Christmas in July - Treats and Favors

Hello,

Today is day 2 of my guest design for Giselle's from www.crossmyheartpapercraft.blogspot.com Christmas in July hop. For this project we where asked to create a favor box that can be used for your Chritmas events.

I created this box last Christmas for my sons teachers as well as for a Christmas Party in which I was in charge of a the takeaway favors. This favor is not a traditional small favor it's actually a larger favor box which has become a trend of the past few years in the party planning world. Lately most favors at parties are usually dessert favors and so they have become more elaborate. This box can be filled with pretty much anything you like with 4 compartments to house all your treats. When I did these favors last year I filled them with hot cocoa, christmas cookies, Christmas candies, and mint lollipops they where a hit.

Supplies:

2 12x12 cardstock
2 12wx12 coordinating paper
Elastic to close the box and wrap with ribbon
3-4 types of coordinating wired ribbon for top of box.
I used Winter Frolic cartirdge to cut both trees that where used on opposite sides of the box.
Stickles to create the glitter effect which match the shiny ribbon.
Red Tissue Paper

I will post a tutorial of the box next week so stay tuned.

Hope you enjoy

Christmas in July!!! Side Step Card

Good Morning,

Hope you had a fanatastic weekend!!!
Today I am guest designer for Giselle from Cross my Heart Papercrafts and Nadia from Nadias Beautiful Mess for there Christmas in July feature which is from July 18th - 24th each day is a different project. I was asked to create a Chirstmas card for today and so I decided to try a new card so I made a Side Step Card. This was my first time making this card and it was super simple and I totally love this type of card. I can't wait to make more side step cards.

I will post instructions on how to make the card in a future post.
my inspiration for this card was the pink snowflake ribbon which has a mini rhinestones in the center and is beautiful. I decided to create a pink and green christmas card kinda of grinch style colors. I used the Winter Frolic cartiridge to cut the ornaments, tree and present boxes.

Here is my project:

Sorry if the quality isn't so great my camera is still broken. But I will try and get better pictures and repost.

Hope you enjoyed it and stop by and make sure you head to Giselle at http://crossmyheartpapercrafts.blogspot.com/ or Nadia at http://nadiasbeautifulmess.blogspot.com/ for so more great inspirations.

Have a great day :)

Pinkalicious Birthday Blog Hop

Hello,

I would like to welcome you all to my blog and My Pinkalicious Birthday Celebration Blog Hop!!!! My official birthday was July 3rd but since it was a holiday we had to wait to do the hop. I would like to thank all the wonderful, talented crafty gals who are participating in this hop and taking the to celebrate with me!!! This is hop is going to be full of lots of inspiration and some rocking projects. So please take the time to visit all the blogs and show the gals some bloggy love!!! So if you are here to hop or just stopping by please stay a while and enjoy the celebration :) The theme of this hop was create something using my favorite color combination Pink, Black & White....

Here is my project:

I decided to do an entire gift set for this hop using the same color palette and design throughout. I used Birthday bash to create the present boxes on the front of the card. I used the same paper from the present boxes to wrap the candle and make the box. I created the favor box using tags, bags boxes and more, I then wrapped the box in the same paper as the candle and added the flowers and matching ribbon to tie the entire gift set togther.

Sorry for the lack of pics but my camera broke and my email or phone where not corporating!
