours for many years, in fact, she and her brother were both in my mothers sunday school class (Geez, I think I'm showing my age so we will move on...quickly :)

I made a card for her from one of my favorite stamp sets, Wedding Wishes from Jaded Blossom and did the colors in purple since that was one of her wedding colors.  Used a heavy cardstock and some pattern paper that I bought at a local craft store.  Added some stickles and small rhinestones

(which you can buy at my store) www.creativecutterscorner.com

I have been hoping to expand my vinyl useage so a friend helped show me how to do a wedding frame for the couple.  Hope to many more in the months to come.  Aren't friends great testers of our beginning projects! After all, they can't complain if they don't like it since it's a gift...lol  Thanks to Erin and Jaime for helping me with this.

Next blog I will be showing a baby vinyl project.  Thanks so much for looking.  Happy Crafting....Carolyn



Final St Patricks & Easter Treats

Final St Patricks & Easter Treats

I did my first spring craft fair this weekend and it wasn't too bad.  Would have made more profit if my husband hadn't bought me a "Miche" purse for my birthday this week.  Oh well, still made enough to make it worth my trip there.  I'm going to post a bunch of items on this blog post.  Alot of them don't have as much bling as I would like due to quanitity that I had to make but sold well as Easter Basket stuffers.  Also sold some handmade baby cards and my Magnolia cards which I colored with Copics. 

A variety of supplies were used in these projects, but of course, one of my favorite is the Jaded Blossom stamps for Easter.  I will mark those pics that used their stamps, they are just amazing!  Other items I carry in my online scrapbook supply store, please visit us at Creative Cutters Corner and join our Facebook page and blog too if you aren't a follower, we would sure like to have you.  Now on to the fun...

Easter Treats 2

Easter Treats 2

Back again with another Easter Treat...Yes, I know...I do alot of these tube treats, but they are so cute and sell so well at the craft fairs.  If I do them for family or close friends children, I do add more "bling". But for mass quantities I keep it more simple.

List of supplies used on this one:  Paper and Cardstock by Paper Studios, Stamps and Tag Die by Jaded Blossom, Brach's Robins Eggs Jelly Beans, and Pastel Easter M&M's,  Quickutz Die (Chick), Zig Glue, Tacky Tape (On Sale Now) , Orange Momento Ink and 1x8 bags which can be purchased in my store Creative Cutters Corner and some Orange Glitter Tulle I purchased at Hobby Lobby.

A project first will be posted tomorrow. It's so cute (still on a learning curve but think it turned out ok) so check back tomorrow for that item.

Be blessed everyone

Easter Treats #1

Easter Treats #1

Well, I promised to post more treats and was able to take a few pictures last night.  Still have 2 more projects to post, and several more to make.  Why oh why do I wait until the last minute to do these things for craft fairs...OH I KNOW...I wanted to use the new releases from Jaded Blossom so I got a late start. It was worth the wait though, because this last die they made is now one of my favorites! (Along with several others)

Now on to the project: Of course,  Jaded Blossom  new Easter Stamp set, and a Quickutz die, 1x8 bags, tacky tape (on sale now), and zig glue which you can find in my online store at Creative Cutters Corner.  Sorry the colors didn't turn out as well as I hoped.  It is dark chocolate, and pink dotted swiss paper from Hobby Lobby and Pink Glitter Tool from HL too.

I filled half of the tubes with pastel Easter M&M's, and the other half with Brach's Robins Eggs Jelly Beans...

Check tomorrow for another treat...

Happy Crafting

St. Patricks Day Treats #1

St Patricks Day Treats #1

Hey, everyone...hope everyone is doing well.  I have had good intentions on posting more often, but so far I'm not doing such a good job.  I have made tons of stuff since Valentines Day but never have posted anything.  This item is alittle lacking on the bling, but since I made so many for a craft fair, I didn't bling it up as much as I would like.  This is just one of the items that I am making for St. Patricks Day, I hopefully will post more this week.  Of course, I used Jaded Blossom stamps, Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge, and 2 Quickutz-Lifestyle Crafts dies which you can find in my store on sale at Creative Cutters Corner 

Come see us this Saturday, March 9th from 9:00-3:00 at St. Francis Church in Dover, TN (between the McDonalds and BP). Lots of goodies will be available for your St. Patricks Day Holiday, and of course, for Easter Basket Stuffers for those little ones, and ones for Sunday School and church as well.

