Creative Cuts and More Christmas In July blog Hop

Welcome to the Creative Cuts And More (CC&M) blog hop!

Wasn't Noelle's project great? If you came here via Google Reader or some other way, make sure to start at the beginning, Die Cut Diva. You don't want to miss out on any fabulous inspiration.

I love to make as many gifts as I can. Often I come say, 'what in the world am I going to make them?' I think I came up with a great solution to that problem this year. A long time ago I came across this neat idea somewhere out there in the blogosphere. It has stuck with me and when I saw Terry's fabulous Milk Carton die cuts, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. This is what I made:
I made a little box and adhered a back into it and cut out a hole for a handle. I then used Killer Red Tacky Tape to adhere the milk cartons together. I don't have access to any Christmas type decor yet, so the space between the cartons is empty. I had hoped to find a cute little treasure to put in there. I picked up some jute, rope, whatever you want to call it at a garage sale a few weekends ago and have been itching to use it! It worked perfect to tie the snowflake to the handle and to tie the cartons shut.

This is the Snowflake #04 in a metallic cardstock! I glued some rhinestones on to give it a little flair! I used My Minds Eye Paper that had glitter and shimmer to it so the metallic die cuts and rhinestones were a perfect match!

Welcome Blog Hoppers! If you didn't start at the beginning, you can do so here, at the Die Cut Diva Blog! You won't want to miss out on any of the projects shared! Wasn't Noelle's project great?

I have a fun project to share today. I got the Cupcake Box Set in Bazzill Maraschino Cardstock. This is a 4 piece set. The lid, the acetate for the cutout in the lid, the cupcake holder form and the box base. Yep, you can see all the pieces by going here.

This box is sssooo fun! It could work for more than a cupcake. Wouldn't it be cute full of candy for party favors?

I glued Sapphire Rhinestones to the lid and doodled stitch marks.

I cut a Filigree Square Label in Bazzill textured white in half, doodled stitching marks, adhered a piece of Doodlebug paper and Doodlebug paper clip to it. The blue ribbon used to be white, but I used a Zig marker and colored it blue.

I used the Standing Pop-Up Card. These are so much fun! I'm addicted to using pictures for everything and thought this would be perfect! I simply adhered some Imaginisce Twitterpated Paper to the stand or card base. I then adhered the card together and added a picture. I used Imaginisce Twitterpated Rub-on on white paper and cut around them. I adhered Imaginisce Twitterpated ribbon then the rub-ons. It was as quick and simple as that!

Wouldn't these make great little treats for Grandma's for Easter?

Creative Cuts & More Blog Hop

I'm glad you stopped by today! If you arrived here from Holly's blog you made it to the right place. If you happened to get here from else where make sure to head back to Die Cut Diva where the blog hop begins, you won't want to miss out on any inspiration or fabulous projects!

I saw a pen box made out of coasters a while back. I'm not very into pen boxes but I thought it was really cute. So I decided to make one without a bottom, for a plant! I don't have many Easter decorations and thought this would be perfect!

I used the Coaster Set from Creative Cuts & More. These coasters were nice and thick but soft enough that I could use my eyelet punch easily on them. I altered each coaster, punched two holes on two sides, then I tied them all together with ribbon! It was super quick and simple.

We have been fogged in and/or overcast for a couple weeks now it seems. I haven't been able to get a good picture. I apologize for the dark photos.

Now hop on over to Stephany's blog and see what yummy eye candy she has in store for you!
