Life In 3-D for Just Buggin'

The challenge for Just Buggin' this week is to make a three dimesional project using your Cricut.  You know, like a purse or box or bag.  Luckily I had just finished these cute little Valentines favor bags and knew they would be just right for this challenge!

And the best part is I decorated them using scraps and freebies from my stash!

Product Info:

• The base cardstock is DCWV from the 'pastels' cardstock stack.
• The red cardstock is from just a bit I had in my paper scraps box, and I have no clue who it is by or where I got it, but it has a neat 'kraft paper' look to it.
• The patterned paper is Fancy Pants, but it was just a couple of scraps,so I don't remember the name for that design.  I measured the bag and cut this paper to fit, and inked the edges a bit with a dark pink ink pad.
• White organza ribbon from my stash.  The bag has a small slot on one side, so I fed one end of the ribbon through the slot and tied the tag on in a small bow.
• Pink rosebuds are freebies that were on a package I received.  I used the wire on the rosebud to wind it around the handle of the bag.

Cricut Info:

• Bag was cut using Tags, Bags, Boxes & More using 'giftbg'
• Tag was cut using Tag, Bags, Boxes & More using 'scltop-h' using the 'hole' option

And that was it!  They are very easy to make and decorate, and I love how cute they look!  Just right for a few small pieces of candy or even a tiny gift . . . like, jewelery for instance!

Blessings folks!  Becky

The Last Christmas Projects . . .

Yes, this is my last Christmas projects of 2009.  And you know, it's about time!  Today I am sharing one card and one tag with you.  They are both made using papers from Fancy Pants 'Christmas Magic' collection.

I made this card for my Dad's cousin and his wife who every year make gift baskets for a whole lot of people.  They have fruit and nuts and even homemade baked goods.  For several years they have been giving these goodies to my parents, but this year they included me in the group, and I am so grateful!  I hope they like their card!

Sentiment and ornament stamp from Walmart Christmas stamp set, using Versamark ink and Rangers 'Queens Gold' embossing powders, heat embossed

The scallopped tag was a gift from my friend Tish!  (Tish, if you read this, please e-mal me!!!)

The paper lace came from One Hundred Wishes - an incredible source that no longer sells ribbon, lace, etc.. 

The deep rose and ecru scrunched seam binding is frm Glitter Your World

The pearls are from Prima e. line of bling

Glittery bits are Stickles 'stardust'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I made this tag while I still had the Christmas stuff out, and I was still in the creating mode.  It was made using the same paper products as above, with the addition of the Christmas Magic paper "Chestnus Roasting" and "Christmas Magic Strips".  Other additions are the shimmery organza ribbon, brass safety pin and bell, vintage lace from my stash, and the velvet ribbon from Glitter Your World.  I also used some Stickles 'icicle' on the sentiment.  Here it is . . .

I hope you've enjoyed these projects.  This will probably be my last post until after Christmas (although you never know!) so I want to take this opportunity to thank you for each time you visit, each comment, and especially for welcoming me back into the cardmaking community after my almost 10 month absence.  It is so good to be playing with paper again!   Christmas Blessings to you all, Becky