Happy Crafting....

Hello Kitty Valentine

Finally finished doing my great niece's valentines last night.  I had been looking for the past year for the "Hello Kitty" Cricut cartridge but didn't want to give my firstborn to get it. The prices for used cartridges were just out of this world.  I was lucky enough to have someone offer to sell me their cartridge before listing it. Thanks to Candace Palfrey for that referral. 

My little niece has always loved "Hello Kitty" so I surprised her by making her Valentines with the new cartridge.  She wanted boxes of candy so in order to make it easy, I just cut a shape and attached the box to the back of the Valentine with hot glue (you do know that hot glue and duct tape can do anything).  For this project I used:

Cricut Hello Kitty Cartridge

Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Silver Stickles

Colored Cardstock

and of course

Jaded Blossom Valentine's Stamps



I have a few more custom Valentines to do tonight then it's on to St. Patricks and Easter stuff for an upcoming craft fair.  Come see me in Dover, TN at St. Francis Catholic Church on Saturday March 9th.  Custom Easter items will be available.  (Of course, I have to wait for my new Easter stamps from Jaded Blossom

Love Is In The Air

Love Is In The Air...Candy Love that is!!  Created a few more Valentine Treats that will be for sale and also used for my daughter's bus kids.  Just love doing these things.  This time however, I used a variety of supplies from more than one stamping provider.  So lets get started...

This first treat was created using Jaded Blossom Valentines Stamps, the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge, and my white gel pen.  So proud of myself for finally figuring out how to use the Bow Easy (thanks to a wonderful You Tube Video)  gracious knows I can't do one without it :) 

Also used the clear bags  and Doodlebug twine that I carry in my store at Creative Cutters Corner 

This idea came from a freebie tutorial that I received when I ordered my JB Stamps. So simple and cute.

These pencil treats are a great substitution for people who don't want to give candy too.  The stamps I purchased from My Creative Time.

Still have a few more Valentine Treats to make tonight for my wonderful great niece and a few custom orders.  Hope you have a blessed day and lots of crafting fun. 

Owl Valentine

Hoo's My Valentine<

Another Valentine treat made with Jaded Blossom stamps and die.  Have a few more in the works for my daughters bus kids.  Really simple but think it turned out pretty cute.

Check back tomorrow for a few more treats. 

Happy Scrapping...Carolyn

Valentine Treats for Alyssa

Valentines Treats for Alyssa

I spent the last few nights and part of this past weekend, working on my little great niece's valentines treats.  She likes to assemble them herself so I did one sample and she can do the rest herself.  Since they recently relocated to Italy, she has done her room in the black and pink theme.  They hope to visit Paris while they are over there, so I did them in the Paris theme.  Can't wait to see what she thinks of them.  Now on to the project:

Supplies I used are:

Paris Themed Paper from Hobby Lobby Paper Studio Pad Pack

Jaded Blossom Valentines Stamps

Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge

3x5 plastic bags 

Hot Glue Gun

Candy

Depending on the topper, the candy I used was Hershey's Kisses, Nerds and Starburst.  These are available for sale, with or without candy.  Please contact me for details.  See us at our upcoming craft fair on March 9th at the St. Francis Catholic Church in Dover, TN   St. Patricks Day and Easter items will be available as well as the rose wreaths that have previously been posted on my blog and page. 

Hope you enjoyed the project, will be posting my other niece's Lauren's valentines soon.  Check out my website for your scrap supply needs. (Cameos, tape, glue, etc...)
Hope you have a blessed day!

Stocking Stuffer Treats

Stocking Stuffer Treats

Wow, it's been awhile since my last post but the holiday craft fair season has ended for me this year.  I am pleased with how it turned out and have gotten ideas for next year. Hope to do one in the spring here in the town where I live so I have got to get to work on Easter Stuff (can't believe I said that already).

