LET IT SNOW FOR TREATS!!!

Well, here is my first attempt with the Post-It Full Adhesive Paper.




LET IT SNOW TIN CAN FOR TREATS!

This project was made with the Post-It Craft Paper Full Adhesive paper. This was easy, but also a challenge as I didn't plan for the lid not going on as easy as I would like due to the thickness of the paper. But, I got it done.

Supplies:



White, Glacier, and Cobalt Post-It Craft Paper Full Adhesive

Cuddlebug Snowflake Folder

Martha Stewart Double Lace Punch

Light Blue and Cobalt Blue Ribbon

2 1/2"X4 1/2" Christmas Tin from Michael's

Cricut Christmas Cartridges

Cricut My World Cartridge

White Craft Paint

Glitter

White Pigment Ink Pen by Signo

Hole Punch

Glue Pen



Recipe:

Paint the lid white and let it dry.



Cut a piece of the Cobalt paper the size of the Tin, peel the backing off and wrap it around the Tin. It stayed on with no problem. It was easy to remove several times to get it to go around the circle just right and then adhere back again.



Cut strip the lengh from the top to the bottom of the Tin from shiny white paper with Martha Stewart punch and adhere to Tin. (This is to cover the seam).

Cut the snowflakes using various Christmas Cartridges. Use the Post-It White paper for the snowflakes and Glacier paper for behind some of them. After cutting take off backing and adhere.



Turn some of the snowflakes over and put glitter on the sticky side. It worked well. Then adhere those to the Tin using glue pen.



Cut a circle using the Glacier Paper the size of the top of the Tin using the My World Cartridge.



Run the circle through the Cuttlebug using the Snowflake Folder. Peel the backing off of the circle and adhere it on the Tin lid.



Make a tag and write "Let It Snow" on it with the White Pen.



Punch a hole in the tag and tie both ribbons through it. Then tie a small bow with the light blue ribbon and adhere it to the top of the Tin with a glue dot.



Stuff with goodies and give as a gift.

Lori's Garden Home Sweet Home!

In this Project, I used the new 3M Post-It Craft Paper that the Design Team of SweetSassyDiva Blog will use this week in their projects. 

Let me tell you this paper is fantastic...especially when making delicate cuts that you wouldn't ordinarily want to have to glue on!

Oh I am definitely going to love using this paper when cutting out intricate snowflakes and attaching to my projects. Thank you Bobbi Jo and 3M for allowing me to try it out! This wonderful paper is for sale at JoAnn's, Michael's and Amazon.com ...I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up at Walmart eventually.

RECIPE:

Cricut Imagine

Cricut Imagine Art Cartridge - Lori's Garden

3M Post-It Adhesive Craft Paper - White

2 sheets White 12x12 Card Stock

Prima Roses

Martha Stewart Glue Glitter Pens

Jolee's Flowering Branches



DIRECTIONS:



With your Cricut Imagine and the Lori's Garden cartridge print out the wording wallpaper for your background on a 12x12 piece of white cardstock (just a note- the wording is The Constitution of the United States)

Now, go into the images part of the cartridge and on your other piece of 12x12 white cardstock print and cut the lacy green border with the florals in the corner

This will cut out the center white part but I added it back as I didn't want the wording showing back through where my birds and cages were going to be. So just affix both pieces to your background

Now, I took a 8.5x12 piece of white 3M Post-It Adhesive Cardstock and print and cut the Birds, Birdcage and flowering limb and removed the backing and adhered to my project...that paper is just amazing!

I then went to altering my project....I took the Martha Stewart silver glitter glue pen and drew in the chains and metal work on the cage and bird swing...it really makes it look quite 3D in person

and you KNOW how I love glitter!

Then to really make everything pop, I added my glittered large Prima roses...and then the smaller ones...and then added the flowering branches by Jolee that I just simply adore as well.

There is green felt on the leaves of the large Prima Roses...there was just nothing in this project that I could use the cuddle bug on as all the pieces were too large to put in it. Plan on having a custom frame created for this but for now has ribbon attached to the back to hang on the wall.

Hope you liked my creation...watch for more projects made with the 3M Post-It Adhesive Craft Paper and also from the Lori's Garden Cricut Imagine Cartridge!

Joy of the Season Home Sweet Home Frame

Supplies:

8X10 Picture Frame
Red Felt Square
White, Green, Black, and Yellow Card Stock
Various Christmas and Dotted Patterned Papers
Rhinestones and Pearls
Frosted Star Button
Red Dotted 1 Inch Ribbon
Red Bazzill Edge Strips Loop Strip

Recipe:

Glue the red felt to the front of the back piece of the frame that holds the glass in. I used Martha Stewart White Glue.

Cut the white card stock about an inch bigger than the green card stock and punched it with the Martha Steward Lace Punch. Adhere it to the felt. I used large flat glue dots.

