Cuttlebug Camp Day 4

Cuttlebug Camp Day 4 *Christmas tags

My entry for Christmas tags on Cuttlebug Camp day 4. I didn't have The Winter Die Cut Set so I used my cricut machine to cut out the christmas trees, snowfalkes and stars using the doodle charms cartridge. I embossed the red cardstock with stars using the Christmas Ornaments embossing folder then added the red ribbon. I did the same thing with the green cardstock with trees but I used the Birds & swirls embossing folder. The blue with snowflakes is a vellum, I used the D'vine swirls but you couldn't see the embossed here. Please right click the photo to open a new window to see the embossed swirls.

Prosducts I used:

Colorbok- cardstock red and green

Georgia pacific- white cardstocks

Color Box- inks

Plaid- vellum

K&Company- adhesive

Offray- blue ribbon

Others- yellow ribbon and sparkly ricrac

Cuttlebug embossing folders: Birds & Swirls, D'vine Swirl, Christmas Ornaments

Thank you for looking!

Cuttlebug Camp Day 4

Cuttlebug Camp Day 4 *Autumn Tablescape Part 4, Tree of Thanks

My entry for Tree of Thanks. I didn't have wood branches so I used the old branches of the plastic flowers that I bought long time ago. It's good that I didn't throw away, finally I used it for good reason. I cut out the leaves from the cricut using the doodle charm cartridge. Embossed them with different embossing folders and clip it to the branches, that's how simple and easy it is. I used the small flower vase and covered with cardstock that I embossed.

Products I used:

Colorbok- cardstocks

Cuttlebug embossing folders: birds & swirls, D'vine swirl, Spots & Dots, Floral fantasy

Small clothe pins, plastic branches and flower vase

Cuttlebug Camp Day 3

Cuttlebug Camp 3rd Day *Autumn Tablescape Part 3, More Pumpkin

Another paper pumpkin for Autumn Tablescape Part 3. I used my cricut machine to make these 8 circles with scallop on the edges. Embossed them through my cuttlebug , then inked them up, folded them in half then started adhering them together. Before putting the last 2 pieces I tucked in the ribbons. This is easy to make and so much fun. I think this is great for christmas ornaments too, just used christmas colored cardstocks or patter papers. I made only one for now I'll make some more later.

Cuttlebug Challenge #3

I'm so happy that I found this beautiful Cuttlebug Challenge Blog . The challenge is to create something other than a card or to alter an item using your embossing folders.

I altered this small plastic container. I embossed the pink carstock and the bottom part of the paper using the Frills embossing borders. I doodled the scallop edge of the pink cardstock and I added some ribbon, small tag and charm. Here are some mini address book, mini post it and clips that I put inside this small plastic container. I used the Textile embossing folder in the blue cardstock cover of the mini address book and the clips holder. And the Floral Fantacy for the pink cover of the mini post it. My oldest daughter will it to her friend. Hope she will love it!