Stocking stuffers, secret santa, and co-workers gifts were my best sellers again this year.  Along with the 2 rose flower wreaths I managed to get together to sell.  (Guess what we will be working on for next year).

Here are a few of my favorite stocking stuffers for this year. Still time to get yours, just contact me at creativecutterscorner@yahoo.com if you would like to order anything.  Of course, my favorites all used Jaded Blossom stamps.  I used them on the Grinch treats, Snowman Kisses, Rudolph spares, and not pictured here is the Reindeer Food. 

 

Hopefully, I will get around to posting a few more times before Christmas. But just in case...hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas.  Be sure and take time to tell those around you that you love them.

Turkey Time Treats

Turkey Time Thanksgiving Treats

Wow, it's been a busy few months getting ready for craft fair season. I've had two fairs already and four more in the coming months.  Have to make time for Thanksgiving dinner at my house for about 13 people...hope they are up to the challenge of going around the maze of craft stuff because Lord knows if I put it up, I'll never find it all again :) 

One of the treats I have been selling at craft fairs is the M&M sticks.  The turkey ones were made with the special edition candy corn M&M's and the others with the Harvest Blend M&M's.  They were a big hit with the customers. Alot of people are placing them on their plates as a gift for family and friends.  All of the stamps came from Jaded Blossom, I just love their stamps!  The circles were cut with the Art Philosophy Cartridge, and the turkey shape backing from the Cricut Elegant Edges Cartridge.

If you are interested in ordering some for your holiday please contact me in the next 2 days and we can work out a rush order.

 If I don't post again before next week, I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.  Take time to enjoy family and friends this whole holiday season as we never know if we have the promise of tomorrow.  Be Blessed!



Wedding Wishes

Wedding Wishes

It's been awhile since I have posted.  Been busy working on craft fair stuff for the 5 upcoming fairs I will be a vendor at.  One of the requests I have been getting is for sets of cards to use for occasions, thank you cards, etc..  So last week I was on a real roll and made 20 cards in a few hours.  The stamp is from Jaded Blossom-Wedding Wishes Stamp Set, card was from DCWV. Then of course, had to add a little sparkle with Stickles which you can buy at my store at www.creativecutterscorner.com

Hope you enjoy them!



Birthday Card

A Simple Birthday Card

Got on a roll last night and cleaned off my scrapbook table in order to mess it up again :)  After a while of working, it gets to where I get frustrated just trying to find things on it.  Almost forgot about doing a birthday card for my daughter's co-worker.  So I stopped and did a quick put together.  The supplies I used are really simple...just a scalloped oval Spellbinder die, a blank card base, a scrap of paper for the oval, a generic flower and velvet brad, some stickles (you can buy that in my store-see quick link on right of blog) and of course a Jaded Blossom stamp (Simple Sayings), and the tag die is from Jaded Blossom also.

Simple and Sweet

Tomorrow I will be going to the 4-H Tractor and craft fair here in Clarksville TN. If you are out Rossview High School area, drop in and pick up a few goodies for those Halloween Little Ones.  Just go past Rossview about a mile and a half you will see the 4-H Pavilion on the left.

Hope to see you there.

Halloween Suckers

Halloween Suckers

Halloween is just around the corner and I didn't have but the one craft fair two weeks ago where I could take "Halloween Creations".  Luckily, I received a call this past Monday and am now being a vendor at a local Tractor show, here in Clarksville TN...so, if you are out and about in Clarksville on Saturday, Sept 29th from 9-4, come on by the 4-H Pavilion past Rossview and load up on Halloween goodies.  I have had to do them really quick, so they are basic but cute.  The paper is from DCWV and the stamp is from Jaded Blossom, die cut from My Creative Time for Me. I just cut the scallops out with my scallop punch and then stamped, colored the Jaded Blossom stamp, added a little "sparkle" with stickles (you can buy them at my store-see store link on the side of this page-category Embellishments)

Thanks for looking...have a blessed day...