Cut the green card stock the size of the slot in the Cuttlebug so there is a little paper on each side of embossing.. I used the large Christmas Tree Folder that Cricut gave away at a meet-up I went to last Sat. (Side Note: Yippee I won a Cartridge, sorry I had to share). You could use the smaller one on the market and use a smaller frame and cuts if you don't have the larger folder.

Adhere green card stock to the white Lacy paper after embossing. It is easier to do that than after you do the next step. I just used the tape runner.

I put white pearls and rhinestones in red and green everywhere there was a circle or branch to put them on. Just put enough to get the look you want.

Place 3 white pearls on both top corners of Lacy paper. I did this to cover where the punch doesn't go well around corners.

I cut 10 Christmas Presents from the Joy of the Season Cartridge. I like dots and thought the paper went well with the rest of the dots in the project. I added red rhinestones to the front packages and used Stickles White Glitter on the bow of the larger presents for some shine.

Place two smaller presents on either side bottom of the tree and layer the others visually on the outside of the frame for dimension. I pop dotted them.

I cut the 4 train cars from the Christmas Cartridge that came out several years ago. Cut them to fit across whatever size your white Lacey paper is depending on the size picture frame, etc. that you use. I used glossy glue on yellow card stock to put a little shine in the windows of the train cars. Adhere the trains a little crooked like it's moving.

The strip across the bottom of the frame is from Bazzill Edge Strips. I just love them. Then I added pearls above each loop.

I used the Creative Memories small star punch for the star since it was the right size and easy. Then put the frosted button and a red rhinestone on the front of it. I pop dotted it.

Make a red dotted bow for the top of the frame. I staple the loops to the back of the bow as I make it. Hard to explain, but I start with the small middle loop. Then I make the first loop to the side of it by folding the ribbon to the back and when I pull leftover ribbon back to the front to make the next loop, I staple the pieces in the back together and do the same thing with all the other loops. The end of the ribbon just comes out and lays flat. Hope that's not to confusing. I used large flat glue dots to adhere to the frame.

Imagine More Christmas Cheer?

I used the “Christmas Cheer” Cricut Cartridge for the penguin and the “Imagine More” Cricut Imagine cartridge for the coloring.


I used a dotted Cuttlebug embossing folder for the white piece in the middle to remind you of snow.

I used beige felt to cover the frame.

I smeared Tacky Glue with my finger to the front of the frame, then placed the felt on top of it.

Then I smeared Tacky Glue to the back.

I used a baby wipe to easily clean my fingers and cut the felt through the hole.

Then, I used and image by Eiglas and printed it onto a transparency. I colored the back of it with markers and then sprayed it with a adhesive before attaching it to the front of the frame.

Then I made the penguin and glued him on top of the transparency.

Christmas Solutions Home Sweet Home

Hello Everyone! Hope you are having an awesome week. I made this cute Christmas Frame / Wall Hanging for the Cricut Monthly Challenge. I just love the way it came out, especially the Cheeky Christmas stamp from The Greeting Farms. This is a working frame that has an opening at the top so you can insert a photo of your family and then hang it up (or just leave it as is, which is what i am doing with this one, just as a home decor).



The SweetSassyDiva design team received some cardstock from 3M Post-It to try out and give reviews. I used some of it on this project and will most definitely be using it in future projects. It is an adhesive backed cardstock, so all of the tiny little pieces that we all hate gluing onto our projects (like eyes and mouths, etc.), we don't have to use glue anymore, we can directly take it from our mats to our projects without loosing any pieces (ok maybe it's just me that looses those tiny pieces LOL). How exciting is that!! It also works really well with the Cricut as well as the Sizzix Big Shot. I have used it three different ways in this project and will be showing you all sorts of different ways it can be used in the next few weeks. You can purchase the 3M Post-It paper at your local Joann's or Amazon.com.



Recipe:

- Medium Weight Chipboard - 2 Pieces, one for the frame and another one for the back of the frame.

- Graphic 45 Christmas Past Deluxe Edition Paper

- I used the Sizzix Big Shot and the Baroque Die by Tim Holtz for the base of my frame, but you can also use your Cricut and a cute image that is similar from the Sentimentals Cricut Cartridge.

- Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paint in Modern Red

- Ranger Aderondeck Paint Dobber in Gold

- Ranger Diamond Stickles

- Christmas Solutions Cricut Cartridge

- Prima Flowers

- Prima Bling

- Prima Lace

- Provo Craft Swiss Dots Embossing Folder

- Green Felt

- Sizzix Flowers Die (to make the leaves shape)

- Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist

- Shimmer Modge Podge - Gold

- Copic Markers

- Post It Paper by 3M in White

- The Greeting Farms Cheeky Xmas Stamp



The first thing i did was cut out my frame with my Sizzix Big Shot and the Tim Holtz Baroque die, then I painted that with the Claudine Hellmuth paint and set a side to dry. In the mean time I worked on my title for the frame using my Expression and the Christmas Solutions cartridge (this was cut at 1"), I used the 3M Post-It paper in white and then i painted over it after i cut it out with the Gold Adirondack Dobber. I really love this paper, because i don't have to use glue with it (I hate adding glue to small pieces or letters, this is truly the perfect solution for that). Once the frame was dry, i covered it with Shimmer Modge Podge to make it sturdy and to give it a very nice finished look.



I glimmer misted my Prima flowers with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, used my Sizzix to cut out felt leaves for the flower, then embossed the felt to give it a nice dimension. Used my hot glue gun to put it all together and stuck it onto my frame.



I then started to work on my Xmas Cheeky girl with my copic markers. I used the white 3M Post it Paper on her as well. The reason i did this is because i wanted to add some glitter to the back of her, because i knew she would stick out a little bit and i did not want the back to just be plain white. So, i stamped her on the non sticky side and then once i was done coloring her in, i took the backing off and sprinkled some Martha Stewart glitter on the back. I am so loving this paper, you can do so much with it. I then finished her off with some Diamond stickles.







This frame would be a perfect gift for the holidays, I have actually made several different ones as gifts and on the back of each of them I have attached an envelope so that you can write a little note inside for the person, and then they can put little pictures or memorabila from the year in the envelope, maybe some journaling.



Thanks for looking!!

Joy...Hope...Peace....Home Sweet Home!

Hello all!! This is Carissa from Loksi & Co.!! I am super excited about this project!!! I went to a Christmas Home Tour last year and got this idea from something I saw there!! I just knew this was perfect for a home decor item for this weeks challenge!!! Also, we were to use the color green, the Cuttlebug and felt. The Cuttlebug is on my Christmas wish list!! I was able to use the Cuttlebug at my local scrapbook store!! Yay!! This project was pretty fast and easy to assemble once you have all of your pieces together!! I love to make projects like this!! I also love to use 3D foam squares!!

Recipe:

3 - 6x6 Chipboard Square

Paper - BoBunny Winter Joy Collection

Ribbon

Felt flowers - BBD Supplies

Scrabble tiles

Glossy Accents

Chestnut Roan Colorbok ink chalk

Cuttlebug folder - Snowflake

Gypsy - Gypsy Font for the words

Christmas Cards cartridge - Corner scrolls

Words using the Gypsy...

The words were cut using Gypsy Font after they were welded together using a tutorial from Sheila at She's a Sassy Lady. I'm new to the Gypsy and I'm always looking for tutorials on how to use it!! Also, I used the shadow and blackout feature welded together to add dimension.

Challenge materials...

Green - The color green is on the corner scrolls and in the background of the paper.
Cuttlebug - I used the Cuttlebug folder on the lighter paper.
Felt - The purple and turquoise flowers are felt... I purchased these a couple of months ago to make headbands for my daughters... Worked perfectly for this project also!!!

Scrabble tiles...

The scrabble tiles were made ahead of time to allow time for drying... I used Glossy Accents to glue the paper onto the scrabble tile, cut the excess paper around and inked the edges. Then use a thin layer of Glossy Accents on top to make a pretty embellishment!!! Allow time to dry!!

Christmas Solutions Home Decor!

Recipe-


6x6 white shadow fame ( Dollar store)

Glimmer Mist "Tattered Leather"

scrap towel

Cuttlebug folder ()

Walnut Stain Distress Ink

Tim Holtz "Retro Grunge" paper stack

Time Holtz Mini Mask "regal"

White gel pen

Brown cross grain ribbon

Brown braiding cord

Adhesive dots

Christmas Solutions cartridge

Scrap piece of red, white and tan paper

For this altered project I took white shadow box frame that I found at the Family Dollar and took it apart. I sprayed a scrap towel with the glimmer mist and then rubbed it into the White frame to give it a distressed look.

I also attached a brown ribbon from the back of the frame so that it could be hung. The inside of this particular frame had a 5x5 background with a "tile" that measure 3x3. I trimmed down patterned paper to fit the size of the background, ran it through my cuttle bug and then took my ink pad and rubbed the paper so that the embossed images would stand out.

On the "tile" I again cut paper to size and place the mini mask down and used a finger dabber to lightly apply ink, once the mask was lifted a negative was left on my paper. Using the white gel pen I added faux stitching around the tile.

I found these felt buttons at Walmart and just tied and knotted the brown braiding cord thought the button. I used dots to adhere them.

The Santa was cut at 2 inches and inked before I popped him on. I really love altering home decor projects they are so easy so make them if your style or the style of whoever your giving it to.
