Cupcake Gift Cards and Triangle box - 3-D Wednesday

Good morning!!!  Today is 3-D Wednesday at My Creative Time.
I made 3 projects for you to take a look at.  One IS 3-D and 2 are kind of 3-D.
My first project is Cupcake with a Gift Card Holder inside!  This took quite a bit of work with my Gypsy and the Create-a-Critter Cart.  I used my new favorite 6x6 pad from the Joann website.  It is called "Happy Day" by Simple Stories.  I'm not sure if it is a new pad or not.




 Second, I made a triangle box from the TBBM 2 cartridge.  It was cut out first at 7.5".  Then I scored it using the scoring blade on medium pressure.  I traced one of the sides and hand cut out the triangle layers.  The cupcake for this box was cut at 1.5".

The cupcake for this Gift Card Holder was cut at 2"

My Creative Time Products:

 Supplies Used:

Scarlet Jewel and Dark Chocolate Cardstock - Papertrey Ink
Chocolate Chip Ribbon  -  Stampin Up
Peeled Paint Distress Ink
Black Tuxedo Ink  -  Memento
Pop Dots and Score Tape

 I hope you liked my projects for today!  Tomorrow I will be back for MCT's New Throwback Thursday Challenge.  Please go take a look at all the creations over on Emma's Blog for 3D Wednesday.  Thank you for stopping by.
Love and Hugs,
Cathryn :)

Wedding Tags with Wrap It Up

Hello my friends!  Today is a gorgeous day on Long Island!  Sunny and 65 degrees.  I couldn't ask for any better.  We have had the 3rd warmest winter on record.  What a relief from last years 70 inches of snow!!!  I hope the weather is beautiful where you are today!

Well anyway today I have Wedding tags I made for some gift baskets.  I used the new Ribbon Cutter from Imaginesce for the satin ribbon.  LOVE!!!  It worked beautifully. I got it at Michaels today in the ribbon isle with a coupon for 14.99.  I think it is well worth it to eliminate those frayed edges!!

I used My Creative Time's "My Journaling" stamp set for the back of the tags.

  


Supplies I Used:
My Journaling stamp set  -  My Creative Time
Wrap It Up Cricut Cartridge for tag cut at 5"
Paper was all from my scraps

Throwback Thursday Challenge with My Creative Time - Birthday Candle Card

Hello everyone!  Today is a new Throwback Thursday Challenge over at My Creative Time.   This time there are no cricuts allowed.  You can use dies and punches!  It's amazing how often I automatically turn on my cricut.   I made few cards before I realized I used it for one of the layers!!!  So I made another one without using my machine!
Supplies I Used:
Lost and Found Two, Breeze  -  My Minds Eye
Ocean Tides and Vintage Cream Cardstock  -  Papertrey Ink
Fiskars Border Punch
Stormy Sky Distress Ink
Memento Black Tuxedo Ink
Offray Ribbon

 I got the idea to use a birthday candle from a newsletter I received.  Unfortunately when my email was hacked last month everything was erased.  I apologize for not being able to give credit.

Here are some of the other cards I made using the Cricut Cartridge Elegant Edges for the layers.


Supplies:
Lost and Found Two, Blush  -  My Minds Eye
The Guy Stack  -  DCWV
White Out Collection  -  We R Memory Keepers
Vintage Cream, Sweet Blush, New Leaf and Kraft Cardstock  -  Papertrey Ink
Mandarin and Shore Twine  -  The Twinery

Please go check out Emma's blog for all of the design teams "Cricutless" projects and don't forget to link up and play along!  Have a great day!
Love and Hugs,
Cathryn :)
