♥♥♥Easter Blessing♥♥♥ Candy Container

Hello everyone, Today I wanted to share a recycled Laughing Cow decorated container that I made for Easter. On my Treat container I used  
♥♥♥Really Reasonable Ribbon's Beautiful Satin's ♥♥♥


My friend Carol made several of these a couple of years back, and I absolutely fell in love with them, so thought I would give it a try. Thank you Carol(Chocolate,Crafts and bears, oh my)

I used the Diamond Satin Tulip, that is also in the March Ribbon Kit. I LOVE this beautiful ribbon and the color is soo pretty!!!! I also used some Pink 3/8"Satin with Iridescent Edge Pink for the Bunny Bow, and for around the outside edges of my container.



 ♥♥♥How to ♥♥♥
I took a Laughing Cow empty container and painted it using white Paint and some Creative Inspiration Paint in PINK to mixed in. Painted the outside of the entire container and set aside to dry. Next I took some Circle /Scalloped Circle Spellbinders and cut my sizes for the top and inside layering. 

I glued the pieces on, and then added my CottageCutz Easter Basket Bunny,CottageCutz Filigree Egg, Picket Fence Border. All are glued on except the Bunny and the cloud. I used Foam Squares to attach them. The cloud was a cutout from MLS, and I stamped a SU! sentiment on it. Super easy to make. All the Pearls are from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and they are glued on the egg!


♥♥♥It measures 4" around, and is 3/4" high on the inside♥♥♥
I think its perfect for holding jelly beans, mini choc eggs, mini chocolate bars the ones that are wrapped, you could maybe do 2 layers of those.



♥♥♥ I think these are a perfect gift idea for Easter ♥♥♥
 And SUPER Fun & Cute!!!

Challenges-
Creative Stamp Friends/Easter Package
Stamptacular Sundays/Fuzzy Friends(her face was stamped, and sentiment)
2 Sisters Challenge/Easter or Spring
Make it Monday/Anything goes

Thank you for looking and have a wonderful day!
Hugs to all,

♥♥♥Sweet Birthday Wishes♥♥♥



♥♥♥Hello Friends♥♥♥
 today I wanted to share another card made using the CottageCutz "Sweet Cupcake Shop" . I just had to use this sweet cupcake shop again!! I LOVE it!!!! Of course I went with my Favorite colors again :)

 ♥♥♥CottageCutz♥♥♥
For  the bottom of the Cupcake Shop I used Core'dinations Card Stock, and embossed it with a Cuddlebug Dots folder, then sanded it, so the lighter color would come through. The Icing on the shop was cut out using SU! design paper. Next for behind my cupcake shop I used the CottageCutz Oval Doily & Frame Die, and distressed the edges in pink. My white scalloped border is a MS punch

♥♥♥Embellishments♥♥♥
Design Paper Layers are all from scraps. I embellished my card  using Really Reasonable Ribbon(sheer double ruffled edge), and buttons. The sweet dew drops are from The Robins Nest, and I Love using these to embellish!!

♥♥♥CottageCutz Dies Used♥♥♥

♥♥♥Sweet Cupcake Easel Card♥♥♥


♥♥♥Hello and Happy Sunday to all♥♥♥

Today I'm sharing YES another Cupcake Card :) I absolutely LOVE this DARLING CottageCutz "Sweet Cupcake Shop" Die. Although this time I used it just as a CUPCAKE and decorate it up.


I thought it would be fun to decorate it up with lots of ribbons,trims, and seam binding. So for the Icing I used Rosette Ribbon, and added pearls to the centers. Next I used Seam Binding to create some rosettes for the bows, and the top of the icing.

For the cupcake Liner I used Lace and trim(Really Reasonable Ribbon) and then added some Pearls. I love the way this turned out, and will be working on another shortly.


My Card Base is cut using the Cricut, and then I used some Spellbinders circles for the design paper cutouts. I did  use the CottageCutz Tea Time Doily for behind my cupcake. The tags I used are from the Paper Line Prima Sun Kiss

♥♥♥Sweeet Treats♥♥♥


Hello everyone, today I'm sharing with you a ♥♥♥Sweeet Treat Container♥♥♥for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the CONTAINER that holds BUTTONS from RRR.




I save ALL my Button containers from ♥♥♥Really Reasonable Ribbon,♥♥♥ knowing I would use them one day to put treats inside. I did wash these before I put anything inside. 


Next I added my candy to the inside and set aside. I then decided on a Doily, then decorated the CottageCutz Oval Doily using a CC Love Tag, CC Filigree Egg, and the DARLING ♥♥♥Peachy Keen PK-250 Sleeping Teddy♥♥♥. I added some punched branches, Wild Orchid flowers, and a little butterfly. I used Really Reasonable Ribbons beautiful 7/8" White Crocheted Lace, and then ran RRR 3/8" Satin w/Iridescent Edge Pink through it.
 This week we are teaming up with Peachy Keen to share some of their DARLING stamps! 

♥♥♥Supplies Used♥♥♥

♥♥♥Summer Love Bug♥♥♥

♥♥♥Easel Card♥♥♥

Hello everyone, Today I'm sharing a summery Mr.Love Bug Easel card designed using CottageCutz Darling Dies!




My card base was cut using the cricut, and then I added some circles for layers. Next I cut the CottageCutz Love tag and distressed it in green. I stamped the sentiment on the bottom and then added my completed CottageCutz "Mr.Love Bug".

I colored him with copics, and then some Creative Inspiration Paints for some shimmer. My card was super easy to make, and fast to put together. I added some pearls, and cut a flower in half to add to each side of the love tag.




One easy thing I do, is keep extra CottageCutz tags and frames set in a drawer to pull from. It makes things go quickly when you have extra embellishments close at hand. 

My ribbon used is from Really Reasonable Ribbon and is from March's Ribbon Club Kit!




Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!
